The use of the Kingsglaive and Omen trailer footage is jarring af. Those two and the opening scene all look way too different.

Are there any normal hunts that are worth doing late game? Level 84 now; trying to decide if it's worth grinding up my hunter rank.

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'm actually kind of confused by these Cid quests. I hand over the weapon and parts that he needs, then get a notice that it'll take time for him to work on them, go do some quests yada yada. But when I leave, the weapons are still in my inventory and I can equip them, and the quest is still open on my quest menu.

Is he supposed to take the weapons away while he works on them?

I'm starting to think maybe you just can't have those weapons until a certain chapter

Ummmm.....

When you finish the game, it asks you to save it and if you saved it then, you will automatically go back to the open world with the kingsglaive outfits, no?

Has anyone unlocked the Ascension upgrades that boost a certain stat by the number of levels? I would assume this continues working as you level up right? Would be weird if you were supposed to wait until you were very high level or max. The magic one is only 48 ap so I really want to get it, plus there's the 99 AP one that boosts by 3x your level.

As for Cid and upgrading, I gave him an item and did like 4 hunts and hasn't heard back. As soon as I slept somewhere he called me. Will try again and see if Sleeping has him call you right away (or Sleeping a few times back to back).

I thought stealth was bad enough but
tailing?
Really?

No glitch. You can go back by getting to the start of Insomnia and going to the underground station. There will be a rest stop there from where you can call Umbra.

What's the best way to make money in the game? Sell stuff?
I've been getting along by just doing hunts. can get 2 to 3 thousand gil on one.
So far, what is the general concensus about framerate with the OG PS4 ?
It's serviceable. I feel like it's not holding a steady 30 when out in the field (which is most of the time), but it's not as bad as say, Dragon's Dogma.

It's ok.

I think I'm gonna focus on really progressing the story today. I'm level 30-chapter six but there have been some decent challenges along the way. Did run into a high level griffon in the field and beat it. Thanks Ramuh lol!

Crafted some third tier magic with the drop and wow, magic is crazy ridiculous at that level.

The star boosts retroactively give for each level you have, and continue to give each level you gain from that point.

Cid seems to call you after you've completed an undetermined amount of activities and slept on it. Perhaps it's after you bank X amount of XP?
 
Chapter 10 minor spoilers:

God, the bro feels are strong here. Ignis and Gladio are breaking my heart. Great dungeon and boss fight (Marlboro) too.

As disjointed as the story is, I think I'll remember the 15 bros for a while, Square completely nailed that part so far.

i did that and i returned to the open world, but in the quests log i still have chapter
14
to finish
 
Lestalum was a big let down. Next FF game better have this open world size or bigger but with actual towns in it to visit and explore.
I do think the Battle system turned out better than I thought it would. Its quite fun to play

I beat a Midgardsomr at level 28. It would have been easier without three magitek drop offs, including the last one that dropped some level 74 giant armor that I had to run away from.

Are you sure? The last main quest will always be on the list. You can test by visiting Cidney after completing it because (post game spoiler)
She will upgrade the car to the F-Type then

Oh, so Royal Arms can never be resisted against by enemies. They're never specifically weak to them either, but for enemies like Slimes that resist all weapon types, Roual arms cut through their defenses.

Neat.

Absolutely agreed.

Like I said earlier, engaging in grocery trip simulator via sidequests really just takes away from the narrative pacing, which is already bad enough without being further mucked up.

Ultimately I think that open-world stuff is more fun than the slog of a main story, but I still feel like the wide freedom you get early on ruins any sense of pacing to the narrative.
It's the same in most RPGs and not just open world.

BG2 - big bad wants to take out everything, he did terrible experiments on you, etc.. I am just going to run around fighting spiders and looting bandits.
ME1 - Something is wiping out human colonies and other intelligent life. Normandy is going to become a mining ship and I am going on a wild Mako ride
W3 - shit hit the fan, empire is rampaging, my ward is lost. I am going to ride my horse, play card games, hunt monsters, and first fight in Taverns.
DAI - no need to even say it.

XV is not really worse then many of the above and one can always put the game on Easy, rush through the main story and come back to rest of content later.
 
Confused as to how to summon. It brings up a hold L2 prompt. I do, and nothing? Then after a while it just goes away.

I agree, this game can be confusing at times. some very weird design choices

I think you need to HOLD down the button for a while, then after a while it kicks in.

Gotta hold it down for like 8-10 seconds

Okay that's excessive, but there's a 1 second lag on disembarking the Chocobo while holding the button for no reason, the game has no shortage of weirdness.

The prompt with a button icon + down triangle = hold.

This makes no sense to me.

I never do sidequests in games because they are generally a huge waste of time BUT the combat is so fun in this game I kind of can't stop.
 
The chapter 12 set piece (
on the train
) was fantastic, much better than the confusing battle in chapter 9. But now, I'm getting near the already infamous chapter 13, wish me luck!
 
so when i go stay at a hotel or whatever it'll show an amount in gil and then another, lower amount, as if that was what is left in my wallet after paying for the room... but it isn't. what's going on?

Is there a way to make lock-on stick through an encounter? What I mean is I'll be holding R1 to lock onto an enemy, but once that one dies the lock-on will be lost even while I hold R1 and I need to let go and push it again to lock-on to the next enemy. I'm constantly getting tripped up because the little icon will appear on another enemy and I'll think I'm locked on and end up warp striking out into nothing.

Also I've been having a hell of a time doing that warp move to a high position. I did the tutorial and could only get it to work like a third of the time there. Since then I've switched control style to 2 and haven't been able to get it to work at all. During that early fight where the game prompts you to do it onto the radio tower the point was surrounded by red and no matter how I pressed or held the warp button nothing happened. I figure I'll actually need to use this move later on and would like to know how the hell it is even supposed to work.

It's literally showing you to press down, it's a very clear instruction. Not sure what's so confusing.

That apparently you need to hold it down for ten seconds or something for it to work. In what world does a game require a very long hold down without any indication it is or isn't working?

That's because you have the 50% off coupons, so it's showing you that you're paying half the price.

Ok why didnt they tell me holding r3 makes the roof come up on the regalia?

Jfc.

Wow, didn't even know this.

What is the best hotel to stay at when you've got a shit ton of exp?

I'm only on chapter 4, and best I've seen is 2x at Galdin Quay for 10k (5k with coupon). Motels cost 300 (150 with coupon) and only give 1.2x.

It says hold, so it makes sense to hold until something happens?

I don't know, it seemed obvious to me.
