Anyone purchase the JP version? I would love to get a scan of the JP cover art to replace the US version I plan to buy. I'll even PayPal you for your trouble :)

Still struggling to land Squall's triggers on a constant basis but I'm having tonnes of fun right now. Especially when tagging up with a teammate for a team combo :)

I shouldn't have wasted the 9 treasures today. I should have left them for the third roster so I could at least have a chance for something for Noctis.

Hopefully it resets since nothing in the beta really matters.
I got the alternative costume for the Cloud of Darkness on my very first box. CoD isn't in the beta yet, being added on the 16th.

I'd say that's a soft confirm that everything is in the boxes right now. So don't sweat it and open away.

Think PS4 servers just crashed

Also holy hell I'm loving Ramza, he hits like a tank with all his buffs up and has such fast strikes

I'm still really unsure on how I feel about the game. Like, I kind of like it, and I kind of don't.

And I'm not sure if I'll get bored of it

Actually, once I've completed the story content, I probably will.

What made me play past the story in Duodecim was the reports, which gave me a lot of additional playtime. Though the last two required a ridiculous amount of grinding and skill and I was not down

Sadly I guess this means I should wait until it's $30 or less

Well its good to know I didn't lock myself out of any special Noctis stuff, thank you. I look forward to getting more treasures in the full game :)

Man it's hard to wrap my mind around the movement. I never play games like this. I'm playing Lightning and I'm just ignoring RAV while I try to handle this much happening. Totally different skillset than a traditional fighter.
Her Ravager is awesome. It allows you to put up a defensive wall and change how an opponent approaches you.

Also, wow this game has loot boxes!

Anybody who has the full JP version of the game.

Can you select your party of three in single player/offline mode? I'm really hoping you can!

Rush Battle, yes (like in the beta). In the story, no - you're locked to the characters for that specific battle. You can change which of the 3 characters you control though.

Thanks for the answer! I figured that it wouldn't be available in the actual story mode but I was hoping that you could still select your party of three somewhere.

Doesn't the beta save the progress? I played a bit this morning and now when I started it again the moogle greets me again and the story bits are gone,too.

Been playing through the beta for the past few hours, I don't know what it is but the controls feel very clunky and slow in terms of movement and tracking opponents, despite the game looking fast and hectic. The best character to play with in terms of feel that I've used so far is Ramza because he feels more faster and responsive than others. I don't like how the camera only lets you view what's directly in front of you instead of a full rotation around you, and there should be an option to map jump to X. There is a ton of lag playing online right now too, jiterring and stopping every 2 seconds or so, so I've just been playing offline mode.

I never really got into the PSP versions so I don't know how it compares to those that much, but even compared to other SE Action based systems those are far more intuitive than this. Hopefully these issues are smoothed over.

What's up with the female announcer during start-up? That's a first for both Square-Enix and Koei Tecmo, isn't it?
I think I got Kefka sneering startup logos on my screen. But yeah, don't think I've played an SE or KT game with that. Also was half expecting the Dynasty Warriors logo to pop up after the intro, given the transition seemed just so familiar.

Everytime you start up the game another Final Fantasy character reads out the names. Sometimes it's a female character, more times a male character, because there are more male characters in the roster.

Have you pressed the home button or put your PS4 into rest mode? Any time I do that, I get laggy matches.


They might be from levelling. I've reached the max so I can't tell but I thought I was getting them from winning battles.


You can unlock the first four story scenes from the main game. That's it, as there are no more available in Story Mode and you can't level up past 4.

Ooh okay, cool - i'll try it out.

Got through the tutorial. Seems like this could be pretty fun once you get the hang of it, but two things bother me. It seemed like it automatically changed targets for me to nearest foe. I was really close to incapacitating someone in the mock battle, only to have that character run away and as I was chasing the AI my target suddenly changed and said character got some free recovery time as a result. What gives?

The other thing that bugs me is the fact that you can't remap the jump button! Why are control types still a thing? Why do so many modern Japanese games insist on giving us preset control schemes?

That's cool. I'm guessing I got Y'shtola then based on the accent. Namco did something similar with Soul Edge.

I need to get a grasp of the flow of matches, because unlike something like Gundam Versus, nothing about this seems intuitive to me just yet.

Like, I have had a few matches where it seems like our team will get bodied all across the stage, they manage to get Bahamut out first, but then suddenly we win anyway?

You can literally take beating across the stage but if the opponent doesn't use a HP move to finish you off, it's all meaningless beating. Plus your teammates are probably doing stuff you can see from the other end of the arena.

Warrior of Light's EX skill makes everyone around him target him without being able to switch target for 12 seconds.
There's also a general EX skill with that effect that you get on 20+ player level.

Netcode seems a bit poor doesn't it? Getting matched with what must be people from outer space. Tried a few games with Ethernet plugged in too.

Anyway seems fun enough. Terra is great

The Tutorial Core match is incredibly hard, don't know if because your partner sucks, I suck, the opponent AI is great, all of them, or the mode is hard to master.

I had troubles focusing the opponent core without changing it into an opponent

Not really feel the gameplay. Its too chaotic and UI doesnt help either, guess I will skip it which is shame since I love Dissidia and 012 :(

Lots of issues plague this.

Laggy matches beyond belief.

Long matchmaking .

Can't back out of a matchmaking queue.

Casters seem weak AF.

Even with tutorials the game feels obtuse in explaining itself well enough .

Bad teammates sour the experience big time .

All in all hard pass for me. Maybe at less than $20 on Black Friday I would try this.

Online will be well and truly dead by then.

Ok then I'll never get it. Easy money saved.

Sorry but the asking price of $60 and this beta turned me far off .

This is for super hardcore FF fans only that have 0 barometer what makes a good game.

To thosewho can look past its numerous shortcomings they can enjoy if. I'm not one of them .

Played a bit more to at least see all of the story mode nodes.

I've gotta say, the lack of RPG elements from the PSP games is a huge letdown. The story mode is literally just spending points from quick matches to watch (poorly written, cringey VA) cutscenes. It's so fucking lame.

That being said, I'm getting the hang of the actual combat, with my only gripes being that knowing which bravery attack does what is super obtuse, if you can even remember the button combos for them, because you can't look them up mid-fight during offline matches or anything.

Oh well, I've passed on worse games that were of IP's that I enjoy, so I'll stick with my pre-order and see if they add to it meaningfully after release. God, I hate GaaS.

It's just a Final Fantasy style Smash type game. If it's not your thing, then that's cool. It is awkward at first.

Played the Beta for a bit, i like what i'm doing overall but two things that stuck out to me the most:

1. Target Switch feels pretty wonky, the delay after an input definitely needs another good polishing imo, especially when having to worry about an incoming target among hectic matches.

2. This is probably just me but the matches i participated so far end a bit too quick, maybe some type of round system would suffice. Not that i want matches to drag on, but finding a sweet spot so that they aren't over in a short period would help (maybe it won't be like this in the full game anyway?).

Overall, still looking forward to release, hopefully the more notable issues will be feasibly ironed out by then.

So I'm really conflicted on this game. The core combat, while different from the last 2 games, is still really fun. The 3 on 3 aspect on the other hand ranges from pretty decent when online, to absolutely terrible when playing offline.

I have been trying to play the standard gauntlet and I have yet to get past 4 fights because of how bad my teammates are. My last game over was because if them just standing around and attacking the core, while I get jumped by the entire enemy team.

Does anyone know if my teams ai will get better as they rank up? If not, atleast I'll know not to bother with single player in this game.

This is my first post btw.

Damn can the 30th get here already. I'm ready to play the full game. As someone who's played 012 I'm enjoying this game as well. I'm definitely all the way in on this game and hope it catches wind esports wise.

I'm starting to get a feel for how to use Lighting now with switching between Com and Rav but still need to get back to my 2 HP attack Vaan and then try out Noctis when he's available next rotation after that.
