Support NeoGAF

[Strings]

That Iron Giant fight is thrilling.

EDIT: Like, it's kinda cool they got this up and running (I guess? I still think it's a colossal waste of resources to stick it into this particular game), but it just really doesn't work with FFXVs combat system. Evading enemies etc is just way too unreliable to support this kind of mode.

 

[jipewithin]

So is this set in "that" 10 year period?

 

[MattAces]

Wait that's it?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Wait that's it?

How long was it?

 

[MattAces]

How long was it?

I have no idea. Finished 2 missions and the game thanked me for playing it, then send me back to home screen. But there seems to be 2 other missions still.

Yep. You play as

during that time period.

I had forgotten how flashy/cool the combat in the game looks lol. I know some didn't enjoy it but I had a blast with it.

This Chocobo outfit is gold.

I love the combat, especially in this when there's 4 people slashing with katana. But the camera is a nightmare.

Finding a match is such a pain now.

Finding a match is such a pain now.

It's much easier to create your own camp and get people to join than it is to find one already made IMO.

 

[MattAces]

Anybody else having trouble getting a game? Somehow I manage to start a match alone previously

How do I create my own camp


I'm going to try this again, restarting stream every time I have to restart the game.
Found the option to create camp!

 

[Enthus]

This character creator has way more depth than I expected, and that's with a lot of options being unavailable.

Wow, great hair.

 

[MattAces]

Alright I'm finally back in game, still streaming.

 

[Solid Sora]

I wasn't expecting much to be honest but this is really fun.

 

[benzy]

Seems to be up, I'm playing right now.

I'm streaming on youtube, and I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to post my own link? But my channel has zero monetization or whatsoever. Just search for Matthew Waey with the god of war symbol if you're at work and wants to watch it.

Edit: Looks like you're playing as

, seems to work similar to monster hunter, a main hub, quick join, mission select. The spells button are pretty cool, L2 + square for block and L2 + O for attacking spell.

Nice quality stream.

[StarVigil]

So if you're the Kingsglaive, is it a prequel to the movie? Didn't they all lose their powers?

 

[NoKisum]

How are those hair options looking for the character creator?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I just wanna say I hate all of you playing right now lol

 

[SoraanTribal]

Of course I'm out of town right now... How long is the beta lasting?

Came to this topic just to ask if female creation was possible.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Until August 8th.

 

[useyourfist]

I have the season pass but not ps+ anymore. Does anyone know if I can play this solo without ps+, I read somewhere about Ai team mates?

 

[benzy]

Wow, great hair.

Yeah. I think they made some npcs with the CC too. Characters can look pretty good.

 

[MattAces]

Alright.... that home screen sendoff

 

[Solid Sora]

Don't forget to equip a sigil, guys. I strongly recommend the Rouge sigil, since it allows for multiple side steps even with the Shuriken equipped (ala PD).

 

[Caim]

How are those hair options looking for the character creator?

9 total but only 2 available in the beta.

 

[Brix]

Honestly this looks fun. I may reup on the ps plus this month.

Damn, that's great.

 

[FriskyrumX]

Nvm figured it out.

 

[Solid Sora]

I'm really enjoying the tweaks they dead to the weapons moveset. They feel much more responsive than in the main game.

The new magic system is nice but they need to polish the effect and give it a better impact.

 

[Revolutionary]

Played two rounds just now. Laggy but fun! Looking forward to playing more later.

That looks better than most games without character creation lol.

 

[giancarlo123x]

These positive impressions make me want to buy the season pass and play. I already have 20 dollars in credit from those cheap psn card deals.

 

[Dragoshi1]

I like it, was paired with AI buddies though.

They were decent during the Big Cow slaughterfest, but during the Bomb raid on the little cabin? Not so much.

 

[jschreier]

Anyone else just getting "Unable to join" every time they try to enter a camp?

 

[True Fire]

Yeah. I think they made some npcs with the CC too. Characters can look pretty good.

That looks better than most Nomura designs.

I hope they add multiplayer enhancements to single player. It's my biggest regret with GTA V.

 

[Solid Sora]

Yeah you'll never get a game this way.

Choose "Custom" and create your own camp and you'll get a full party on seconds.

 

[Slaythe]

Man this is SO GOOD.

I made a Dante wannabe.

The IQ is abominable and it's on ps4 pro. But the gameplay is a lot of fun, feels like a tighter FFXV.

 

[The Last One]

Oh wow, this is a better Dante than the one from DmC.

 

[PshycoNinja]

That was fun but I have to get ready for work now.

Got destroyed on the Iron Giant, though. Though my online teammates weren't super great at the game. Almost had 'em. Now I am going to be at work all day wanting to get back to the game! Gonna be thinking about it all day.

 

[BadWolf]

Man this is SO GOOD.

I made a Dante wannabe.

Should have made Vergil, he is the one who uses summon swords

 

[Toth]

Tried a bit before leaving for work and it seems pretty solid for a beta. Offensive magic does seem a little weak though for the MP cost but overall, I am eager to play some more later and see what else is in this thing.

 

[The Last One]

BTW, XV spoiler

world of ruin is looking great in those pictures.

 

[jschreier]

Yeah I've tried all the options - none of them are working. Maybe the beta just doesn't like my internet.

 

[Solid Sora]

The events seem to take place

Spoiler

in the first year or so. The world is not completely in the dark yet, and Cor and Cidney still look the same as we left them.

 

[MattAces]

Also just want to point out, it shows in the friendlist as "fighting to bring back the light".
Hopefully there's some narrative or story going on in the full release.

 

[Slaythe]

Yeah I've tried all the options - none of them are working. Maybe the beta just doesn't like my internet.

It wouldn't let me in initially, gave me "an error".

I had to force it a couple times then it loaded. You stick with your partners for a while after that.

I didn't use custom stuff.

 

[Enthus]

Man, I hope when the eventual Complete release for this game drops they use this character creator to randomize the NPCs. You get like 30 different color options on different parts of your clothes.
