I really hate what SE did with FF last gen. XIII was ok. I mean, I didn't really like it but they tried something and it didn't hit with everyone and that's ok. But then they had to retcon their own ending to make a sequel about time travel and old gods and then they made another sequel (this time the ending making it very clear they weren't done) in which you go around saving people from the end of the world because God says screw it and wants to knock over his lego tower and build it again. We've had a generation where the high profile, big budget FF games were all in the same crappy universe focusing on the same crappy characters with a bunch of bullshit to get everyone back for the 'last' game.
I decided to order this game yesterday and screw SE if they do release an offical localisation and was excited so watched the opening on youtube. The game has more feels and urgency in the 10 minute opening cinematic than in all off the FFXIII "saga". Probably plays better than them too (though I gotta admit I did kinda like Lightning Returns battle system and dress up from the demo).
Wait, those are dudes?I really dislike the character design personally. Looks like a generic bunch deviantart dudes.

?_? Any what?
Yep. Every scene is available in the codex.
Is there any way to get this below two gigs after the patch, by deleting update files or converting to a CSO or anything? I ripped my UMDS when the release date was announced but didn't get around to getting my card/card adapter yet either.
Wait, those are dudes?
It's fake, the first logo is japanese, the other two aren't.Wait is this confirmed?
I haven't tried it but I'm going to say it won't work. m33-6 doesn't have the right UMD drivers to handle game sizes bigger than 2GB.
You'll need to install PRO CFW which includes the "Inferno" driver with which the game will work.
never forget
I figured out how to update my Vita TN-V to the inferno firmware...does anyone else have that issue, where they update to the latest but it just reverts to the original after a reboot?
Ah, thanks!Did you replace the TN-v files in the save folder on your computer.
If you update TN via WiFi, but don't update the files on your computer, it'll downgrade every time you add a new iso.
Does this game need multiple play throughs?aah i forgot how awesome odin is,can you get him on the first playthrough?

So far I've only run into one problem: upon approaching the Codex, PPSSPP crashes. Everything else runs very smoothly for me.

Who directed the pre-rendered cutscenes? They are fucking amazing!
Loving the game too, some of the bosses have been surprisingly hard. I've grinded a bit and yet I still get one-shotted here and there. Not exactly a negative though, just that this may very well be the second hardest FF game I've played, right after FFT.
Yep, they're easily close to PS360 quality, the only thing that hampers them is the unavoidable upscaling from the 480x272 resolution they were originally encoded in.
I've just got 7 hours in so far, and this is easily the best FF that I've played since X/XII over 7 years ago. I can feel the terrible taste of the XIII trilogy washing out of my mouth already, like a distant nightmare. I just can't put the game down.
Finally upgraded my old fat PSP from 5.00 m33-6 to 6.60 PRO C-2 and everything is working fine!
I have no idea what I'm doing but hey
Any tips on how? It's been years since I messed around with my psp.

I followed this guide: http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-softmod-hack-your-psp.293978/
Couple questions for those far into the game:
Will I be severely underlevelled if I skip the requests?
How do I use Cure on other party members?
What's the most efficient way to use up my free time?
Thanks!
Strange issue is occurring. Some effects make the screen go black. Dodging with Ace and some other moves do this,too. I haven't had this issue before. This started happening after downloading the latest dev-build of PPSSPP. Shadows are no longer white, so that is a plus, I guess.
Started getting this weird problem suddenly, where the battle twirl is all kinds of fucked up and at the start of the battle, the screens almost all red for a few seconds. Not terribly horrible but annoying, anyone know how to fix this? I did literally nothing, the game was paused (in ppsspp menu) on the background when I watched the EA E3 stream, came back and now it's like this
Try changing rendering mode to non-buffered. Earlier in the thread someone suggested doing the opposite but this fixed it for me...
I've noticed that too, but the abnormal effect can't be reproduced consistently, it comes and goes randomly. I was trying to get a picture of it to report the issue, but I can't get it to show red again.
Muntu, if you can get a decent screenshot of the specific abnormality, you can report this particular issue at the game specific ppsspp github issue page I linked to earlier on in the thread. Devs will take note and it will have a better chance of being fixed.
IIRC, it's on the screen before the mission, when you select your reserves and stuff.How do you equip the eidolon instead of the trinity attack? I can't seem to find it.
You can overcome this with a certain Rem ability.The worst mechanism so far is, that you have to sacrifice someone to summon an Eidolon. Wtf were they thinking?!
Why do they give me the ability to chose from 12 characters when in the end they almost force me to use a certain character. >-<You can overcome this with a certain Rem ability.

Rem's always in MY party for that reason. That and her awesome magic stats + party MP regen ability makes her indispensable.
Queen's mah best gal though. Dash FTW.
None of the dudes particularly strike my fancy except for maybe King and Jack.
