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.

I think Prompto's a "vegan" who's always horking down a hot dog when he thinks nobody's looking.

This month's challenge: Mineside Mischief Makers. These goblins might be a tough battle, but the harder part is finding them at night! If you succeed take a photo of the victory (include the weapon in the shot to confirm you didn't use a Summon: Genie) and mail it to:

If you had told Ignis you'll drive, you get manual control for a little bit until he says "hold off until you know the area better". If you tell him to drive you can't manual at all. In either case you get control back around chapter 3.

Every group of friends has a Prompto. In my clique it was Dave, a bit more hyper than the rest of us, constantly quoting Beavis and Butthead and super into things the rest of us weren't, but he was just as much a part of the team as the rest of us even if he'd rather watch wrestling than play D&D.

E: If you don't know who the Prompto is in your group, it's you.

the longer and more frequent the episodes are, the sooner we'll get to see you guys experience your character arcs where you grow to love Prompto

Were we ever given a reason for Milfheim invading Insomnia or is that yet to be revealed? Are the Milfs just a regular old Final Fantasy evil empire?

(only watched the videos so far and paused on some loredump screens)
It appears they were trying to get their hands on a ring and a crystal. The Crystal is the source of the kingdom's magical strength, and is channeled through the Ring of the Lucii. The Empire now holds the crystal in Insomnia, but Lunafreya smuggled the ring out of the city, and has power of her own because she's the Oracle (basically a Summoner, assuming the six gods mentioned are summons) and uses her position to get her kingdom some autonomy despite it being in the grip of the Empire. She's a fugitive now of course.

As for why the Emperor wants those things, it looks like the nights (which is when daemons attack) are getting longer due to some somethingorother-pox. There's a legend that the gods can hold that back, so maybe he wants the ring to somehow awaken them (good intentions, brutal methods) or, more likely because this isn't a Tactics game so people aren't allowed nuance, he wants its power to kill the gods because he's batshit evil.

I guess that might be true. I grew up taking the ferry to Denmark for holidays or getting on one to get to islands just of the coast, so I never thought about them not being common

I know Seattle has them, it's got some islands and peninsulas and such that make them useful. I assume the Great Lakes area and a couple of spots in California have them, but other than that most of America's geography doesn't have places people need to cross in a car without it being convenient to drive around it or build a bridge.

When was it mentioned that the nights were longer? I'm in the middle of chapter 3 and I don't think I've heard a single reference to this.

Second video, the portrait loredumps at the beginning. Looks like I just assumed that the nights getting longer (mentioned in the last part of the fourth painting) was because of the Starscourge (mentioned in the first part of the second painting) but that is not (yet) claimed in-game.

Here's my state fair story: I went to the Vermont state fair when I was 3 years old, I was at the petting zoo and wanted to pet this duck 'cause it's fluffy, you know, and I was leaning over and it loving pecked me literally about a centimeter above my right eye as hard as it could. It probably would have blinded me had it been any closer. gently caress ducks. Ducks are loving evil pieces of poo poo.

You think ducks are bad? Ducks will fight back if you crowd them, but geese are aggressively territorial bastards. My hometown had an artificial pond that was owned by the geese, we couldn't shift them for preservation reasons, they crapped everywhere (I think ducks crap in the water while geese crap out of it), and would attack anyone who stood still for more than five seconds.

And does the US not have caravans?

If you mean big live-in vans that are a step below a mobile home and used for camping, we call them RVs. If you mean a group of vehicles traveling together, we tend to call it a convoy.

This is what happens when japanese people make a game in japanese where one of the selling points is super realistic/detailed lip movement to match the lines and really specific cutscene timing that fits a language with very different word lengths from english, then they pay 10 dollars for americans to try and force in their gaijin-babble like a square peg into this round hole instead of bothering to change the game at all.

FFX had the exact same problem, which lead to all kinds of hosed dialogue like tidus saying half of a line really slow and then talkingreallyfastlikethis in the second half to try and even sorta match the jp timing.

What an rear end in a top hat.

Look, "get the prince out of town before we're hit by an invasion I can't stop" is a good plan but id doesn't work if when the attack hits the prince is on a boat headed straight for a friendly but Imperial-controlled city. Better if they're at a remote mechanic run by an old and trusted friend.

After the Titan scene they escaped with the Imperials, then [???] and one scene cut later they were stuck without their car by the chocobo racetrack. They had to go around and get Ramuh's favor in order to trip a flag that told them where the car was.

Should've killed Noctis and had Lunafreya gain his powers due to <insert mystic technobabble here, you're writing the fantasy world so don't give me any "that wouldn't work">. Then she gets some protagonist makeover a la FF9 Garnet's hair thing and takes over to finish the job. Transition from the first half of the game's just getting bounced around to an actual plot goal, you get a character death that affects relationships we've *seen*, I think it'd hang together tighter all around.

I think this game is like a centrifuge for FF fans in that it separates those who enjoyed previous games in the series because they were good, and those who mostly lap it up just because of the name Final Fantasy. I appreciate that this game did real time combat and has an open world, since I think menu-based combat was getting stale, but god this game is a mess. I'm hoping that if there's ever another Final Fantasy game that maybe it might go into the hands of designers who know what they are doing.

I am embarrassed because I was just following the LP (don't have a PS4) and this game sold me in the beginning so I was talking excitedly about it. Then the bottom fell out, but some of my friends have picked it up. I'm not sure whether to give them a heads up that it gets worse, or just let them get angry at me later in the hopes that without my negative opinions they'll still enjoy it.
