Roflan posted:I've barely been following the game but isn't food a pretty big mechanic in the game? Like you have to eat for various buffs? You are encouraged to regularly make camp which gives your anime butler a chance to cook food for buffs yes.

I found the combat in the old demo pretty cool, little getting used to but the ability to switch weapons fluidly for different attacks was cool

TG-Chrono posted:Can someone put up a screenie of that analysis and what it means? Haven't had more than 2 seconds of seeing the weakness graph. Can't screenshot atm, it's a box about the enemy, each damage type (both weapon type and Magic type) is a square in a row. Purple and a down arrow on the box is Resistance, Orange and an up arrow is Vulnerable, White and no arrow = neutral.

Feenix posted:Finesse in combat is confusing to me. Sometimes I get high marks, but not when I feel like I did awesome. When I do awesome, I get like, a D. Finesse is based on number of good dodges/parries from my experience (maybe back attacks too), so if you do really well and stuff ends quickly, you don't get enough prompts to set it up.

So having finished the game, a question: So was Ardyn a good person/saved the world at one point who just got hosed over by the gods/a Jealous king? Is what he actually did ever explained more in side stuff? That combined with the fact Noct basically has to die to save the world makes the gods kinda assholes?

The Grimace posted:More post-game spoilers: The way I understand it, Noctis's ancestor was the good king and Ardyn was that king's brother. The Crystal chose Noctis's ancestor while shunning Ardyn, cursing him for the darkness in his heart. Ardyn was filled with rage and began planning rebellion in various ways as time passed. In Ardyn's mind, he feels he was the one who was wronged, though it's subject to interpretation. The problem is "The Darkness in his heart" in this context appears to be all the demons he selflessly absorbed from other people, Bahamut seemed to basically confirm that. Of course he's been warped by eternity into a twisted S.O.B but I'm very curious about how this all started

Oxxidation posted:I went "gently caress it" and went on a spoiler binge and yeah, this is no good. Most of the villains are never actually encountered by the party? One of them never even shows up past the introductory cutscene? Dear oh dear oh dear. Okay so: (spoilers throughout the game and Kinda general Rambling talk0 Out of the Evil General crew you: Chase the Snooty General Guy Fight the Mercenary Once then she turns good Ardyn is the Final Boss The Emperor is a Trash mob Ravus only fights you after he dies, and was good the whole time Realistically all of this was sacrificed to the alter of the "Path of the King"/Brotherhood story they really wanted to focus on, like we can see the change from the original Verses XIII where Ardyn gets your powers (instead of the character that became Luna) in a fight that while cool isn't really built up as your dark mirror Well enough. They set up so many elements, gods, demons, The Empire, The History of the King, the Backstory of Demons, The Lineage of kings... all these very big high concept elements that we end up knocking through super quickly because we don't have the time/money to explore them all. Luna's death especially feels back solved as a necessity because Noctis will die so they both need to die to be happy. The 10 year time skip is so we can setup the climactic battle for the world without having to actually set anything up, same for almost every time skip that we get. What is Noct's journey? He starts out Disinterested/going along with it, then get's mad, then gets sad when Luna dies, then becomes the generic self sacrificing. Because of all of this and the Fatalism, especially Ardyn's backstory the world seems cruel, People do heroic things and get to heroically Die, from Nyx to Regis to Ardyn (if we take his backstory literally) to Noct, even the friends die if we take the scene in the astral literally. I still enjoyed it all but god it's tied together by ducktape. Sorry it's kind of disjointed i'm just, hitting points that Came into my mind

ImpAtom posted:Yes. They did not make Chapter 13 bad as some sort of weird meta joke. What is really wierd about it is The previous stealth segments were pretty laid back and you could do more than hide in crawlspaces, like a kinda spooks chapter where you just hid alot and moved around a kinda set path would have worked with what they were going for instead of gently caress up stealth and holy 10 times to kill a dude

Tae posted:Anybody that wants a quick look at the versus13->ff15 announcement trailer, how much actually made it in? Not a lot, the concepts changed heavily (the kingdom became less mafioso and more generic fantasy kingdom, there are more crystals and the fight with Leviathan is far more advanced in the video (though that has been a constant in every trailer that shows it off). Fighting is quite a bit more dynamic in the trailer both with vertical movement and with the way you dodge. There is also this wierd theme in that trailer and earlier ones About Noctis rejecting the fate laid out for him, when in the current game everyone is pretty much on the 100% Fate train

mikeraskol posted:Yeah A and B were basically the point I was making. The whole plot structure is just totally ridiculous and feels like they ran out of time and had just just go "ok what can we do with the scenes we have." I like this game but jesus christ. I still have no clue why I was on the train, why we stopped where we did or why I'm in this loving mine after just going super saiyan and battling Leviathan. There was a kings arm there and you do still wanna catch em all

Grizzled Patriarch posted:It's kinda odd that you can beat the game without actually collecting them all. Like I think if you skip the optional ones you can go into the final battle with just 4 of 'em. Feels weird given how much their importance is stressed early on and how many missions there are based around them. Yeah, the other issue is that some of them are behind level 50 fights, which is just past what the enemies on the way to the final battle are Just another thing to add to the "No Follow through" Pile Stormgale fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Dec 4, 2016 |

I said come in! posted:Well it sure isn't a positive ending and it leaves itself open to a million different interpretations. If The others die fighting the demons like the fact they appear in the Astral realm (with Luna and Regis who are Dead) implies, it's about sacrficing yourself to save the world not a hopeless ending, by the rules and morals of the game world this is a noble and Moral act, not a depressing one

Unfortunately, you don;t get the skill until you fight the Marlboro in the mines.

Oxxidation posted:Ardyn's plan is one of those "heads I win, tails you lose" deals. Either he gains UNLIMITED COSMIC POWER and gets to lord it over creation, or he exterminates the hated regal line forever and is finally able to die on top of it. He also Depending on how you interpet the Darkness on his soul line, was a very good person once who just got hosed over by absorbing demons and going basically insane from that + immortality + being betrayed + never being able to reach heaven

Spermando posted:Question about the final battle. Who are the four dead people hung up in the throne room? I think they're Luna, Regis, the Emperor, and someone else. Is it Jared? Cause that would be appropriate. Last one is Nyx Ulric, Protagonist of the kingsglaive film who basically got a temporary blessing of the chosen to defend insomnia from demons and kill the cool knight looking general who I was looking forward to fighting

Nina posted:My assumption is that Ardyn is straight up lying about the injustices he faced. He was an overthrown ruler so who's to say he wasn't a total tyrant with or without heavy exposure to the magic-microbes that cause daemon transformation. I kinda disagree because Bahamut practically backs up what Ardyn says, at least with the fact that his soul was so corrupted by demons he couldn't enter the afterlife period. I mean Ardyn loses a lot of his charm if he was just always evil, more than a dark reflection of what a king could become if they failed/strayed from the path.
