ULTROS!

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.
Never realized that the save file of this game is big, mine is 600 MB lol.

What area are you in? If I think you're talking about the right place. There is one guy who is like level 76, and the rest around 40's just run past the big bloke, you should be able to handle the ready easy!

Chapter 13 or 14? You can avoid most of them in 14.

Lucis. That damn Behemoth King is wrecking my shit. I never had any issue with past Chapters, but this one just decided to be extra mean! I'm level 44. I guess I should go back in time to level up some more...

They're all 629mb~

Presumably due to it needing to keep photos (up to 150) and fish and stuff. Thankfully PS+ seems to use a different CDN for the saved data storage because I usually upload & download this save while moving between PS4s in just over a minute.

I recommend reaching at least 47 and above.
 
Chapter 13 is unequivocally one of the worst things I've encountered in a game. I'm speechless.

The narrative taking a complete shit was bad enough, and now this.

Yeah you need to beat that one. He's kinda nasty, but there is another boss worse after him so I think you should level up a bit for it. Don't be afraid to use your items though, they are really important to keep your team alive.
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
Only in chapter 2 right now but holy shit the implementation of kingsglaive early on was so bad. The entire set up of the story so far is just terrible.
 
Only played a few hours so far.

Ya know, for as much goofy, awkward shit is in this game (and there is a lot)...I'm enjoying myself quite a bit. There's this weird sort of charming, arcadey quality to it and I really like the atmosphere. The sort of Japanese take on broken down americana reminds me of stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball, and the road trip vibes really work for me. I dig that your companions are constantly talking and stuff, it actually makes them feel like characters (which is good because so far other than that the story is doing no favors to them or any other character). I like to combat too. At first I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, but some of the more challenging hunts have been fun. Hopefully it gets a little deeper in terms of move sets and strategies later on, but for early game I'm pleasantly surprised.

Stuff I don't like:
-Plot. Yeah, not much to go on here.
-Quests seem pretty barebones and NPCs are super dull.
-Cindy. What the fuck.
-NPCs look like they are from a different game.
-I will never like the anime as fuck over designed boy band look these dudes are rocking.
-Running around vast stretches of nothing. Traversal should be more fun and snappier if they don't let you take the car off road. I know you can rent chocabos later on, but I imagine you'll still be doing a lot of holding O to go over flat, barren ground, and back again.
-The world is gorgeous, and I like the art style, but it's pretty barren with not many points of interest outside of the lovely and homey outposts thus far. (I really do dig the look of the land tho, like those crumbling power line poles where you start out).

So yeah, enjoying myself more than I thought, but if the story doesn't pick up or the quests, I could definitely see myself tiring of this sooner rather than later.

You should be alright, I finished the game at level 46... What difference would two levels make! Maybe try and have plenty of healing items and keep an eye on your guys for when they go down! The end battles are awesome, you're going to enjoy them!
 
I know it'll probably never happen but it would be nice if over time they added new gameplay features or things like new magics and elements - quality of life features which would make the game still feel fresh and new and different if you decided to replay it down the line!
 
you must have had a good af PS2

Not joking, some of the textures are muddy. Watching Two Best Friends play SIlent Hill 3, I'll liken it to that game's textures. There will be places I'm walking around and every else is fine with the exception of a patch of ground or a rock doesn't look up to par with everything else. Luckily, I only encountered a few things like that. That and cutscenes loading details on right before they jumpcut(the majority of the cutscene dull until the moment before the jumpcut where the details are all brought out sharply). I think this happened in Duscae when Prompto gets Noctis to join him get the picture of the Catoblepas. Maybe it's just mine, though(my copy or my PS4).

You know I hardly touched magic throughout my whole play through, didn't feel like I was missing anything.

Magic is so good aside from accidentally hitting your teammates with it. Nothing is as satisfying as throwing out Quintcast III then seeing Blizzaga, Firaga, and Thundaga all go off one after the other and seeing the enemy melt.
 
Spoilers for Chapter 10
Uh Gladio is being a bit of an asshole don't you think?, I mean he did lose his father and recently the love of his life wtf dude cut him some slack. Ignis being blind sucks but Noctis is losing things too.

Are those random imperial soldiers based on your level, the chapter you are or just random level? I keep getting lvl 47 enemies from the ships ;(
 
I heard this from someone at one point, and just had it happen to me: Prompto's gravity sphere move has a weird interaction with spells. I used it, then hit with a quadcast spell and the game just fucking hard locked. Maybe it's just a bug, but I have a feeling it might just be too many physics calculations at once.
 
Gladio
lost his father too
so everyone is going thru something shitty.. ignis best bro T_T



Mix with items

I can empathize to a degree but he went about it all the wrong way especially with how he shoved Prompto. Wtf at Luna getting Aerith'd and can't recover her body for a proper burial.

So, I just watched the first Brotherhood episode, but I'm really wanting to dive into the game, am I missing much if I watch the rest (and Kingsglaive) intermittently while playing the first 10 hours or so?

I would HIGHLY recommend watching Kingsglaive at first. As a matter of fact I would say it's almost essentially viewing because the events of the movie are at the heart of the game.


Also fishing mini games suck universally. Am I the only one that has issues getting fish to bite?
