Brotherhood is weird in that some events happen concurrently with the game, but don't happen in the game so I'm not sure how to take it in canon (like the reveal happens differently in Brotherhood if I recall right). That said the bigger focus is on characters backstory. You probably won't miss out too much in the grand scope of things.
Kingsglaive is much more important.
I thought it was based on chapter.
I did a load of quests in Chapter 3 but they were always 16. Now on Chapter 4, they seem to be 18.
That said, they do sometimes drop a random level 50 odd mech. -.-

Ehhh. More on Chapter 10
Yeah Gladio is being really unlikable this chapter and that's due to Iggy going blind offscreen so there's no context and Gladio bitching the whole way as if Noctis made him go blind.

So I did side-quests for three hours so I could just plow through the main story after. And I've gone from 2k gil to over 40k and from 100xp waiting to over 37k lmao.

Is there a list of where all the "Tours" are somewhere? Like which camps you should rest at? I've only found two so far. Not even sure how many there are in the game.

Chapter 8 already. It's weird how little side content I am doing outside of few select chapters. Most feel like they are best suited for linear progression with some mild side tracking.

Has anyone gotten the Engine Blade fully upgraded? I need someone to tell me there is a light at end of tunnel.
Altissia, Royal Suite. 30,000 gil for 3x XP.
I'm fully aware of that.
However
a) Wasn't always Insta Kill, it could miss, or do something else. Like I remember X and VIII it could petrify instead.
b) Noctis dying means game over unless you act quick enough, unlike other games. The only exception being XIII but Coeurls weren't in that game as far as I remember. Much larger punishment.
c) Phoenix Downs can be quite dear if you aren't doing a lot of the side content, in comparison to other FInal Fantasy games as most other games were more kind with gil. (Besides XII which had the same money system as XV)
I dunno, I think they're rather strong enemies in general for their level. Especially when you consider there's a level 34 hunt to kill 5 of them. Yeah, good luck doing that at level 34!

That is where I am. I saved right by Duplicorns in bounty, put difficulty on Easy, and have broken their horns at least 30 times. Going fucking crazy. Reload, repeat and fail, load to do again.
I GOT ONE! WOOOOO

Anyone else getting a camera bug mid gameplay where it stops rotating?
I had it happen earlier today. Couldn't rotate the camera until I got into another battle and an enemy did a strong attack which forced the camera to budge.
Just played chapters 10, 11, and some of 12. Easily the best the game has been so far. The whole game should have been like this. Also the storytelling is suddenly consistent, the set pieces good, level design solid... Everything has been bumped up a notch in quality.
I suspect this section is something they were just able to pull from versus 13 without having to change everything. The seams just don't show here like they do in the rest of the game.

YIKES!! Eehh... Camping under the stars doesn't sound do bad...

Needless to say, considering it was
one big dungeon with lots of daemons, that wasn't funt
I feel like the idea here is you'd only want to use it after farming up a few truckloads, in which case you'd be swimming either in hunt rewards or drop sales anyway.
Is there any way to see all of the combat tips/rules/etc that the game glosses over briefly once? I feel like I only half-paid attention to a lot of the tutorials in the beginning, and now at level 15 I'm getting destroyed by the massive groups of level 16 soldiers/mechs that drop constantly. Prompto is dead within seconds every time, and even when he's up his health never seems to rise beyond around the halfway point between battles. There's so much going on when the battles are that large that I can tell what's happening any given second, and suddenly 3/4 of the team is in danger. I'm looking for some decent explanation of all the systems in play, basically.
I have upgraded the engine blade fully and have gotten
Ultima Blade
I used the food from ignis that gives 50% higher enemy droprate got it on the 3rd try with that.
I really liked those chapters as well.

I have had this for a few days now......
Still not sure I want to open it. I haven't played a Final Fantasy game since FF8.
I watched Kingsglaive and liked it, I watched the anime and loved it. I would love to dive into something that feels like a part of that world, but I want it to be meaningful and emotional.
Should I open it up or wait for a sale?
I know Kotaku said "if this isn't a final fantasy game then I dont know what is" but do others here feel that way too? Is this a final fantasy game worth having?
Guide me GAF!

Just a question early game.. chapter 2 or 3 can't remember. No story spoilers but I just wanna be careful so I'll spoiler tag it even though its mostly about the combat system.
I'm level 20-21 and just met Iris, I'm supposed to go to the tomb behind the water fall but there are a few enemies in front of it, I think they were crabs. THey're only level 18 and I believe I have the best equipment I can find but they completely destroy me. Am I missing something and doing something wrong? My entire party dies before we can kill even 1 of them. =\

I'd say there's enough interesting things going on that it's worth a play.
Don't expect all story all the time though.

I skipped the tutorial. Got ten times better when I went back and did it in full. Also, I prioritized strength way too much early on. I started stacking defensive/vitality items on team and it helped. Finally, I thought Wait would suck for combat mode, but it is fantastic. It only kicks in when you stand still, and gives you easy use of libra to get your enemies weaknesses understood. Oh...and magic is damn strong. I didn't use it at all at first. Once I got familiar with it, I did much better.

Need some help. In Chapter 2
when you're in the second tomb if you finish that quest will the chapter turn over and tally all your EXP? I have quite a bit saved up and would rather use it at the hotel than just regular.

I didn't know about that food, and I just finally got the horn. Fuuuuu
In other news I'm truly running out of normal sidequests now
Got the "Weaving a Tapestry" silver Trophy for 80 sidequests and am currenlty in chapter 8
Also reached hunter rank 6 and currently at 10 royals arms found, I'm guessing the rest of them will be through story...
Also damn
had some really hard parts even for me at lv70 ....

Is Gladiolus a bit overpowered?
He seems to be able to survive basically anything. Helps my retreats a lot when he's singlehandedly fighting a crowd of enemies lol

It's okay if there's no story ALL the time as long as there is some sort of underlying emotional/sentimental drive to everything.
