Is anyone going to make a thread for the expansion? Only reason I remembered it is because I randomly booted up xv

Most people are probably pretty hesitant to make an OT for it because it'll be filled with the usual FFXV shitposts and a bunch of "when is the game gonna be finished so I can buy the whole thing yo?"

At least that was the feeling I got when people previously asked about making an OT for Comrades.

Huh ok, I'm on level one with -5 exp to level. I did think I hit level 2 st the results screen.... how weird

but it doesnt get applied until you camp or stay overnight at a hotel


if you end the chapter then its force applied.....I usually tack up enough xp to hit level 30 at the end of chapter 1 if you do it correctly.....you can powerlevel like crazy if done correctly early in the game

Comrades is just full of surprises!

From being able to explore and climb the Power Plant, to Aranea fighting alongside you in a quest, I'm surprised by the amount of wonderful fanservice in this expansion. And to top it all off, Cindy just cooked dinner instead of Monica! Now I'm itching for Ignis to turn up.

I think the smaller areas of Comrades really helps the performance...

Also the game is way better than I thought it would be.

Spent an hour in the character creator as suspected and I have a crush on my character :D It's a really well-done creator, though there should be a button to quickly jump to 50% while tweaking parameters and one to cancel changes of the current parameter.

Did the tutorial mission. As I said after the beta already, combat feels somehow better than in the main game, just for the new magic system alone (spells look prettier now than in the beta, I think), but I have to play more to analyze all the other aspects.

Music in Lestallum is smoooth!

The new trophies are all visible now here in NA, but the expansion itself is nowhere to be seen on the store. Guess I gotta wait another 2 and a half hours.

Okay really need to sleep now, but I've dug in a little bit. It's looking pretty fun so far. I'm really curious how deep all this stuff goes, the story, the world, the gameplay systems. Also I wonder if they'll keep supporting it with new stuff or if everything that's here is it.

Fake edit: Okay so when you get a sigil, it's really cool, that's all I'm saying.

It took an entire game day to reach the top of this volcano and the sun was setting juuuust too much right as I finally reached the photo point, so now because there is no wait till morning thing, I'm literally letting the game idle to wait till morning. This is total bullshit. Even Ocarina of Time, one of the first games with a day/night cycle, knew that there had to be a time advancing spell.

Edit: As I still wait, I can not overstate the magnitude of this offense and others like it. This game crosses every bridge possible to respect a gamer's skill level and allow the experience to be accessible to them, but it has almost zero respect for the player's time. Anyone who qualifies as a fan of the series must be a grown ass adult by now, and nearly all have jobs that consist of not playing the game all day.

Edit 2: Of course, even if you did, it would seem the game wants a large portion of the experience of playing it to actually be NOT playing it.

I keep forgetting I only have the season pass for my Japanese copy and not my NA one.

Still, it's still not up in NA? It's already after midnight on East coast.

Can't wait to play Comrades this week end. First impressions are looking good.

There really should be an OT tho. Who cares about the drive-by posts. Are we gonna skip the Ignis episode OT as well?

Remember that this game is gonna get continuous support in 2018 too, it would be a shame if it became a trend.

Seriously, if I could I would but I'm still a noob here.

So I have to make my party with every quest I take? Can't I just play through the whole thing seemlessly with a party of friends? Lame if so :/.

Anyone got the standalone price? Couldn't seem to find it for the OT. Also for the Subtitle I picked a part of a line from a certain character: "Many Sacrificed All For the King...," but I'm open to something more clever if anyone has an idea.

So, is Comrades fun to play alone?
I played about 4-5 hours last night solo, with the occasional "oh someone's already playing, I'll join them for this one mission" and I found it extremely fun. I can definitely see this being a perfect choice for when you want to grind something for a bit while listening to music, podcasts or running a movie in the background.

Ah man, the clothes you can unlock are so cool. Got my 2nd clothes node before heading to work today and the stuff looks awesome! AFAIK the clothes I unlocked weren't in the beta, so I'm excited to see how much more new stuff there's to get!

My biggest worry was the lack of clothing options in the beta, so it's cool that that expands over time too. Really pumped to start playing this tonight.

It'll take time to build up to the number of options the beta offered, but the options you start with and can buy early on look pretty cool in my opinion!

Yeah, come on, someone has to do an OT^^ I can't right now, sorry.

Btw, I don't know much about how online stuff works in games, but can you not have a set party of people here consisting of PSN friends/parties? Do you really have to manually create a camp for every mission and share the ID with your friends? oO

Is the Let There Be Light trophy cumulative? I mean, really I need to have 999999 Kw at once in my "inventory"? If so, fuck SE.
If you can simply play and spend Kw, it's ok.

It's been one year, how's the game now? Loved it in my first playthrough, am considering launching a NG+, but is it really worth it with all the additions?
I finished it way before the reworked Chap. 13 came out btw.

Wait until the free story updates throughout the next year are out too to replay it. It's gonna be really interesting to see if they'll manage to improve the narrative substantially or if it'll just feel like band-aid.

Regarding the changes so far:

https://www.finalfantasyxv.com/en/updates or http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Final_Fantasy_XV_patches

The biggest change is probably the off-road driving that was added a few months ago:

And there's a new battle mechanic called Cross Chain (QTE combo attacks with the whole party).

Source.

You can now accept multiple hunts at once since this month's patch. Then they added a Bestiary and Chapter Select a few months ago.

Also a new playable section with Gladio in Chapter 13 (20min-ish) and new cutscenes in Chapter 12 (explaining the gods' lore and extending a scene with Luna and Gentiana).

Oh god, I just realized I deleted FFXV after I finished the episodes that were out to make room for other stuff. This patch is huge for the base game. Guess I'll be playing tomorrow. :|

I could do one if you'd like but I don't have any experience in creating OT's so it may be a bit messy.
You know what, let me just do it real quick if you haven't already started^^ Okay with you? I can reuse the summaries I posted before and images from the recent official tweets. Doesn't have to fancy, only matters that everybody knows it's up in most places now.

That sounds good.
