    Postman just left, I am final fantasy-less unfortunately. Smyths sent the dispatch email yesterday.

    Could dpd possibly deliver it instead?

    Someone ripped the audio for the game, so you can listen before the soundtrack is released in a few days.

    And there was me just looking for tunes to listen to to get me through the workday, they nailed the ost!

    Speaking of, I can imagine a lot of people humming this when their postie arrives with the goods

    Doorbell rang. Never moved as fast in my life as the postie never rings unless there is a package.

    Everyone can relax, my wife's makeup subscription box arrived.

    :(
    something similar here, doorbell rang, got down to see the postie at the house next door and said "Sorry, I rang your door by mistake"

    I'm 8 hours in. Although I am enjoying it I do find the reactor 5 stuff is excessively padded.

    I'm also disappointed in some of the visuals. Main characters look amazing and the combat looks great. But sector 7 looks weirdly last gen and uses a static backdrop image for the upper plate which I find a bit offputting. Reminds me of the Halo ring a little bit but in this fidelity it sticks out how the background is lower res than everything else and doesn't look right when you move the camera. Reminds me a little of how the backgrounds move in Duke Nukem 3D. It's not as bad as that but it's definitely not very good looking imo.

    There are things I think that are incredible about the game, like that Airbuster fight. I want to grab a recording of it when I figure it out. But assets are sadly very inconsistent and don't always give the impression that this is a AAA game. Especially next to the likes of what we've seen from God of War, Gears 5, RDR2 and so on.

    Yeah, some poor texturing here and there. There is a bit early on with a guy looking at a high res poster, when the cutscene ends its a low res PS2 like blur. Also the
    door on the apartment looks much lower quality than the rest of the room
    .

    Noticed that too especially the door on the room but I've read there's a day 1 patch ( out Friday I guess ) that will fix an issue with textures not loading correctly. Happening with some NPCs for me and certain posters / objects not loading their hi-res textures properly... or not loading them quick enough

    Super jelly right now. My most anticipated game in years and no PS4 to play it.

    How long is this PS4 exclusive for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭Mikiek14

    I can't wait a year. I'll just tip down to xtra vision and rent a console and the game. Oh wait it's not 1997 anymore.

    Ordered from Smyths on the 27th of March, dispatched Saturday and in the postbox today! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,559 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Did anyone get it from square directly yet? Never again ordering from the publisher since everyone else seems to have gotten their's already :(

    I honestly thought you'd be first to get it.

    Ordering it untracked was a mistake. half their website says it's not yet shipped and the other half says it is. I'd be fine if it just told me "You're getting it Friday", but it's the not knowing that's killing me.
