Wierd that the game is letting you take photos now.

I think my favourite outfit is 'Another Eleanor'. I like the formal black coat!

I entered one spot where I could, it was like a side area thing, but I still can't take them anywhere else >_>

ALSO apparently there will be new DLC every week.






There goes my money

Finished up the events at Palamides last night.

(SPOILER) Didn't expect the plot to get that heavy. A girl was turned into a daemon by the Abbey and ate her own mother. Wow.

Much as I am loving this game some of the dungeon design is... um... poor. In fact most of the dungeon design is pretty bad.

'Use a switch to open a door somewhere' is nothing new to games. Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Resident Evil are all very famous for that being the foundation of their puzzles. But here I have a sealed area and a switch right outside it. I flip the switch, the seal goes away.

Eizen: "Must be part of their security system".

If I were designing a security system I would put all the door switches on the inside of the gate. Just a thought. Tomb Raider et al get away with it because they hide their switches away in difficult to reach areas and behind puzzles. It creates some interesting gameplay. Here... not so much. The most elaborate it ever gets is having to walk to the other side of the room to press the 'open door' button.

I am very much slowing down so I can HOPEFULLY get my favourite DLC set before I finish the game

It's hard though ;__;

[Fox]

FULL PARTY GET!

I feel so bad for Eleanor. The Abbey's evil. My team is full of ruthless killers. She's the only kind-hearted person involved in this whole mess!

[Pumpkin]

MY FAVOURITE SETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO MUCH MORE HYPEEEEEEEE

[Scruffington]

I think I'm close to the end of the game now. Just left the Earthpulse.

This game's story and characters are incredible. Easily the best RPG I've played in a long time, probably since The Witcher 3. Have to commend Namco for their emotional storytelling and having such a unique and "real" main character.

[Shoden]

I've not long since finished the game, I'm on NG+ right now as I missed a fair chunk of the game in side quests I feel but even so the main story is absolute fantastic. Game as a whole is probably one of the best RPGs I've played and easily makes up for the lack of bite that Zestiria had! Loved the cast and the interactions between them all throughout the entire game.

[Scruffington]

Finally beat the game.

I'll be writing a full review this weekend, but man. Easily one of the best JRPGs I've played this decade. Maybe even the best one I've played since Final Fantasy XIII seven years ago. Fantastic characters and story.

[Fox]

I'm still plodding along... so annoyed I was ill over the weekend so couldn't get in the mood to play.

Steam says I have 34 hours so far. I've broken it down: 20 hours of actual play time. 4 hours of alt-tabbing whilst paused. 10 hours watching that GLORIOUS OP

[Pumpkin]

I just finished the section where you go back to (SPOILER)Velvet's hometown. Gosh those feels Also the town right before that with all of the stairs is my fav so far, would so live there.

I'll share some more outfits with you guys soon!

So who are/were you guys maining? I use Eleanor with Velvet second. The comp can't use Velvet, unfortunately. She keeps draining all of her life -_-

My main party was Velvet, Eizen and Rokurou with Magilou and Eleanor being changed constantly as the fourth member. Laphicet is probably my least used, but since I'm on NG+ I've been using him more. Him and Magilou are great for clearing out tons of mobs.

Currently going through the bonus dungeon right now.

[Pumpkin]

Are you guys ready for MORE OUTFITS?!?!

So for the first one, I let sharky pick the outfits and he ingeniously stumbled upon hangover Velvet. Normal Velvet = Badass, quest for revenge

Hungover Velvet on the other hand


Had a bit too much to drink and just wants to get some waffles.

Speaking of Velvet, she got a new hairdo which you will quickly see that I love.

Pirate Velvet


Cute dress and great boots Velvet


I call this one Daddy-long legs Velvet


Handsome Laphicet


Eizen is looking quite dapper


Eleanor as a pirate and also another super cute haircut


A Pumpkin original that I like to call the sexy pirate nerd


AND NOW FOR MY FAV NEW OUTFIT AND FAV HAIRSTYLE IN THE WHOLE GAME
Drumroll...

[Scruffington]

Those Pirate Velvet and Eizen costumes look pretty good. :P
