So long as you have a save file with Remake and Intermission you get the two additional summons, right? Between that and watching some tips videos now I wanna hit the ground running.

AFAIK this is correct.

Remake file: Laviathan
Digital pre-order: Moogle

Then you also get some accessories for any pre-order.

Ugh, so I see that you get a Kupo Charm and Survival Set (whatever those are!) if you've played the demo. Can't believe I'm doing this now but I'm gonna download it and try and do a quick save.

Christ I'mma end up taking tomorrow off, aren't I.

I can’t so do it for me brother

My kid already has Rebirth here in the future, installed/updated and raring to go. They're kindly leaving it for a late night gaming session so I don't stumble past and catch any spoilers (still working through Remake).

No idea how well distributed install software is globally on Playstation (e.g. local AWS delivery etc.), but I think their biggest bit of excitement with getting it before the rest of the world was not trying to download a mega day one patch at the same time as everyone else.

Trying to learn Queen's Blood at 12:30am this morning, 2 hours past my bed time, was probably not my best decision. Hoping I understand it a little better when I jump in this evening at normal hours

I was going to start playing, but finished the demo at like 11:30 and ended up showing restraint for the first time in my life. Had a productive work day so will now slack off when I get home in a few hours.

Guilty as charged!

Turns out PSN is on Azure.

Big news, guys - I'm going pro at Queens Blood. It's so good.

Azure seems like such a cute cert. I’m over here with google cloud

I know people were saying it's as good or better than Triple Triad - which I was obsessed with - so excited to get my head around it.

[TroyD92]

I thought the piano mini game was a lot of fun. Seemed like it could be really hard

[Siefer]

There's just a whole minigame collection with of minigames in this thing. It's wild

[ReasonablySober]

It's been a while since I've played a Ubisoft open world and I'll be honest, I'm not hating this at all. Sometimes I just wanna shut my brain off, collect some materials, unlock some towers, and check off icons on a map.

[StickeeFingaz]

Only Final Fantasy game I’ve ever played was FFXIV, I feel left out.

Update: 34-0 is my new Queen's Blood high score.

I did everything in the Grasslands - some of it I really loved, some of it not so much. Not sure it was worth it vs. continuing the story, which I was really missing, so not sure I'll do it again in the next open world area. May cheat it a little bit and look up what the rewards are to decide what I do, and otherwise just prioritize the actual side quests and maybe the battles.

P.S. I want more QB. Everyone should be challenge-able

I'm just doing stuff till i get bored then moving on. I'll probably do a more thorough playthrough when i unlock the next tier of combat difficulty. Combat is so fun.

Oh yeah, combat rocks. I unfortunately didn't jive with Red XIII as I was hoping I would, I think mostly because I don't guard much , so playing waiting game until Yuffie comes aboard and I can rock my Cloud/Tifa/Yuffie main party. Interested to check out Cait Sith too though.

Cultured I SEE. I also think they improve Aerith quite a bit. I think Vincent is in this game isnt he? I bet he's pretty fun.

I think Vincent and Cid are both non-playable, like Red from Remake.

[FrieAaron]

Wasn't Yuffie added in the DLC or is that just a standalone story or something?
