seiferguy posted:Wait, it works against Adamantoise? I was in the middle of looking up a long and involved guide for taking on Adamantoise when a goon told me "Dude, just use the ring". I think it took me maybe 10 mins total (whereas the Adamantoise fight when done without the ring can take an hour or more).

I had to do the adamantoise legit before they buffed the ring and I do not recommend it. I also wish you could fight baby adamantoises cause I see there skeletons around, you jerks.

I kind of stopped playing XV after I was in one of the optional dungeons and got tired of having to fight the same lovely enemies over and over again. The Adamantoise trophy was the last one I needed to get platinum too. I had everything mostly ready, including the zwill crossblades and whatnot. I guess I got something to do tonight!

just keep in mind the success rate is affected by your magic stat (I believe), so boost that as much as you can with accessories/arms/food/etc.

Hot tip for Trial Mode: do it the second time Larsa is with you and have him just constantly use Shades of Black. Getting lucky with that let me get hilariously far for how low level everyone is at that point.

Shades of Black is awesome in the Zodiac versions.

How does Shades of Black work? Like I get the general idea from reading the description but does it draw from spells a character knows or is it any random spell in the game or what?

Elephant Ambush posted:How does Shades of Black work? Like I get the general idea from reading the description but does it draw from spells a character knows or is it any random spell in the game or what? Random from the entire list of black magic spells, not limited to what the character knows or what you've found. You have an equal chance to cast anything, which means you're as likely to cast Blind as you are to cast Scathe. For when you get it, it's amazing, because the majority of the spells you can draw are at least as strong as what a Black Mage could cast at the time, and many are stronger. It's not uncommon to just wipe enemy groups with Scourge or Scathe or something by using Shades of Black. And because it's a Technick, it doesn't cost MP, so you can spam it forever. I'd say an actual Black Mage is always better, just because you always know what you can cast and you can boost it with an elemental staff, but Shades of Black is a ton of fun in the mid-game.

He was already the most useful guest imo in the original version due to his unlimited sack of hi potions but his spell list in this version makes him even more useful. I'm going to miss the little scamp.

I didn't have too much trouble with Zodiark but Yiazmat is irking me a bit. The first ~45 literal millions of HP is mindlessly dumb and simple but the aggression on the last two or three health bars of his are annoying me now.

Honestly Larsa should have been a permanent party member, he's way better than 33% of the existing cast.

It actually bothers me unreasonably that's there's a whole system for a fourth party member but it's only used when you you have a guest character.

Sakurazuka posted:It actually bothers me unreasonably that's there's a whole system for a fourth party member but it's only used when you you have a guest character. It's not unreasonable at all. For example, magic is most powerful when you cast reflect on your party and cast a group spell on it. With a fourth party member you're doing significantly more damage just by virtue of them being there. And that's just one of many things a fourth party member gives you. It's especially hosed up because guests are for the most part fully functional party members in this version of the game.

If I just wrapped up great crystal and need to go to Pharos, is that near the end? I'm trying to do hunts and espers while I have Reddas, but some things seem a bit too strong for me right now (main three around 47, B team about 40). Is there a good leveling spot I missed?

Henne Mines infamously has a spot you can infinitely grind with Break.

You are near the end, yes. Look up Henne Mines leveling if you want to just full-on level grind, though really equipment and licenses are going to be more important overall. Also you're like 10 levels higher than my party at that same point, but I suspect the fact that I've been essentially cheesing random battles with the potent secret combination of "just use black magic with an elemental staff equipped" means I've been getting away with things I shouldn't be.

Because I'm playing Type0 now and I actually enjoy the combat in that a hell of a lot more than XV and thats pretty damning. I'm having a hard time working up the energy to go back and finish off the XV trophies I'm missing.

the new boss is another ffxv boss, it is a boss and you fight it. exciting stuff..... prompto on the other hand is a short third person shooter where you sneak around a base and fight metal gear, so it is much better

I just started FF15 and boy is it something. I get to draw magic like FF8, the magic has friendly fire so it's loving useless, the game plays itself like FF12/13, I can't explore anything in the wilds without having to deal with a loving imperial dropship every 60 goddamned seconds, and said dropship has like 8 guys with machine guns who mow my party down in seconds flat. Please convince me to not get a refund because I'm really not enjoying this, even after I finally got to drive on my own and not have Ignis grandma-drive me to sidequests.

the friendly fire from magic does very little damage and it's easy to heal people so it doesn't ever matter, just throw it at poo poo. and you can just walk away from magitek troopers, they will never chase you. otherwise all your complaints are valid! ff15!!!

Why would you buy FF15 at this point in time and not look up a loving single review first?  Its been out forever and everybody could tell you what its like.I really really do not understand you "buy first, return later" goons. I really don't. No, 15 is a poo poo game, you should have asked first.

There is friendly fire on the magic, but it does like single digit damage on your teammates. Use magic liberally to nuke big groups of enemies. I'm not sure how you mean the game plays itself especially since 13 didn't. For the dropships: you can either gain some levels, use magic to nuke the dropship troopers as they land or just run away from them. If you still don't like it, get a refund.

Yeah your friends mislead you then. Its a very pretty game with a good fishing minigame and some decently satisfying button mashy combat but hoo boy the story is a mess and the game goes nowhere. The best part is that big open area at the beginning. Its more a Skyrim game than an FF. BGrifter posted:It's bad, but will you be ok with having played 14 out of 15 main series Final Fantasies? It was worth the $30 to me for that. For this reason I'm not too bummed about having bought it though. Was still interesting if only to see where Square went wrong. Game's development cycle was just too much of a mess and you can really feel it.

Helps make the characters mean something in better games like Final Fantasy Record Keeper and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
