I've heard FF15 described as the definitive boy band road trip reunion tour experience.

But I never thought that it would be the T40s reunion tour game :unsmith:

This game looks so weird to play. I played a couple Tales games back in the day and the later Star Ocean games and FF15 is aping them but it seems so clustered and claustrophobic. Having not played obviously I can't tell from most of the game seen thus far in the LP but it doesn't seem you can do much about enemies that attack you off-screen. There doesn't seem to be hitstun on any enemies and a lot of this seems left to chance. If someone who is good at this game is reading I am curious what the mechanics are to not getting hit a lot in this game.

Also god the world is really empty so far. Hope you get a method to move around faster later.

Re frozen pizza preferences for the boys: Noctis likes Digiorno, Ignis likes California Pizza Kitchen, Gladiolus likes Red Baron, Prompto only eats pizza rolls that have been on the floor.

I actually feel that Ignis would be the Freschetta's guy. Gladio could be Red Baron.

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.

A spoiler lurks within

That is a spoiler I hope Kuvo & topikal never see. This LP is non-stop laughs and that would be just amazing.

FFXV went all-out with pre-order dlc, but also spread it out really weirdly. No retailer or store sold the game with all possible pre-order dlc, not even the Ultimate edition on Squeenix's online shop.

There is some character growth but not an amazing amount, and certainly nothing you wouldn't expect. This game is basically you listening in on a roadtrip between 4 idiot friends. Oh and there's your standard FF plot about magic and evil empires stapled on too. Kind of clashes with the whole roadtrip part honestly. Its not apparent yet, but eventually this game starts telling two stories that mesh together really poorly.

not to fill up this page with a million replies but do you guys like the longer episodes or should we try to keep them sub 30min?

Oh please, there can never be enough of you two playing FF15. Longer videos are GOOD for this, this is non-stop laughs. When you get to start driving I can only imagine this taking off more :v:

As long as you get a FAQ-map for all those arbitrary "look around this circle for our glowing dot" jobs all is good.

I have a question.

In the lead up to the game's release, summons were shown off, and there was a magazine talking about the 6 of them in one of the earlier videos. When is the earliest we get to see these crazy summons?

You obtain the first in the next chapter, iirc, not too much more plot progress but potentially a while if they keep mucking around in the open world. As for actually using them in battle, though, you can't use them at will and they're kind of fickle about appearing. I can't remember where the first scripted summon is.

:lol: so every summon is Gilgamesh/Odin? Nice.
