Captain Oblivious posted:Yeah this is what I was afraid of. The difficulty curve is one of many reasons why I’ve overall had a much better time with Jedi Survivor than with FF16 overall. Thought it would be the other way around originally. The base game is really easy though. Especially if you learn all the Eikon combos that let you just delete enemies in seconds. It sounds like Final Fantasy mode just requires you to know those techniques, which is fitting since it’s the mode designed for die hard character action fans. (Granted I haven’t spun it up yet) When you start NG+ you’re allowed to select the two base difficulty levels again if you want.

I’m saying the game swings wildly between far too easy and still easy but with big HP pools and neither is good.

That just means combat goes on longer means you can pull off the sickest poo poo you ever did see for longer means its good, actually.

History Comes Inside! posted:I fired up ng+ just to see how FF mode feels and to get an idea of how it’s paced if you skip the cutscenes (it’s fast as gently caress lol) You need to change up your Eikon builds. Enemies have more HP but by that point you have enough AP to mix and match and can deal absurd damage if you are comboing skills together. Like unironically things died faster in FF than Action for me because having a full set of Eikons and knowing how to use them meant my damage output was absurd.

Higher rank hunts when you are a lower level are fun as gently caress, i did the flan one near high cliff and it was touch and go , i had a tiny amount of health left with no potions. It ruled. It has a electric attack that one shots you

Big HP pools that require skillful use of combos to eliminate quickly are a staple of the character action genre though? I mean maybe I’m making an unkind assumption of the other poster’s approach to combat and he is using combos and synergies well. But typically a boss in these games will take ages if you use the combo system well but evaporate if you do. Like, my problem with the base game is I can make even the S rank hunts just disappear with a little attack planning. The footage I’ve watched of other people playing Final Fantasy mode didn’t seem to have the bosses lasting very long.

Yeah I tried a few different setups of my favourite skills and everything still felt like it took too long to die, so I’m not gonna lose any sleep over binning it there. AEW Fight Forever unlocks in half an hour according to the dashboard and I’m gonna be playing that for the rest of the week instead, so finishing this morning was just serendipitous timing really.

I’m pretty excited to try FF mode when I’ve had more time off the game. Bosses that require careful combos to take down quickly but with deadly ads that make it tricky to do those combos sounds like exactly what I wanted.History Comes Inside! posted:Yeah that’s the gimmick Yeah, it’s pretty much necessary for higher level damage multipliers.

I guess if I knew how to play the game, I would be having less fun with FFXVI, if Bugblatter's posts are are anything to go by, but since I've got no clue what I'm doing I've had some hella intense as gently caress fights that really come down to the wire and I still feel like an ultimate badass pulling off the sickest poo poo ever. Game continues to completely own

And you can just put other items on the d-pad, I've unequipped my high potions and only use them when out of combat.

Oh yeah I guess I was equipping armor when I forged it, oops. I didn’t use consumables much at all. Except when I forget to switch the torgal controls because the game auto-switches the d-pad to consumables after every major cutscene!!! Anyway, I already wasn’t using the potions and I doubt armor would have been much of a solution in the same way that the ultra hard mode in Automata wasn’t a solution. Character action is more tony hawk than dark souls, you need encounter design that requires you to pull of combinations, not that melts when you do them. You can make enemies extra lethal to add pressure on top of that, but it’s not enough on its own. But FF mode sounds like what I want, so I guess I wish it or something similar had been available on the first run. Not only unlocked after I was a bit weary of the game. That’s all past though and it sounds like it’s gonna be fun when I do come back to it. Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Jun 28, 2023 |

I just got the third set of powers (just to give a note of my point in the plot) but Clive and Gav are definitely giving each other bedroom eyes right, like I'm not the kind of person to be like "oh they definitely want to gently caress" but like, Clive has more affection for Gav than he does for literally anyone else in the plot thus far.

Just did (level 32, desert) the Titan fight and jfc that was loving incredible what on earth how can they top that!!!!!! That was so worth the long wait since the last one, insanely cool Also loved how the music in the second phase was like orchestral/electronica nu-metal especially with those Freak on a Leash bridge vocals

History Comes Inside! posted:Yeah that’s the gimmick It feels weird, though, that this seems to mean you don't have much reason to master abilities if you plan on using their Eikon most of the time. Although I guess you can equip Phoenix and equip the mastered fire abilities to a different Eikon? Just seems a lot less useful than it oughta be, it feels like they were trying to make it like the FFV jobs.

Well think of it the other way around. Let's say there's a skill you really want to have but it's on an Eikon you don't want to use. Investing a little bit extra in that lets you put it on another one. Not having to spend points to Master for an Eikon you're planning on using is part reward and incentive to use it.

I noticed that you can fully refund any skill points with no penalty, which is nice, especially when you realize a certain ability set just doesn’t work for you after you put a bunch of points into it.

It’s also because you won’t have enough AP from a single play through to master even half the skills in total, so you’re expected to be juggling them around otherwise you might lock yourself into some absolute garbage (looking at you, most of the Garuda skills)

garuda’s skills are good workhorses even if they’re not too impressive visually. rook’s gambit will help you learn dodge timings for other skills to take advantage of down the line and the gale claws obliterate stagger meters
