So preordering from Sony nets you:

angler dlc
16bit car dlc
masamune dlc

but preordering from amazon nets you

masamune dlc
gold chocobo car dlc

BUT WAIT, do a really quick flash game and you also get

Travel Pack, Camera Kit, and Gourmand Set. and Mage Mashers from Final Fantasy IX, The Blazefire Saber from Final Fantasy XIII, and the Gae Bolg Spear from Final Fantasy XIV

preordering from squeenix:

royal rainment
masamune
platinum leviathan car

.....why is this so loving difficult to just have a complete collection...

So far, it's not quite that bad. But you can definitely spend a lot of time in the field between story beats. Xenoblade X lost me like about 10 hours in, because it just got repetitious and boring. I'm really enjoying my time with XV, though, because it feels much more crafted. It's not the story-driven experience that the older games were, but it's very fresh because it tries some new things. It feels like an evolution of XII, although I think that game did a more able job of delivering a story. Obviously, the world is better constructed and fleshed out in XV though.

I put 310 hours into Xenoblade X so that sounds good.

1.02 patch notes:

Battle

Added actions inspired by the “Omen” trailer produced by Digic Pictures to the game:
– “Shift (Warp) Drop Kick” (When daggers are equipped).
– “Backward Shift (Warp) Magic” (Elemental Magic Activation within a short distance).
Below are examples of Wait Mode-exclusive abilities added to Ability Call to improve the Wait Mode experience:
– Libra Speed Increase
By using Libra you can obtain information more quickly.
– Wait Gauge Recovery
The Wait Gauge will recover upon defeating an enemy.
– Surprise Attack Shift Break
When Shift Breaking to an enemy that isn’t targeting you it’s easy to destroy the targeted part.
– Final Blow Shift Break
When Shift Breaking to an enemy with less than half HP, the damage multiplier will increase.
Additional battle screen effects added to make it easier for players to understand their HP status:
– When HP is less than 25%, the whole screen will be covered by a light red filter.
– When in a pinch, the whole screen will be covered by a dark red filter.
– The Enemy Whistle will be available to use after downloading the patch. You can call monsters but they won’t always appear.
– Movement taken at the time of a MP Burst is cancelled. Trying to shift in MP Burst will cause movements to fail.

Field

You can now shift forward in the field outside of battle.
Music Player item has been added so that you can listen to your favorite songs while walking.

Menu

A gallery has been added to the main menu where you can see the dishes acquired by Ignis and the fish caught by Noctis.

Regalia

Opening the menu during auto-drive will not halt driving.
Regalia Shop added that lets you shop while riding in the Regalia.

Event

Event scenes from Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and the “Omen” trailer were added as they exceeded the disc space capacity.

Additional Improvements

Various bug fixes.
Adjustments to gameplay comfort:
– Camera adjusted in narrow areas.
– Menu use improved.
– Addition of other functions to enhance convenience.
Adjustments to improve the main scenario experience:
– Changes to towns were made to fit the scenario.
– Changes to the open world were made to fit the scenario.
Side-quests have been balanced, dish types added, added fish types and fishing locations.
Leviathan boss encounter and battle experience further improved.

So how's the frame rate on the regular PS4? It wasn't so hot in the demos but I'm assuming it's more stable now? Not expecting 60 or anything tbh.

Mostly 30FPS. There are a few dips in combat but it's hard to notice with everything else going on.

Also anyone got their road trip code from amazon yet? It says it emailed me the codes, but I've been waiting for 20 minutes and nothing is showing up in my email...

Can someone explain, in detail, how to make magic? I'm juuuust starting the game and I tried to make a spell and for whatever retarded reason I can't get it to work. I select the spell component (ice) at like 1x, any random thing in the bottom slot (a potion, say) and then.... what? None of the buttons seem to actually create it. I have a free slot so I don't know wtf.

You select an empty slot, press l1/r1? to fill it up, then move the cursor down to Craft. It's really obtuse and not obvious, but I eventually figured it out even drunk.

I was able to obtain the dlc minus the jacket, chocobo car, and leviathan car. When do you think those are going on sale? A month from now?

I must say, I wish they'd made the DLC sword a skin or something instead of a weapon that is completely and utterly outclassed by a sword you find on the ground in the first 30 minutes of the game, because it looks pretty neat.

What weapon would that be?

SquirrelGrip posted:

ok wtf

wait mode has special upgrades?

There is literally an upgrade that keeps the wait mode timer from depleting at all, making it a true pause, not just a timed pause.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:

Blade of Brennaere, it's a greatsword with bonus fire damage and does like 70 more base damage than the Masamune on top of that. You can find it pretty much right away, and the treasures seemingly respawn over time because I went back and found a second one in the same spot later on.

I mean I'm used to pre-order weapons being outclassed, but usually they last a little longer than that. Oh well, I mostly just think it looks way cooler.

Huh, I found one up in the alcove of destroyed buildings in the first map, and I gave it to Gladlios without even looking at the stats xD

My god the loading for everything you do in this game is unbearable. I guess it's because I'm a member of PCMR and haven't touched a console in a year, but this loading sucks.

Yeah.... I'm debating getting an SSD instead of my 2TB in the old PS4 because these loading times are terrible. Another thing is just not doing fast travel which will trigger a loading screen...

8-bit Miniboss posted:

Oh, regarding the Road Trip DLC stuff that's not the weapons. They're key items. It's 50% off coupons for gas and lodgings (dunno if they're one time use) and a better camera for Prompto from what I can tell.

They're not one time use.

Better fishing rods and some extra lures, a "better" camera that drops a blue filter on everything, some key items which are handy, and some cooking ingredients so you don't have to buy them at first.

It's really obvious all the shortcuts they took to give the game a manageable frame rate. Characters' hair looks like it's partly trapped in the Phantom Zone. Shadows are messy. Aliasing is all over the place. The pop-in is bad enough to make distant textures look PSX quality.

Some of this might be alleviated in a future PC release, but I'm not letting it get to me for the time being.

Yeah the draw distance for shadows is way too low, once you notice its bad.

Sick shot.

Then I activated wait timer and I somehow spawned a loving lvl 15 Cactaur. He dodge a whole lot, but it seems this one doesn't just immediately run away, he's just a bitch to hit, even warp strike half the time he dodges.

Killed him though, for a 5000xp boost. Holy poo poo that rules.

I just killed a 29 scorpion at lv12 by making a bunch of quad cast blizzara. It would one shot me if it touched me, but quad cast would deal like 30% dmg to him

So I collected 46000xp, then stayed in the quay for free (end of chapter 1 bonus) for enough xp to level to 32 at the start of chapter 2. About 18 hours in. Do you think I'm overleveled? :v:

Also if I hadn't watched Kingsglaive before playing this game, the cutscenes would not have helped. Who was King Regis? Who were the people in the cutscene? What was going on? Was it a dream? Who knows! But Gladios was able to get in touch with his sister, whoever that is (if you hadn't watched Brotherhood...)

In any case, I'm horribly overleveled now xD
