It seems I'm in the minority on thinking that line is cringey and awkward sounding then haha.
Although Hero literally brought up a much more pressing and important reason first to criticize Maehiro's writing.
No hate to Koji Fox for how he localized it.
I just dislike the idea of a series name drop in any kind of serious context.
I've been getting WHACKED tryna get through Kairos going stylish with my more melee builds. I'm legit going through the game on FF mode AGAIN with some weaker weapons to refamiliarize myself with the enemies, cause i feel like i've gotten rusty since jumping back in lolI tried some kind of cheese ranged build for Kairos. It's effective but it's fucking boring as hell and takes forever. I think I might just have to git gud. I hate using Leviathan.
I just quit trying a new ranges build. I quit because I don't have enough time to play but this thing was definitely gonna get me the clear. It's just…not cool. I may have only made it to stage 7 on my melee build but I was getting straight S ranks.I've been getting WHACKED tryna get through Kairos going stylish with my more melee builds.

I really actually love playing Leviathan, but I've found it fun to use with some attacks that attract enemies, like deluge and mesmerize. Being able to dash into enemies and pull everyone in, just to dash back out and ream em with the charged L1 shot then switching to Ramuh for slow mo swift justice? Mean ass combo lolI just quit trying a new ranges build. I quit because I don't have enough time to play but this thing was definitely gonna get me the clear. It's just…not cool.

Absolutely eviscerates stagger bars. You'll notice it RIGHT quick on bigger foes when everything lands consistently, and it's insane how much stagger damage it does. For smaller foes, it's best to use abilities that groups them up though, I imagine that's why it naturally has Cross Swell, it really benefits from it when you pair it with either the charged L1 attack or the Square + X attack that shoots those 3 orbs. Really starts to shine when you start switching Eikons and begin comboing with other abilities though. It's bonkers how nimble Leviathan is, and how well that pairs with Eikon switching.Leviathan actually feels really good close range.
Though I never looked at the numbers closely so maybe I'm imagining it, but landing all hits from the gun melts stagger and does good damage.
Though honestly I'd want to keep it around for the double dodge mobility even if I don't use it for attacking. For my Kairos run I'm thinking of swapping Bahamut out for the extra Eikon, I might not use any of its abilities but its weapon seems like the ranged mob killer.
Cross swell synergizes with so many other abilities… it is the best move in the game for arranging creatures just so.Absolutely eviscerates stagger bars.

Seriously, it's bonkers. The amount of things you can do with it, and how well it positions enemies for you is just too good to pass up, so I almost always run it in my loadouts now lolCross swell synergizes with so many other abilities… it is the best move in the game for arranging creatures just so.
Its so annoying how its very points inefficient in arcade mode/kairos. It does too much damage :(Cross swell synergizes with so many other abilities… it is the best move in the game for arranging creatures just so.
Heard it in the interview too, might be a good thread to make! I know some people weren't to keen on XVI's tone(fooey I say lol), so this might be welcome news to a fair share of people.I wonder if it's better as its own thread, but apparently Koji mentioned that the CBU3 next project would likely be lighter in tone in the interview posted? I saw a post on the bird app about it.

Mostly just more aggressive with less downtime. I think some of their combo chains got extended but it's been a while so I'm not sure on that.So in kairos do the Dominants have new moves or are they just more agressive?
Abyssal Tear is completely broken and it's like an ultimate with a much faster cooldown. It charges extra fast using precision dodges.
OUF, that's ROUGH. I'd have shed a tear losing that kinda progress, not gonna lie lolJust died in stage 13 because some Minotaur guy hit me one time at full health and I died. I'm really mad. Think I'll play it safe and just go with a ranged/aoe monster using Leviathan and other stuff. I got pretty far with melee using two of Ultima's abilities, Dominion and Pulitzer whatever the fuck. They're absurdly strong and deal so much stagger damage. I was staggering bosses so damn fast. They also have super fast cooldowns. I'll keep them in my ranged arsenal for that alone. Anything that clears the shit out of rooms seems to be the way to go in Kairos.

The dlc director mentioned XVI had some appreciable success picking up younger/newer fans, so I wonder if it has some crossover with that.So timing with the dlc is convenient but I'm getting the impression that FF16 hit harder with new and causals more then we thought. My Target is now carrying the FF16 art book in-store. There's been pokemon/minecraft/roblox kids activity books and minecraft cookbook but the only proper book for a game we have ever carried is the Zelda encyclopedia.

Well this is a first for me! I've never gotten every trophy in a game including the DLC before. I loved this game and while it wasn't perfect it was a great ride. I am really sad my journey with Final Fantasy XVI is truly over.
XVI-2 and hot pants wearing Clive confirmed!I wonder if it's better as its own thread, but apparently Koji mentioned that the CBU3 next project would likely be lighter in tone in the interview posted? I saw a post on the bird app about it.
If you actually play Kairos gate you'll very quickly see how absolutely ridiculously broken you become when so many individual variables are upgradable which is why they took away the accessory and gear slots in the mode. The mode and features are meant to be in a roguelike/rpg short term time investment and not for a full game.Looking at Kairos gate
Man I just can't understand CBU3 sometimes. Why the heck does the optional endgame bloody palace mode have more RPG elements than your base game? Why not leverage some of this for the base game to make things feel fresh before the 80 hour mark?
There's like...actual thought that feels like it went into stuff like Kairos gate and the chronolith trials that's just entirely absent for a lot of the rest of the game where you're gathering 2 gil and garbage to funnel into the worlds worst crafting system, christ. Like the progression and loop was handled by an entirely different team or something. Glad they included it though. Will be interesting to see if PC mods can rebalance the game or add more mechanics. XV had a mod that completely reworked the whole ascension grid so you could get the cooler combat stuff faster and cut down a crazy amount of the grind, and it makes the game like an order of magnitude more fun to play.
I hope that if they do a final update with the PC release of the game it's just an honest to god RPG rework. Nothing will change the dogshite quests or pacing issues or the poor treatment of women at this point but they're so close to having a reasonably decent array of RPG subsystems that it would be a shame for it to go to waste. Giving the special weapons eikon perks and letting some accessories unlock permanent smaller perks in the ability tree, the cooldown stuff etc. in particular would be a decent start.
It's not just Square. Pretty much all DLC is region locked on PSN the way the stores are set up.
If you contact Sony support they will refund you.
Congrats.Holy shit I beat Kairos on FF mode. That was hard. No Leviathan cheese either. Got a B at the end. Could've gotten more S ranks if I had swapped something for Abyssal Tear which earns you tons of easy points. I couldn't drop my load out though. It made enemies stagger so fast I was skipping mechanics at times. Fuck the secret boss thought. No way I'm gonna be able to get all S ranks.
I'm also not from US (in Ireland) and was able to get a refund pretty easily from support a couple of times for purchases like this so somewhat surprised to hear that! Sony support is defintiely the worst out there though. Should be able to get a refund online etc.I randomly checked and Its now on sale! $35 for the base game.
Not showing up yet on the Deals page though. They should advertise that more now with the DLC available.
I'd rather just double dip than deal with support. I bet they're gonna reject me because I am not from the US anyway like all the times I tried to contact them lol It's against terms and conditions to have a US account when your not from the US and you get shutdown no matter your concern is.
Anyway, excited to get back into the game, DLC sounds amazing so far from the impressions I'm reading. Starting from New game sounds really nice right now. I prefer if it was NG+ but whatever.
Thanks! But now I'm sad it's over. Not like I have anything to use this new weapon on.

I've been running through arcade mode with the new powers. The game is such a blast. I wish there was an endless mode or some kind of battle randomizer. Even with the latest features, I feel like something is missing.Thanks! But now I'm sad it's over. Not like I have anything to use this new weapon on.

I still haven't figured out arcade mode scoring. Kairos gate is the same. I try to play efficiently and always end up with a low score. I finished Kairos gate and scored miserably the whole way through.Mods will be the primary reason why I will double dip on PC. There will definitely be a randomizer out there for us and maybe even fix arcade mode scoring!
Yeah I might do that and see if I can finally S rank some of the stingier stages that refused to give me more than an A. The Ultima abilities are so unbelievably strong. Honestly kinda broken. Dominion and Proselytize in particular are so powerful. Super short cooldowns and super high damage and stagger. Ultimate Demise is also good because it does a ton of damage, a ton of stagger, and it freezes the stagger bar while allowing your other abilities to come off cooldown. It's all so wonderfully overtuned.I've been running through arcade mode with the new powers. The game is such a blast. I wish there was an endless mode or some kind of battle randomizer.

I say cheese but it's not really cheese. It's more that it's very safe. It's strong and you can just shoot people from a safe distance while using a ton of AoE abilities.
You really have to know what and when to use certain skills for arcade mode scoring, unfortunately. To rank high in the leaderboard (or even just getting an S), the playstyle encouraged is quite restrictive. Low cooldown and weak skills are preferred over high damaging skills. Rift slip is king. Ultimate skills are terrible.I still haven't figured out arcade mode scoring. Kairos gate is the same. I try to play efficiently and always end up with a low score.

I suppose if I ever want to rank on the leaderboard I'll look up a youtube guide on how to earn points. I have paid little attention to the meta for XVI.
