    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    At the final chapter now. I'm really glad that the narrative took the wheel at Chapter 9 because it had hardly felt like the game had cared at all about story up to that point. The story has come a lot further together now but a lot of "how/why did this happen" questions are being given generic...

    Also, XV has some really bad bugs. When I was running around Duscae on a chocobo, I ran past this Coeurl, and I had been running past him for like 10 minutes to a quest destination before I realized that combat never broke so I couldn't interact with anything and I couldn't get back on my...

    Have been super hyped for this game but wasn't able to afford it when it came out. Got it as a Christmas present and I'm at Chapter 5 now. This game is really good when it's good but I echo the criticisms people have about the camera and sidequests. But the biggest disappointment for me is the...

    When you level up a Pokemon to 100, you can use Bottle Caps to max out their IVs.

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    Demon Rain is one of the best tanks in the game, and Black Cat Lid was MVP in the arena before 6* Exdeath. Noel seems like he could be okay but he's a base 5* so I won't be pulling on this banner.

    People who want to powerlevel desynth will still buy that stuff. In fact, those are the only people even buying it now.

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    I really want to awaken my Noctis to 6* but sadly I used all of King Mong's cheap mats during the Lightning event to awaken Exdeath and CoD. I'll have to wait for next week's Mog event. In the meantime I'll probably just spam the Maze. I don't have any 2* Espers yet but I feel like the Maze is...

    I'm planning on using Embolden for the bonus Defense + Aura Ball to keep all of Antonella's pieces at a permanent -30% Attack. Think that will make a difference?

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    Can't believe I haven't seen this thread yet. Been playing since September or October, F2P. My current team: Exdeath 6* Cloud of Darkness 6* Noctis 5* (just pulled him, was using Ingus 5* before) Kefka 5* Refia 6* I have yet to pull Cecil, so I'm looking to put Charlotte on my team somewhere...

    Level boost/jump potions have just been announced. They will boost your level and also allow you to skip Main Story Quests. We don't have all the details yet, but if you've ever wanted to try out FFXIV but have been turned off by the slow-to-start combat and all of the hours upon hours of solo...

    Ashes of Creation

    I was hyped until I read this: Now I'm concerned. I see this dude putting in backdoors and other things to keep his guild competitive, because you know 100% he will be playing this. The dude was a huge RMTer in early ArcheAge. It's practically his dream game if the buzzwords are anything to go...

    They buffed almost all the Pokemon to the point where you can use anything and it will be viable, with the exception of like Delibird.

    Pokemon: Sun & Moon - Nov. 18th

    Well... there's a lot of one-shot stuff to do, but as for repeatable content, there's more than X/Y but not a lot.

    Pokemon: Sun & Moon - Nov. 18th

    M-Gardevoir is okay. Her HP and Def is pitiful and her Speed isn't great allowing pretty much any Physical revenge killer in the game to stop her easily. Hyper Voice can do some absolutely nutty damage with her, so her role is more of a wallbreaker than anything. I wouldn't call Psychic a...

    Pokemon: Sun & Moon - Nov. 18th

    Poison hits Psychic for neutral damage so Gardevoir still takes super-effective hits from Poison attacks. The wonder combo is still Ghost/Dark with Fairy being its only weakness. Ghost/Fairy is also very good as its only weaknesses are Ghost and Steel, and it can hit any Pokemon in the game...

    Even with the update there is no "poise." Yeah it's a stat with a number next to it on your character but it's meaningless. Basically when you swing with your weapon you get hyperarmor with a break point based on the weapon you're using. Daggers have hyperarmor with an incredibly small break...

    Tutorial is mostly over by the end of the first island. At the end of the second island it's pretty much gone but you will still find story-related gates until you beat the story. Also yeah, there's no 3D in this game.

    That's awful, but I'm still gonna play the English Dub because I absolutely cannot stand Japanese voice acting.

    I don't think a lack of Agility in DS2 makes the game feel "sluggish," it just reduces your iFrames so roll dodging has to be tighter.

    I like that they turned down the memes and went back to writing actually good dialogue.

    I always hated this criticism of X/Y. Party-wide EXP Share didn't make the game easier, it just reduced the need for grinding. And you always have the option to switch it off.

    Pokemon: Sun & Moon - Nov. 18th

    Bought it day it came out, took me about 30 hours to finish the story. Regarding the story experience, I think it's one of the better ones we've had in a Pokemon game so far. (Please keep in mind that all judgments I'm about to make are relative to the other Pokemon games. When compared to the...

    The Conan video didn't even show any of the combat lol. It's like they tried to make it look bad on purpose. That particular part is a vehicle for exposition. There's some good dialogue that happens.

    I felt the DLC was too short. Boss fight was cute but bosses don't make Dark Souls for me.

    Uh, I didn't think it was a job teaser. Red Mages will probably use a rapier and not the weapon that the character we're talking about was using.
