Still installing both versions of the game, so gameplay and troubleshooting tips will have to come later.
Oh I remember reading about this.
Might be cool.

Any idea how toaster it can run?
>>15312822
Looks like the minimum requires a GTX 260.

That's fine, I'll stick to my email, bbs, nethack, and lynx browser.
Update! This is as far as I can get on the PS4 version. I know the top says Error-35 but I'm not sure what the bottom text reads. "Declined to make request" perhaps? I might not be able to connect as I do not have PS+, however, I thought F2P games didn't require it on PS4. Game also could just be down. I'll try every few hours. PC version is still downloading.
>>15312770
Far as I know it requires a JP IP and SQEX account. So you'll definitely need a VPN for this, even to set up the account.
Is this ever gonna get an english release?
>>15313205
Alright, got a few things cleared up in the past few hours.
It appears for the PS4 version, you are correct. Not sure if I need PS+ or a Japanese IP still, but something is blocking me from accessing that version.
Luckily, the PC version works well! No VPN required and setting up a Square-Enix account was easy, without a VPN. Gameplay doesn't lag too much for me on the East Coast, although I'm still locked into PVE because of my low rank so we'll see how PVP goes. Takes forever to download so start now if you're at all interested.

Did you have trouble receiving a verification code?
I've been meaning to get back into this but it's been months and I probably don't remember the controls
>>15314070
Not at all. It was instant.

Thanks man. This game is so good.

How bad is your processor. Integrated graphics are probably still better than a GTX 260
>>15314185
actually that's possible, now that you mention it, I'm running a 2.7gig i7 with 16 gigs of ram
>>15314205
Then definitely give it a shot. We probably need another Japanese multiplayer /m/ game besides MSGO
>>15313060
i got the same error on ps4 with my jp and na accountis is it my connection or what? i have ps plus
Still waiting for a verification code from the Square Enix site. Could I have done something wrong?
>>15315087
I know for one they won't send you a code if you signed with an email that's already been used, even though they did let you sign with it.
The launcher opens up the game but all I get is a black screen? So close but yet so far..

I take it goons beat you to the punch?

Damn that looks nice. Also, have you had any issues connecting to PvP? This has to be the one game where PvE has shorter queue times
I'm guessing there's no word on a western release?
>>15317562
No but there are a ton of localization files for other languages so we're in a weird spot
>>15317433
No issues, though I've only tried PvP once after coming back. But yeah, it seems like people play PvE more.
MIGU!
Engineers seems super useless. Railguns are junk, took way too long to charge the damage and it's gone even if you just slightly move.
>>15316667
Just started out, didn't know until later on that the extended tutorial is on the "Season 1" campaign behind the Story menu, which gives you free frames and stuff.
How do I get my partners to switch to their secondary weapons?
The mecha look awful, how long till it dies?
>>15322707
>Not liking the industrial/scrap mecha design
For shame anon. It's also a Square Enix game getting frequent events and collaborations so it's not dying soon which is good because online mecha games are dying
>>15313248
I would like to know this as well, there aren't much online-oriented mecha games on the PS4 at the moment.
>>15322709
the concept art is great, the in game screenshots are vomit inducing though
PS4 or PC? I got a Japanese account I used for Battle Operation and Battle Operation NEXT.
so what exactly are this, Mechs or Proxies?
>>15323401
iinm the "Figureheads" (the pilots) are AI
>>15322709
>It's also a Square Enix game
fun fact, they're also running regular "e-sports" tournaments for this game.
