fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
Is there anyway to make Ignis Analyze more often? I don't particularly care for Wait Mode so Libra is out.

Sadly no, can't input what your teammates are doing at all outside of techs. It's incredibly annoying as I also don't want to use Wait mode.

Wow, I was only getting weak magitek soldiers showing up by airship but I finally got level 47 Magitek Assassin's while I was traveling at night. Wild. I'm level 40 now so it's to be expected I guess but first time is surprising.

Might be, but even then the game has plenty of crappy textures and bland environments.

It definitely doesn't look "almost real", but it does look incredibly striking at times.

I agree with this. The game looks pretty good overall, especially in dungeons, but is generally a little bland, though I attribute the blandness more to the emptiness of the world. I find the HQ mode on the PS4 Pro causes frame drops and my fans to whirr away loudly for almost no noticeable improvement in graphics quality.

Prompto is by far the weakest in my party. At level 30 he is constantly holding me back in most fights. What weapons and gear have people been equipping him with? I want to have him equip the Camera Strap but it feels like I shouldn't waste the accessory slot until I unlock his 3rd slot for it.

I have him using the Circular Saw gun in his Secondary weapon slot also, is there a better weapon he should have?
 
Chapter 13:

Oh here's that thing you need to get to. It's right behind this railing. Oh you think you should be able to climb a railing like a normal human being? Nah, here have a brief shitty stealth section instead.

Actually Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are very turn-based, as both you and the enemy wait for openings in a one on one battle lol....

That's not turned based though, turned based would be like you attack, the enemy waits for your turn to end before it can act.

Dark souls is the complete opposite of what turn based means.

Wow, I stayed at a hotel and it triggered a 1 on 1 talk between Prompto and Noctis discussing his past. Cool! =o

Just finished Chapter 2 at 10 hours. Chapter 2 itself seemed pretty short though. Are the later chapters actually longer.

Well, the open world chapters are pretty much as long as you want them to be. As for the linear chapters some are very, very short and some are quite long (and some go on for much longer than you'll want them to). If you just rush through the story you're going to get to the end within 20 hours or so though. But you may need to grind some before tackling the final few areas if you do that.

Every chapter is pretty short. The only reason chapter 1 feels long is cause you're thrown into the open world and can end up doing a lot of side stuff and exploring. Chapter 3 will feel the same.

I had a giant lvl.76 mecha attack me once near Hammerhead when I was only lvl.28.

I've only gotten Ramuh to summon too, no Titan. Though it seems random, once he appeared during an easy fight with one crab left lmao. I felt bad nuking that poor crab.

Each time you level up with the node active it adds to that stat. So if you select the STR node, every level up your STR increases.

It retroactively adds points for your current level. So it doesn't matter when you activate it, you won't miss out.

I'm in the late phase of the story and my partyboys gets wrecked in almost every fight... Every bigger monster has somekind of big aoe attack which they just can't dodge. So I'm spamming potions to keep them alive, or just letting them die and solo the encounter. Am I doing something wrong, have I missed an upgrade to make the boys smarter?

am I the only one having a lot of trouble with fighting?

im still at the beggining, only about 4-5 hours in. My team is around lvl 12 (tgats what it says on the gear screen) but I struggle a lot fighting lvl 6 enemies.. For example, the sniper ones or with the guns fuck me up real bad

or I was trying to fight a pack of level 12 garudas and getting stomped too, needed to basically get revived like 5 times. The fact that you cant dosge during an attack animation kills me

am I the only one having difficulty

So here are some beginner questions:

1) What should the settings be for the camera?
2) What and how many of the items should I sell to start with?
3) Can I miss side quests by progressing to a new chapter?

Do anyone know about this? I'm so afraid of doing something wrong or miss out on something on my first playthrough.

Guys, I need this answered before I open up my copy.

Environments, how varied are they? im so tired of the plains/desert look we have seen for the past decade.

Is there plenty more? % wise how much have we seen environmentally?

2) Some items are needed for quests, and they can also be used as catalysts when crafting magic spells. I personally didn't sell anything, and never really felt like I needed extra gil.

3) Don't think so.

OHHH ! and difficulty trophies, can I play on easy and still platinum?

No, you need to be on normal for the platinum.
 
Has anyone heard about not being able to dash with your chocobo out in the wild? I was able to for a brief time, but now the dash option never highlights anymore no matter what type of terrain I'm on. Is there something I'm not understanding, or is this a glitch? I'm only in the middle of chapter 3, so I don't want to go searching this on my own in fear of spoilers.

So can I sell all of the "treasures" or should I hold onto them? I'm on chapter 3.

Also Iris is a cute kid, I like her character so far.
 
Why in the hell did they add an outfit system and have no other outfits to unlock in the game besides those unlocked via the story which is like apparently 2 more.

The behemoth jacket is apparently not even able to be gotten via in game. So luckily I got the premium edition with the suit.

Seems pointless to add this system if you're going to have 90% of the outfits unlocked from the start.

Closing the game or restarting the console will fix 99% of the issues. Vanishing characters, button prompts not working, etc.

Sounds like Tales.

Balancing act between the fact you need to sell some to gain Gil, and you need to retain some for upgrades/spell crafting.

Buy new weapons and use the ascension grid, I think. Sounds like you aren't doing enough damage. I was getting bodied too. That helped

Yeah I wished there were more outfits.
