Can you bring up a mini-map in the Type-0 academy (or otherwise know which direction you're facing)? It's a pain to navigate. I have to resort to checking the minimal in the pause menu before and after changing rooms to figure out which direction I'm facing.

The big map shows your direction but there's no minimap no

We're talking about the best FF game Strangers of Paradise, which will release on steam soon.

Of course, FFXVI will release on EGS, no doubt on that

Okay, it was half-joking cause I have an top-grade PC, it's mostly a joke about the game having ran bad on PC :v: So sorry, meant no offense.

I was looking into getting Strangers in Paradise on steam when it comes out (I got no issues with Epic Game store but I'm lazy and might as well wait), were there issues with PC port of the game?

I vaguely remember some technical complaints about the game, something about things being blurry? I didn't hear if they fixed anything or not.

Am I supposed to be able to do the 4* missions in CCR as soon as they unlock? I just finished the first mission in Wutai and I was able to beat all the 3* ones but I tried the 4* version of the Wutai boss and he wrecked me with his special ability. I guess I could be using Barrier to reduce the damage and idk some ability to bring the meter down to a point where it doesn't oneshot me even then?

I really wanna get Stranger of Paradise, especially now that it's cheaper, but life is happening currently and other things gotta take priority.

I suppose it's not going anywhere at least but I did very much enjoy the demo when I hosed around with it. Even if I'm really bad at it.

I dunno if the demo has been updated but they've generally made the game easier to play with patches, and the dlc story stuff can be done with a buff that when combined with certain abilities makes you invincible.

Maybe you still need a bit more Gamer Sense™️ to get through it initially but it's not more demanding than most action games, I feel. Still wish it had a jump button though.

It depends.

Honestly you can do all the way up until the optional superboss basically as soon as stuff unlocks. If one thing is giving you trouble move to another.

So I felt so incredibly cheated when I played FFXV that all "Guests" are only around for one dungeon. I thought it be like XII where you can zoom around with them in the open world, do sidequess with them and poo poo. Nope.

But apparently it gets even worse. You can do the Iris dungeon before you even get Iris. So she gets nothing, you just drive with her for a bit and that is that. Also if you try to get out of the car so it doesn't auto drive you to the plot

quote:

I've tried riding a Chocobo while she was in the party (she has a pink one btw) and eventually you'll get a message saying that "You can't travel here with Iris"

FFXV makes it hard to like it at times.

That does feel like the series sometimes;

Sometimes it's incredibly, if not overly, friendly and will trip over itself to have you enjoy it.
And others it's a rachet old bastard that will smack you upside the head if it sees so much as a twitch your line-straight face.

As was talked about a bit up thread, there’s several mechanical elements that’s specifically built around how the Ps5 loads assets, and back-porting that would probably be a mess. So no, no Ps4 version.
Guess I’ll have to get a Ps5 soon myself

I mean the honest answer boils down to how concerned you are about spoilers.

Even if a PC release doesn't happen you can still pick up a PS5 down the line and the game for cheaper, but the odds of you discovering that Clive was actually Bahamut in a skinsuit the entire time go up significantly.

I think at this point every mainline final fantasy game is on PC in some way or another? I think it's just a matter of when.

For me personally I'm ok with just waiting, since I still have to catch up on the more recent games like 15 and Strangers of Paradise.

And also wait ImpAtom said applies too. I'm usually ok with light spoilers but I know that's not everyone's thing.

Instead of difficulty options they've opted to make the game easier for players who want that by giving them a series of accessories they can equip that will automatically do combos or give a larger evade window or what-have-you.
