lmao bro on consoles you are lucky if some titles to even have some sortof HUD customization, youre expecting too much, if its not there dont hold your breath theres nothing that will be done. Only place when theres hope is on PC with the modding community-

Lil bro you don't have a console so stop talking out your ass. Sony exclusives have been amazing with HUD and accessibility options.





I can post lots more, you get the picture.

Man the dumb chit gamers care about in 2023 lol

You can't be talking about me right. Removing HUD adds so much to immersion, especially with these beautiful worlds they've been making. Right now I'm running HUDless Elden Ring and it's glorious

Inb4 miscers decide to hate FF16 for putting a gay character in the game.

Even misc bigots still love this game

Have not unlocked gay yet

We outlaws now

this guy is amazing

86% through, according to PS5 home page, will probably finish the game next week, been playing too much lol. Still hitting the gym though at least. Have one more eikon to go, then got all the ability unlocks at disposal.

Don't click unless you're around where I'm at.

Spoiler!

haven't played since Friday lol

I'll finally have time this Canada Day Long weekend. Gonna be three days of playing nonstop (aside from lifting)

Yes I am buckaroo

Got to the hideout last night after finally getting some consistent time in.

Really digging this game so far. Time to start side-questing.

Also, equipped the ability that does the eikon attacks automatically and actually think it's annoying AF now that im getting used to attacking and tossing things together.

I just figured out after 14 hours that I can chain magic attacks to each sword swing, and now I feel like a dumbass. That's what I get for not reading everything.

Lolz. Yup. Thats why the auto eikon attacks are annoying. Im trying to plan attacks and then they just happen.

On your note, yeah you can just go magic/sword back to back and its solid. Makes me think i need to just pound ability points on the magic so when im at distance i can just lob that at them.

Yeah I was trying the rings ... That particular ring was aids, it made combat so much harder. I don't know how anyone could enjoy it.


What I have equipped is the ring of assistance which gets Torgal to auto-attack. Makes it a lot easier for me because micro-managing torgal while juggling your health potions is the worst fukkin mechanic. People better not be talking chit about Atreus in GOW after this game lol.


After the Hugo battle I also equipped the slow-down ring before an attack that allows me to dodge, because the combat system is kinda getting a bit stale for now esp with the sidequests and constant arena's of enemies ....

lmao if it’s not there it’s not there , square Enix is not going to update it even if you cry and whine. Get over it.

Also PlayStation for life , can’t get rid of this console just for the sole purpose of these exclusives.

Does Clive bang his sloot companion?

Beat the game, took 36 hours. I wasted probably 8 hours on side quests btw. I did literally every one. Skipped dialogue, eventually skipped cut scenes during them, all it did was suck up my time lol. Would recommend solely doing the "+" side quests for the potion buff, unlocking chocobo, and some other upgrades.

Didn't do half of the hunt board, didn't do any of the eikon trials.

The story, cinematics, graphics, will probably make this game a GOTY for everybody, not that there's too much competition this year. Diablo 4 will get more hours out of me than FFXVI ever will, but that's just because of the nature of online ARPGs and the seasonal content and chit.

Ending spoilers below, got some thoughts on the ending. Don't read if you haven't finished yet

Spoiler!

I rate it a 8.5-9/10 overall, but 10/10 story. The game gives the players a lot of choice with the eikons/abilities, but the RPG, crafting, looting, felt pointless. The combat triangle archetype is non-existent which is obviously intended but I would've liked a "mage" or "archer" combat style choice (not just relevant eikons while still needing to melee as the primary). There's performance issues, bad framerates and the sort at times. Awkward jank that happens in the non-cinematic in-game dialogue and such. And a lot of the side quests felt uninspired or predictable... with some diamonds in the rough here and there. Getting through them felt more like a chore with usually lackluster prizes at the end of it all. The main story makes you care though. I sometimes felt like the main story might've been too long for its own good though, like maybe if there was one less zone/nation/eikon, it would've felt like less of a slog. The game's probably 25-30 hours long if you just beeline the story (unlike me). Then I guess you can double that if you play NG+. And maybe add another 10-20 if you actually do all the eikon trials, hunts, and pay attention to every side quest.

I think the things that bother me about the game (particularly lack of care for the RPG/crafting/looting/economy) will prevent me from messing with NG+ and just consider the chapter closed at this point.

Definitely worth the money. And I can't think of a game with a more gripping story in recent years... that I finished at least.

Just got to the last 5 year time skip after some sad & epic moments. How far in the game am I?

The game has a prologue, followed by three acts.

Prologue is 13 years old, quests 1-6.

Act 1 is 28 years old, quests 7-26.

Acts 2 and 3 are 33 years old, quests 27-68.

You're about half way there in terms of main story quest count. But you'll find lots of hunts, and a dramatic increase in side quests, start to pop up. So if you do all of that then you're still under half way.

At the PS5 home page, when you view the game, one of the numbers it shows in the game info is how far you are into it, as a %. Really small number on the right.

Looks like this (not my picture, found in Google):

About half, long way to go. Still don't have most the eikons yet at that point

Man how are some of you finishing this so quickly. I've only just beat Hugo lol.

Thinking of picking this up but are PS5s still overheating from this game?

Hasn't happen to me yet.

So just finished up Titan.

Goddamn, motherfukkers just going crazy with the spectacle.

no lifers lol. Even I have only beat Hugo, went out of town for a few days but will play more this week.

Happened to me once, ps5 overheat and said I should turn it off, but I just paused for a bit to cool it down. Happened at a very random time to, wasnt a crazy big fight but I was using limit break a ton

Finally got some time to play.
Game opens up quite a bit when you get Jill in your team. The open areas look great.

I just beat the "Shadow" in the lower ancient temple place.

Between that battle and the Garuda battle, haven't had my PS5 overheat yet. And I probably played like 8-9 hours straight lol

Starting to get a hang of the battle. I usually suck at action game but instead of button mashing, I went about the game like a fighting game and hitting buttons to go into certain combos. Using Controller Type C. Garuda's grappling hook move is so much better than Pheonix's fire dash thing.

I am also playiglng on Graphics mode. Ive pretty much gotten used to it and the motion blur doesn't affect me anymore. I'll probably stick with graphics mode to the end.

I just did the titan fight and no overheat. I don't know why it happened to me that one time but the titan fight is pretty insane so if it didn't happen I don't expect it again.

You're still very early mane

When you walk into the nurse’s office and Jill is sitting there topless…

Jill rising up the ranks of FF girls for me.

Just did the Titan fight last night. Was crazy.
