We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Just sell the original disk you have; that's the easiest thing.
I really hope in future patches they have level 120 versions of bosses (sort of like the level 99 rematches in Comrades)
Shimomura was, according to the page for the Vol 2. soundtrack on Square's store.
The music added to this is among my favorite in the game
Squaresoft How much would you get for the original game if you sold it?
Hmm, we know Yoshitaka Suzuki composed for Royal Edition again, but tbh this here doesn't quite sound like Suzuki to me at least - I might be wrong though. Maybe it's Tadayoshi Makino (of Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter fame) who also arranged the new Comrades medley?
EDIT: Makino is not mentioned in the Royal Edition credits, just checked:

Thank you very much for this post. I have been looking for combat guide/tips as I am not sure how some mechanics work (the game never dives into in-depth explanations). Your post answer some of my questions.
OP
OP
Mine too. I was talking to someone about this, I can't believe how Shimomura has remained so inspired for the music in this game even after all this time. The Mystic Boss Theme is incredible.
I remember someone posted and article or an interview awhile back that there was a ton of music she made for Versus/this never even made it to the game. I wonder if this is some of it.
I hope all of that stuff gets released eventually. FFXV as a whole is pretty close to being my favorite FF soundtrack of all time.
We know Suzuki worked on the Royal Edition too. Just checked the new RE credits:
Well the thing is that i had the OST for the game, which lists Yoko Shimomura as the composer for every single song in the game, even for ones I know she wasn't responsible for, or at least chiefly responsible for
So i always have to ask for an accurate answer
Sure thing! It's really easy to play FFXV and mistake it for something that it isn't.
It's alot easier to enjoy the game when you play to its mechanics. But unfortunately the game does not really explain them to you, and the majority of the depth has to be figured out by the player....
...which usually doesn't happen because people generally just hold Attack and warpstrike until they get KO'd, at which point they pop an item and just go right back to it
It's a really "JRPG"-esque thing to do. Playing WRPGs in the recent years, i've noticed that they're way less opaque about the mechanics of the game. FFXV just happens to be a pretty mechanically dense game that doesn't tell you anything.
EDIT: Okay, not sure if this is legit from the game data or someone's personal mod.
Yoshida teased the collabo last year already, btw:

I NEED THIS NOW.
Also, this reminds me: when people got their hands on the PC version early, someone took a screenshot of the main menu, and unless my memory is just being weird I swear there was a Twitch Prime option. I'd say that makes at least two upcoming promotions for the game. No idea what they'd give out for the game on Twitch though.

I've only used it once (when they had stuff for Assassin's Creed: Origins), so I don't know if it's the same for all games. But the way it worked for that was I had to link my Twitch and Uplay accounts together, and then redeem the items via a link on Ubisoft's site.
I'm quite impressed by how reactive they were actually. Really shows that they are taking this port seriously.
As for the framepacing on PS4, I doubt it will ever be fixed since even the PC version has it whenever people use the in-game fps limiter.
Let's hope it's fixed. I personally haven't reached a point in which I can use summons, so I can't test it.
Are we sure that FFXIV outfit is legit? Looks like it's someone's personal project and not actually something in the game, at least according to folks on Reddit.
According to the Steam forum and one person in the performance thread, it's been fixed.
Wasn't it also datamined from the bench before release?
What in the shit...I was looking through that tumblr, mother of god.
And people thought chapter 13 was a horror game.I was looking through that tumblr, mother of god.
D-D-Devilman?I was looking through that tumblr, mother of god.
This game's lighting at 60fps....whew. Shit looks so good.
Dunno what's going on with prompto's hair though

I see chapter 13 has implemented some extra scares along with some free nightmares.
Wow, I completely agree with you. Even the meager fetch quests are really fun to me. I've literally cleared most of the Duscae map of all available hunts and side quests I can do so far and I'm only at the end of Chapter 5 lol. I'm currently level 58.
Does anyone know what the deal is with the absolutely random level 76 mech that attacks you at the base near Hammerhead? I managed to defeat it, but I went through a ton of potions to do it lol. I in the middle of the picture taking side quest for Vyv where I take pictures of 3 bases. That was my first base. I was expecting to maybe get ambushed by soldiers, but not a level 76 walking death machine! Luckily that appears to have been an isolated occurrence.

You mean from the Assassin's Creed crossover event? Those were time-limited.
I'm aware the event was a limited-time thing but I'm not sure the gear is since I found the daggers
This shouldn't be relegated to be just a glitch but should become a modI was looking through that tumblr, mother of god.
Yeah I'm dumb I got really excited thinking they just put the stuff in the world which I would have been totally okay with
So, since there was some negativity earlier, I thought... why don't we do some more constructive creativity... Mainly two relatively major things you'd change about the game if you could.
1) I'd rework combat as noctis. Not super majorly, really, if you use lock on, you wouldn't even notice the rework. It will really only affect the play if you are unlocked. My current biggest problem with game's combat is it's stickiness. You cannot actually attack unlocked. Even if you aren't locked on any enemy, the moment you press attack, Noctis soft locks on somebody, usually the closest enemy. This is A PROBLEM. first of all, it makes attacks with anticipation impossible. If I see a monster about to run into me or past me, I can't swing into empty air, knowing that by the time my blade swings, monster will step into it. Instead, noctis will rush towards enemy, and in case of fast opponents, will hit where they used to be, not where they are now. And in worst case scenarios, noctis will do literally the opposite and run into enemy charge, instead of making enemy charge into his attack. It also makes giant enemies like Iron Giants feel janky to fight as him. You can't really properly just stand in specific position and attack, you need to lock to one of the body parts. With case of Iron Giant, most of the time, your lock will end up his arms when you don't want it too, making hitting his blind spot a chore. Iron Giants have attacks that hit behind them, they don't also need to break lock on system to give them further advantages.
So what I'd change? If you aren't locking on, nocits will swing completely freely. just into the air, like any action game. But, you will lose access to directional moves and stuff. Tilting the stick during attack, will cause him to do a "turn around" attack and continue the combo, no evasive backflips, no side steps. Those will be exclusive to lock on, sort of like DMC works, with directional attacks when locked on, and freedom of swinging and turning around freely without.
2) This one is a bit more specific. What I'd do is I'd rewrite the story to keep Noctis in Insomnia during the invasion. Basically, bring back all that awesome stuff from old trailers, where bros fought empire in the not yet fully fallen city. I understand the idea of starting during a more relaxed moment, pushing the car... but I ultimately disagree and think more action start, that instantly gives us reasons to relate to characters by seeing them desperately fight for their home and then having to escape, so much torn away from them...

Yes, I really agree that people may treat FFXV as an action game instead of a RPG. Its combat is very fast-paced compared with other JRPG counterparts, and its button-prompt actions like evade or warpstrike make it like an action title. After reading your tips and playing the game for 20 hours, it really isn't. It requires patience and thinking to fight in a more "classy" manner instead of constantly taking potions in each fight.
If FFXV's system was explained better, or was just laid it all out, would make it a much better game. Man, even Xenoblade 2, which is heavily criticized by people against its take on tutorial, explains everything you need to know once. Anyway, I hope Tabata will think about adding explanations in future updates, although they will definitely be low on his priority list.
Why not have both? Regis sends Noctis and his pals to reach out to Cid. The boys then decide to make a fishing trip out of it by heading to Galdin Quay. Once they caught their fill, they meet the mysterious man. Then they get dressed and head back to the city for the signing ceremony.
Makes the whole thing a filler tbh. Also, fuffs up the pacing imo. It'd be stronger if you get into big invasion action intro early, with your bros being introduced mid combat.
Man, Gralea has an astonishing amount of buildings and geometry for somewhere you never really get a big look of. All almost fully rendered with no backface culling too, no wonder the game is a performance hog on PC. Interesting to me that nearly all of the buildings light up in the dark and switch off in the day if I use Time of Day mods. I don't think the natural day/night cycle is in effect here so maybe it's a remnant of a bigger plan for the city.
Eh, I like it. It keeps the light-hearted introduction to the characters, which in my mind makes the loss of their homeland all the more impactful. To each his own, though.
