There's quite a few of those rescue missions dotted around. Also buy a few 'repair kits' from the Hammerhead store, and stop by any broken down cars at the side of the road. Easy EXP at the start of the game. Found him, finally, hidden away in a rock formation behind some tall grass. Would help if the voice you're meant to follow actually worked though! Purchased some repair kits too. Completed 5 hunts and am level 8 now. Gonna head down to the Quay to carry out the Pauper Prince quest now.

hogso Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Dissidia coming to PS4! Great news, properly good fighting game (at least it was on PSP) with plenty of fan service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 BIG update out yesterday (8+ GB) for the Episode Prompto DLC, but it also including the ability to turn the Regalia in to a MONSTER TRUCK. Try it out, it's fun. The camera completely breaks when you execute a jump, but I don't think it'd be quite as much fun if it worked properly.

Dante_Lockhart Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 FF12 soon. Awesome sauce. I'm still only on chapter 8 of FF15, not really as engrossed as I'd like to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Not done anything else on FFXV since posting, still on chapter 8. FF12 in a few days so FFXV probably won't be picked up again until I've had my wicked way with Captain Basch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Only one more sleep until my second favourite final fantasy game gets re released! I'm excited and can't wait for it, I loved it originally and looking forward to getting stuck into it again in HD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) One of only three Final Fantasy games I have not completed - not counting the online games ofc and a few obsure ones such as the Legend games (although technically not FF games). I should probably buy it, but haven't. I'll get it at some point, probably after I've finished with P5. Which could still be a while.

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 DO ITTTTTTTT @hogso It's a great game, and with the updates and revamp it'll be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) I read that they've moved all the chests and/or contents and stuff in this version, which was basically the most useful thing in the old piggyback guide - which I still have. Would have been nice to make use of it again! I guess the maps might still be worth looking at though. How much have they changed the hunts? If at all.

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I don't think the hunts have been changed. I know they've tweaked some of the RNG stuff with chests, and the Zodiac spear chest fiasco is removed, the spear can only be gotten in the Hennes mines I think it is now. No more avoiding chests in case you lock yourself out of getting it. 2 jobs mean everyone has their role, no more duplicates of party members which I like. Trial mode looks good, and it seems your LP and XP, as well as the rewards, carry over to your game save so the next time you load up the game you'll have everything you unlocked during trial.

Chindie Posted July 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2017 I really really didn't get on with XII. I still own it (and the hardback guide) but just disliked it intensely. I think the change to the combat system completely threw me off and I didn't much like the world it made, but I'm not sure why. I'd kinda like to give it another go just to see what it was, but there's no way I'm committing to a Final Fantasy game these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Its a bit blurry looking isn't it They've done a great job on updating the characters, they look great but some of the texture work on the locations and surrounding stuff is a bit lacking, at times, atrocious. Floor, carpet and wall textures look awful. I appreciate its an old game but I feel they did a 100x better job on X/X-2 HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 @Ingram85 Yeah the shading and stuff is a bit off on the close-ups of the faces etc... but it's not bothering me that much. The only thing that annoys me is that 'X' brings up the battle menu and is also used for opening chests/doors, so I'm ending up getting annoyed with the menu opening whilst trying to loot! I just had a bit of a run around last night on it. Got Vaan and Penelo to level 5, been chaining wolves and hyenas for loot and gil, got better armour for them now and a nice stock of potions. Just got the sunstone so heading to do the Thextera hunt before Penelo buggers off again. Not going to do any of the early game boosts this time round (Dustia farming, steal the Gladius etc...). Just gonna play through it as I would if I didn't know any of the tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just watching GiantBomb's QL and I'm reminded why I disliked XII. The battle system is horrible. It feels fundamentally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'd say the battle system is the best thing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2017 Iirc it's what made it so divisive. My brain just looks at it and recoils viscerally. It's not Final Fantasy. It's something else. The battle system feels like what you'd feel like playing Street Fighter in handcuffs whilst wearing mittens. Whilst also having the game play itself. ...Shudder.

It didn't help that some of the more flexible gambits only become available later on in the game. But yes, it is basically a programming language that you have to write yourself. It took me a long time to come to terms with, although I do remember it clicking at some point, at which time I did start to enjoy it. It's the story and characters that caused me not to finish it. Cos as far as I remember, there literally aren't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I've lost myself in Ivalice. Just got to the Dynast-King's tomb. Let's teach that Demon Wall a lesson in manners. Avg party level 25. Rocking up with Vaan (Shikari), Ashe (Knight) and Fran (Red Battlemage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
