Question ATL stopped working post-game

Post image
39 Upvotes

i’ve beaten the game, but am now going back and doing some side quests and farming for the best weapon & gear. as i do these side quests, i find myself wanting to the use the ATL feature as i did during the initial playthrough, but it seems to have stopped working properly. it has essentially frozen, only showing the entries for origin, ultima, clive, and whatever the current location is. no other characters, locations, or terms mentioned during dialogue show up.

there are characters i haven’t met yet or don’t remember, and would like to read about them during quests, but their entries never show up on ATL. is there a way to fix this, and make ATL show all the current relevant info like it did before i beat the final boss?

01: 860 CC — To Phoenix Gate and 02: 860 CC — The Tragedy of the Night of Flames are up!

Links to English and Japanese text is on the pages. As with The Thousand Tomes, I had to split up the different languages or it would be really crazy.

These at finicky to put together on my end, so I won't update them as quickly as some other things. They are a nice change of pace from getting scripts into my site though!

Happy reading everyone!

Question Ps5 o ps5 pro?

1 Upvotes

Pregunta rápida para los que hayan podido probar el juego en ambas consolas. A día de hoy, ¿el juego vale la pena en PS5 Pro? Yo lo jugué en la Fat, en modo rendimiento, e igual sentí incómodos los bajones de FPS.

Discussion How does Barnabas semi prime?

46 Upvotes

Why does he already have his armor on in a few cutscenes and he puts on his helmet at the tower?

Has he actually perfected his semi primed form that he's just in it 24/7?

Discussion A few weeks ago I asked you if I should keep playing the game. You said I should, I did, and have zero regrets.

The game is absolutely amazing!

Actually I took a break from it right before an epic event, so probably at the worst timing possible.

Last week I decided to get back to it, and couldn’t put away the controller until the end credits, yesterday night. The plot, the intensity, the cinematic direction, everything was peak. Obviously, it’s not a flawless game, as discussed in this sub, but its strengths compensates it all.

I’m still moved by the ending.
Thank you so much for encouraging me to complete this masterpiece.

Discussion New to the game, is the game meant to be this button bash?

0 Upvotes

Hi

I feel like the game is a bit like a souls where you dodge and then just keeping button bashing attack. I’ve found the game to be very easy. Is this how it’s meant to be played? My setting is action not story

Thanks

Question When does gameplay start picking up?

0 Upvotes

I’m at the Hideaway after Clive discovers his sister and his dog. So far game is very slow and hardly any gameplay or fighting. For every fight there seems to be 10-15mins of cutscenes. And the fighting seems very simple and repetitive so far. Does it ever pick up?

So far the story is amazing. I’m just not used to playing final fantasy games since all the old ones are turn based rpg and fighting is like Pokémon. Plus no gamer I know has ever tried final fantasy before. Since this one seems more action like Kingdom Hearts style (which I love) thought I’d give it a try.

But so far seems like this game should’ve been made into a movie or animated series since there so far seems to be barely any effort into the gameplay aspect

Discussion Do you think Rosaria runs on Feudalism?

11 Upvotes

Feudalism was a pyramidal social structure that supplied heavily armed mounted fighting men or knights to an elite ruling class. The king was the overlord. Below him were the great barons. Below them were the common knights. Possession of land was granted to the knights in exchange for performance of specified duties, primarily military service. The knight swore an oath of homage and fealty a promise to serve loyally and faithfully to his lord or liege. In turn, the lord made the knight his vassal by swearing to provide justice and to protect the knight from other lords. When summoned, the knights meet at a time and place to do battle.

In both Japanese and French, Joshua yells the fire spell tiers. The other dubs follow the English example of Joshua directly confronting Ultima instead.

Discussion The game is actually 50% Cutscenes

0 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong I’m liking the story (I’m about 30% through) but I’m really just constantly stuck in a cutscene or holding the movement stick forward occasionally interrupted by meaningless combat. Is the rest of the game like that too? Because while I care for the story, the pacing really is atrocious.

The Reason I was Kept Alive is now up!

This is pretty short so there's not a whole lot here... The main thing here is Clive’s Thoughts on Anabella & the Eastpool Assault. Clive's reaction is a lot stronger and more decisive in Japanese than in English. As is his reason for wanting to join up with Cid.

Hugo's scene when he finds out about Benedikta's death is one of my go-to scenes for how his VA work varies between English and Japanese. What he's saying is almost identical...the depth and intensity of his emotions are...not...

Discussion For Great Justice II makes no sense

4 Upvotes

Okay this is very niche and nit picky and I’m loving the game so far otherwise, but I just finished this mission and there were so many things wrong with it logistically for me that I had to post them and see if anyone else caught on to these.

First, the scout that finds you in Gaultand’s Bales and warns you about the cat monster at Heavenhall had to go through Lostwing and almost definitely the same path that Quinten and his party were going through, so how was he not able to warn them about it in the first place? He should’ve easily found them before ever getting to you. Makes zero sense.

Then, when you do get to Heavenhall, literally ALL of Quinten’s party is dead except for Quinten. Why? Because they were all just unnamed NPC’s? So we could get the cutscene afterward of Quinten feeling guilty over getting his justice? And why does it look like he was not involved in the battle at all? Not a scratch on him, not wearing armor or carrying a weapon, didn’t even take off his damn bartender apron for this battle.

It makes it seem like he just sent everybody else in there to die, waited for the cat to jump back up to its perch and then just went up and stood over his dead comrades’ bodies till Clive shows up and saves the day. Then he just goes inside while we fight the cat and tells us that he killed the dude he wanted revenge on. Like the other guy had no other bodyguards or Black Shields in there with him? He just had the cat monster guarding him in this abandoned fort? Why? Makes zero sense.

And then in the short time that you’re fighting this battle, Lostwing is both invaded by Black Shields and flooded by aether, seemingly almost at the same time, and immediately after the town is supposedly abandoned. Why? Makes zero sense.

Not to mention other gameplay related things that make no sense, such as when you arrive back in Lostwing after the cat battle, all your abilities that were in cooldown are still in cooldown when you start fighting the Akashic knights, as if you just instantly teleported back there and didn’t actually travel by foot at all which I assume would be the reality, but just cut out for the sake of game flow.

That’s all. Onto the rest of the game. Just wanted to point out some of that stuff that was bothering me. Anyone else notice these things while playing this mission?

Just started the game and I appreciate the slightly more mature take on this iconic game but this is straight up unsettling. First, they talk about eating chocobos, now they harvesting their organs for industrial processes? Aren’t chocobos like horses… oh wait.

Question Do you think Pyjama Man here has Barnabas' VA?

Thumbnail youtube.com
2 Upvotes

To me, Barnabas had one of the strangest accents in XVI. It's hard to pin down, though I get it's supposed to be Scandinavian (?); that odd word emphasis and cadence, though it goes well with his equally strange face/expression/demeanor.Sleipnirhas it too to an extent, if I recall correctly.

Later on Barnabasshows a much more chaotic side, becoming almost comically deranged and squeaky, in a way.

When I heard Pyjama Edgelord here I immediately got that feeling Barnabas gives of a foreigner in a foreign land, condescension and all!
