Episode Gladio again: This may not be the real Gilgamesh but he's kicking my rear end. I have no idea how I'm supposed to beat him. I made it to the second phase but he annihilated me and I can barely scratch him.

Once I got that sucker up to 4x damage he went down pretty easy.

He spends so much time being unblockable in the second phase that I can't really do that. I'm really not sure what I'm missing. It feels like they wanted to design a Dark Souls boss but with a much, much less responsive dodge roll.

Don't dodge roll, perfect guard instead. e: except when he does Impulse (the one where he draws his sword and sends a shockwave) Are you doing Time Attack or something? You should have like 20 Hi Potions

I assumed I had to dodge roll those. Anyway I beat him this time. I focused less on dodging and perfect blocking and instead just... blocked regular style. I still got beat up bad in the second phase but I still won.

Ignis: yessssss eat yer vegetables fucker  Optional battle though it may be that is actually a really good fight and also genuinely hard. Considering the casual-tier difficulty of the entire rest of the game they should have the courage to try stuff like that more often. Also, something that isn't explicitly pointed out anywhere: if you get knocked down and manage to get mostly clear of any further attacks for a few seconds then holding Triangle will restore some HP. You can take an attack or two in the process but a stagger will reset Iggy's glasses animation. Sapozhnik fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Mar 22, 2018 |

Sapozhnik posted:also lol Episode Prompto sure sucked huh You take that back you BASTARD. Nah it's whatever, though I will say that I found Episode Prompto to be the best of the three in terms of story and gameplay. Ultimately it was what turned me around on Prompto as a character, from not at all giving a poo poo about him to genuinely appreciating his character and presence in the story. So different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I still need to finish Episode Prompto. It dumped me out into the little open world and I haven't picked it back up since, but I did enjoy it. I'm not a huge fan of how he plays, but the story stuff is good and it seems to have a lot to do in it. Plus Aranea. Doesn't it just turn into a Metal Gear bossfight at the end? Seems like a p legit piece of DLC.

Got a weird corruption on my drive and lost my save files for FFXV Windows after 14 hours played. I was just after getting the sword behind the waterfall. Anyone have a save file even remotely near there I could steal?

The stardust ability is really good for reducing aggro and generally making night fights better.

I feel like out of all the bros Gladio breaks the game harder than anyone. He has a simple yet incredibly powerful counter that lets you fight enemies way above your level once you get the rage meter going

Yeah Gladio is really, really drat strong. So is Prompto, though. He can do truly idiotic damage on vulnerable enemies, at least compared to what I could do with Noctis. I switched to him while fighting the boss in Malmalam Thicket after fighting the boss for a couple minutes and getting it down to like 60%. The boss became vulnerable and I used Prompto's special attack and the boss was almost dead, just like that. It was insane.

Is there still a FF 14 thread on site? I just got gifted a copy on PS4 with the dlc. So now I've been leveling conjurer and just unlocked the White mage job. Healing has turned out to be pretty fun.

Actually that's kind of what happens every time I'm in a fight with like 5 or more dudes but at least Noct can blink away. It can be kind of tricky, but usually I just run away to the edge as noct when the fight starts, then switch. Gladio, Noct and Iggy will all gladly aggro the poo poo out of enemies. I assume the bazooka is good for multiple enemies, but usually I use the SMG to burst enemies down one by one.

It's also way more fun than it should be to see the AI controlling Noctis, because you get to see from a different perspective what Noct looks like when he's fighting and it's awesome, just this teleporting whirl of weapons and attacks.

I wonder if those weird purple chocobos are a reference to 8-bit theater. I mean, probably not but it does remind me of the the chocobo-breeding arc from that comic. mauman fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Mar 23, 2018 |

About to start Zodiac Age for the first time. Any hot tips to keep in mind? I briefly played the original over a decade ago, but don’t remember much. The page over at beforeiplay doesn’t seem immediately helpful.

The page over at beforeiplay doesn’t seem immediately helpful. 1. Don't stress about job selection. The game isn't that hard and the ability to have two jobs per character means that everyone is going to be strong and versatile. The previous version of the game only let you have one job per character and wasn't all that hard. Now you can have two, and the rest of the game did not get buffed to accommodate that extra versatility. No matter what you do, you're going to have a stronger and more versatile party than if you played the PS2 Zodiac Job System version, so don't worry about it. If you really want to get into min/maxing, you can have some fun doing it, but don't min/max your job/character combinations unless doing so is fun for you all on its own. (I happen to enjoy job min/maxing myself, but there's no reason to do it if you don't.) 2. Learn how gambits work. I think some players think of the gambit system as a sort of optional "make combat take less micromanagement" thing, but it really is the core of the combat system. They are very simple to understand (basically just if -> than rules), but the initial setup can be a little tedious when you don't yet have access to all the options. 3. Black magic is overpowered. Have fun with it. 4. Balthier is the leading man. Once you play for a bit it might pay to come back and ask some license board-specific questions, because it has a few weird quirks now that you can have two jobs, but for the most part there's nothing urgent (and if you haven't played FFXII at all before, if I tried to explain it now it'd be gibberish).

Is there any class combination that could actually make a decent challenge run? Maybe whitemage/timemage on all characters or something?
