I feel ripped off as an early thread reader...

When will the review section finally be complete. I want Ignis to move on to another OT.

I know it's weird. Also weird, Noct doesn't look like he's sweating in this section.
Starting to think it might be a glitch, similar to how party members don't get dirty, only Noctis. Was looking at a Youtube video of the console version, pretty sure character skins never actually appear this way on PC. Also seems as though only Noctis' hair gets properly wet on PC. Or maybe it's a gameplay/cutscene thing.

I'm glad they added the ability to sail on the Royal Vessel. I don't normally care much for fishing in games, but just sailing on the water and then stopping to relax while fishing is really fun. Lost an hour or so to doing just that, which I definitely did not expect.

I'm also really, really glad they added the Regalia Type-D:

This moment was hilarious:

(The colors are messed up because Ansel disables certain effects and this scene was reaaaally dependant on post fx, maybe someone with photoshop skills can fix it?)

So the royal vessel is nothing but fishing, is that right?
More or less.

There's a quest that lets you see Bismarck, but otherwise, all I've found is fishing. You can't go to Angelgard using it— it's just Cape Caem, Galdin Quay, and Altissia. There are a few photo opportunities for Prompto though.

This is a weird ass game.

I'm at the very start, and... Jeeeeze... my character is dressed like a Japanese hipster, living in some kind of future world with a quasi 1950's vibe... except he and his buddies run out into a field and start fighting dinosaurs with magic swords that seem to materialize out of thin air... and then when they're done killing dinosaurs someone calls him up on his cell phone.

I mean, seriously, wtf???

I mean, that's typical Final Fantasy... Is this your first game in the franchise?

Also, it's kind of weird that you are surprised by the aesthetics since they have been advertising them for over 10 years....

Yeah, also the Fal'Cie don't even make sense, like why did Bhunivelze kill his mother Mwynn and why did he create Etro in her image accidentally and give her no powers, and how did Etro kill herself and then gain powers from Mwynn who was dead, and why did Bhunivelze make Fal'Cie to find the unseen realm, if Bhunivelze can't see or find it why would something he created be able to? Nothing about the lore in FNC is even properly explained or given any reason for why things happened, hell I don't think Bhunivelze or Etro are even mentioned by name in FF13 either despite being key figures in the lore. That's why I prefer the Cosmogony to FNC and am glad they threw the FNC into the trash out of XV, Cosmogony feels much more straight forward and like you said, very Greek.

The lack of acknowledging and exploring the central lore of the FNC was a big failure for the FFXIII trilogy. The whole Fal'cie mythology is very Eastern at its core but because the wonderful video showing the entire backstory (with a wonderful Prelude rendition), was never released, the lore never came together or became accessible. However, tbh Bhunivelvze was mentioned repeatedly in 13 as the 'Maker' and he should have kept that moniker in LR instead of the whole 'God' lingo.

I find the game more fun if you change Prompto and Gladio into their alternate costumes. They look so much better. Even Ignis looks snazzy in his alternate costume without the jacket.

One of my main issues with the XIII trilogy (I liked the first game) was how quickly it turns around on its premise of "fuck the gods, mortals will make their own way", with Lightning defying the deities of her world, for humans to be free from their influence... And then she goes "Oh, Etro, I'm your knight and bringer of salvation. I will fulfill your will and guide the souls to the next world". And then she goes on to become a "goddess" herself in place of Etro.... That really undermines the message they were trying to tell in the first game. The narrative in the sequels was so disjointed that it's clear they didn't have a plan and just made stuff up as they went. The ending of the original game was cool and should've left like it was. When they pull the retcon of that ending in XIII-2 I was like "..... Seriously...? They are going to pull THIS off....?"

I don't use anyone's default clothing. Noct looks a lot better with no jacket I think.

Prompto and Ignis casual jacketless. Gladio shirtless of course.

I'd have it appear while Noctis is in the Crystal and Bahamut is explaining who "the Usurper" is.

I just don't think it makes sense to cut away from the action for large periods of time to make you play as other people. It interrupts the game flow massively and you don't carry any progress from the episodes into the main game so it just ends up feeling like a diversion. A narratively satisfying diversion? Entirely possible. But a diversion nonetheless.

So is naming your Chocobo on PC bugged or what? The keys don't work (expect backspace for some reason), and there's no way for me to get letters with the controller either.

My game's being buggy and hunt monsters aren't showing up. Pls tell me this doesn't mean my file is corrupt or something and I could just close the application and restart D:

I love the photography that Prompto does in this game. Some cool shots:

Pretty funny how Prompto just goes for a selfie with Cindy after hoping our party will get her approval for getting car parts. Also, Noctis looking stylish in a suit. Funny how I'm going hunting giant creatures in a 3 piece suit.

Here's some quotes from Ifrit fight(one of the most ''serious''moments in the game)to prove my point :

"Stay Cool. He's gonna bring the heat!"

"Out of the frying pan, dot,dot,dot"

"We need to put this thing out"

"So even that wasn't enough" Referring sarcastically to Bahamut's assist

"Going out in a blaze!"

After Shiva speaks to Noctis

"What did she say?"
Completely sarcastic tone meant to make fun of the fact that Shiva spoke in an in game tongue.

The delivery of all these lines is non-chalant and sarcastic all the way through ,and all the characters talk like this not just Prompto.

The only time where the game manages to sustain any immersion is in the train sequence imo.

Is English not your first language?
You sound incredibly bad at parsing intention, and like you're projecting some sort of weird misguided anger onto these characters.
None of those lines are read "sarcastically" or even really without the weight their context requires.

Kind of sounds like you just want all the characters to sound "sad" all the time because that's your idea of "mature?"

Gladio shirtless of course.

Of course! :D

The AI in this game is great. For some people he'll take a lot of pictures of Gladio and his butt, lol. For others he just keeps on taking selfies and ignores the rest of the cast. He's pretty obsessed with Noct in my game. I think there's some kind of logic to it. At times you get the option to choose what kind of pictures you'd like to see more of.

Ignis casual jacketless

I really wish there was an outfit for him without the hair gel.

Disappointing but expected. Would've liked some small islands to explore or something. Nothing major or anything but it would've been something. Oh well, no big deal.

Yes, I've never played a Final Fantasy game before...

...so of course it came as a surprise to me that my character, dressed like a Japanese gang member, living in what appears to be a highly advanced society that models itself on an Elvis Presly movie from the 1950's, would march out onto a field, whip out his magic sword, and engage in combat with what basically amount to dinosaurs... and then have a conversation on his cell phone afterwards.

Nah, there's nothing weird about that whatsoever. Sorry, but this is one of the weirdest games I have ever played.

I get the feeling the boat is one of two things: it's either there as a sign of future DLC additions, OR it's there to give PC modders something to do with that ocean. Most likely the former, but possibly the latter.

I think he just meant to say that Prompto was being inappropriately non-serious

Would be awesome if we could eventually use it to sail to Niflheim.

I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but hey, it's nice to want things.

Hopefully someone makes that hairstyle a mod for the main game in the PC version. I love how he looks with that style.

Decided to finally see why "Credits" was gold since installing the Royal Pack and saw there was a new set of credits.

It was great having the DLC voice actors listed alongside the rest, and for DLC images to be used.

but the final image of the boys watching the sun rise in Insomnia knowing that Noctis is dead HURTS TOO MUCH

Been trying and failing to make the game not fun.
- Walked around aimlessly, was amazed by the graphical beauty of the game.
- Fought some random monsters, loved the animations and battle system. I'll probably lose my mind once I unlock the character switch perk.
- Tried doing some story stuff (surely these must be boring, because everyone is whining about them), couldn't help but admire the way each and every character is relevant and relatable (Cid-Regis stuff with that photo on the table is a good example of this), and I hear it gets even better and more focused in the second half. WTF?

Please show me a way to hate this game, because not being able to play it all day is torture.

I really wish we could access Kingsglaive, Brotherhood, and A King's Tale from the main menu. Would really help sell this as the "complete edition" (obviously without the second season pass content).


Edit: And I completely forgot about Platinum Demo. Hell, maybe they could throw in Parting Ways on the archive section of the menu.

Same feeling here. Of course there are some small issues, but overall the game is great. Although I am still in Chapter 3, I like it a lot.
