Thank you so much for this!
If you're in the U.S. like I am, download TunnelBear (free VPN) and set your location to United Kingdom. After that, you should be able to go to the website without being redirected.
If you already have a BN account, you'll have to make a new one, but you should be able to use the same email address since they seem to be completely separate accounts.

Edit: Doesn't look like the PS4 code is going to work with my NA account, but the Steam key worked without a hitch.

30fps lock on PC feels very bad.

Why'd you lock it? Can't keep a steady 60? Use RTSS if the ingame lock feels bad.

Why is the input buffer in battles like three hours long? Kinda defeats the point of making the game 60fps.

That should tell you all you need to know.

Played about a half hour or so...boy the lack of VO in some pivotal scenes is very jarring.

I was pretty pumped to hear Rowland say "it's a coupe!!" like he did in the original trailer, but then all it is was a text box.

Combat is fun so far and I won't complain about it being easy. And I'm pleasantly surprised by the 60fps on the regular PS4! Or at least I think it's 60fps. Buttery smooth.

This game is fantastic. Combat is a total blast but I'm already three-hitting enemies. Kinda lame but everything is so fun I'm not that bothered yet.

Whoever thought the paper craft was a good idea can go fuck themselves.

The world map camera is a little too zoomed out. Would have liked some options to zoom in.

Anyone knows where to find grass green thread?

For anyone saying the game is easy, wait until you meet tainted monsters.

I swear some of these attacks are already some of my favorites in any RPG. Just charging Evan and Roland's ranged attack(for their early weapons, not sure if they change) results in something dope. Roland's blue beam, man.

I can't wait! There are so many combat options, I want to really have to work to use them all.

Aside from the fact that there doesn't appear to be a V-sync option, the PC version seems great. I'm surprised it can run higher than 60fps, though I have a 144hz monitor, so turning that to unlimited and manually setting v-sync on for the game through the Nvidia control panel seems to work for now. Hopefully they'll add in a v-sync option at some point.

Oh I love it so far. I'm just heading into Cloudcoil Canyon. Loving Auntie Martha. The game is full of character. The overworld seems really cool and a sense of adventure. The spoken dialogue seems nice and it's a great shame it's not more common. That's the only real disappointment so far. The battle system seems fun and easy to get in to. Having a blast for the short time I've played it. It's nearly everything I wanted it to be after waiting so long.

And the King Edition is marvellous :)

Mine just came in, super stoked. I didn't realize the Collector's Editions were numbered

Somehow I got the Collector's Edition shipped to me for free...I feel like I'm tempting fate even opening it.

I just wanted to see how it felt if I wanted to do something like 4k30. no issues at 1080p60 but yea ill check out RTSS later

Spent a couple of minutes fighting that lv 50 dragon and his health bar had not visibly dropped. Yeah, I'll come back to it later haha.

You mean you ordered it and they didn't charge you? If so, the charge will go through eventually - the same thing happened to me.
If you mean you didn't even order it, then lucky you!

I figured this is the case. But it's already delivered, why would the charge still not be posted?

Well shit, game seems to be run perfectly fine for me at 1440p with a GTX970. Admittedly I'm still in the early dungeon but I haven't noticed a single dip so far, and I doubt it's gonna be THAT much worse later on.

And the damage multiplier codes seem to be working (almost) perfectly. Damage is multiplied (I set it so enemies deal double damage and I deal 0.3x damage and it seems like a nice starting point - will tweak further later on), though the floating numbers still show the original/wrong values. Not a huge deal.

No clue, but it's happened to me a few times in the past.
Maybe you'll get lucky, though.

Getting this on Tuesday. Really looking forward to it! Honestly, the length not being insanely long and the difficulty not being very high just makes me more excited.

I absolutely love it so far 4 hours into the game. It's charming, wonderful and really fun. But I hope it gets a bit more difficult, no fight has been any problem and I haven't had to use healing in a fight once. It's too easy so far

Still downloading because I forgot to initiate the preload before school -.-

Really been looking forward to this since it was announced, loved the first game outside of the combat so this should be perfect on my end.

Yeah, the 970 is still a little beast

damage multiplier? what is this

Seems like there are items that permanently increase your stats. Min-maxers, eat your heart out.

Oh actually a bit of a niggle for me is the banter that pops up doesn't stay on the screen long enough to read :(

Having more fun in this game with m+kb than controller. Make sure to turn off auto rotate camera, or you'll fighting against the camera the whole time.

This might be the most beautiful game I've ever played (outside the world map). I had seen screenshots and trailers before but holy cow on PC @ native res and max AA (I think it's TAA so there's no shimmering at all visible while playing, if slightly blurry) in 60fps it's absolutely jaw dropping, they really nailed the design, the modeling, the animations, the shading, it's all so damn good (and reinforces my belief arc system works should ditch the low fps look for their 3D games).

So the deluxe edition gave me these weird 1 gold items that are better than what I have already? I kinda hate that, didn't know what I paid for I guess haha. It seems like using the EXP accessory would trivialize things a bit too, so I'll avoid that for now.

Grass-Green Thread can be acquired in the area Rolling Hills or bought in Swift Solutions (the special vendor). I assume that you need it for a side quest in Goldpaw. Swift Solutions appears near the Luycky Stars Casino.

20 mins until I can play

2 hours in so far.. looks stunning on PS4 pro with HDR.. at least some effects do. Lack of VO hurts as fuck in some scenes.

I'm about 3.5 hours in and it's great so far. I echo the sentiments about the difficulty, it does seem pretty easy so far, but the gorgeous visuals and charming characters/world make up for that. Only real complaint I have is I wish there was a sprint button. The normal run cycle, especially on the chibi overworld is way too slow. Other than that, having a blast.

First immediate impressions: God damn this game is smooth and looks great. Makes me wish I had a PC capable of playing it in 4k and over 60fps since it seems to scale really well from what I'm hearing. Still though I'm on ps4 pro and so far very pleased with how it looks and runs.

I'm not far enough to make a judgement on difficulty since I'm still in what's apparently the tutorial area. I wouldn't expect much of a challenge in that part no matter what.

I don't know if I want to pop this in as soon as I get home or wait until Far Cry 5 and beat that first. I don't think I can best this game over a weekend. The last one I played through an entire spring break.

Also seems silly that strategy guides don't come out the same day as the game. I kind of want it just to collect it.

Seriously, anyone playing on the PC should check out the CE table (link below). Modifying damage (and healing) multipliers just like that is definitely not the ideal solution to make the game more difficult, but it absolutely made the very early game combat more engaging for me.

Unfortunately, since it's a CE table, you gotta remember to apply the multipliers again every time you launch the game. On the other hand, you can change them around literally any time.

It's a cheat engine table, grab it from here: http://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6294&sid=0a0ded33e6a39a356ee145b0c043ac0f

If you don't know what CE is and/or don't know how to use it, check this: https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Cheat-Engine

The values sounded a bit misleading to me - "Hero Damage Multiplier" is the damage you take, it's set to 2 for me so I (but not sure about my party members yet) take double damage. "Enemy Damage Multiplier" is the damage the enemies take, I've got it at 0.3 so I'm currently dealing only about a third of the original damage.

edit: unfortunately it seems like the table is still a bit glitchy. The guy who made it will hopefully fix it soon.

Only played it 1 hour. Oh my god the chibi world map is adorable!

In the beggining of the game, can you fight the enemies you are told to avoid? Do they drop any good gear?

Ooo, thanks so much.

10 seconds into the game

"what the fuck"

I love the visuals of the game, on par with part 1. Except: the overworld. What a pity that they did not
keep the same art style (like in NNK1). I hope I can get used to it, right now the overworld looks really ugly to me.

One thing that really bothers me. No pausing cutscenes. What year is it?

Now we can imagine how DQXI will play =(

Got this baby today:



















Can't wait to start tomorrow!

NPCs look neat!

NPCs look neat!

Anyone else have jarring pop-in textures while playing on highest with a 1080ti? Is there a way to fix it?

Also is there a way to lessen the input delay in combat when using a controller? Feels sluggish to block and roll.
