Yeah seriously though, fuck Coeurls.

I thought one was hard...... until I fought 3 at the same time.

They are so fast and hard to keep up with them. Do they cast death spell or something?

Aamzing moveset and attacks overall though. Kudos to the designers. Easily one of my favorite enemies in the game.
 
So I kinda fucked up. Sold the Engine Blade and only realized it now. I don't wanna reload my save from hours ago just to get it back though... Is one able to buy the sword somewhere? Or did I lose it forever?

Just started Chapter 7... I haven't really had the opportunity to do sidequests since Chapter 3, does the game open up a little again in Chapter 8 at least?

End of chapter 4/first minute of chapter 5 story comment

So we go from being saved by the empire's chancellor (or whatever Ardyn is), to then just casually chilling at the chocobo ranch.

Was there really nothing to show of that ride over? Our party didn't have any questions or anything

All the interactions with him are pretty awkward. The biggest question mark is
is how none of them knew who he was. Am I missing something about Ardyn being a new chancellor or something? And when he reveals his last name Ignis immediately recognized him, like what? His last name was enough but not his first? You've never seen a picture of him? Am I forgetting something from Kingsglaive? I don't know.

No. You aren't forgetting anything. He is handled pretty terribly all around.

Just hit Chapter 3 with my party at LVL. 18, feel I'm doing okay so far - still need to get a better handle on combat & handling mobs but I'm enjoying the game a lot. The first dungeon/tomb was a lot of fun & I look forward to doing more of them. Tomorrow it's time to do a bunch of sidequests & monster hunts!

Like I said, I got the trophy and the characters commented on it but person was nowhere to be seen in my pics lmao

that's pretty weird. well if you're lucky they might appear again in a photo like they did for me a few minutes ago lol

i wonder if she's showing up so often because i'm doing sidequests before heading to altissia like she asked me to lol

After playing more of this game...I definitely need to import the OST. It's amazing.

What's the best place4 to pre-order it? I know a few places have different pre-order items, mostly sticker decals. I noticed Amazon Japan has a listing that includes an "unreleased trailer music compilations" CD. Anyone know what that is? It's an extra $10 or so, but I wouldn't mind if it was something cool. If not, I guess I'll just order from CDJapan for the sticker sheet.

So it seems that the characterization/relationships/little details shine a lot more than the main story? I can deal with that. Sounds pretty good that way actually.
 
Chapter 6:

I think I have a problem.

Hey guys I've been noticing a issue in dungeons and sometimes during fights but when I use healing items they have no effect. My characters do not have any status effects like posion so it's nothing negating it as far as I can see.

It seems like a glitch I continue to encounter as I'm sitting here watching my characters not auto recover or when I use a potion, the health doesn't recover.

Any ideas or am I just missing something?
 
I'm about the same. Just hit chapter 6 and Noctis and friends are about lvl 32.

I was more referring to my stock of EXP and AP, lol. I've been trying to abuse the EXP bonus and warp strike killing to get as much as possible. I want to get to something like 500k EXP for all characters and then rest at Galdin Quay for the 2x modifier.

I'm genuinely wondering if I can hit the level cap before I even reach Altissia.

Use potions and hi potions only if your chaeacters still have grey hp bars they can still generate. If the bar is black, you need to use elixirs.

damn. where/what did you farm?

also, a few random thoughts:
loading screens are way too long. put music in em if they're gonna be that long
+ speaking of music, how come you can use the music player while walking but not while riding a chocobo? there's like... no time that it makes more sense to travel on foot rather than via chocobo (or car obv)

Noctis doesn't really seem that excited to get married... or he's hiding his true feelings really well.

Oh and the chef at Gualdan Quay who tried to flirt with Noctis during the cat quest.... lol
 

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.

or ignis
or gladio

Just anything, really. I thought the EXP bonus gave a percentage increase, but I think it might add a flat addition to the exp for the encounter, because it generally didn't vary too much between encounters, although I didn't try using it on anything really low level. Mostly just Iron Giants, Bandersnatch, Magitek Axemen or Assassins. Using a spell with EXP Bonus 96 one time would make it so that I'd end up getting something like 20k exp at the end of the encounter, which struck me as being absolutely insane.

My dislike for the battle system, reached a new high after fighting the Coeurls with their one shot attack. No windup, no clear visual clue, can't be guarded, is just fucking unfair. Is even worse when you AI team of dumbfucks dosn't know how to deal either and are constantly dying.

It wouldn't be that bad if you fought one, but with five constantly running in circles is just bad enemy pattern design. One of the times I wasn't even attacking the one that killed me. He was just close to the one I was comboing.
 
You know, the "PS2 game" comments are really unfair.

But there is indeed something decidedly last-gen about traversal in this game. I'm by the
volcano
right now, and there is just a disgusting sea of rocks that I cannot climb over, for no apparent reason other than there being invisible walls preventing Noctis from ascending anything over half a meter.

I think that's the one that they do when you attack them while they're healing. The impression that I got after trying to fight them and failing miserably, and this made the second time a lot easier, was that you don't want to let them run off and heal. I just ended up picking one Coeurl and did not let it get away from me so it wasn't able to get into that stance. If I wanted to attack one that was healing, I just used magic. I thought a firearm might work, but didn't try it.

If I purchase the Seasons Pass are the Holiday Pack and Booster Pack available to use day one? Or are they locked like the 3 episodes until release?

So I have mine now, downloading the 9+ GB patch. Won't play until the morning....
I mean, I don't think I'll be able to wait until The Last Guardian comes out before I play FFXV, like I had planned. Who was I kidding!

This game is basically Final Fantasy meets Xenoblade Chronicles, which is in my top 5.

This game may make my top 10. Goddamn I am so fucking hooked (13 hrs, chp 3 , lvl 19 sitting on 9400 exp and a hotel waiting for me)

Yeah it's damn great. I'm 20 hours in and just finished CH4.

There's so much stuff to do and I dunno, the main story seems to keep me in it's grasp very well despite being sparse.

I'm not sure I'd even say that. I'm up to Chapter 9 and I've only seen one scene of credible character development and it was optional. Maybe it'll change later on but for now, the bros are mostly content to fall into their tropes.
 
Does it ever get more fun to travel? Do you guys end up reverse driving to get to your destination sometimes?

Will I get a mech eventually in this game?

Everything is decent so far, but getting around is kinda lame. Lack of roads and shit.

enjoying this quite a bit.

like I still want to play more...but I gotta sleep because I gotta go to work tommorow.

The Dragons Dogma and XBX vibes are real. Those are two of my favs games of the last 10 or so years. This aimless wander around and do stuff "genre" is what I want.

The combat hasn't quite clicked completely; I hate the lockon and two of the weapon types but I am getting the hang of it. The few dungeons I stumbled on were super neat in how scary them shits are woooo. I even like the car; its weirdly relaxing lol.

Gonna move the story forward tommorow (only on chapter 1).

but if this keeps up, it might just be my GOTY.

Too early to call that tho..

especially if chapter 13 is as bad as hyped up to be.
