WHY ARE THE SIDEQUEST FUCKING ERRANS???

WHY ARE THE SIDEQUEST FUCKING ERRANS???

Bump

Because it's an open world game and optional content in open world games are always shit.

Wasn't FF7 open world as well and the SIDEQUEST felt fun and not like a chore?

i'm getting one shotted by everything why ?

it's horrible.

>oh hey prince noctis can you go 200 feet that way and pick up some worthless shit for me?

Use your skills to buy three accessory slots for Noctis only, equip defensive accessories.

Is Ebony magazine really that good?

My biggest gripe with the game is the pointlessness of the side quests.

>Ignis: Noct! We have to save lady Lunafreya!
>Noctis: Talk about backseat fishing.
>-Proceeds to chase frogs-
>Gladiolus: Fucks sake Noct you cunt.

it also had only like two and you could miss them if you where not paying attention

not the same thing

GTA actually has proper side missions
Witcher 3 has proper side missions as well as fetches

There is no excuse

>teleport to car
>15 second loading screen
>teleport to quest location
>45 second loading screen
>take a minute to run to the quest item
>teleport to car
>15 second loading screen
>teleport back to quest giver
>45 second loading screen
>turn in quest
>pick up another one to do the same exact thing in a different area

How is this game a 82 on metacritic, again? I wasted my money on this shit.

Hold the box button you fucking bag of dicks.

I'm a few hours in and due to the fact that I started with all my party members and access to all weapon types and magic, I've seen all the combat has to offer me for the next 50 hours. How true is this? It's still fun for the time being but I'm not sure it'll keep up. Should I make an effort to not over level?

Even FFXIV has more engaging sidequests and that is an MMO with hundreds of side quests. How do you fuck up so bad on a single player game?

>get tired of loading screen
>start running across map
>there's a fucking stamina bar

at least chocobos were fun to ride but i'm not finishing this game

>teleporting everywhere.
Ya dun goofed. Explore shit nigger! Ride chocobos! Walk around!

Funny thing is, those reviews actually praise the side quests. Some even say it is the game's only redeeming feature.

>explore

Oh, boy. I can't wait to come across an elixir on the the ground.

People got so defensive of FFXIII that they'd praise any side content at all. For example, see people that enjoy the Gran Pulse section of the game.

I liked that they game kept me on the focused part of the story, personally.

The stamina bar isn't too bad. If you let go of run and press it again right as it is about to run out it fills back up again and you get a small boost. It doesn't work on Chocobos, though

Explore dude

...

This game is the easiest fucking FF to break goddamn.
Lasagna + moogle charms + expericast + hotel bonuses = enjoy your level 99 by chapter 3

Is this the first FF game that gives you a vehicle for transportation right from the start of the game?

Really missed the panic from past FF games when you wander into high level areas on the overworld by accident.

I'm at level 41 at chapter 3

You're high enough level to get into two dungeons that give you 20% exp boost accessories, and should have enough coins to craft a spell that'll give you 35k exp a cast if you level up your cooking to level 9. This game is screwed.

no

Damn.

shit man what gets me is how much easier everything seems than from the episode duscae demo. like the behemoth fight... wtf? there was a crazy multi-tier'd strategy you had to do, and they stripped it away and replace it with "SPLODEY BARRELZ"

wtf squenix... am i gonna alternate block and attack until i win the game? i don't even need to use magic and yes fuck the retarded loading times

Make sure you download the holiday bonus DLC to get the accessory that keeps you from leveling up at the end of chapters and while camping. That lets you stockpile exp while still progressing through the game. There's a hotel that offers 3x exp bonuses once you get to chapter 9.

yeah they just shove xp down your throat. "help" give a guy a potion "QUEST COMPLETE 500xp!"
