The Cross Chain system looks really cool, btw, but for some reason it feels familiar. They are quick time events involving your buds to allow you to deal more damage to enemies knocked into the Vulnerable state.

I have to wonder with this game, how much more would I have liked it if the frame-rate wasn't dogshit. What I'm asking is have we had any further talk of a PC port?

I didn't notice any framerate issues on my inferior Xbone.

Its probably familiar because it was in one of the demos then taken out later

Is there anything to do with this game after you finish it yet? I loved my bros and enjoyed it, but I gave up diving boring rear end dark caves for hours in post-game since it sucked.

Other than wait for the eventual co-op, character DLC whatever the hell they have planned at the moment... No?

Man why are they adding this cross chain system now of all times, I don't get what this game is trying to do anymore.

I was thinking they would expand it for DLC purposes but all the DLC has its own systems which makes even less sense.

Although with all the effort they are putting into the system they would be stupid to not just do a full FF15-2 at this point

I think the general idea is to use FFXV as a testing ground for new mechanics and systems, and Kay the groundwork for a sequel or new FF. At least I hope so!

There's no way they won't reuse the engine for more games

I don't have any intention of buying any of the DLC since it's doesn't enhance the main game in any way unlike The Old Hunters in this little game called Bloodborne.

Still can't complain about free gameplay enhancements to the main game, though I think the game needs far more overhauling than that. But at least they are thinking how they can improve the experience without shoving it down our throats as DLC.

I feel like its this plus making up for the trainwreck that was post Altissia onwards.

I mean I think they're supposed to add more main-game content eventually?

The Magitek Armor looks far lamer than I hoped but nothing could live up to the Power Rangers poo poo that they understandably had to ditch.

Has anyone played the new quest? Is it just a new timed hunt or something else?

Call or fold?

It's just a regular quest you take at the Hunter HQ in Cleigne. Someone asks you to kill a thing and you go kill it, very straightforward.

Finally took it upon myself to grind a bunch of XP, triple it in Altissia, and take on the finale...

...and what a finale! The first miniboss of Insomnia nearly killed the team a couple times over, the story encounters were suitably epic, and the stack of endings all sold their heartfelt intentions without getting goofy (unless you're one of those Cup Noodle pranksters).

So many great finishing touches. Now if only the other story chapters could've gotten me as invested in the fellas.

Time to dive into that DLC goodness and put this season pass to use for once!

According to someone, I believe Tabata, that's a bad dream Noct had foretelling what would happen if he didn't have his friends and basically turned evil like Ardyn.

So they did the CG when the game was Vs whatever the gently caress and made a stupid excuse to add it to the game. Got it.

No, that CG movie is actually from a trailer or promo or whatever and they went "gently caress it" and patched it into the game in one of the very first updates.

Was more annoying to fight the things as noct, just became a bit of a slog if you hosed up the "stealth"

It was a slog if you tried to do stealth. Just doge and counter like the whole drat game and it took no time at all.

They made the ring beefy.

Soo beefy that if you pump up your magic stat a ton, you can start killing anything effortlessly.

Yeah like in FF13 when you kill a character, they are revived for a single CG cutscene, and then they die immediately after the cutscene
