if there are other games on the system you want, then sure. there's Uncharted 4, World of Final Fantasy, Bloodborne, etc. don't buy a system for one game, unless you really just have money to burn. but if you get the system, FFXV is absolutely worth picking up

The choice is now or in a few months, so if this is actually as good as it seems, I'll just grab one now.

The current version of the game is being patched to improve it. You shouldn't rush to grab a system if this is your big system seller. Wait for the GotY edition or whatever and you'll almost certainly have a better experience.

On the other hand, if you wait, you'll miss out on the moogle chocobo carnival, which gives you the GREATEST OUTFITS POSSIBLE.

PopeCrunch posted:On the other hand, if you wait, you'll miss out on the moogle chocobo carnival, which gives you the GREATEST OUTFITS POSSIBLE. yeah, I mean, you can always wait, but if it's a game you're pretty sure you'll like based on what you've read/seen, there's no real reason not to get it now. you could wait for a "game of the year" edition, but there's no guarantee there will be one, much less that it would be out in a couple months anyway. and at what point do you just never buy games because you're waiting for some compilation version to come out?

Real question then: does this play at all like Dragon's Dogma? It looks like a smoother, yet similar control system.

It's not even close. I can't really think of any similarities, at least not control-wise. It's pretty fun but really shallow.

The open world system is sort of similar I suppose. But there's no way to romance the weapon shop owner..

Apparently making a claim on a forum about how the summons don't show up, makes them show up. Ramuh just showed up in the sewer dungeon to help take out 1 last imp... Also, talk about camera issues, that dungeon loving blows! hagie fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jan 28, 2017 |

It runs perfectly fine on a regular PS4 and if you're asking because you're thinking about getting a PS4 for the first time then, still, wait. Let them patch up the PS4 Pro's is and the games to run better. Also they're adding content to ffxv posthumously, so the longer you wait the better chance you have of getting that content at start. And you never know, they might release a PS4 pro super slim edition with more whatevers and whosits between now and then.

I swear, some of you are so paranoid about people just buying a game they want to play. unless I've missed it, the game runs fine on a Pro, and I doubt they're going to going to come out with some new hardware revision less than a year after the Pro came out

Not a PS Pro for either, unless you can get a good deal on trade ins to slash the costs a bunch. They've gone conspicuously quiet on PS Pro enhancements for XV and NieR Automata is unquestionably better on Pro based on its demo, but it's not a hundred+ dollars better.

I'm so disappointed by the reel and rod from the festival. They were such a pain in the rear end to get and to have them be barely stronger than the beginner equipment is annoying and terrible. The fish I had to catch to get the right tag were pretty big and tough to reel in so while I don't know how it would be on lower levels and weaker equipment, I imagine it would be even worse. They really should have been the best ones you can get but not necessarily by a large amount.

I don't think they should have been the strongest necessarily, but it would have been cool if they had some passive effect like "line strength +10%" or something

As a new player, is there anything I can freely sell? Or should I hoard it all for they one time I might need it?

Old weapons can be sold whenever, but it's a good idea to save any food, consumables, or treasures for creating magic. Especially if the items enable Tri/Quad/Quintcast, those are the best.

Managed to catch both the Devil of the Cygillian (got me the Tranquility rod) and then Liege of the Lake tonight! I have to say that the recipe you learn at the Carnival that grants -25% line damage is hugely helpful. I ended both battles with at least 25% of my line remaining. Now....I have no idea what I'll fish for

Well, they did say like the Ultima Blade, rather than specifically it. I guess the real best plan is a Zwill for every slot and also Ignis.

Going camping while the adamantoise is up and about is kind of hilarious. You'd think they wouldn't be able to sleep through all the noise.

I'm trying out the carnival, and so far I've found two "find X number of these objects" quests (with no search area on the map for either), and a "remember customers' orders and bring them the right things within a time limit" quest. Did they put anything actually enjoyable in this carnival or should I just turn it off now? Suaimhneas fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Jan 29, 2017 |

For the find moogle quest, you'll see that you've gotten 6 additional quests added to your list, and each one tells you where to be to find each moogle. The carnival is mainly to run around and look at things and use the new camera feature. I spent about 90 minutes grabbing every unique item that carries back over to the main game and that was about it.

Got my platinum and caught the Liege of the Lake. Now all that's left to do are the bonus dungeons. I'm NOT doing all the hunts, or gathering all the fish and recipees.

It's weird how much effort they put into fishing - getting to level 10 is pretty much the beginning and the way the fishing progression goes you could spend days on it for no reason. A friend of mine did every hunt, every dungeon, every quest but gave up on fishing like 40% of the way in.

Japanese developers seem to love fishing for some reason. The Breath of Fire games come to mind. They had fishing mini games that were so in-depth and involved tey almost could be their own stand-alone games. Then again, the rewards were actually more worth the effort since you could trade the fish for items or use them as buffs/healing items in battle.

There are also: Chocobo racing Logic puzzles Shooting gallery Trying to hit a cactuar while invincible wolves keep knocking you down Taking pictures of designated targets with a sample photo for some clues to their location Pinball for medals instead of the usual prizes Fishing for tags (really not worth it, although you can build up a decent stock of lines without having to buy them) You can also use your hereditary powers to warp space and time in order to catch balloons for crying children. Otherwise just grab the costumes and recipes and cash in the medals you've found lying around for Cid-quest-items, rare coins, and the key item that lets you watch the fireworks, which gives you an item called the Dream Egg that might have some significance in the future.
