Narrative device to show you that the world has gone off the deep end.So what was up with the Demon Wall-esque monster in the World of Ruin near Gauldin Quay? You can't even go back to kill it and it's level 80+.
My friend clreared Pitioss in 4 hours yesterday evening, watched the whole thing as a veteran of the damn dungeon.
I left when he was done with it, then he went to the car, DIDN'T SAVE, to fly directly in the mountains.
Game went back to the last checkpoint, no black hood. :lol
I love the bit of banter between Noct and Ignis where the latter cracks down on the former for having a button loose.
Finished it! What a great game, really loved it. Still lots to do on hunts, too.
I'm pretty sure everyone has said what need to be said. Rushed, a mess, etc, but still lots of heart and fun.
What's weird/hilarious to me is how Emperor Iedolas was just offed and identified in an offhanded comment during battle. He's one of the very early characters we see in Versus XIII, had quite a role in Kingsglaive, too. Dead offscreen and killed in a "Huh I think that's the Emperor" manner.
They also follow up on the conversation a bit later.
The characters in this game are truly amazing.
So a while ago someone had mentioned a bit of dialogue from the guys in the World of Ruin that stated Ardyn should be remembered alongside the other kings of Lucis, but I've yet to see anything confirming that. Is it safe to assume that was never said?

The only thing of the sort that I remember was inside the Insomnia Palace. If you look up to the Cosmogony painting with all the Lucian Kings of old at the top, one of the bros (Or Noctis himself, I can't remember) will point out that Ardyn should also be there in the painting. Another bro (Gladio, I think) will remark that he never could've thought Ardyn was of Royal blood.
Oooh, so it's real then? That's a really cool/important piece of dialogue I missed. Gonna try to trigger it next time I feel like going through the end game.
What did you think about the ending?
It felt really great and satisfying. Upon checking I'm sure we'll find some stupidities here and there, but overall I'm very satisfied with it. It's great seeing an ending that doesn't try a sequel hook or building universes or anything. The final battle was great, too--never thought it was Ifrit the one we fought in prologue. Noctis vs Ardyn felt more like a ceremonial showdown than a true final battle but that's kinda expected.
But in the end it's the four bros--the scene where it shows four empty chairs on a campsite got me feels.

FFXV: Great FF soundtrack, or greatest FF soundtrack?
lol, I'm so glad I read about saving after that dungeon. The way the car is parked means you'll always crash it on takeoff unless you backup, which is insanely stupid.

I love Shimomura but for some reason, the soundtrack isn't that memorable to me. I barely remember it playing most of the time. The Cleigne battle them is amazing tho. I feel like the world was too quiet. Needed more music out there like xenoblade. One theme at night, one in the day for the different sections of the map.

I feel like the weird sound mixing had a lot to do with that. I grew to appreciate it more after I started listening to the music at work.
Could be part of the issue. I've been listening to it on YouTube some and am appreciating it a bit more. I still think the town themes mostly suck though.
Yeah, Altissia was lame. I keep going back to the overworld music, battle music, and more specifically the final boss/character themes.

Great, but not the greatest. It doesn't feel cohesive enough.

Ignis is so sweet. I didn't think I'd like him, but he definitely grew on me. Need more motherly characters in gaming.I love the bit of banter between Noct and Ignis where the latter cracks down on the former for having a button loose.

Holy shit... I was just exploring Duscae with my sweet little level 68 and guess what (phone screen, sorry for the quality)?

This game is really full of surprises... but I don't like this one very much at the moment ha ha, this thing is destroying me, guess I have to run away...
I love the Altissia theme. ;v;
Eh.. I love the Altissia theme.
You actually mean the Valse di Fantastica and not the generic accordion track that plays in the actual city though, right?
This is what really plays when exploring the city:

It's generic and repetitive and after 10 minutes it becomes incredibly annoying.
Yeah, I like the "generic and repetitive" tune. I think it's very charming.
Cape Caem and Hammerhead
!!
No need to put that in quotes.It is repetitive and generic. It's the stereotypical music that plays in Paris, Venice and Rome in every cheesy film ever.
Hard mode needs to be added.

Is the shrinking daylight tied to how long you mess around before going to Altissia? By the time I got around to the lighthouse, the daylight was down to about 5 hours - which was pretty annoying for questing because I don't like running around in the dark. I finished the game and went back in time and since it put me back right at the lighthouse before I left, I still only have 5 hours of daylight.
If I rushed to that part of the story, would the days still be longer, or is that tied to the chapters and not how long I spent in game?
