Hold Square. There are attacks that will automatically dodge if you're holding square and then there are more powerful ones where you have to time it. Also dodge roll/warping is your friend.
like I get the mechanics, I just can't nail the timing. I'll be there thinking I'm good, start an attack and get beat down.

I'm still trying to figure out how they come up with this stuff.

Leviathan. Like seriously what kind of Zone of the Enders shit was that? And I'm on the part now that was considered a piece of the game that's got horror elements. It's kind of cool how it works out with the creepy guys roaming around. But sure, hide and go seek to start then death all the way.

Well, just finished the game.

I have to say, people would talk about the story and everything else.

But I have to say the music tracks in the last few fights were amazing.

I just purchased this game from Amazon for 47.99. Not sure why it was discounted, but hey I'm not complaining. Looking forward to finally diving in!
 
Okay, what the shit.

End of chapter 5 spoilers:
Iris is more upset that some old guy (Jared?) who the group has met once before has died... but doesn't seem to give two shits that Insomnia has been basically destroyed/occupied and millions of people dead? That King Regis, her 'senpai's fucking dad died? Worst part is the boys are also reacting with more fervor about this as well. Am I missing something? Or is this completely insane.
These are some incredibly emotionally repressed/deficient people.

the problem w/ the Death spell is how long it takes to cast.. I couldn't use it on those guys.. but I did find that the spell that sends them through a dimensional portal.. I forgot the name.. continues to cast even if they hit you.. so I just used that instead of running and hiding from them
 
Also, speaking of chapter 5...

In the final stretch, I had the same magitek armor respawn 8 times before I was allowed to 'finish' the fight. Then the cutscene started automatically without me activating it.

Game's buggy.

The first sets of them worked but later on I ended up using that Holy counter and that worked. Slowly but surly.

Damn, so torn between hanging out and doing all the side stuff or powering forward, so many people on my friends list are powering through the chapters fast as hell. I wanna see some new areas and stuff but i am enjoying the hunts of the opening section.

When it is at it's best, it is imo the most beautiful open world game on console.

I just held square and used holy on them. It strangely started working better then the game trying to decide if I want to jump or hide.

So, I did the first key dungeon and it was trash, and apparently all the other ones are trash, too, so I'm done. 57 hours clocked, Level 81.

FFXV was a badly flawed game, at times, but it gave me some excellent music, some great setpieces, a touching ending, and the Pitioss Ruins, the greatest dungeon in FF history. Thanks, Square Enix! And good luck on XVI.

What do you get for doing those key dungeons?

I had two camp quests, one with Gladio one with Ignis. Is there one with Prompto too? If so how/where do I trigger it?

So I'm gonna buy this tomorrow. Any beginner tips?

I know about watching Kingsglaive, Brotherhood and the Prologue first but anything else?

how the F do I get into Costlemark tower? should I just forget about it, keep following the main quest, and the answer will come to me eventually? I'm at the beginning of Chapter 4 where I'm
supposed to meet Ardyn at the meteor

It only opens at night. But it's a level 55+ dungeon.

I see. Are the optional ones tied to sidequests or just dungeons that you find?

Dungeons and one tomb is just out in the open

Which dungeon?

So you get 1AP for Happy Camper and 3AP for Happier Camper.

Roadrunning and Chocobump are based on distance traveled.

Roadrunning = 1AP for every 1.25mi.
Chocobump = 1AP for every 0.875 mi.
 
I don't know if I agree about Pitioss Ruins.

Platforming in a game not built for it? How was this such an amazing idea? The puzzles were interesting though.

I think two things could have fixed some of camera issues:

1) Pulling it back in combat, the game seems to do it sometimes but it should do it every time and the distance should depend on the side of enemy you are fighting.

2) R1/RB to lock should mean you have a hard lock on an enemy and that means the enemy always stays in the centre of screen and camera moves accordingly. Right now it seems more akin to a soft lock where you can lose the enemy from centre of screen quite easily.
You can hard lock by pressing the right stick while soft locked. I don't think it ever explains this

Until they patch in a HUD adjuster or something, i can't fully enjoy the game. My screen is getting cut off. it seems to be an issue with a lot of people/tvs. I couldn't tell if my HP was in the 40s or the 400s. Can't even see my MP bar. I'm not about to buy a new tv to play one game.

Touche.

That trailer was the best thing in the world. It also still had the Nomura vibe.

But if you had been paying attention you should've known that that was no longer going to be the case. In hindsight, probably since TGS 2014.

Also, SE later confirmed that trailer's (E3 2013) footage was done with the prototype engine/environment (unclear?) called Ebony.

Once they shifted to an actual engine (Luminous) things started to become complicated:

After the initial reveal, the team ran into difficulties with the new hardware, prompting them to contact HexaDrive due to their experience with high-spec gaming hardware.
