The beta requires PS+ since they want you to play online so they can test the servers. Final release lets you play solo with A.I partners without PS+ going from the official site info:
https://finalfantasyxv.com/comrades/

Beta: Choose from one of three quests, with up to three legs to each quest. All players will be matched online in the test version.

Full release: Explore quests with storylines as well as singleplayer quests. Join up to three other players online with a subscription to PlayStation®Plus or an Xbox Live Gold membership, or fight alongside three AI companions.

This is looking more interesting than the single player game.

They should go full GTA Online with this.

Is this still "hold circle to combo" and basic element magic like in the single-player? Because if combat was actually overhauled and magic was overhauled I'd buy the season pass to play this.

Every time I see screenshots and see the dark sky, I think that the MP mode
is taking place during the ten years Noctis is asleep, or at least toward the beginning of that time.
It this the case?

Just want to say that the hair reminds me of that horrific MLB 17 glitch where the player's face turned into a honeycomb that elicited feelings of trypophobia.

Yep. It appears to start right when it happens.

Here's an impression from the beta so far. Sounds like the combat is more action packed and better than the main game.

LordKasual said:
The combat system changes to this beta are pretty extensive. The main game would absolutely be 100x better adopting these changes.

  • - I have no clue why they removed Airstep from the royal arms in the main game. But since the Comrade characters can infinite airstep with the Katana / Shurikens, they already play more smoothly than Noctis currently does.
  • - I was expecting the animations to be the same as Noctis', but the comrade characters are also way more responsive with their weapons and cancels than Noctis.
  • - The magic system is also much better. Less flashy than Elemancy, but the offensive spell changing depending on the equipped weapon is pretty cool. Already more versatile than the grenades.
  • - The ability to heal me and my party members without having to pause and use a menu is amazing.
  • - The weapons and their special abilities are awesome. Very PSO-esque vibe i'm getting here. Everything feels somewhat unique.
  • - The "Sigil" system is pretty cool, a neat replacement for Ascension i think if it gets fleshed out.


Just fought the Iron Giant with 3 people and 1 AI. The AI got decimated pretty fast, but me and the others toughed it out.

It can't be understated how much better the game feels without being hamstrung to the Item menu. The inability to just Elixir away all your damage, and the ability to spend MP to instantly pick up your party members makes all the difference in the world. The Kingsglaive in this game feel better geared for battle than Noctis and friends currently. They should definitely roll these changes into the main game at some point, jesus christ.

The netcode could use some work though. It's not the worst i've ever played, but the desync at times can be jarring.

I know that you love the game, and its perfectly fine.
But some think otherwise. Personnaly, I wish for more Lore. I just want the story to feel somehow, complete. It doesn't right now IMO.
I could be proven wrong and I hope I'll be, but I don't think that the multiplayer content will do much to add to the story.
(And yes, I know Multiplayer was a promised thing when they talked about the season pass a year ago, I knew it was coming, it's not for me and i'm not complaining about that.)

He was talking about character creation. Context matters.

We did not start an argument about this.

Um...I was talking about the character creation. I'm sure many thought that character creation wasn't gonna have much options there. I did too. Especially since this was a concept thought about later on. Can you please point to where the story in my post is?

Your response to Stella isn't helping either.

So please, tell me about how my love for the game is impeding my desire for more lore.

I just want to play as Aranea. Can we have a whole game starring her?
She's basically Lightning w/ a better personality

It actually sounds like they removed most of my complaints about the combat system in the transition to multiplayer. Consider me interested, it's sounding great.

Wow, can't believe the game mode that showed female characters in the announcement screens has female characters in it.

They made a Chapter 13-2 a long time ago. They're adding little stuff here and there (like the invincibility suits this week).

There's still single player content to come out, though, in the form of Ignis' episode. I was a fan of the game back when it released, so I'm not at all saying it's not worth playing right now, but since you already waited this long, might as well wait some more for the complete package, imo.

Yes, but just for the beta.

I'd wait it out until Gamescom at least since it's less than 3 weeks away. SE has already said they'll be detailing more of the future support for FFXV. Outside of the multiplayer and Episode Ignis nobody really knows to what extent, if any, they are going to be adding to the game, but the survey they did in June did point to some major stuff, it's just a case of how much they'll do and on what timetable.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood your post. I admit that i was at fault there.
Was my response seen as agressive ? Because that wasn't my goal.
