It plays for the first time at the very beginning of the game when Titan's arm breaks through the rock wall and starts the rockslide.
The second time I heard it is when Hugo has his first big emotional meltdown. It plays behind that whole monologue.

Agreed. The game is barely acceptable on a technical level IMO
This is the first game I've played in graphics mode on my PS5. Im a FPS guy usually.
That said it hasn't bothered me at all.
What an amazing looking game

Thats exactly how Im feeling too. I feel people who swear by performance mode are missing out on some amazing visuals and vistas.
The graphics mode honestly feels smoother than traditional 30fps to me.
I'm ashamed that I missed it.
Have there been any other XIV musical references beside this, Garuda, and the Eureka theme being in one of the battle themes?
Sensible chuckle when I cleared my tenth hunt (apparently, wasn't tracking) and the Think, Mark! trophy popped. Definitely the XIV team.
There's another XIV musical quote that plays in the background of some cutscenes featuring major Sanbrequois NPCs and during exploration in the Caer Norvent dungeon. I can't remember exactly what track it's quoting but it may also be from a different part of Eureka.
Put me in the camp of people who like the laid-back simplicity of the side quests. Considering the insane things you can do in combat and the scale of some of the fights, it's nice to just serve soup and hear about what random Branded have endured and how they feel welcome now. That's actually kind of lovely.
Just started but maybe that's the aim so you can cool off and have downtime instead of constant action?
I'm not bothered by the 30fps at all, but with Graphics mode it's the godawful Motion Blur that ruins it for me.
Yeah I just passed this part myself and it absolutely blew my mind. Could not believe what I was watching.
I thought that sidequest was so lame until you finished and got the context behind it. Then I was like 🥹. Loved the world building even though the quest itself is very simple.
Fully on board the Gav crushes on Clive train. Dude leaves lingering glances throughout the entire game.
I'm about to do my first S Rank hunt and I'm nervous. Still not fully settled on my latest Eikon load out and I should probably practice more in Training Mode but I'm too impatient. Getting ready to have my ass handed to me.
Yeah. The second Active Time Lore entry for Gav says that Clive rescuing Gav at the Kingsfall created an unbreakable bond between them, which can really be read either way - as Gav being Clive's best human friend or Gav being into Clive.
The Hideaway is so cool, I'm caring a lot for these characters.
When Clive gets his power of friendship moment, I just know it's going to hit me like a truck emotionally because hanging around in the hideaway and doing these quests, I know Clive has the best of friends alongside him.

I am a Dark Souls fanatic and have beaten most of them and I find the combat rewarding and challenging in it's own way. Not super difficult, but I have to think when fighting mid-boss and boss fights at least. Maybe because I haven't played a DMC like action game in over a decade? Souls gameplay cadence is very different.
I usually play in graphics mode, but the motion blur was actually making me feel sick. Why can't I turn it down or off?
How much more am I missing:
Wondering if I can reach it today.
Also, is there a clear point of no return before the ending? Given the structure of the game I assume so (I imagine the final dungeon and boss will be an event on the map), but wanted to make sure. I might run towards the ending so I can finish it before going back to work (I have a 2 weeks business trip in Japan this week ffs) and then leisure around with the rest of the content whenever I can later.
Ijust had the sex scene on the beach (omfg!).
I assume now it will be about destroying Waloed's MorherCrystal and then a final run towards the final dungeon.

I am glad that this game doesn't shy away from implying (and showing) same sex romantic interest
AND
I also appreciate stuff like Clive showing unalloyed and genuine gratitude to his male allies, like Gav. It is an extremely underrepresented dynamic between men in media, especially vidjagames.

I bit the bullet and played on graphics mode. The motion blur annoyed me at first. I didn't think I could handle quick action at 30 fps. I play the majority of my games at 165Hz, so it was jarring. But my brain adjusted over time. Game looks and feels great to me now, until I go to another high frame rate game heh. But it's certainly a lot less distracting that the erratic frame pacing of the performance mode.
I wonder if some of the RPG element complaints would have been quelled if you had gotten access to more Eikons earlier.
I've said previously in this thread that the RPG elements and build in this game most closely resemble FFV, but FFV gives you the vast majority of the jobs roughly a third (maybe half) of the way through the game.
You absolutely have choices you need to make with Clive's build in this game, even in terms of accessories and how they interact with your moveset, but those choices don't really come that much into play until you get at least four Eikons and that's, what, 50 percent of the way through the game?

Despite the pre-release complaints about edgelord dudebro Clive, the men in this game, Clive included, actually tend to be very emotionally open and vulnerable. Multiple times men have been shown weeping or being genuinely affectionate toward one another, and its never treated as impugning on their masculinity. I love it. It reminds of Tolkien's stuff in that way.
The way Joshua goes on one knee to kiss Mid's hand upon their first meeting in Kanver and everyone being SHOOK was hilarious.
And Mid hugging Dion at the end while he fumbles and awkwardly pats her back sent me lol. She's so fun.

This game reminds me a lot of RDR2. So much of its game design seems boring on paper, and a lot of the early hours especially can be kind of boring, but then the further you get in it, the more you see how those early hours set up really compelling story moments later on, and the better and better the experience gets. To the point where, like with RDR2, I can even see myself going back on a replay and really enjoying the opening hours of this game, knowing where things are going, and enjoying the state of the world and the characters at that time.
The game will explain it to you at one of the Hideaway vendors that opens up shortly after you start accruing it
The green resource you start getting from sidequests in the adult era is Renown. The game will explain it to you eventually. It's kind of jarring how you start accruing it before the game tells you what it is, lol.
The scene where he meets his uncle is like... man, anyone who calls Clive a generic edgelord early Berserk Guts-like figure is just fucking wrong
Just as an aside, I appreciate how god damn fast this game loads.
Like PS5 menu to game menu to in-game in like under 10 seconds total.

Yeah. Like I said in the other thread where you posted this, I think it would've been nice if using fire magic on Bombs had the same effect it had on them in Stranger of Paradise - making them swell up and then Self-Destruct early.
yeah for some reason I wasn't really noticing it when fighting other fire monster or other stuff, but the bomb just stood out because I do have lots of trauma with bombs from previous games in the series I guess lol. Like fire doing damage to Ifrit didn't stick out compared to fire doing damage to bombs lmao.
I wouldn't be surprised if they left this alone for the normal playthrough and added more elemental affinities and whatnot in a NG+ mode somewhere.
that's one nice way to do it. I only encountered bombs once so far, but do they have self-destruct in this game as well?
