As someone who didn't care for the combat due to the camera never being where I wanted and hordes of bad guys that love to keep you constantly flopping over....switch difficulty to easy and combat to wait mode. I loved it a lot more then.
Exp is seperate for each party member, right? So if you want 20% bonus on each, you probably need it on each member. Or does it specifically say it applies to whole party?

It's was the mines wasn't it? Same thing happened to me. I'm not going back until I level up a lot more.

This game is well suited to remote play. It's really cold tonight, so I'm lying in bed w/ my MacBook, cosy under my blankets and playing FFXV.

It would have been fine if it was like twenty minutes. The amount of shit you have to
turn on and switch and get access to is just insane padding.

My latest bug was the red bar at the top that appears during an enemy encounter (including THAT sound) would not go away, even after the encounter was over. It persisted through cutscenes (red bar at the top, the sound and all), and even going back to the title screen it was still there LOL. Had to quit, and thankfully the save game didn't save that part of it.
First off, go and do some sidequests. You're definitely underleveled and you're going to need the experience for Chapter 14 anyway. But even with that, Ravus is frustrating as fuck. It's basically a battle of attrition where you whittle down his HP over a long period of time. There's no way to speed up the process so just get in there and make sure you have a bunch of healing items.

I'll check which meal it is, but I think Ignis picked it up from some ingredients I acquired around Galdin Quay.

You mean like in the car? Noticed that too

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
On chapter 13 boss:
Spam techniques and magic, use a greatsword when you can. Bring LOTS of potions for when your bros inevitably die a thousand times.
I am really enjoying the game. I thought the combat in the demo's were really shit but have grown to like it in the full game, even if it can get really messy when you are fighting many enemies.
What I find to be complete and utter trash in the game is some of the side quests, my god are these bad. Have wasted way too much time running around a fucking pond looking for a yellow frog.

Yeah it's happen in the car and when we were sleeping at a place for the night. The characters keep talking but I hear nothing.
You play for treasure, which you get by getting treasure chests (those things that look like cubes of wood) and racking up a score which corresponds to a prize. 99 treasure chests is the max, so if you've surpassed that, you can get the top prize by either quitting or playing until you lose. Beyond that and you're just playing for your high score. I don't think it ends, but I might be wrong.

LMAO I just caught a fish and gladio said to Prompto "puny, just like yours"
I've beaten the Tonberry Knights at level 79 or so. They're quite tough but Orichalcum + a lot of parrying makes short work of them as they're weak to both Daggers and Holy element. Helps that I have an Adaman Bangle boosting my HP to 9999 I guess. Ignis and Prompto didn't survive but that's becoming a regular occurrence with the tougher enemies.
I'll do the rest tomorrow.

Side quests are hit and miss. Some of them send you to interesting areas or even dungeons, but some are pure tedium (go here and collect this rock, frog, tag, etc.)
It's like there are three games on this one disc.

I do have to admit, most sidequests are bit poo. like I am fine with hunts, but not sidequest for a really weird reason... sidequests feel more intrusively endless. Like, you completed one quest, it instantly gives you another and then next one and then next one. With hunts, I see the layout of available ones and pick them, here, there's no real sense when this thread is going to end, as a result it feels more tedious than it should...

Mineshaft. The boss was a man with a sword/katana.
Yeah It's that. I just did experiment with red golems to make sure how it works.
Thanks. I'm at 87, so I guess I might as well go the rest of the way lol.
This has been a "problem", so to speak, present in non-linear videogames for a long time and will exist even more as scale and storytelling gets more realistic. Remember in FF7 you can run around breeding chocobos while a meteor looms around the planet.

There's a certain level of lee-way you get with goofy sci-fi and fantasy settings I think. But like you said, as game try to become more grounded and realistic in terms of say story and visuals, that kind of narrative-gameplay incoherence becomes more and more apparent to me.
when fighting multiple enemies try to stay outside and pick one enemy at a time. at-least that's how you do it. also pick up the dodging perks from skill tree early, that way you will be able dodge attacks while your on air.
you should be getting tons of side quests when you reach chapter 2-3, there are marked on the map as question marks.
Just finished the game.
Wow... Dat ending... I was really holding those eye waterfalls. One of the best endings in the franchise, it really got to me...
10 years. Seeing this game to completion was truly a journey.
I'm really grateful to Tabata, Nomura and all the development team who clearly poured their hearts and passion into this project.
But the journey continues! This game is just too good to leave it at that. Now, for the post-game stuff! Let's explore the world from corner to corner.
Was the game perfect? No. It had issues. Lots of them.
Was I disappointed in several areas? Yes. Quite a few.
Was I happily surprised with new things I did not expect? Absolutely!
Was the 10 year wait worth it? Yes. It was. I feel really content. All those years awaiting for information. Hungrily devouring every scrap of information that Square would throw at us during the "dark ages" of the Versus project. Then the re-reveal as the new numbered entry in the series. I followed all. No other game could match my anticipation for this one. And here I am still!
I won't stop playing just yet! Way too much to do and see. But if I had to rate this game, it would be 9.0/10.
Problems with the narrative, wasted characters that seemed very important and interesting, a couple of terrible dungeons,
Was it the absolutely perfect Final Fantasy game that I imagined in my head? No. Those things are enough to prevent me from giving this game a perfect score.
But as I said before, the positives outweigh the negatives. Incredibly likeable protagonists, an amazing combat system, a beautiful world, a majestic soundtrack, a good sense of humor. It's not really a contest. After feeling absolutely nothing for the casts of XII and XIII, to the point of not caring about their ultimate fates, I had a blast with this game. After being disappointed with XII and XIII, at last I feel I'm playing a numbered Final Fantasy game again.

So, is there like a list of sidequests that are worth taking? This is long drives, or long load times, for fetch quest central..
I don't want to cruise through the story, but I can't quite figure out how to play this game without simply dragging things out.

I had many, MANY great shots with the group. I knew everybody would choose that picture, so I tried to be original.
But fuck it, it has the Regalia in it. The group is not complete without the Regalia.

Basically. I'm really not sure how anyone who has played any other RPG released in the last five years can think this game excels in any regard. I'm a little shocked at how behind the curve it is.

I know that you especially have been really looking forward to the game for a while now. I am so glad that you loved the ending! Makes all the long hours worth it.
