PSA: I didn't realize this makes a difference but setting the actual game difficulty to easy mode makes Fort Condor (hard) mode easier here. The video was recorded with those settings since I lowered the difficulty in the post-game to breeze through combat sims faster since there's so many. So the video has these settings. Game difficulty: Easy Fort Condor: Hard Mode
The set up you choose changes the speed that the bar generates. Also, try performance mode and see if there's any change in the speed in Fort Condor as a whole. Someone informed me recently that this actually makes an impact but I haven't confirmed it myself.
Dude. I am not sure what is going on here. I'm following your steps EXACTLY and you always have more ATB. When I start the match and start this video at the same time, at 2:54:80 when you place your first Elite Enforcer you've got 5 and a 1/2 bars, but when I let mine sit without doing anything and pause it at EXACTLY that time, I'm at exactly 5 bars. How is it that you have an extra 1/2 bar? As the match goes on you have more units on the field and more ATB than I have, despite following your exact moves at exactly the same time. Is this really on hard mode? Is there a difference between graphics and performance mode? (I'm on performance). Does it depend on which model of PS5 you have and they process differently? What the hell. You're at 5 bars at 2:56:60 while I'm at 5 bars at 2:54:80. When you're at 2:54:80 you have an extra half bar more than me. Something's fishy here.
@@christophermaes6570 I'm not so sure about that. I'm not sure about Easy mode because I never used it, but in Normal mode most units have an unlimited supply, whereas on Hard you have an extremely limited number of each unit, and the number of units able to be placed in this video match mine. So it seems to check out that it is indeed on Hard mode but the difference in ATB speed baffles me
@@Rhys-Lightningstarted to second guess myself so I went back to check my original uncut footage and it is indeed hard mode because I get the hard mode completed message after. I'm not quite sure what is making the difference if you're choosing the same exact set up that I am there. This was before the pre-release patch if that makes a difference. Try toggling from game modes? I believe the comments that something is happening but I'm not sure either at this time. I'll try to get to the bottom of it. Sorry 😔
If you want the platinum you'll need to beat the mini game on the hard difficulty which becomes the default after you beat all 4 stages on normal. That's the minigame difficulty btw not a hard mode playthrough
The mini/baby games are what hurt square enix sales. word spreads and people want to play a quality game not hours upon hours of this crap. What a waste of talent to not make a quality game over filler. this game seems to be full of other games to fill time and its rather noticeable early on.
