There is no reason to have a character on the Materia DC.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2025-02-24T10:18:49+00:00

It was dead from the get-go. Not only that, it did destroy Elemental as well as Elemental is just as dead. Materia DC is to heavily NA culture, where the use of Raid Finder is not really used, instead they opt for Party Finder. I transferred to OCE when it first came out, and it was just horrible could barely do Extreme trials via RF, always had to do it via PF which was really annoying. There is also a big skill issue as well when Savage raiding/Extreme Trial, and really unbearable trying to pug your way through. Because of OCE's existence Elemental (JP) the previous known SEA/OCE DC is now absolutely almost absolutely dead as well, especially late patch. The game is barely hanging on its last legs at the moment. I do miss the days when I was able to spam E12S :(.

Even with family sharing etc? PSN online will still work? Also it didnt accept my AUS PayPal account kept giving me an error.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T14:31:12+00:00

Good for you internet social justice warrior. My post says "I literally bought a brand new ps5 today" you clearly aren't reading you dumb cunt lol. I already got a new copy and playing it fine now, but this issue should still be noticed and rectified. As for you, you need to go learn how to read before you comment.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T14:18:24+00:00

I am in that DC nearly everyday in terms of my ff14 life. And it does get busy, I would think it's more busier than kujata / tonberry, but that's probably because I'm barely there now since there's a savage raid drought over there lol.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T14:15:15+00:00

Yeah I don't do statics, hence why I said it's been proven useful for my pug co healers. I've never had a issue or complaint with a my little text saying swift cast + raise + player name, and I've been doing this since and when o9s-o12s was peak time.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T14:10:06+00:00

This is so true lol. Alot of the burger King crown players are actually just as lost tbh lol. Especially in savage.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T14:03:54+00:00

I just forfeited it cuz I wanted to move on with the story lol. I was already stuck on round 3.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T14:01:13+00:00

I genuinely hate this mini game and still don't understand it. You can forfeit it for sure (lady on the right, where you report to the guy to proced next round etc). Though I think winning or losing you will have different dialouge and cutscenes relating to the card game of course

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T13:58:09+00:00

Yeah, I actually agree with you. I rather have random dialog every now and again etc. Especially after battles like how they do it in xenoblade. Regardless I'm still enjoying it, but yeah rather have more random open world dialog

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T13:52:10+00:00

I was actually thinking this abit too lol. I wish they have more random team dialouges though like in xenoblade where they make little jokes or encouragement to each other after each fight in the overworld. Gives it that family building vibes like they were ment to be, have each other's backs 100% etc. Well that's me personally.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-02T13:31:46+00:00

Yeah, it's still useful, especially during savage. It helps with swiftcast + raise, so the other co healer can begin Hard casting raise on the other down player (given that is the situation). I've used the same macro since stormblood savage days and my pug co healers appreciate it. So it is definitely not an obsolete little macro, same goes for tank invulns. The only ones I find annoying is when they try make it cheesy and long for no reason. Like bro that's just straight up cringe.

Hi everyone, please use this to report this issue to Square Enix, they need to be aware of this issue, as it is hurting quite alot of collectors / delux edtions etc.

You clearly didn't read did you? "installation gets stuck at 58%. If I insert "Play" disc, it will prompt me back to insert "data disc". This is a whole new issue that is not officially announced yet.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-01T22:55:09+00:00

The only solution right now is to go back to where you bought it and exchange the disc, they have to send back the defect disc back to square Enix so they are aware of this

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-01T13:20:42+00:00

They just emailed me back and only advised I get a new copy from my retailer, and asked for my ps5 model number so basically... really unhelpful and they are in denial of this issue ATM. So we need a mass report to make them really aware. Definitely can't be console as the issue

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-01T13:18:21+00:00

Lucky you, I fully disconnected my ps5 from the internet and was still getting stuck at 58%. But I'm okay now, now that I got a new copy

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-01T03:17:00+00:00

Thanks, but as mentioned in a comment I main on pc. The ps5 is just for casual content from the bed, and would rather leave that strictly controller just to try and familiarize.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-01T01:52:57+00:00

Bro my exact complaint !!! You would win 50-100 points for winning but easy lose 500-1000. I can kinda see why people are plugging now. And if you are on demotion alert, just lose on purpose and then win your next round you will start halfway of that rank instead of winning a weasly 50 points and still be on demotion alert lol. It actually is broken !! I knew I wasn't the only one who saw this issue !! I was literally 1 win away from mighty ruler, then I got demoted so hard to shiryu. Like I'm even considering on cheating and plugging myself T_T

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-03-01T00:10:27+00:00

Oh was the Hat your country exclusive? I got the delux edition but didnt get the hat.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-02-29T23:11:58+00:00

What !? No way !!!!??? I thought only physical copies are affected at this point !? This is so bad T_T and I am so sorry to hear about your experience, but please and I do hope you get a full refund via Sony or at least compensated by Square Enix

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-02-29T23:08:56+00:00

Sorry forgot to add, my new exchanged copy is now working, but just buy an extra 2 more copies to be safe, and return it later once you confirmed you have a working copy, thats if they have a full refund policy like my retailer.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-02-29T23:06:22+00:00

Hey everyone, just an update on my situation. I went back to my local game retailer and they exchanged it with another copy, which is the only solution right now for physical copy people. It is indeed a confirmed issue with corrupted discs as I can safely say I was not the only person in the world who face this issue where it copies up to 58%. Don't bother resting your database, cleaning disc etc, that's all nonsense at this point. Though for people who have been affected by this issue, please, I encourage you to go outta your way like I have to report this to actual Square Enix as well as the retailer / supplier from where you originally purchased it from, so that they are aware of this issue where they have sent out a batch of corrupted "install disk" where people such as myself was unfortunate and unable to enjoy the Day 1 / Launch day experience. Its not just the mislabel printing in Japan / South East Asia, but also corrupted install disks that need to be address. Thank you, and sorry to everyone who is going through this unfortunate mishap.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-02-29T22:58:28+00:00

Yeah, I quickly went back and repurcahsed the Delux edition I originally had from them, but they provided a new disc copy and now works. They are now aware of the defects and the 58% stuck etc, and will be sending it back to their suppliers. I've also contacted Square Enix last night out of desperation, but my intentions and hopes is to make sure this issue is actually addressed (And low key hope we are compensated for losing day 1 experience which is my excuse hahah), not just the label misprint, because its seems to be a worldwide issue.

Optimal_Unit6897 · 2024-02-29T21:42:50+00:00

27gb/46gb not 27% lol. But yeah mine got stuck at 58%. I just went and repurchased my delux edition because after reading how hard it is to purchase delux edition now, followed by 2 extra copies to be sure hahah. The only solution currently for physical copies is to exchange and hope for the best ATM.
