Final Fantasy XV: Cup Noodle XV Special Edition

[Damane]

why ¬.¬? its not like we heard that sentence allready too many times!!!

[-Zer0-]

Yes, but have you heard? Iggy came up with a new recipeh.

[Laugana]

So I finished the game just before the end of the year. About 144 hours, level 99, nearly maxed out the ascension grid (not finished recovery or exploration). Had pretty much done all the available hunts except for Adamantoise and I think all available quests (except for the hapless hunters one - I had like 20 left to do, couldn't be arsed lol). Has anyone here found all the fish and recipes yet?

Spoiler: show

So I'd spent a lot of time with the boys and even though you knew it was coming, you hoped there'd be a hail mary at the end. I was gutted when all the endings had been shown; tears, the works. I've needed some time to recover so I'll probably continue with the game in a couple of weeks when it's not so fresh. Yes, the story sometimes didn't make much sense but I had a great time playing it.

I bought the soundtrack yesterday as I love it so much, particularly the music in the last 2 chapters of the game. Though I do also like Ardyn's theme whenever it pops up and some of the other dungeon music, so sinister lol.

I also watched the Omen trailer last night which I hadn't seen before. When they showed a bit of it in the game, I wondered what the fuck that was about at the time - a premonition perhaps? And I guess it was, just not Noctis's.

I bought the season pass too, so we'll see what happens there.

I'm of two minds currently. I want and don't want to play the game. It'll be bittersweet after knowing what happens to Noctis, but I want to immerse myself again. Argh.

Besides the DLC that's been announced without schedule, and them saying they would add new hunts and stuff over time, is there anything announced or leaked to look forward to?

Spoiler: show

Finished the game a while ago, have about 80% of the Ascension board completed including most of the important 999 abilities. Was finishing up hunts, trying to gear for the post-game dungeons. Ended up doing the Daemonwall hunt, and was like, eh I'll mess around in Steyliff Grove secret dungeon. Wasn't that tough, even though I have no v2s, 1 Dark Matter Bracelet, 1 Ribbon. Just healed my way through with items as needed, had about 15 limit break spells. Sure, it was long, but repetative as hell. Between Block > Counter > Link Strikes and Armiger, it was pretty fast, even without all the super buffed items on all my chocobros. I know Costlemark post-game is a bit of a pain because of the no items, so I guess I'll get some extra Ribbons and such, more limit break spells... But yeah.

I believe they mentioned some post game content would include having more NPCs in the group (Araena, Iris, etc), new Hunts and such. I just kind of wish there were more "game" to it like the story portions, things that added to the world, the lore, rather than "Go to this dungeon and kill things". I rather enjoy the combat, but endless combat is kind of tiring after you've killed everything multiple times without being fully maxed out.

[Damane]

so i watched kingsglaive... it explaines a bit stuff but not much... but fuck couldnt we have sexy Nyx as the main char in 15 as opised to Noctis!! ok adult Noctis looks fine

Older Noctis was fiiiiiiiine as fuck.

[The Stig]

I dunno but when I saw him the first guy to come in mind was Stephen Chow:

I cannot un-see it now.

(work browser/connect being crap, can't upload image)

[brozy]

Can see it kinda aswell but first person i thought of was Keanu as John Wick.

[Laugana]

I watched Jesse Cox play the game on Twitch and when older Noctis appeared, chat said he looked like Crendor, which I can totally see lol.

Watched that video...a lot of that is bonkers.

Finally completed the game...

Not sure why everyone is complaining about battles in tight corridors and forced stealth at the end of the game. I experienced none of that.

Sure - You CAN choose to use stealth. Personally I just killed everything. As for the small corridor fights, I never experienced any strange camera angles, nor corridors with plenty of monsters.

The worst I experienced was that big room in Costlemark where I encountered god knows how many imps and flans, together with 3 red giants and a naga. God that was painful. Much, much harder than the boss itself that I killed easily.

I do fully understand the complaints about the story though. It certainly felt like a lot of content was cut. The majority of the actual story was condensed into the last 3 or so chapters of the game, they certainly could have worked a bit more on that. Overall though, I enjoyed the game. I hope the DLC delve more into the lore.

Edit: I do have one question though. WTF happened to Carbuncle? Weren't we supposed to get him after completing the Platinum demo?

Spoiler: show

I really, really hope that we can explore the World in Ruin more in some DLC. I was so disappointed when the truck came to pick me up. I want to see Demonslayer Iris and Aranea! And why wasn't Cid and Cindy at Hammerhead?

It would be awesome if the multiplayer DLC allowed you to roam freely there.

[Vagrant]

Edit: I do have one question though. WTF happened to Carbuncle? Weren't we supposed to get him after completing the Platinum demo?

He does show up as a random healer in Easy mode apparently. Other than that his only involvement seems to be the training room and randomly showing up in Prompto's photos.

Speaking of Prompto is there anyway to get him to shut the hell up permanently? Only on chapter 8 and I'm beyond tired of his constant whining about being tired and questions about his horrible photography skills.

[Vaspinne]

On easy mode, Carbuncle shows up every time your party wipes, fully healing and buffing the party, essentially making it impossible to game over. That being said, easy mode so it makes sense

Final Boss spoilers:

Spoiler: show

Someone glitched out of bounds in the fight and was able to explore Insomnia: http://imgur.com/gallery/Zvj7N

By the looks of it, a lot of it seems to be there. How fleshed out it is, we'll never know (probably not very), but it is amazing to see it in its entirety from above. Although it's slightly inconsistent (most of it was wrecked in Kingsglaive).

There's also many other vids of people glitching out of bounds, especially on the Shiva areas on the train leading up to Nifelheim.

[Uzor]

Spoiler: show

Well, apparently the Shiva part of the game had its own exploration zone, so makes sense. Insomnia was also "complete", as is dark Lestallum. So Insomnia being pretty fleshed out is not surprising, even if it is inconsistent with the damage done to the city.

I actually glitches out during that fight too, appeared both under the city, over the city and sideways. I just didn't think of using it to explore.

Wonder if you can use the glitch to travel to Lestallum.

Nah, man. Prompto also too busy making stupid ass selfies for all those chapters like it's a big fuckin fun party while you just heard 2 hours into the game that your dad died (or should I spoiler Kingsglaive stuff?) Combined with the stupid, completely not lore or plot related, fetch quests you get (early) in the game I seriously think this game would have been better off if it started linear, because from a plot point of view this is beyond stupid to me. Does this imply I think the second half (past chapter8) should be open? I don't know, I still couldn't be arsed to re-do that boring dungeon(+some random crap before it) from my last post where SE didn't do shit with "saving checkpoint" and I'd have to backtrack 90mins.

[shukudai]

Finally completed last stuff, Menace Beneath Lucis secret dungeons.

It's a bit odd. I've seen people stream their gameplay, and for the most part, it's completely different than how I did it. For the final dungeon, the no items one, I just farmed 20 of Flare/Freeze/Electon for when needed, ate the thing that makes you take no damage from elemental attacks, Ribbons as needed, and just targetted weapon/magic weakness. For stuff that survived limit break magic, I just kited until it was ready again. :3 It was fun, but more about the investing the time to prep for it, than difficulty.

Also very odd how they put so many great items in there, when there's nothing to use them on after lol.
