One night my roommate and I had a drinking game playing this where we take a drink every time we hit X and jump like an idiot instead of talking/interacting with an intended prompt.

We didn't last very long.

When your boy band is on the go, be sure to send them off with Coleman brand camping equipment. Coleman: We paid out the rear end for this brand deal.

I posed this question to topikal after the recording: Which company approached the other for the endorsement deal?

1) The problem you're having with block/parry seems to be - slight guesswork, but - you're tapping the block button instead of holding it. The prompt just means someone is targeting you with a parryable attack; you need to be holding block if/when that attack connects to get the parry prompt. Generally, you want to be going for spot dodges (tap dodge at the last second) on everything except parryable attacks, especially once you upgrade the dodge a bit.

2) Prompto is taking lovely blown-out photos because the thing you changed from "Random" to "Often" is his lovely overexposure filter, not the actual frequency of photos. You will get more filters as he levels up in Photography, and you'll probably want to turn all of these filters off or make them infrequent because most of them suck (IMO, YMMV).

Also now that you guys have looked around the not-sphere grid for awhile, grab Ignis's skill Regroup when you can, it's under the Techniques tab and probably the most useful tech in the game.

One more for the "things the game doesn't tell you" train of advice: Hitting down on the d-pad while music's playing enables shuffle.

I think someone mentioned in the thread already, but the game doesn't tell you that re-pressing the sprint button right near when the bar runs out also refills it completely, signified by Noctis flashing green. Also, when you're sprinting the stamina meter automatically refills when you sprint into a waist-high hoppable obstacle like fences and certain rocks, so you can look out for those to keep your stride going.

quoting these so i can remember them before we record next time

also i screwed around with the h264 encoding settings so this next batch of videos should look better

When the FFXIV staff reshuffle happened, the original Producer of FFXIV (Hiromichi Tanaka) was forced out of the company and the original director (Nobuaki Komoto) was demoted to lead designer position for A Realm Reborn. I think Naoki Yoshida did a good job in restructuring the team in that he had people take on more specialist roles and created new positions which weren't there before.

Yoshida's restructuring of FF14 into ARR is nothing short of a miracle

i love that a major plot point, the adryn/prompto body switch that makes him fall off the train, happens during an 180° A/B camera jump cut thats up for less than a second

why is the editing so bad you second guess at what happens? why would you not milk this scene for easy drama? the entire thing is story boarded like poo poo

Ardyn was making Noct see Prompto as Ardyn the moment the time stop thing happened, hence all "Why are you trying to hurt me, dude?" from Ardyn.

that makes more sense but 1) the way prompto acts waking noctis up (at ~7:50) is out of character for someone who was just attacked and 2) the whole shoving sequence was still poorly edited
