what's the name of that softer, slower version of gratia mundi that plays at random sometimes when you're walking around
 
Just realised you can hold R1 then press R3 to stay locked on. Makes it much better for me.

It'll still unlock itself randomly though. The camera really needs some extra work. That, and the map not being able to display all quest locations at once (unless I'm missing something) are literally my only complaints so far.

Really wish you could select Noctis' casual clothes without the hat.

By the way, this is the difference between HDR screenshots and non-HDR (top: normal, bottom: HDR):

Doesn't seem to translate HDR well into screens.

How are you guys leveling so fast? Is there a grinding spot I missed in early chapters? I've only gained experience from hunts, bosses and quests. Random encounters on the world map are kinda rare, I don't get that many.

I was level 14 starting chapter 3.

If you eat certain good or sleep at some hotels (like the one in Qualdin Quay) you get EXP boosts. I was lv 17 when I started cp 3, but it really depends on what you explored and what quests you did, since some enemies and quests give way more experience than others.

How did you skill the group? Is there any good guide for that?
Can you undo and/or reskill?

I just realized yesterday that i am already LVL 16 and totally forgot to choose any skills in the trees. Still Chapter 2.
 
I finally decided to stop playing and sit and watch Kingsglaive and my thoughts on it are basically this:
Daaaaang that's a pretty movie. I really enjoyed it and it makes me understand things quite a bit more.

Yeah the movie helps flesh out the story quite a bit, and it's an enjoyable enough watch. I liked it

Prompto singing the FF victory theme after killing a bunch of goblins. LOL

lol when I heard him do that I was dying laughing, he's hilarious sometimes

One last question before I call it a night: For Chocobos, is there a way to call them no matter where you are? I feel like there was, but I wasn't paying attention and accidentally skipped it.

How does this HDR look on an HDR screen? because here its increadibly blown out in the highlights. Looks terrible.
 
Thanks. Not sure how far I am into chapter 1, but I doubt I'm that far. Still just doing the hunts in the firs area. Almost done. How long is chapter 1? I'm a completionist.

For reference I put around 8 hours into it and completed everything there was to do before advancing the story at all.
 
Only on chapter 4 so I don't want any hints, spoilers or -wink wink nudge nudge- (fuck you of you do)
But I really really love this game and i want another Final Fantasy just like this one, in this world with this team.
 
I'm still really early in the game. I had the option to drive the car manually for a while but I haven't been able to do it in the last couple of hours, the option is always greyed out. Why is that?

Also, I don't want to spoil myself by looking at the Trophy list but how are they? Any particularly difficult one?

I was level 14 starting chapter 3.

I was wandering in one spot looking for something for a quest, and just couldn't find it, but I ended up being assaulted by magitek units every 30 seconds. They didn't go away. I got insane amounts of EXP from that.

Had the same. Unlocks in Chapter 3 - it was temporary active in Chapter 1.

Nope very easy Plat

I'll take bets that they bring out DLC to look like previous FF cast members

I would like a Warrior of Light outfit for Noctis. The SEED uniform would also suit the game aesthetic but would be too samey to their main outfits.

I think that we are getting a Santa Claus DLC costume with the update next month.

chapter 3
 
I'm level 30, 22 hours in on chapter 3, so much to do game is addictive.

Pretty where I'm at. Love doing all the side missions first. Means you can just enjoy the story by smashing the shit out of everyone rather than potentially sitting through a long cutscene only to die on the boss and have to replay it all.

It looks much nicer than that screenshot.

So I was playing around with elemancy options and created the Quadcast II spell, my God... the damage. It clears soldier mobs with one use, amazing!

Is there anywhere in Duscae you can find better weapons than the ones bought in Lestallum? Not counting engine weapons.

Also could someone point me to the region of a dungeon? I've done the Balouve mines.
 
Had the craziest experience due to glitches and nonsense. Stumbled upon a super dungeon, took me two hours to get through. But one of the final fights in it was so screwed. Two of my party members (ignis and propto) straight up disappeared. Then about 20 minutes into the fight which I had no way of winning, I became impervious to damage. This was so exhausting. Holy shit. Crazy ass glitch that screwed me then saved me. I don't know what to think .

Mine was glitching in one of the dungeons in the game. Noctis and party cannot heal up no matter how many Potions or Hi-Potions I threw at them. I was ready to just reboot my PS4Pro when I random tossed a Phoenix Down (at a party member that's alive, during non-combat moment), the game accepted it and Noctis just healed up fine to maximum from his dwindling pool of HP. It's like they're the walking dead or something. It was frustrating coz I can't possible beat that last boss in that dungeon with double digit HPs on everyone.
 
Awesome moment yesterday that took me by surprise.

I was walking around at night, fighting daemons for the lols, when all of a sudden
the camera cuts away to an Imperial airship, Aranea jumps down and joins my party to help me kill the daemons. Then when we're done she jumps off and leaves. I LOVE this.
 
I just beat got to chapter 4 and I have no idea what's going on. Calling the story in this game a mess is too kind
Watch Kingsglaive, other than that there isn't much to miss. You can argue whether the desicion to make a 2 hour CG prologue was a good idea but as someone who's just reached chapter 5 just right now I think these complaints are incredibly overblown. It's Definitely not a mess and thus far everything you need to know exists but whether you want to take the time to pay attention to it us all on you.

Far left and Left bottom corner of the map.

Those are the highest I have found in Duscae. Weapon Vendors.

Thanks.

On another note I just did the
base infiltration in chapter 5, but Aranea never showed up? Did I miss something? Just a cutscene with Ravus and Ardyn and then it was over (and a few grunts and machines of course).

Question about chapter 5 in spoiler.

Just started Chapter 5 (after the mess that was 4). I have no idea what this game is about. The storytelling is vague at best and at worst, incoherent.

Gee, there's been a war. People have died. Let's go fetch questing for weapons! And then, let's go fetch questing for summons! Why? ... well, I dunno.

It's just... boring. This could have been an incredibly epic tale but they're telling it in the least interesting way possible. The game itself is okay, for the most part. I'm not a big open world fan. It just doesn't really contain many of the things I look for in a Final Fantasy and I can't imagine ever bothering to replay it.
