Tabata has gone on record of saying that when he first started work on the game he absolutely hated Noctis because there was no character there at all, and one of his big goals was to make Noctis relatable.

Smart move: remember how many people dropped FFXII because Vaan was an annoying twerp?

Edit: Justice Monsters Five is up on the Play Store, assume the same is true for the iOS App Store.

You don't have to go far to see that *stares meaningfully at No Man's Sky thread*

If FFXV removes half of what they've been advertising, I'll grab the pitchforks and join GameFAQs. (Actually, I can't even say that in jest, the internet rage mobs are insane. I'll just be quietly sad that another FF game sucks and go play something else like I did when XIII released.)

I don't consider that likely, though. No Man's Sky was one hell of a bait and switch.

I think I'm the only person in this thread who liked XIII.

I didn't see any trailers, avoided everything for the entire marketing campaign. This was only because I was in a phase of just not caring about video games so I didn't seek anything out.

Then I bought it at Kmart during the last time they actually sold video games...and then I liked it. :v:

Am I broken?

Nah, the Final Fantasy main thread is full of weirdos people like you. :)

You forgot?????

Have you played Rygar? It's not exactly complicated. And battery-backed save files on a cartridge weren't the norm yet - all 3 Super Mario games didn't save. Megaman had passwords, as did Metroid.

Is that demo going to be made available for us PlayStation accounts? It looks like it would be fun but I don't have time to jump through the hoops to set up a japan account.

There are no hoops. You create the account right on your PS4 and click a link in an email.

Here's how to create a Japanese PSN ID in 60 seconds - if you don't have time to make one, you don't have time to play the demo.

I'm probably biased because I've never been a huge FF fan so I can't sympathize with the outrage of those for whom the franchise is dear. But at face value XV just feels like a really cool game I can have a good time with to me.

FF fans are salty they haven't gotten a full main series game since 2010, so they're split on this one. Some want it to be more like XIII and they're disappointed (these people are crazy,) some people want to see a trainwreck on the same scale as XIII (these people are nuts,) and some of us just want to have a fun time with a cool video game (hi.)

I hope that's not how it's really pronounced. Otherwise I'll feel really stupid and I'll be mad because that pronunciation sounds stupid.

It is stupid. Japanese is actually simpler to figure out pronunciation for than English, the vowels follow rules and don't really surprise you. "Cho-koh-boh"

It's pronounced "Wark" :colbert:

Holy poo poo, people talking up Spirits Within. :psyduck: I'm starting to believe the guys who say 2016 is the result of time travelers trying to fix things and making a mess of them.

Your time is more valuable than that. Hey, if you liked Harry Potter, go see Fantastic Beasts, it's got a comprehensible plot and way better CG!

Is there a downside to having wait mode active, or is it essentially a "you're an idiot if you don't turn this on" thing?

Wait mode in this is most analogous to VATS

Not sure what you mean by "attack again."

People: hold down the attack button AND the defensive stance button. Your Finesse scores will improve, and you'll get more Link attacks.

You know, the low-quality in-game models are really lovely, and the game has a really bad habit of zooming way into them.
The high-quality cutscene models, though, are really great.

I think I'm running out of things to do in Chapter 3 and may be time to move on. I think I can hit 45 with the banked XP I have right now. All I have left to do is the Malmalam Thicket and whatever bounties I can do and not get killed (I still suck at this combat system)

There's very little you CAN'T do in Chapter 3, from what I've gathered. Anyone able to help fill the list? (Putting in spoiler tags to stay on the safe side)

Vesperpool Bay
Altissa hunts
Adamantoise/that other boss?
Sealed dungeons
Imperial base items (like the sniper rifle and Prompto tools)

Hey so about the ending of the game... Is this like the end of the Batman trilogy where we just kinda make up our own minds as to whether it's real or not or is that definitely the thing that's really happening? I went with the former.

Alright, that's all the hunts completed. Two more menace dungeons and I'll have basically done everything. Game has me logged at 150 hours so far.

I don't think I've ever played a Final Fantasy to excess like this before. If this game's story were better it'd easily be one of the best of the series. Still good as hell as it stands.

Yeah, I've been telling people this game is an 11/10! ... Minus two. If it were the game it's telling you it is, and if the open world segments continued throughout... :aaa:
