I'm pretty sure you could repeat them in the demo. There were definitely a few that I didn't do that popped up in a later battle. I'm assuming the game just randomly generates those and you either get them or you don't.
I've heard wildly mixed impressions about the story of the second half. I'm not getting the impression it's a truly solid experience. I hope I'll think it is, of course, and I can be a somewhat easy please when I want to be, heh. But while some people are into it and at least there seems to be moderate consensus that the bulk of the last few chapters is pretty good, a lot of people are not thrilled.
So far they have never reappeared when I failed to complete them.

How would everyone playing already rank it amongst other ff games you've played?

Hmm, I mainly just don't want to miss chances at getting AP to learn new skills lol
Some of the AP bonuses are so small it doesn't really matter. I completed one and got 1 AP for it -_-Hmm, I mainly just don't want to miss chances at getting AP to learn new skills lol

Obviously a massive hyperbole but a shitload of people seem to have the game. Getting impatient

My friend had it crash once so far in his playtime up to chapter 3.

Think of it this way: a lot of reviewers don't even have copies yet.

That's pretty strange... then again I don't think it's all that surprising considering all the stuff they're patching in at the moment (or maybe that has nothing to do with it, idk).
Hasn't crashed but I get some weird graphical glitches when Prompto uses his ability or when I complete a parry. The screen gets all pixelated for a second. Playing in the pro in high mode which I think is the issue

It does feel like a lot more people (at least online) have gotten this early compared to the other AAA titles I've followed the last few years.
i don't think that is true for any major site....
And with so many people having it, i expected more impressions by now!

Any you guys playing care to add me on psn? Would like to check out screenshots and such. PSN: plbelanger
Obtuse answer:
Clarification (Thanks)
Sorry for the roundabout answer - I don't actually know what's downloadable right now, but that's one surefire way of telling. This should play when walking around the field in the morning without getting into combat or opening the menu.
Maybe they are cracking down on certain 'smaller' sites or reviewers that were very critical of their games in the past? I don't know why they are being that way considering the positivity the game has been showing in early previews and now within the impressions.
Well, it seems that parts of the Crown update are live, whilst others are not.
For example, the current version does not have the Gallery section displaying Ignis's cooking and Noctis's fishing information yet, but it has the monster whistle and some other features.
Bizarre stuff, if you ask me.
Oh damn, so the final patch might not be released yet? I wonder if it'd include the camera adjustments, or if the current patch already does. That's my biggest worry at the moment.

What's the dif between the tracks? Sounds the same to me.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
As long as it's not:
1. Cringey like Star Ocean 4
2. Confusing and convoluted like FFXIII
3. Incredibly short and unfulfilling like Star Ocean 5
Then it gets an OK in my book.

1. I didn't mind Star Ocean but I feel FFXV is way above it so far in that regard.
2. So far I've found it much easier to follow then XIII by a long shot
3. Well I'm sure it depends on how much you do in the game but seeing as I'm just over 6 hours and only still in chapter 2. I think it will last me plenty long.

Okay, hype returned. I'm convinced this will be a good game now, maybe not all time amazing but enjoyable.
Also I heard that there was barely anything to FFXV before Tabata took over and the development was kind of a depressing shitshow and the team working on it had incredibly low morale so why do people assume Nomura's vision wouldve been better?

For anyone that has played the full game and likes the combat, can you explain in detail why you like it? What is it that you think makes it enjoyable?
I've played the Judgement demo for over an hour. I don't see myself enjoying the combat much based on that.
I have already written off the story as ranging from mediocre to trash. So I would like to determine whether or not at least the combat can be good enough.

Some people just prefer what the trailers showed of the game back with Nomura was in charge.
this may end up being my favorite ff ost.

Random battles I recorded, simple edited together, not cherry picked, and running on PS4 Pro High Res. https://youtu.be/ZVyCjYclPe0

Weird. I can see Ignis cooking, Noctis fish and Prompto photos in menu. But I don't see any bestiary for monsters though :/
i'm assuming this was recorded with hdr on because everything is blown out on my monitor.

It is a link strike that occurs randomly, I think.PSY・S;225417926 said:
She doesn't really fight, she'll just help the team by healing them or just cheering them on. She'll use the moogle whenever you do a link. And yea she just smacks the enemy with it. It's cute too cause after she does it Noct pats her on the head and she twirls.PSY・S;225417926 said:

Do you think it's better to watch Kingslaive before buying the game ?
About 15 hours in, so take what I'm saying with that context.
There's a fair amount of depth involved in the combat that you're just flat-out missing in the Judgment demo unless you speak JP. Link attacks, for instance, make positioning Noctis important on more difficult enemies. They do more damage and have a higher chance at knocking off appendages.
Beyond that, there's a heavy bit of tactical usage of the Warp and Warpstrike going on to keep Noctis in the fray as much as possible while retaining movement. Once you get good at it, Noctis is zipping around the battlefield.
Enemies are weak to different weapon tpes so you change them around mid-combat to make sure you can actually kill stuff. Along with that, there are different strikes associated with holding a direction. For instance, if you hold O and Left/Right on the L-stick while fighting, Noctis will dodge around an enemy to help you get behind things easier. Each weapon has 3-4 different "combos" it can do.
Allies get more link specials that increase their utility. Ignis' Regroup is a lifesaver whilst Gladios' Dawnhammer does NASTY damage and can stagger an enemy.
On the topic of stagger: If you break certain body parts (by targeting them) on larger enemies you can induce a staggered state and that allows you and your allies a period of freetime to do a lot of damage.
Then there's the Elemancy/Magic--and it's the biggest thing you're missing in the demo if you don't read Japanese. The depth involved in making appropriate spells is pretty interesting. You can add things like Stop or Quadcast or Poison to the Fire/Blizzard/Thunder spells as well as turning them into personal cure spells. Once you get enough magic slots you can have situational magic ready to be equipped whenever you need them.
All-in-all there's a lot going on and it's far more complex than the demo makes it seem. Keep in mind it's on easy, so there's absolutely no challenge involved. The full game can be incredibly challenging, even on level-appropriate (or below your level) monsters. If you're looking for P* combat you won't find it here. It's probably my favorite ARPG combat that isn't mash-y but I think a lot of people will continue to think of it as KH2-like and I don't think that's 100% wrong. It's different but still similarish.
My recommendation is to watch Kingsglaive and Brotherhood, yeah. It gives things better context and helps you gain some attachment to the world that--admittedly--the game doesn't do a fantastic job building initially. The dynamic between the four is great but it's all the game is banking on so far, really. That and some smaller levels of intrigue. It reminds me of a D&D/tabletop game in that regard. Worldbuilding/Plot happens very slowly while character interaction takes the forefront for a while.
That and Brotherhood is what I was advised to watch before playing.
100% yes
