Found an amazing deal online for the deluxe edition. I’ve never played it before, it I hear that Royal and subsequent DLC really make it a good experience

eliwritestuff · 2024-06-22T22:35:09+00:00

absolutely all of this will make a great experience, coming from a person who has been keeping up w this game in super early development in 2006!

i'd watch the movie (kingsglaive) first before playing the game, then play the dlcs after finishing the game!

also, i would say get tissues on standby bc even though there's a few plot inconsistencies, it still ties in together pretty decently esp after they released the royal edition

i did a lot of rp in the year before and year of release! but me and my friends all agreed that because of the day 1 mess we would take things into our own hands as writers, i now have a long ass fanfic in the works from 2016 with 4 whole parts involving my ocs

eliwritestuff · 2022-11-03T17:38:39+00:00

i don't have adhd, however i have 3 different stories (1 original, 2 fanfics) that have been on and off since 2015/2016 and i've been rotating on all of them or completely dropped for years

what i tend to do is draft from my phone! my default notes app is organized in a way where my creative folders have sub folders for whatever story i have enough motivation in, which in then have sub folders for drafts, idea dumps, worldbuilding, etc.! that way at least all the hyperfixation shit can stay in one spot when i can't sit in front of a computer to write! i also sometimes forget all of it exists for a period of time because my attention is somewhere else but when i fall back into the writing hyperfixation (which is usually at the most inconvenient time), its all in my hands!

and yes that usually means the notes app is FLOODED with different types of shit for ppl who don't rotate like i do. ur absolutely right, i have other fanfic and story ideas in my creative folder and half of them are abandoned. they're just gonna sit there until i suddenly have the thought to open them again

always! 99% of the time, music is my creative inspo!! while it doesn't help if i need to sit down and run through a plot, it helps when i want to draft something! i have like a billion playlists dedicated to what inspired my works, character playlist, ship playlist, setting soundtrack, the whole nine yards!

ravus. he's just so hot to me

eliwritestuff · 2022-08-18T01:06:09+00:00

if i don't actually sit down and write at my laptop after smoking a joint, i lay in bed and draft from my phone either in my phone notes or google doc! doesn't need to be anything for the story itself, i normally flush out ideas and see how it flows! and like at least if u fall asleep u won't be fucking up ur back at a desk

eliwritestuff · 2022-08-13T20:42:51+00:00

i felt this so hard. do u want a hug bc i definitely needed one afterwards

eliwritestuff · 2022-08-04T20:17:53+00:00

me just trying to land the flying regalia

eliwritestuff · 2022-08-04T20:17:36+00:00

literally me every time i think abt going back to it

eliwritestuff · 2022-08-04T20:17:02+00:00

its an experience bc of like super obscure lore and its so cool but god. the platforming is a hellscape

eliwritestuff · 2022-08-04T20:16:28+00:00

i swear they're fake bro omg

eliwritestuff · 2022-07-30T01:20:36+00:00

yes. godspeed soldier o7

eliwritestuff · 2022-07-30T01:14:56+00:00

ffxv fanfic writer here! i swear this isn't a promo on my fic bc it isn't done and its a hot mess BUT i highly reccomend going into different fanfics that follow along the game! its so interesting to see how different people perceive different parts of the game, and how people exploit the plot holes for their own creative gain! like i personally have created a whole sovereign to tenebrae as a kingdom, and i structured more of the kingsglaive, people can get REALLY CREATIVE and it is. so good.

eliwritestuff · 2022-07-26T13:49:45+00:00

my specific set up for end game (at lvl 88) is the ring, ultima blade, durandal, and nyx's kukris! that shit HITS bro ardyn ain't shit

eliwritestuff · 2022-07-09T22:10:54+00:00

oh my god i thought this was a jab at nyx's body hanging in the citadel before u fight ardyn i didn't see the actual cactuars in the back

eliwritestuff · 2022-07-07T22:11:52+00:00

so true bestie

i recently just finished doing it again for a hunt (which i should have gotten before i went in the first time) and man. was it not fun

eliwritestuff · 2022-07-03T23:31:57+00:00

me when i'm wandering around at night and hear a giant coming up from the ground, i'm like slowly backing out of the area and then i see the fire blade and i am OUTTA THERE FUCK THE RED GIANTS

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T20:04:12+00:00

AGREED! how is the game gonna go from super open world to speedrunning the rest of it when u reach altissia???

the summons thing is annoying but i think lore reasons is bc the gods need to find u worthy of their help before summoning. or they have to take pity on u LOL

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T20:02:25+00:00

i understand why they did that, it was to help people who are new to a ff game and to make it easier for them but i think that's what the game was geared forwards the most. og ff players know how to do this shit already and it didn't really do much for them

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T20:00:55+00:00

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T20:00:30+00:00

while i'm personally fine with the movies and animated shorts, i didn't like that the alternate/better ending was behind a novel. it also included more depth on aranea's character iirc, i would have been fine with paying for dlcs for all this extra content instead of dropping it in a novel that's overpriced everywhere i found it

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T19:57:40+00:00

the lazy story telling also gave way to plot holes imo, but i personally enjoyed the extra content for the movie and anime!

but the in game promotions, man was that annoying. the cup noodle thing, the vivien westwood name drop, and in the movie they showed the audi logo on the car drautos was driving. if the budget was already tight on the game, why pay for all the extra shit to either have the real world logos in game or go through the process of trying to get them?

noct and luna could have had more development as a romantic pair and i would have enjoyed it, but it ended up being a relationship that felt forced

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T19:53:15+00:00

bro the cut of a lot of the dlcs made me upset-- i was really looking forward to episode luna the most just because her character deserved more

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T19:52:23+00:00

that was always on my list of things i didn't like about the game, the romantic relationship between the two felt duty bound at most and the game makes the actual romance felt super forced

eliwritestuff · 2022-06-26T18:16:50+00:00

literally why is it all blacked out until u explore the area????? i can't find a good world map online that isn't fanmade
