??? They definitely did not recognize that he was the chancellor. They only realize who he is when he tells them from the drop ship.
Why couldn't they just
capture them right then and there?
Damn, I won't get to play for 10 days (having a guest stay over).
When I'm back all of GAF will have Platinum'd it
Fake illness. Lie in bed for half a day then tell everyone you're really sorry you can't enjoy the company and you're really bored.
When they start making suggestions on how to alleviate your boredom, steer them toward putting a tv/ps4 in your room. If it's already in your room, you've already won!
For real though, just because you have a guest you can't get any alone time? Sounds harsh dude.

I do not understand
That was the closest scene to anything you were talking about, so I thought that's what you were talking about.

I don't know about the English version,
but in the Japanese version in Lestallum he makes it very clear that he's not telling them his full name.

I'm not confused, I'm saying it's stupid.
Even if the other characters don't, you would think that Noctis would know about important political figures in other nations, especially one warring with his own.

I mean, I am at Chapter 5 in the Prologue book, which is 49 pages. It gives a lot of background as to what has happened up until the game starts.
Yea it's pretty bullshit. Best not to think about it.

What are some of the most useful technique to unlock for the bros? Regroup for Ignis seems useful for higher level hunts and dungeons.
Noctis has shown a keen disinterest in politics and his own fate.
The guy showed up out of nowhere, offers only his first name, and disappeared as quickly as he arrived. I don't think they really had time to connect the dots, and even then it would probably seem quite absurd to them that the guy would just approach them alone in the street out of nowhere.
Kind of like the Clarke Kent effect
Yeh, it's not delivered in the greatest way, but it's hardly ridiculous.
Anyway, this kind of shit happens in almost every FF. People are rose tinting the fuck out of the series by singling XV out for stuff like this.
What's better to improve for Prompt? HP or Vitality?
Gravisphere seems really nice for making it easy to cast spells on your enemies.

This is where you're getting confused I think. It's heavily telegraphed so I wouldn't say this a spoiler for you now but
capturing them may benefit the empire but it doesn't benefit Ardyn.
We don't really know
how much public exposure did Ardyn have in the world before Kingsglaive.

Just completed the game, and I'll stand by what I said, that this does manage to be a good game despite all the obvious issues. The troubled development cycle shows, especially when it comes to the story. There were times that I felt like I was missing half of the cutscenes because events didn't follow logically into each other. The plot is barely there and what is there is poorly told and at times feels like nonsense. Moments which feel like they're meant to have emotional resonance come across as forced and flat. The gameplay has its obvious issues as well, and combat fails to feel suitably strategic because of the lack of control you have over your comrades. What hurts the most though is that I can see what could have been a great product shining through at times, even when it comes to the story. It definitely feels like one of the weaker entries in the franchise overall for me.
Yet, despite all this, I find myself having fun with the game more often than not. The game's biggest strength is the four main characters, while I like some of them more than others, they all are well-written, voiced and have a great chemistry. It's fun to see them interact and follow them around, and during the times where you're adventuring together, listening to banter or watch them team up in combat I can't help but smile. Despite the problems with the combat camera and bad partner AI, the action feels good to control most of the time, and when everything is working right you feel awesome and it's a great visual spectacle. Now that I've completed the game I actually can't wait to get back into the open world and start roaming around, exploring and going on more adventures. This is a product that feels like it could and should have been a lot better, but I still feel like it was a worthwhile experience and could even see myself coming back to it some time to relive the whole adventure.
Most of all though I hope that after this game and its DLC cycle is done with that they put Final Fantasy XV and everything related to it behind them. Integrate it into the Final Fantasy canon and crossovers like all the rest of the games, but I really hope we're not in for several years worth of spinoffs. I expect that we won't hear anything about the next numbered game in the franchise until it's close to completion though, but then again you can never tell with Square Enix.
And Chapter 13 is still absolute doodoo.

Go for it. There are always tons of hunts to do to make more Gils. I think you will regret it if you don't.
Zero reason Ignis shouldn't have known who he was.

Actually, Noct seems disinterested in politics so I'm not surprised he doesn't know the dude.
I'm more surprised that the group geek, Iggy, doesn't say anything.
EDIT: Haha, beaten
If I remember correctly not even Regis knew who he was. But I could be remembering wrong.

I always just purchased the most powerful weapons available and upgraded whatever I could with cid
Ignis immediately recognized him when he said his full name.
Yeh maybe, but maybe no one on their side has seen his face before. Perhaps he operated behind the scenes. It's not hard to imagine they knew him by name only.
Unless the movies and episodes tell us otherwise I think it's safe to assume either way, therefore it remains easy to figure imo.
Of course, while I think the beats themselves are all explained well enough to understand (even Jared), all of this nonsense could have been avoided with more exposition and story telling in game.

I feel like this is the worst thing to ask I say collect some money and play around with each weapon. I went into the game with my 4 slots already thought up Nd only the gun remained on that roster. Gotta get into the Grove of what works and doesn't for your playstyles
Regis recognized him as soon as he entered the throne room.

Played about 5 hours of this today. Maaan, this game is really friggin good. The visuals are stunning, animation is great, and the combat is very fun and more challenging than I expected.

Do you all recommend I watch Brotherhood and Kingsglaive before starting 15?

Late game spoiler based complaint and question incoming!
Simple yes or no will suffice.
What the hell happened to Tennebrae? They showed glorious daytime footage of the place in March and now we just get a black shadowy silhouette? Somebody turn the damn lights back on even if this is all we get to see of it. So yeah that fucked me off big time.
Now question time. Bahamut... he's either going to only appear in the final fight or not at all right? He won't be summoned in the open world like the others?

Uh so I'm on Chapter 14 and just got to what i'm assuming is the final area. Is there suppose to be a level 72 superboss here or did I just walk the wrong way?
Yea the name but not how he looks.
Having a blast with the game so far and loving it, possibly could be the best FF for me. Put like 50 hours into the game and not beat chapter 8 yet. Been doing all the side quests.
Have some questions though.
One is concerning me cause I'm not seeing talk about it and took it for granted, but...does anyone get like a blocky effect when going through the game sometimes? I found it very common when doing Ignis' mark technique for example or just flashy moves at times. One PS4 Pro lite mode too.
Also possibly a spoiler about a hunter quest, (I'm just having a problem with it though) so to be safe:
Hope you're all enjoying the game like I am so far!

for the "Roaring into the Night" hunter quest, the two iron giants just aren't appearing for me. I'm at the location at night like it said to do and nothing appears. Anyone managed to do this yet?
Hope you're all enjoying the game like I am so far!
I think so.

I personally do seeing how it focuses more on each individual character. Prompto one is going to be great.
Well, they /clearly/ did not recognise him by sight so it's pretty safe to assume the group had never seen him before and only knew him by name.

I'm on Chapter 3 and just starting to mix treasures with spells. Should I be worried about destroying treasures I might need later?
I'm also getting that particular visual glitch whenever I order my partners to use Techs. I'm playing on Pro, HQ mode.
Yep, that's exactly what I assume. Only the highest ranking members of Lucis (Or maybe only Regis) knew of the full appearance and name of the Chancellor, until the peace treaty ceremony.

I do. Kingsglaive provides some decent world building and Brotherhood is actually VERY good and worth watching period.
They have photographs in that society.

Hell no. I dunno about Promptis but both Ignis and Gladiolis both have pretty apparent missing sections to the story which I figured will be the dlc. That new area they want to make after has my interest though.
In all honesty I imagine that last dlc with the new area is actually semi complete and comprised of cut content that would have meant a delay, but that's just a hunch.
