I was actually fully expecting that to happen since that has been pretty much standard for open world games for quite some time. But nope, wild boar throws me into the air and a magitek sniper comes in for the assist while the boar just calmly ignores all the other troopers.

I'm 14 hours in on chapter 7, I even did quite a few side quests and hunts
Basically:
-Fast travelling everywhere
-Playing on easy mode
All I can think of as to why I'm cruising through it. Not a complaint by any means

This made me laugh out loud for some reason. Cindy is so stupid, every aspect of her.
You can skip that animation, though. I just jammed on buttons until I got a skip prompt.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Whatever was shown from 2006-2013 were basically scrapped.
Maybe the Leviathan battle set and everything else was placed in Kingsglaive in the 2013 E3 trailer.

I still ache to see how Stella would've made it into the storyline. But then, in turn, that goes for everything else that went out with her, I s'pose. It's crazy how many aesthetic and stylistic stages this game went through but what we got in the end is fair enough because, after all, it was the one that finally saw completion.
And despite being tonally distinct it tries to carve the most out of it.Vincent Alexander

Yes. Finishing an enemy with either of those nets you 1 AP. No upgrade needed.
Nvm. I'm way late.
Pretty sure there isn't. It's a real shame considering how well done the enemies are in this game.

Yeah those "25-30 hour" impressions are looking like atypical players running toward the finish line.

Don't feel like typing a long response on my phone so let's just say our past experiences and current feelings are very similar.
it was so annoying watching DSP struggle with (minor spoiler, it's an early hunt)
deadeye because he kept trying to R1 target the red barrels and blaming the battle system when you can kill him in a few minutes by exploding 3 barrels while deadeye's on them, just by free aiming

I'm still sad what happened to
Solheim. Where the hell did it go.
whatever was left from Tenebrae

Pretty sure I've seen some Magitek soldiers getting smashed by an Iron Giant while I was running out of range. Happened to me as I was doing the first night hunt out of Hammerhead.
I'm pretty sure that sort of happened to me once, where the Iron Giant at nighttime just kept to hit me and my crew, and inadvertently hit them and killed them/damaged them heavily.
Lmao beaten

Anyone have any tips on where to grind out gil right before final battle? I haven't left yet. I am only level 38, which seems way too weak. Trying to beef up.
Half an hour? Damn, you barely did anything though.
Also want to know this as well. At the very least, you can always just make a quick save file before using it in case no one answers.
No bestiary is truly mind boggling. Not only because it would be useful but also I want to look at the enemy models maybe if we're loud enough about it they'll include one in a patch?
Speaking of DLC I would love it if they released DLC

that created the 2013 Leviathan scenario although that would probably take a bit of work haha.

A bestiary would've been great. You don't really get to admire the models whilst fighting. For example I noticed from one of Prompto's photos that a monster had faces on its legs lol

Reply sent Shouta, hopefully you got it I tried to send a PM to a member before and for some reason it didn't go via mobile.
But they work, thanks again.

just reached chapter 2. Love the game so far.
Though there are many things that still can be improve on. Framepacing is noticeable and the camera can be annyoing sometime.

Got all the Royal weapons heh, feeling stronk
Originally he was meant to be in the invasion but Tabata had to rework a lot of stuff.

Finished the game. Took me 20 hours, 30 minutes. Didn't do much side stuff, if I cut out the stuff I did do I probably could have finished the game in under 20.
If I had to score the game based on this experience I'd give it a 7 or 7.5/10 and place it on the lower half of my ranking of the games. Thought the storytelling was bad, main 4 characters and villain were ok (everyone else I don't feel got enough screen time for me to have any opinion of them either way), combat was solid but found it kind of mindless outside of the Chapter 13 and 14 bosses. Main story mainly lost me from Chapter 9 onwards, especially Chapter 13 which is plain awful imo. A lot of strange or poor game design decisions and combat encounters, and a few really weird story events/reveals.
Doing optional stuff now and it's pretty fun. My opinion of the game will probably improve by time I'm through with it.

I pretty much went dark about a year or so ago around the time that one trailer came out with
the big metal gear
I only have about 2ish hours in and only got to the rest stop after the first one (I think hammerhead or something) but I like what's here so far. I forgot how slick a FF's UI and just general art direction is. Battle theme is pretty good. Doesn't stick to me like 13's but that was going to be hard to top for me personally.
I like how much they are pushing end game stuff for this. Heard from the thread and else where there is some fun stuff out there. Pretty cool that I at least know they have some end game stuff and dlc down the line

My mouth dropped from seeing the location in Chapter 9! Wow.

Basically. I'm still trying to soldier through but it's almost embarrassingly bad so far.

What's your favorite?
I'm still early, just the first sword (sweat preemptive warp strike attack!) and ax (defense-lowering a non-starter).

Sword of the tall and katana of the warrior at the moment, shuriken is fun as usual as well
Took me like an hour to figure out how to get to the end of that place.

Ah that's fine!
Currently trying to grind for the sturdy helix horn from duocorns.
Probably have spent a day with no bloody luck.

I got stuck too for a bit. You might have missed what I did. There is a very narrow ledge on a you have to go to and press a button to walk across.
I'm so glad I'm the polar opposite of this. Waiting this long for a main line FF only to hate it must be horrid!

Those with highers expectations and hype before a game is released are also those that hate it easier if those expectations aren't meet

Just got around to getting into this game. I'm at the start of Chapter Three and I have a few notes:
- Chapter 1 really DID feel like you were running across a barren landscape. I treaded out into the deserts around Leide in search for monsters and only encountered the ones that were part of certain hunts. I basically ran and ran and didn't encounter any Sabertusk or Reapertail. That changed later, though.
- I encountered two glitches. While at Galdin Quay, I managed to get stuck halfway into the inn room after talking to the guy in front of it. I had to load from a previous save to get out of it. Another glitch was visible through Prompto's pictures. After camping, we looked through the day's photos and one had all the grass clumps floating in the sky.
- Battles started off worse than in Duscae(maybe cause we were all low level), but after leveling up and gaining new skills, they've become damn fun.
- Camera is still ass at times.
- The graphics teeter between good(serviceable) and urgh(some look PS2-worthy). The reflection effect at Galdin Quay, given the day and way you are facing the sea, can make things look trippy.
- Coming out of the second tomb, we were told to return to the hunter's camp and I all of a sudden heard this noise that sounded like women and children screaming. There was a massacre going on... maybe the Niff forces were slaughtering innocents.... nah, a giant Coeurl jumped down and started attacking my party. Fuck no, I ran the fuck out of there!! That shit's animal call is the stuff of nightmares.
- The interaction among the bros and the NPCs is pretty cool. I also find it funny that a lot of the NPCs that are somewhat important to your story were given surnames.
Didn't they say they were going to include one? Man, that sucks.

Is that katana the one from the gif where Noctis is ghosting between magitek soldiers?
Really hyped on that weapon...
