Also just wanted to say I'm excited to see the amount of alcohol intake during the last half of this game. Should be one for the books.

Is using imperial units for distance a localisation change, or a flavour decision?

Localisation, they're metric in Japan (but not Europe or Australia because, uh, gently caress you).

Unlike area search quests, I find that hunts tend to be pretty close to the marker, I'm not sure what the coloured radius is actually for.

Did you guys know that the former director Nomura after watching the "Les Miserables" movie wanted to make a musical out of this game?
Square Enix couldn't shoot him down fast enough.

I've heard that he came up with that fairly late into development, too. Nomura is a lovely director.

I like to think the in-game justification is the same for the money.

Prompto seems exactly like the guy who would suggest he eat something gross, have the entire group tell him not to, then eat it while going "haha I can't believe you guys are making me do this we're such a crazy group"

I kinda love the feel of this game, but that's because I grew up in that sort of area and it's hammering me hard in the nostalgia. We didn't look like a boy band, though, and I can't recall anyone dressed like Cindy. When you make Daisy Duke look conservatively dressed, I think I'd remember it.

Noctis seems like he'd eat whatever everyone else agreed to eat because he's a chill friend-leader. Ignis is the biggest food snob of the group, but he'd never order anything that Noctis hates, because he's Noctis' butler. Gladiolus likes stuff with tons of protein and the occasional tasty junk food on his cheat day, because he crossfits. Prompto likes total trash garbage food.

Prompto's a kinda guy that does poo poo that makes you think 'That boy ain't right.' Eating oranges without peeling them, trying to take pictures on the roof of a car, trying to shoot a bear with a bottle rocket that he's holding in his gun. Just the dumbest poo poo.

Anyway, not that sidequests aren't interesting, but I do wanna hype up the game a little bit. Spoilers if you haven't seen the trailer for the game back in March.

I thought that it was kind of funny when you guys figured out the clothing change stuff, the original "the crow" all-black outfits were described as fatigues. As in, that was a military uniform some organization decided best represented their country and soldiers. I'm surprised the King isn't the lead singer of Linkin Park at this rate.

That's literally what it is, though? Gladio said something... before they got to their first campsite, i think, that remarks that the all black jackets and stuff is the Kingsguard uniform.

I think Scaramouche is just trying to point out how ridiculous it is that the game thinks it can pass off black leather and jeans as the official military uniform.

Yeah, after that happened to me I got a lot more cautious about when I did things. (No, Gladio, it ISN'T a bit early to turn in. Not when lv30 Iron Giants are out there waiting to paste our lv5 asses in one swing)

Yeah this, and that it was barely uniform between characters. The muscle guy had just a vest and the twitchy guy had weird pants with no ankle. And that somehow this was a uniform passed down from on high, and what you can extrapolate about the organization that requires such a uniform. Which ends in the King being the lead singer from Linkin Park, or possibly Korn.

The only thing that saved them from this happening is that I'm pretty sure that when a hunt is active, all other monsters in the designated area clear out.

They definitely coulda ran into something bad during their run back to town though.

Can't wait you guys to get the reward for when you finish the map subquest, and put the map pieces you get to find another map.

Then find its a matryoshka doll.

Of course the final quest is to find all halves of it spread over the whole county.

e: Also, enjoy trying to remember which of the 12 menus a certain feature is on! You can summon the car (or more usefully teleport to the car), but its in the map menu (R3). Then there's the options menu, which only have some options on the options button. There's the R2 menu to use items. Then there's the main menu, which is meaningless beyond equipping poo poo and the Sphere Grid.

It could use some work but I think FFXV's menu interfaces are fine, though it definitely could do a better job of telling you in what menu you can find certain things. Coming off of Xenoblade Chronicle X's awful, awful, awful menus (pretty good game otherwise) I'm not complaining much.
