If they're smart it'll be Sector 7. But if not it's most likely Sector 5/6. My guess is it's early on after the first mission and it's Sector 7 expanded beyond what it was before and that's where most of the game will revolve around since they're adding missions/scenarios/etc.
The summon stuff just seems like a small thing to nitpick on that doesn't affect gameplay or anything, but that's just me. I'm all for them applying some extra effort to make summons more interactable vs them just coming in to do an attack and leave. The trade off is of course I guess the "effect and scale" vs having a temporary NPC...but to each his/her own
What cities? The game only has gas stations with fetch quests NPCs.
In the same post you said that the summons don't "affect gameplay" and then described how they affect gameplay.
"summon stuff doesn't affect gameplay"
I like XV but the NPCs are quite bland. In fact, NPCs in Final Fantasy have been kinda bad for some time, so it's expected (not including XIV here).
Altissia and Lestallum.
Well that's subjective, but I think it's a mix of good and bad.
I mean in the way that's making people bothered about it. It just doesn't seem like that big a deal is what I mean as far as effect on gameplay. I just don't see it as being inherently bad when you can actually semi control the summon and have them fight alongside you vs just doing some major flashy attack then leaving...I'd rather take the more "efforted" approach..if that's a word.
Which is cool, thats why I don't mind this system they using. I'd rather them be interactable vs doing an attack/magic then leaving. I'm for it. Side note I liked FFX and its summon system
You can literally play FF15 from the very beginning until the very end with just potions and warp strike and not die, you don't need anything else
Lol you keep moving the bar, a minute ago it didn't even have cities in your memory, but now two aren't enough. It's a game about the open road, two big cities is fine.
XV definitely is a flawed game, but it did have its merits. Of course, highly subjective.
It literally affects gameplay, making your original point still....wrong lol. And just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter to others.
"Sales don't matter except when they support my argument"
Oh I agree, I think FFXV is a garbage game with very little merit, beyond just looking pretty and having 2 good boss battles. But I was just joking because I saw people retorting you. People like XV for some reason.
I cant believe i downloaded 135GB of data just to play 1 hour of this game. Decided it was very very not good.
But how is what I'm saying a straight up bad thing? They literally make a cutscene attack into something more...I kinda feel like that's an upgrade just based on principle. I understand the nostalgia is there for a big flashy setpiece type move/magic cause I liked them too back then..... but having them out to fight with you PLUS finishing with a big flashy move kinda seems like they at least ATTEMPTED to appease both crowds.
Well that's because writers were involved in Nier Automata. But I digress this thread is about FF7 not another FFXV debate. :P
And It's fine for you to feel that way. It's not fine for you to assume it's just nostalgia goggles but it's fine for you to like the new implementation more. But it affects gameplay and your preference is irrelevant to that objective fact.
Being better than XIII in this aspect it's not much since it's worse in everything else.
I'm not sure I like quest indicatiors and them being on the minimap.
Wasn't a fan of how "normie" they looked. You had a group of bros with fantastic looks and fantastic hair, then NPCs that looked like generic, normies.
Which is WHY I was like "y'all just wait til the game drop THEN judge"
Yeah some of the best things about text based games were that everyone had their own little dialogues and flavor texts that changed over time. Not just some. That being said I just remembered JOhnny is in Midgar when you first arrive at FF7, I wonder if they're going to give that time too.
Right. After you said the thing that was wrong and then said because in your opinion it's better. That's why I'm moving on from said point.
If putting in the least amount of effort can let me finish a game without even dying then I don't see any reason to put effort into anything else that's in it
The game definitely has massive balancing issues. It could really use a Hard Mode. I was surprised it never happened in all of the updates.
I'm pretty happy that this is expanding on XIII by being a focused game that don't want to be everything and ends up being nothing like XV.
I liked XV and I somewhat agree with this sentiment. It WAS a little easy with items working the way they did and magic did seem kinda not-necessary except for EXP buffing....and it doesn't help that it affected your teammates too, even though I thought the attention to that detail was pretty cool even if it was a slight annoyance at times.
They were too busy making the story coherent.
But we don't know if they're obvious or discoverable yet. I don't think this will be like assassin's Creed.
