Has anyone seen their companions use magic? I've equipped them but so far no dice.

Question: I'm on chapter 10.

Is there open world stuff basically done? Do I always have to use umbra to go back in time?

Man I'm really confused then but I guess it'll sort itself out.

The choice of FF14 tracks was really pathetic too. That was a big let down.

Finishing up the game now and this whole time I'm just having Xenogears PTSD flashbacks to my childhood years. Such a weird late game.

Confession: I feel real dumb for only now realizing that you can hard lock in combat by pushing the map button...

I think they should have started everyone in Wait mode because Libra is really handy and it's the only way to get a good sense of the tactical side of combat.

What exactly constitutes tactical combat in FF15?

Have I always had Libra Elementia on Ignis cause I don't remember ever seeing it.

Chapter 13's terribleness was vastly overstated, at least compared to other JRPGs. It is certainly a bad chapter but not like "jfc uninstalling" bad.

Anyway I had a question going into chapter 14: was I supposed to recognize the names that Ardyn drops? He dropped his full name which I sorta recognized but everything was moving p fast. I didn't recognize the other.

Man the Titan animation is really bad compared to the other summons.

Press square/X when the weapon is equipped. Still it's dumb that you can't preview it from the weapons list.

I think it's R3 or L3 to compare weapons which will show you the weapon graphic.

I think l1+r1 to activate Goku mode is the hardest for me. I have to hit it a couple times for it to finally stick instead of bringing up the tech menu. I think a control type change would fix this maybe but I don't feel like changing after 50 hours.

Do the super weapons just laying around on the ground in the post game get marked as procurement points or do you just look them up?

Not talking about the legendary quest weapons here. Just collecting stuff.

Is the game running significantly better on a PS4 pro such that it's worth the upgrade? I mainly game on Pc so the PS4 version I'm running is underwhelming to me. I have a 4K tv.
The games a lot prettier but I'm really glad I didn't buy a pro just for ff15 myself.

I thought the base ps4 performance was quite great.

Hold back on the stick with daggers and do a blind strike I think. Oh wow that video has it without a blind strike, I'd be curious then too!

The tonberry post game boss is hilarious.

Having to redo colour customizations when switching outfits is my biggest problem with Comrades, so far. It has a lot of small annoyances but mostly ones that exist in the base game, like kicking in and out of menus when talking to people and the weird wait times when doing stuff like that.

Isn't that what the avatar list is for? I haven't messed with it too much but I think you can swap around to avatars like they are outfit slots.

Looks like switching avatars does reset your level back to 1. I thought you could use them as outfit slots to get around that problem but seems not.

This mode is a lot of fun but I echo the many little complaints sentiment.

Biggest pet peeves is the disconnects that happen inevitably and you need to go all the way out to the menu to reconnect. It's about a 5 minute process of load screens, oof.

So far I've only had the game crash twice. These, by the way, are the only crashes that I've experienced while playing anything in FFXV.

That out of the way, I really like Comrades. Didn't think I would, but it's actually really fun and a nice narrative tie-in. I also appreciate that you don't have to be online to complete it. I don't play many games online and it's really welcoming.

Out of curiosity were you able to play without psn+?

No monsters are spawning for me in Comrades. I guess this is a good ending.
That's by far the worst bug. It happens in quite a few missions and I'm not sure I believe the you gotta run somewhere to trigger em. It just seems like something desyncs.

The worst is when like the lobby, er, "camp" lags and everyone gets stuck there until the person in question times out and is replaced by an AI.

Anyway this mode seems incomplete. There's no way all the sigils can be in the game unless the map expands somehow.
