Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII)

[Lex]

I don't even know how long it took me to clear that place now. The second half of a day off work in real life terms XD.

I'm angered and impressed by the quick-clear videos (because of how much time I spent on it!) but also they're really cool to watch. Sadly they miss the vast majority of the place's treasure ;-;

Just a heads up to Android/Google users. The full FFXV soundtrack is up for £5.99
This is a steal.

The OST is like £25/$28 to buy on iTunes and at 90-something tracks it'd be crazy expensive to buy track-by-track.

 

[ForceStealer]

Thanks for that heads-up Joe. I am all over that.

No, that sounds legal. An actual steal would be like Pirate Bay or something.

Seriously though that's awesome. I remember when I got Lightning Returns like two days later I bought the soundtrack on iTunes. Good times.

 

[Claymore]

Was this a short timed deal? As I'm only seeing it on for full price?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Holiday Pack is now available to download

Great, now I gotta go invest in the Season Pass that I haven't invested in yet.

Actual, grown geekass hoes onna innanet: FFXV was bad because it was sabotaged by SJWS and feminists.

This why people mock self-described "gamers."

. . . . Wat?

If it were, why is Cindy still dressed the way she is? Why doesn't Luna have more screentime?

You know what, this ain't even worth my time. I'm just gonna ignore this. This sounds like an article I'd find on The Mary Sue.

And why do they argue this:

Because there are a whopping 3 poc side characters and one of them is a woman. Also because Luna is a (barely stifled gigled) "strong female protagonist".

Seriously, the main battle cast is four white bros, around whom women only exist for marriage, cute girl next door sexual tension or to fix up their car while doing everything short of offering them a soapy titwank.

Yup, SJWs really sunk their claws into this product.

 

[lithiumkatana17]

While I personally don't think it was as bad as everyone says it is, the reason it is 'bad' is because of the long development and ultimately weak story writing, not because SJWs and feminists sabotaged it.

I understand the reasons people would lay into this game, I really do, but others saying it was bad because SJWs and and feminists sabotaged it?

Doesn't look like they succeeded to me.

 

[Cthulhu]

Sounds more like a gamergate-related snipe attempt. Like the stereotypical SJW sees everything as patriarchy and z0mg straight white men (and escalating from there), there's the white males that feel threatened and start seeing Their Malevolent Influence everywhere.

I'd argue FFXV is one of the least 'diverse' FF games in the history of its series.

 

[Tetsujin]

Just realized I can craft spells like Electon and Flare and such

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Double-posting because I have news. I actually managed to beat Pitioss tonight.

Congrats!

Spoiler

I figured I would go do some pre-gaming to sort out my attack strategy for Friday.

Spoiler

Pre-gaming? All it takes is a little liquor, eh?

Spoiler

I exploited the drop glitch which allows you to skip ahead to the 2.5 segment bypassing about 75% of the dungeon.

I did not know this was a thing!

Spoiler

I looked into it, and it's crazy how fast you can complete the dungeon (only 1:34 in this recording!):

Congrats again.

Follow-up:

Spoiler

Sean Gallagher has topped himself on this one and achieved a 1:28 run.

 

[ForceStealer]

Oh wow, I didn't know that either.

 

[Cthulhu]

I haven't been able to figure out the magic system (other than that you can just add more stuff and get moar stronger), nor have I used it much. It did seem like the Moast Powerful Thing You Could Do next to summons, but you also hit everyone else so its use is limited / annoying.

 

[Joe]

Spoiler: Just now nabbed the Platinum Trophy for this game

Pretty happy too as it's my first platinum trophy on ps. Never got into the trophy stuff.

 

[trash panda]

You guise,
Does anyone know if

Spoiler: Platinum Demo spoiler

Carbuncle is supposed to be in your party or something? Is he an obtainable summon later in the game? For some reason I recall playing the Platinum demo and being told that Carbuncle would be in the game if you finished the demo. Am I making this up?

I'm not consulting the internet on this because I only want an answer to this question and I'm avoiding spoilers.

Only shows up in easy mode unfortunately.

 

[Blade]

^Only active in Easy Mode only, sorry to say.

Right now I need to farm Ribbons so the area around Pitioss isn't a headache. Dem's Malboro Country!

If I try this noise during my livestream- the show will be over a whole lot quicker (or more likely a lot slower because I fail hardcore at timing that sprint dash manuever.

 

[Tetsujin]

Just received my FFXV OST.

Unfortunately, the booklet doesn't credit composer/arranger for each individual track like it used to be. =/
I think the iTunes release also just credits Shimomura for every track which is not accurate.

Where have all the credits gone,
long time passing...

Seriously that's kind of lame.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah it bugs me. Apparently another digital release has more detailed credits but even then they don't seem quite correct with the Chocobo themes and the FF theme credited to Uematsu which yeah, no shit, he composed those but who the hell arranged the XV versions in particular? We may never know.

Come on Square, this shit is important to me!

 

[Jason Tandro]

And the show begins in 5 minutes.

Jason Tandro Vs. Pitioss: Now Livestreaming

The show begins at 5 EST.

Edit: And the show is over. Roughly 36 minute clear time.
