Time Mage is a free pass to killing every single end game boss. You can do the proper way by just using Quicken, Meteor, and a butt load of Elixirs to take infinite turns or you can just Bio someone and then Quicken anyway and since Bio does damage every frame while Quicken stops all action bars from budging, you're basically free to walk away for a few hours and win.

How long is this DLC supposed to be? From how meandering and pointless everything so far is, it could be anywhere from another half hour to five hours.

I can give this to FFXV, their DLC campaigns are at least a decent length. Though, what is included in that length is up for debate.

Yeah, I was worried this piece of poo poo would take a dozen episodes to slog through, but it should be over pretty soon.

You guys are spot on with the lady mercenary being more interesting that any of the boy band. She goes from working with the empire to fighting them, running support for innocent civilians, hunting down wayward dip shits and stopping mad scientists from destroying the world by endemonifying themselves. She's like Lighting, but not annoying. An incredibly rare thing for a FF character. I want her DLC. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jun 4, 2018 |

Gruckles posted:Good news it's going to be the first episode released in the second batch of DLC. That's the DLC where they add campaigns for characters we WANTED to play as in the first place, right? Because Cor is already more interesting than Noct & Friends, and he has maybe two pages of dialogue, tops. EDIT: Never mind! Aranea is literally the only character I want to play as in the new DLC episodes. The others include Ardyn, whose gameplay probably consists of following around the other protagonists and making vaguely threatening statements, Lunafreya, AKA Pouty Political Simulator 2018; and another episode about Noctis, because the main game didn't have enough bloody Noctis. However, if Noctis' new campaign is just him fishing and nothing else, I will buy the poo poo out of it. Lt. Conquistador fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Jun 4, 2018 |

Ardyn's DLC is him sitting in front of a microphone and a wall of security monitors in the giant floating castle and you have to insult the boys through a series of riveting quicktime prompts. Prompto opens a door to a room filled with nondescript equipment, press 'A' to laugh maniacally or 'X' to mock his hair.

Yes, Incredibly key character is something that you should consider your antagonist and female lead to be. I do hope that Episode Ardyn is literally "Troll the gently caress out of goobers"

Oh my god, that's right. You could replace all the enemy basic troopers with Prompto, couldn't you? Have them wearing a different outfit, one you've modded out of Prompto's normal rotation. Then the revelation that he's actually one of them would make more sense, have been better foreshadowed, and carry greater emotional weight.

Then the revelation that he's actually one of them would make more sense, have been better foreshadowed, and carry greater emotional weight. I think Ignis or Galdiolus would've made better clones. The former is super intelligent and the later is strong and more soldier-like. I guess the problem would be that they're very stoic in nature and it would be tough to write them so the player could feel sorry for them. Prompto is like that annoying guy at Comic-Con that cosplays as Cloud and loves to go on and on about how "FFVII was the best game ever made". If all the imperials were Promptos, you could just ride in on a chocobo and they'd all drop their weapons to gush over the giant bird-horse. That said, his DLC is kind of heavy-handed. He was so happy-go-lucky throughout this journey and tried his best to keep everyone cheered up after suffering such heavy losses, and after being separated from his friends and stranded in the snow, he has to confront that he's not even human and just a failed experiment that got away.

Blowing up a battleship sized drilling machine on steroids with a generic machine gun. Not even a special magic one, just one that was sitting around. And being really dull while it does it. Impressive in a way.

"BEHOLD, THE ULTIMATE MACHINE!" "Wait, is Ultimate WEAPON hiding behind that robotic worm?" "No, fool, this thing you call a worm is nothing less than perfection!" "I mean, you made Diamond WEAPON, I'd have thought the ultimate thing would be... y'know more... ultimate." At least we know where Prompto inherited his intellect.

There are indeed sidequests, but you have a very narrow window to do them. I think there's one or two immediately before the campfire scene, and some more immediately after. Going into the base is obviously the cutoff.

Nothing in the Prompto DLC mattered. It was all a complete waste of time.  I still don't understand how he was some kind of super soldier clone thing, then became a fat peasant kid, then became Noctis' friend/jester!

He was a clone baby, someone from Insomnia (Noctis' kingdom) stole him and brought him there, then he lived as a normal kid and that led to the current state. I'm pretty sure the whole idea of them making clones was just so that they'd have expendable people to fight their wars, like the clone troopers in Star Wars. This game being a a bunch of assets stapled together shows even more when they didn't even bother linking the end of this DLC to where Prompto was in the game. I feel bad for anyone that actually liked this game's story, because Square clearly didn't.
