Yeah. So you're hunting for the chocobo, and once you take a picture of it, you can either continue down towards the larger opening where the boss battle was, or you can turn around and go back the way you came from. Otherwise, this happens:

and you can't turn back around because the ledge leading back up is too high. So you have to load a save

Positive Touch · « **Reply #421 on:** December 10, 2016, 10:20:57 AM »

ouch. glad I just turned around. this game feels like a damn Bethesda game with how many bugs are in it tbh

Beezy · « **Reply #422 on:** December 10, 2016, 10:33:06 AM »

Weird. Did you originally go down and open that path after beating Deadeye?

I turned back after that chocobo quest also.

Yeah I turned around to get back to the regalia faster, thats a shitty bug

Sold the Deluxe Edition DLC for $40 jajaja

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #425 on:** December 10, 2016, 03:06:04 PM »

Last few chapters weren't great, first half of Chapter 13 was borderline trash-tier. But outside the last few hours, FF15 was a pretty great game, don't regret playing it at all. And I'm really looking forward to the DLC, and whatever fixes they have planned.

Also, for real, does Japan not have more than one archetype for all it's anime and JRPG villains? Ardyn might as well have just been a copy/paste of a villain I've seen at least a hundred times before.

is there ever any use for the items laying around all over? or are they just meant to be sold

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #427 on:** December 10, 2016, 07:27:58 PM »

You can use them when creating spells to give them extra power, but I hardly ever did any spell crafting so those items generally got used for extra cash.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #428 on:** December 10, 2016, 07:31:54 PM »

just got to chapter 8 and that's a lot less talking and explaining things out than most modern games. and not in a "this is concise" way but in a "ok now my characters are doing this for some reason" way. still, despite the obvious sloppiness of some of the game I can't help but find it really fun. every new area and scenario makes me love the game more.

demi · « **Reply #441 on:** December 12, 2016, 08:11:00 AM »

Part of me wants to just rush in and get the 1000 but I might as well just do all these sidequests and see whats up.

Also landing the carship to access the secret dungeon is a pain in the ass if not impossible. You can actually get a game over if you crash or land wrong. ROFL

King's Tale is definitely a pre-order game. A super simplistic beat em up with no scoring system at all. Might as well be a free flash game. Once you do the short story, you unlock 25 Dream Battles to try and complete.

I prioritized all the cheap things in ascension that passively give AP for doing stuff like riding a chocobo, using magic etc.

Also I like how in Chapter 8 the game suddenly has a monster fighting arena that is completely missable. And I have ascension abilities for racing a chocobo a thing that I have yet to unlock. The jank is strong in this game.

I'm kinda bummed that I went to a random outpost in like chapter 5 and bought weapons there and aside from the upgradeable stuff there isn't anything stronger. I've been using the same weapons for about 20 hours now.

Despite the fact that I'm level 50, I find that monsters and quests that are around level 38 or so are still challenging. Might be my fault for not better grasping the dodging mechanics of combat by now I guess. Spamming circle isn't enough though. This is probably why the first half of the Leviathan fight was so confusing for me. I couldn't figure out what to do.

My highlights are pretty much all the times I was out exploring or doing a simple quest, found a dungeon and went spelunking. I think I need to go back to the open world part as there are at least two Armiger weapons I didn't get (one I wasn't high enough level for, the other I didn't find).

tiesto · « **Reply #460 on:** December 19, 2016, 12:14:11 AM »

Just made it to the infamous chapter 13, but I have a ton of sidequests/hunts to do back in Lucis. The Castlemark dungeon and the canals in particular.

Funniest thing about the game

Rushing through the game. 14 hrs in, lvl 27, 0 APs spend. Stuck on that shitty Boss Girl battle in the Army Camp on Chapter 6 (got her to 10% health left). Reloaded and went to some dungeons and found (!) Thunderbolt for Noctis that wrecks shit. Yeah, I can always stock up on Phoenix Downs for that battle but that feels like cheating in this game somehow (action-based). Like using Phoenix Down in turn-based Final Fantasies seems normal, here it's like a second quarter in the arcade.

Weird.

Some chapters are ridiculously short like Chapter 4 - 20 mins. Chapter 5 - 40-60 mins.

Game is fantastic and best FF game since FF12.

why arent you using AP again? AP gets your new abilities and stuff.

So now I'm back in the open world, gonna be picking up side quests again, and going for the platinum. But fuck fishing, I never seem to have the right lure for the area. Gotta use a guide or something, that's the one trophy that's gonna be a serious PITA.

I think that Chapter 13 drags on for much too long, and the environment looks more along the lines of generic Xbox 360 military game instead of something as awe-inspiring as Altissa, but there are some really interesting things it does:

-the tonal switch to survival horror. I actually had a few jump scares when the MTs on the ground grabbed at me.
-finally going to the Empire's capital and realizing all of the people have been turned to demons by experimentation, even if it's a total ripoff of Arc the Lad 2
-spending the whole game with your boys and then suddenly becoming powerless without them
