The hotel near the beach?
Couldn't find any motel omw. :/

To be clear you're referring to the scene between Noctis and
Prompto
right? This is where the scene occured for me.

bad gameplay lol
Could someone remind me where
Midgar Zolom
is? I ran across it once, but didn't want to try my luck fighting it at the time, and now I forget where it was.

So, I kept playing even though I found the first few hours to be quite boring. I also got used to the so-so voice acting and subpar writting and now I am genuinely enjoying the game... a lot. It kinda clicked with me after 7 hours or so; it helps when you get past the boring fetch quests of the beginning (and once you unlock the chocobos) learning skills, buying better gear and "mastering" the combat mechanics.
Hopefully it will keep getting better!

Anyone experiencing weird enemy spawns? I'll just be running in an empty area and monsters will spawn on top of me. Another one I've noticed is a lamp in a tunnel will load slower than the rest and trigger the night time monsters then the light loads and they disappear. This one's annoying because it stops the car.
 
Old man Cid's been working on my weapons for like 3-4hrs now. And to add insult to injury he's always sitting on his ass when I go and check up on him

I had to get some sleep after playing chapter 13. Stopped playing for a bit. I'm gonna proceed after I get beck from work, but I'm scared to do so lol.

Loving the game so far but somebody please tell Prompto to stomp getting himself in Danger. This kid just won't stop. Gladio and I are really the only guys taking monsters down. Ignis is barely doing anything either.

You HAVE to bark out orders just to keep them functional.

So far, what is the general concensus about framerate with the OG PS4 ?

It's fine. I come from a long time PC background with big thoughts about 60fps being the standard, and I'm not finding any issues.

Aparently I'm not sensitive to frame pacing issues if they are happening, bi trhe actual frames seem solid for the most part.

I know it will get better, but boy is that opening Chapter boring and a really poor intro to the game. I'm also not particularly impressed with the graphics, playing on a Pro/4K. And maybe I'm just tiring of JRPG sensibilities, but the aesthetics are just so...corny. The female mechanic, everyone's stupid hair, the random, cornball southern american accents, the constant gasping during custscenes. Not feeling it at all, but I'll try to persevere.

Chapter 3 here and having a hard time with this game. There's a lot I like about it but the side quest are so, so bad. Some of the worst I've seen in an open world game. The main quests so far aren't much better but at this point I think I'm going to have to ignore my OCD with completing every quest and instead just stick to the main quests.

Also, so far the open world is so boring. They went for scope over detail so we're just left with wide open areas with nothing interesting in except for 1-3 "set piece" structures for mood. Pretty much any Ubisoft open-world destroys this as far as visual interest, variety, and detail goes.

I don't know why, but Carbuncle was in one of Prompto's pics at the camp

Did that happen to any of you? I thought he was easy mode exclusive.

Upgrade the team work tree, unlock two accessories. You can make them more effective.

For some reason just talking to the owner and adding it to my map doesn't let me fast travel there. Only ones I've been to let me so that.
Weird. I can definitely fast travel to the ones I haven't physically been to.

Dumb question but you are trying to fast travel using the car's auto drive right

Holy crap I am having so much fun with this game, I really don't think any game the last years have made me want to play a game. I am taking my time and am now in chapter 5 after 25 hours, level 39 and getting better and better with the combat. I see that many of you don't like the sparse story, but I find i to be good enough and far more interesting than The Witcher 3 which seems like everyone's favorite here. By far the GOTY, but also GOTG for me. No matter how much it falls apart in the later chapter (if it even does) going back to the open world and just running around finding new interesting spots/enemies/dungeons is just so much fun.

Ranking the FFs (that I played when they were released) right now. FFVII, FFXV, FFXII, FFIX, FFVIII.

Thank you Square for delivering this great game!

This
empire base
in chapter 5 is like a maze. wtf

Switched to easy now. It's not more fun but I'll take over hiding behind trees and reloading the game with those loading times.
 
What I like most about FFXV right now is randomly getting into battles with high leveled monsters. I love these hunts....brings back memories of FFXII.

Side note: Never knew how much I liked XII until I played XV. Definitely looking forward to getting the Zodiac edition.

You know, I really like that you can go back to the open world at any time after the "transition", I guess you'd call it, to the more linear part of the game, but it's kinda awkward (MASSIVE CHAPTER 9/10 SPOILERS HERE)
going from Gladious being super pissed at Noctis and Ignis being blind to everything being cool again
. I understand there's no way they could do it and have it make sense, though. Price you pay for years of development hell, I guess.

There is a level 53 Griffin in Duscae along with Level 53 Midgar Zolom. I know about the Bandersnatch but it is not really Level 53.

Any other high level enemies you encountered?

You're having problems with combat? It's definitely not hat hard that you should be switching to easy.

What issues are you having specifically? We might be able to help.

Or is it just that particular mission?

Can anyone give me an estimate of about how long I have left, hoping to try and finish the game today.

I just got off the train and met Araena in chapter 12.

I wish that they wouldnt stop you from controlling noctis when you use the bro attacks.

Perfekt would be if they just did their attack and than you can press the button to follow up. I dont know why its not like this.

It's this way because it leaves you invincible for the time the animation plays out. You're supposed to abuse this feature when battles get hectic.

Gladio: Hold your chocobos.

lol. As in hold your horses.

Ha, this game can be so damn charming at times.

I changed my car into the Golden Chocobo then Platinum Levithan then HammerHead.

Anybody got a extra Cidney car skin? Somebody on GAF actually promised they would give it to me... I wanna say it was SOLDIER.... *coughs loudly*

This is the most fun I've ever had riding a chocobo. Regardless of how the story turns out, I love the world they've created.
