I am very confident it will come to PC, but not for at least six months. I'm guessing within 12 months.

My confidence is based on nothing except for the fact that all the other numbered ffs are on pc

I reckon 12 months based on nothing.

I got lucky and did a walk up pre-order in December 2020 and got it first week of Jan. They stopped doing walk up orders right after I got mine, presumably because it was too easy to get a PS5 that way versus pressing F5 for 20 hours a day.

They're really showing heaps of this game. I like that approach but I also feel like this is a lot more than other titles. Seems like absolute faith in the product. I'm so pumped for it.

I am absolutely here for the Japanese game of thrones melodrama. Everything I've heard about the first few hours sounds really good. Can't wait to play the demo whenever that happens.

I haven't pre-ordered the game because there doesn't seem to be any benefit. I'll probably preorder it for preload later.

I want there to be the dumbest, story-derailing twist 70% through. It’s all aliens. Clive is his own grandfather. Valisthea is actually the moon and the moon is the real planet with an ultra-future civilization. Idc

I feel like this is going to happen because they've shown so much footage of what you'd think were bosses through the entire game. Surely it's going to go wild for the final act/s.

I switched from graphics to frame rate after the first bunch of cutscenes. Very noticeable difference in image quality and it seemed to make animations look really weird at times. The frame rate also judders a lot in performance and makes me wonder if just sucking it up and playing 30fps with nicer image quality is the way to go. Not sure if the animation thing is real or imagined since I'd only done a little walking before switching.

It’s real imo. I normally really notice 30 vs 60, but 30 felt better in this game than most. There is probably some voodoo going on.

It seems to go super hard on blur with no way to turn it off, making me think 30 is just the way to go. Maybe put it on performance for a second run to get high scores when the game is patched up idk.

I'm honestly surprised at how excited I am for this game. When it was first announced, I completely wrote it off. I believed Square didn't have it in them to not make a new final fantasy to get excited about after the awfulness of 13 and 15.



15 is good though. 13 is surprisingly nice to play now as well. The entire game is handmade and beautiful versus the way games are made now with open world everything, reused assets and poo poo menus. It's really refreshing.

The main character we are supposed to like is a highborn pretty boy who gets handed everything and is part of an aristocracy that upholds slavery. Hopefully something happens to knock him down a few pegs or he gets immensely more likeable.

He has the tattoo on his face that indicates the general public is allowed to poo poo on you, is that enough?

Can anyone give a summary of the differences between the difficulty levels? What's "Final Fantasy" mode exactly?

Story: starts with the assist items equipped to give you auto dodge etc

Action: standard mode, no assist items equipped but they are still in your inventory if you want them

Final Fantasy: NG+ higher difficulty like FF7R hard mode. It remixes a lot tho and even has higher levels and new stuff to get.

Using R1 to dodge is going to take some getting used to, but I always use the recommended config because I believe that devs do this for a reason and I have faith in Suzuki having configured the game's controls for reasons that will reveal themselves.

I prefer quality despite the blur. Performance feels like it's constantly hitching and uneven. Turning off blur on graphics mode will be perfect, it's very steady.

I only got annoyed by one thing last night. I made a weapon at the blacksmith and upgraded it, but making the weapon cost me the material I needed to upgrade a second time. Then I found the base weapon at the shop that I could have bought and upgraded fully. So I guess I need to check both before I make choices.

Sakurazuka posted:

From what I can tell making a weapon at the blacksmith always starts at +1 whereas the shop has the base version so it always uses the same amount of materials whichever way you do it? I guess it's just so if you don't have the mats you can just buy a basic shop version.

Nah I needed a monster mane for +2 and not to +1 a bought weapon. Making the weapon at the blacksmith at +1 cost me the mane, so I didn't have it for +2.

Also what's the deal with getting a boss weapon that's outclassed by other junk you can just make in the blacksmith? Do weapons have some secret number I'm not noticing or just what's on the pane when you buy?

Maybe I'm MMO-pilled but I've enjoyed the side quests. For me, I use those as a moment to just chill and immerse myself in the world. A little peek into the rest of the world.

I like them too. The game is beautiful so it's just a chance to look at stuff on the way.

Do I need to go back to the hunt board to see where they are? I got a quest to hunt a specific thing and I checked the hunt board, but the quest doesn't update and I can't find the location of the monster...
