Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae 2.0 - Part 13 - Defeating Deadeye with Ramuh!
Epic!!! *** When you've spent your entire life looking out at the serrated city skyline, it's easy to lose yourself in the sprawling Duscaen landscape. The prince and his retinue were halfway to Cauthess when their daydreams came to a sudden, screeching halt—the Regalia's last gasp before giving out to the unpaved backroads. Now they were truly lost in the landscape: broken down by the side of the road with the Disc well out of walking distance. The Archaean, Titan, would have to wait. He'd been dormant for ages anyway. The first order of business was getting back on four wheels. *** Trying out the recording feature on my big bro's PS4 with a demo I've been too excited to play! My little bro got Type 0 HD and this demo came coupled with it. I've played and have been a big fan of Final Fantasy for a long, long time and it's good to finally get a glimpse of what's to come in Final Fantasy XV. I was thinking the other day this "next generation" of consoles might have come too fast... The first thing I have to say about the PS4's SHARE recording feature is that it is very, very limited. You cannot record higher than 720p (1280x720) and the video is stuck at 30 fps. But the most limiting thing is that you cannot record more than 15 minutes of gameplay. Sony needs to really up their game here but at the same time I can understand that the hardware itself isn't that advanced yet on consoles. But then it begs to differ they shouldn't have advertised it like it was something revolutionary either. Overall I'm really happy with my playthrough though and had a LOT of fun playing it, (I might play it again completely!) and although not "overclocked" it is still a great looking demo! *** Story: Stranded in Duscae without their car, Noctis and his party set out on foot to find a way to procure the gil needed for repairs. An opportunity presents itself as a bounty: a half-blind Behemoth named Deadeye has been terrorizing the area, and the locals have put a price of 25,000 gil on the beast's head. To earn enough gil to repair the Regalia, the party must hunt the Behemoth down and kill him. After locating clues from the tracks Deadeye has left behind, the party tails the beast to its habitat in the local ruins. They attempt to fell Deadeye using a diversionary strategy, but Deadeye survives and the party is forced to flee after a futile attempt at fighting it. Deciding to ask the locals for more clues, the party learns from the Stablemaster at Wiz Chocobo Post about a cavern filled with goblins: Fociaugh Cavern. After the party fights their way through to the end of the cavern, Noctis is granted with the power to summon Ramuh when he is weakened, which guarantees the defeat of Deadeye when the party confronts it a second time. The party sells the Behemoth's horn for the gil needed to pay the mechanic Cindy, and before heading back out on the road, they promise to visit her and her father, Cid, soon. During their time in Duscae, Noctis can also venture out with a friend. Gladiolus teaches him a new technique when the two run into a herd of Garula. Prompto asks Noctis to accompany him in hunting for rare mushrooms for Ignis, but he drops the mushrooms when the pair is chased off the lake by a giant Catoblepas. Ignis and Noctis find a spot where to watch the meteor shower at night, and later on invite Prompto and Gladiolus to join them. Prompto wants to take a picture of the four with the backdrop of the starry sky but the camera topples over before the picture is taken. The demo ends with a show of artwork and audio connected to the core story: Noctis learns of the fall of Insomnia from Ignis and Gladiolus, while an official broadcast reports the deaths of King Regis, Prince Noctis, and Lunafreya Nox Fleuret from Tenebrae. Regis tells his son to never back down from what he has begun, and as one who carries the royal blood and name, to always carry his head high. (Source: Final Fantasy Wiki - Wikia)
