And with that last Dino quest I'm done for the night.
👀
what? No I didn't play for 15 hours straight YOU played for 15 hours straight
After you unlock the chocobo it's just a bit west of the chocobo post, you can follow the signs.
Enemy encounter design in the field is absolute garbage. Who thought it was good design to have swift moving targets all swarm on you and there is a very limited cheesy way to deal with it. Combat system is good but gotdamn the fucking encounters are dogshit.

Lmao you clicked on it
It was in a spoiler tag. What exactly were you expecting?
I find that heavy weapons are really good at clearing out multiple fast enemies. I am really good at timing shit in games tho. I still early on though.
Question: with the parry. How do you get it work actually? Is it random when it shows up? Or can you initiate it somehow? I always hit it at the right time when ever it shows up, I just want to know how to get it TO show up.

Yea because usually it's early game spoilers when people type like that.
Not what is probably one of the biggest events in the end game.
Put "end game spoiler" or go to the, you know, SPOILER THREAD.
It's fucking tagged for a reason... shame on you.

Sure. I'm talking about what the game chooses to emphasise though. Not using it as an excuse for weak plotting. I probably didn't make myself clear enough.

I clicked on it while scrolling down the page by mistake.
Ugh... not really much point carrying on now I suppose

Without spoiling anything, is the World map you get in the beginning of the game the full map or just a section? I've been mostly on blackout with this game so have no idea.

Sorry, didn't think it was necessary, since I didn't know it happened at the end of the game. Just saw this as a title.
Anyway, could someone answer me please ? Are there other twists or the plot is all about this event ?
I only played a couple hours so far but I'm in love with the game. Good lord I'm happy I watched Kingsglaive first... It is probably not necessary and things will have more context later, but things start out with almost NO context At. All. At least I already know WHY Noctis is getting married... WHY the other kingdom is about to visit, I actually know WTF is going on. But without the movie... ooof.
To the game itself...
- Side Quests are better than I expected, even the "fetch" ones. At least they have dialogue at the beginning and end. I don't mind a fetch quest when it has a little story behind it. Even if trivial.
- Hunts are cool, but far more simple than I expected. Just a go kill this / these. But I'm sure there will be some epic battles ahead. And there are a LOT of them it seems...
- After I selected "Auto" for the car, it seems I can't go back to Manual yet? What gives... I hope the game gives me back control soon. I really enjoy Auto, but my GF wanted to try driving the car and I couldn't let her... :/
- Combat is a chaotic mess and combat camera is atrocious. I did the entire tutorial which helps a lot, but it is silly to get the tutorial repeated again during the initial quests / hunts... thanks, game. When you are in a large swarm of enemies, I just hold Circle and hope for the best... hold Square when prompted... and CONSTANTLY FIGHT THE CAMERA, to keep my view from being blocked by trees and the like, which don't go transparent. Thanks again, game.
- Photos, cooking, and fishing are fantastic. I have no idea what the Survival skill does though... can someone explain?
- Cutscenes are janky as fuck and I think it's because of multi-language support. I think they had to make them very "generic" in their implementation so that they can support animations for multiple languages. There is a reason that past games did not provide more than one language, and localization took a lot of time. This game released day 1 in all regions in all languages, and you can tell they had to make sacrifices to make that happen.
- I couldn't help but laugh when I talked to NPCs that reveal all objectives in the surrounding area... What is this, an Ubisoft game? LOL
Overall, I am having a LOT of fun and can't wait to play more! It's good to know that once I get tired of the open world stuff, I can just hammer down and plow through the story.

For such a massive thing like..... that
It's normally common courtesy to make a big song and dance about just how big of a spoiler it is.....

Chapter 3.
It's tagged. It's up to your discretion to click on it.

That event is about 60% of the way through the main story. You've still got a few surprises in store throughout. The things you'll see...
*just after that event spoilers*
Poor Ignis.

Except spoiler tags don't load half the time on mobile and on desktop even if you HOVER by accident it'll show the spoiler sometimes without you knowing there are spoiler tags.

Well for the benefit of all gaffers I always make sure to make it very clear that my spoiler is potentially a game changer if I post as such.
That's how I got done
Well this makes me feel better. Based android.

Even though there are clear rules on how spoiler tags should be used, most people don't follow it (or even enforce it) so this kind of shit has been happening since GAF's inception.
Just avoid clicking on spoiler tags until you're done with the game in question.
You were going to get spoiled regardless then. Regardless if he put a notice on it or not.
So are you supposed to click R1+R3 on every single enemy you want to kill to track them? There's no option to just hit R1 once to lock on instead of holding, or that it locks onto the next enemy after you kill the first one? Because I kill 1 enemy, then just hold circle and mash square because how are you supposed to know whats even happening during these fights...

Noctis' default outfit gets funnier every time I see it. Dude's wearing flood cargo pants and lace up rubber boots

Not as bad as the skull and bones pictures on his shirt around his neck. What prince would wear such a terrible t-shirt?

Did anyone else read the prologue for the game?
If not, check it out.
It's meant to show off what the bros are doing up until the point the game starts. Kind of gives off a Brotherhood vibe.

What am I missing? Why can't I heal fully? Why can't I use potions outside of battle?

Strongly disagree. Small quick enemies act just like... small quick enemies. Lots of ways to deal with them. Stay in defensive mode until an opening. Warp in and out. Use big sword after a dodge for a big AOE counter, group em and drop a fire bomb on em. Bro's abilities too. I think this is good encounter design, although of course it can be irritating at times.
So I need to watch Kingsglaive > Brotherhood > read this prologue > then game ?

Seems like it. Occasionally opening the map mid-fight can be irritating
Interesting. I wonder why we've not heard of this yet before now.
It's terrible. It's gotten to the point where I'm deliberately overleveling myself so large swarms are less frustrating. The camera is just disastrous.
