Yeah I can go with that. I was just expecting something a little more...cheerful.
At chapter 2 at about 7 or so hours. Lvl 12. I don't mind being overpowered in RPG's although I don't think I generally am here.
Large groups of bison are a problem. I manage a parry sometimes (hold it right? Not just tap?) and then try and hit circle but I get flung up into the air anyways.

About how many chapters are there? One review I glanced over said the later ones could be pretty short.

Answers in bold, quoted in your spoiler. Kingsglaive spoilers!
1. Arydn wants Luna and Noctis to get married. It makes more sense later on, but the whole idea is to treat it as unity between the two nations (Luna's country is under Imperial hold. Luna is also basically the pope of this universe). There is a separate motive with Ardyn.
2. Regis wanted them to go to Altissia cause it isn't under Imperial hold. Regis just didn't want Noctis to be in the Crown city. He knows everything will go to shit. Luna heads to Insomnia without really telling Regis so it's a surprise to him in the movie.
3. Who knows with this one. It's just story convenience in order to keep them seperated.
4. Movie exclusive character.
5. Luna doesn't have a phone as far as we know.

The marriage is introduced by the Empire as a condition for the peace treaty. Basically it's a surface-level thing to unite the citizens. In the end this is all just a set up concocted by the empire.
The Empire took over Tenebrae years ago so on paper a marraige between Noctis of Lucis and Luna of Tenebrae would make sense.
Luna goes to Insomnia of her own will to speak with Regis. It was an unexpected thing that happens in the movie.
Yeah, this part was dumb. I hate these things in stories.
At the end of the movie she told Libertus that she would continue on alone. ie. They didn't want to include the dude in the game.
I guess you could argue she doesn't have a phone since they don't actually communicate with Luna through a phone in the game. Which is dumb.

I feel the same about this. Some of the themes fit PERFECTLY with the areas you go to. I loved playing Gapra Whitewood while traveling to the Malmalam Thicket. Final Fantasy 14's ambient tracks fit just as well which is nice. Serenity playing while walking through rain is amazingly atmospheric.

I think FF went off the rails for me when its characters became supermodels designed to be fashion statements and not actual characters themselves. They're modeled to be posed looking longingly at the audience/designer. They look like animated real dolls.

Anyone else finding this game slowly working it's way up to being your GOTY surprisingly?

Goddammit, I think I ran across a fucking spoiler. Ugh, that'll be the fifth game this year. The Internet sucks and I suck for using it.

It is mine, unless FFVII do a better job =p
Would love to see Weapons in the game though =p
Questions:
- Is there any way to basically have unlimited sprint, other than that DLC jacket from the Deluxe Edition (Almost wish I had gotten that now lol)
- Is there a bestiary? Or at least some easy way to know what monsters are weak to? And if there is, how do you access it? I asked this before, but I don't recall if I had ever gotten an answer.

It's almost there. DOOM still is my GOTY and we still got The Last Guardian to go through. So we'll see

The dungeons in this game are just unbelievably fun...Just did the sword in the fall dungeon. The combat, the banter, the layout. Everything was great.
Level 30 in chapter 3. Yeah I'm moving with the story now even though I have so much to explore. Just gotta chill lmao.
I COMPLETELY fucked up the tour with Prompto from the demo. Pressed the button way too soon. Luckily I have a save not too far behind so I'm gonna reload that sometime to get a better pic (it won't be main save but oh well).

jumped 2 chapters ahead in a blink. had a ton of xp banked too. i'm mad as fuck
- Either eat food that gives you the unlimited sprint bonus or learn how to time the infinite sprint trick. When the sprint is reaching near the end press it again and Noctis will get it all back again.
- No bestiary, but there is a Libra move for Ignis. It won't work for every enemy.

-Turn on stamina bar in the settings and press L3 when it's about to run out
-No bestiary, but Ignis has a skill you can purchase early for scanning
Eh, I wouldn't say surprisingly per say, because I figured I'd love a grand open world game with super flashy combat. That being said, due to the generally poor marketing, it became increasingly hard to be thoroughly hyped for this game. Like, I was relatively positive I'd love it, but I wasn't particularly excited for it. Now that I'm playing it, I know for sure that this will easily be my GOTY.
Plus Gravity Rush 2 got delayed, so it doesn't have much competition to begin with outside of like... Pokemon Sun, which was surprisingly great

Just get enhancement in the skill tree, although when I lock on I get the stats on the enemies
you're still early in the game, wait until you see the later chapters. It's fun flawed game best way I can describe it
Tied for GOTY for me with Overwatch and I'm only in chapter 2 still with about 10 hours played.

These codes people are giving away, is it true you can unlock them in the story? Or are they exclusive to codes? Canadian Amazon only gave a car skin....
Yep, currently my 3rd behind DS3, but I'm not too far through and after every session I like it even more. Can easily see it being mine if it continues like it has.
None of the DLC items are in the game.
Ah, forgot to mention I already knew about the trick. Only thing I've seen that lets me not have to worry about is the food that gives it to you, but that's a rather temporary solution. Ah well, at least I know. Perhaps I'll actually upgrade my stamina, assuming that's possible.
As for Ignis' skill, eh, not exactly what I was looking for, but I'll consider it. Thanks!

Def curious how it will effect my thoughts towards end game but even still with 25 hours on chapter 7, lvl 38. I'm feeling like there isn't much that will ruin the combat, sense of discovery, and world which is a huge aspect of why it's getting up there for me.

Ahh, okay. I guess it's not surprising, but it's still disappointing - especially when it sounds like there was ultimately a coherent vision this time.
I know it will probably never happen and there's probably far too much to fill in, but it sounds like the game would benefit heavily from a "director's cut" with new scenes.

I wish I didn't know that that
Looking forward to seeing how it unveils itself
Thought it'd happen when Dino sent me, but nope
rock formation is Adamantoise

yes if you stick the main story. But the game loses everything if you rush through it.
yes.
nowadays when playing games like U4 I get the feeling that I have played these types of games many times before.
FF15 feels like i'm playing something fresh in a long time. same feeling I felt playing demons soul's, last of us, skyrim and witcher for the first time.
of course last guardian is still out there
Don't know how many chapters there are, but you probably could beat it in 4 days, but you'll miss pretty much all the side stuff, I'm 15 hours in and only on chapter 3 for example.
It'll let you drive it during the day when you get to chapter 3.
I swear this is the most asked question in this thread. Ignis tells you to take it for a test drive and then says he will handle the driving from then on until you get more familiar with the area.
You get the ability to manual drive in day time again later on.

The adamantoise fight is so bad, its boring and you're fighting the camera more than the boss

The weapons are trash, it's just a reskin of current weapons. Also, only useful for the early part of the game

Thank you. They really did a bad job explaining that if so many people have the same question.
You'll be able to immediately after starting Chapter 2!
I think it was explained okay myself, but it seems like a lot of people missed Ignis' dialogue.
