So far they've just been kill or fetch quests. Expand Yeah the quality of them isn't great. Just make sure if you skip any to still do the ones with a + sign next to them as they're the key items ones. 2
Hero-of-Time Posted December 20, 2023 Posted December 20, 2023 Completely forgot to mention that its great to hear a North East voice in the game. Gav the Geordie, as I now call him, is a welcome voice to my ears. I think the only time I can recall our accent being used in a game was The Order 1886. I know people have problems understanding the Geordie accent but you can't blame us for how badly that game done.
drahkon Posted December 20, 2023 Posted December 20, 2023 I'm back, a little tipsy and ready to play I wish performance mode was locked to 60fps. It's quite jarring at times.

drahkon Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Gotta say: Very disappointed with the open areas. There are no worthwhile rewards for exploration. Only crafting materials of which I haven't used a single one so far.

Its like they were put there purely because they needed some kind of open world in the game to please the market.

Happenstance Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Nah, games like Witcher 3 use the open world brilliantly. The entire place feels alive and you stumble across people living their lives, interesting stories etc. It's why I had so much of a problem with Breath of the Wild's open world, because I'd only just played Witcher 3 and it felt empty in comparison.

Thankfully, the combat is awesome and so much fun. I usually explore everything just to fight stuff But I would've loved some cool hidden treasures chests with better equipment and the sorts.

Hero-of-Time Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 The quality of the game really takes a nosedive during the second half. The epic scenes are now very few and far between, filler main sections that are nothing but fetch quests have started to become very frequent and boring traversal across the empty maps is happening more and more. The first half was pretty linear, very epic, fast paced and a very intriguing, all of which I was enjoying. The game has now slammed the brakes on, probably in an effort to stretch things out and add more hours, instead of just keeping things tight.
Happenstance Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 I had hit that point as well which was probably why I took a break. I think it's supposed to pick up again but I was definitely in a lull when I stopped.

I think it's supposed to pick up again but I was definitely in a lull when I stopped. Expand It's pretty awful. Had to do fetch quest after fetch quest in order to progress the main story. This kind of stuff should be optional but you are forced to do it.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Reveal hidden contents So, Bahamut is wrecking the place and downs Phoenix. He's just about to go for the kill when Clive unleashes a shield of fire and fights back as Ifrit. You are then forced into a boss battle to take down Bahamut. He proves too strong but Joshua is up and about again and now you play as Phoenix. This section is full on Panzer Dragoon style, which was amazing to play. After a while Ifrit is back in action and so you double team Bahamut. Again, he proves too much and just as he is about to fire the killing shot, Phoenix and Ifrit merge. The battle now goes up into space and its just full on anime at the point and I'm grinning from ear to ear. Massive Spirit Bomb style attacks are being thrown around and I'm hammering the square button in order to make sure I win. Hilarious and OTT stuff and it's what I'm here for. What a spectacle.
