Filler is badass hope the game will slow down a bit now that i'm through what seems to have been basically the "first chapter" of the story.

Captain Oblivious posted:I both do and do not feel like the game is too easy rn. The boss fights seem reasonable! But everything that is not a boss is basically just practice where you style on them effortlessly. Such is how random battle in an rpg go.

Paul Zuvella posted:I’m very confused about this early plot stuff. Demo through the sections just after the end of the demo spoilers. The scene we saw of Ifrit and Phoenix fighting was secretly Torgal vision. It has the same blurry filter of other times we see from Torgal's perspective, notably in the Benedikta fight if you want an example. And if you recall we start seeing that scene when Torgal's barks rouse Clive's conciousness. The game is pulling a little trick and changing our perspective without our knowledge to deepen the mystery but alas, twas Clive himself who was the beast.

They are just copying FF7(R) by locking off hard mode which is the greatest so who can blame them?

Its FFX style. But with some boring ffxii zones.

Hooded Man is a really cool dude huh? Also can't believe they did a (End of Oriflamme spoiler) "five years later" what a move from the game. Anyway, from trailers and everything I was expecting the game to feel like a Matsuno FF when honestly i'm kinda getting the opposite vibes from it now. The political drama hasn't been hitting at all but the character drama is very fun and all the magic and fantasy stuff always lands.

Jetrauben posted:I recall a fair bit of irritation about how bro-y the game presented itself as. Of course, it's also SoP, which is just a wild and weird game in general, so I expect at least some of it is literally just having to play Jack. I'm glad we've all come around on Lightning.

It’s an occasional FF tradition and I was happy to see it. Now game just needs to introduce a Biggs and a Wedge but I can’t see it happening

Been saying ever since it was revealed as an action rpg that this was just going to be a kingdom hearts.

Clive is a sweet lad with excellent VA. He is a solid video game protagonist.

Still mid-game so sort of expecting this to change but wish I found Clive's mum more exciting a character. She's like the only person politically scheming in the entire story which the game needs more of but she's very hard to take seriously.

Oxxidation posted:I’ve made it a fair ways past that bit and I’m hoping it’s the nadir pacing-wise. it’d be hard for it not to be, those two story quests chains are somehow even more inane than soup delivery and they roadblock you from a place you very much want to go Soup delivery was good tbh.

People were really making GBS threads on the mid quests but when I actually got to them they're like "spend some time hanging out with Gav" and that's very cool obviously and one of the better uses of sidequest time imo. They should just give you all 3 at the beginning instead of having to run back each time to get the next one.
