You'll be fine. The boss you just faced is far harder than anything required in Chapter 14.

Some hunts are seriously hard. I'm on level 18, and a hunt of recommended level 12 killed me. I literally could not get a shot in.

What TV do you have?
Guys I dont know. I am trying to ignore my disappointment with the game i am trying to understand the reasoning behind these choices and be patient with what the game has in store for me but, I can no longer accept it.
The world they have created is just not interesting enough. Massive lands where the only things you see around are rest areas gas stations and farms.
Its bland, feels not interesting enough to explore. It doesnt even make much sense as a world either. Not even a village around just endless roads and gas stations and dungeons and just a couple of towns.
I am not trying to shit on the game but i was expecting a better world, more interesting one. To make me want to explore it. I am looking at these fields in FFXV and i just dont feel the urge to explore. Its feels... dead.
I am still on Chapter 12 and i put down the controler because it took me like 3 hours to go from chapter 8 to 12... its laughable really, the campaign sounds like a bad joke, something i would never have believed if someone told me that this is it.
What can i say, if the final chapters are godlike then i can somehow fathom it. But i highly doubt it.
This is probably the disappointement of the year for me so far.

wow chapter 9...
Mate, if you read the thread you'd know that there are a ton of you right there with you on all of this. There's a huge amount of disappointment around, tempered by the fact that we knew this game was struggling in development hell.
And honestly, chapter 13 is what most people consider the worst part of the game, so... brace yourself.
Wow positive or wow negative?
Samsung JS7000F. I thought if I used HDMI 1 it could handle full range RGB.
That seems to make no difference. I set it to 2160 RGP (automatic select YUV422). Black level is low, brightness around 48-51. HDR standard mode. I just cant' get that white cactuar too appear.
From what I can tell there is no difference with RGP and YUV on my screen.

Finished Chapter 13, it was like getting out of purgatory.
I disagree with the notion that second half plot is much better, still chomping chunks of plot like nothing else. Everything feels rushed, I mean it has been better, but not by much.

Explaining the whole downfall of the empire throught documents, Bahamut being basically a lore book, the emperor speech on his death ("lol wanna conquer wolrd yadda, yadda")
I think one of my sidequests bugged out. I'm trying to complete the quest "Almost Out of Hope," where you have to rescue someone who's calling for help. The quest area is a large, wooded area, and I've run around it for about 20 minutes, nobody to save. I've killed all the enemies multiple times, still no person. Anyone else had this problem?
When you interact with it you get in item so that's the story I'm going with
Thanks! Guess I'll jump right in.

Managed to collect all the Royal Arms. That
dungeon was by far the hardest thing I encountered in the game. Some of the battles were simply ridiculous.
Also I wonder why Square Enix put a trophy for
. He was easy and not even the main final boss. Just feels weird.

Wow, at some point in chapter 13, Yoko Shimomura just went with a very obvious
homage. Anybody else notice that? Nice, at least I can count on her to keep me entertained.

Man, why did they have to scrap the original invasion plan we've seen from past trailers? I think it would've been more interesting to have some of the game set within Lucis and then go out of the open world, ala FF VII. This open world stuff is just so bland, but I do like the characters and the combat, but with the narrative... I can see why people would have gripes with the story, because it isn't cohesive and there's supplemental material outside of the game that's connected.

You do have HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color enabled for that HDMI input, right?
All of my settings on the PS4 Pro are set to automatic (I had it on YUV420 before)
On the tv, my black level is set to "low". OLED light is 100 and contrast is 100, tv brightness is 50.
With things set up like this, I can see the cactuar perfectly w/ the in-game brightness set to 50
edit - One other thing.. are you going through a receiver or direct to the TV?
lastly, make sure your color gamut for HDR Standard (in expert controls) is set to 'normal'
Hold it for a few seconds

condensing a trilogy and reworking the script added to this mess, Nomura got robbed and Tabby couldn't even accomplish whatever vision he had for the game. The potential wasted is just damn shame:

What is considered phasing? Just defending or dodging? Warping? Warp attack? I ask because of the thieves way accessory. Does it make warping in combat cost less mp?

Any reason why they scrapped Nomura's ideas in the first place? And I heard Nomura isn't in the ending credits at all? Did he get the Konami/Kohima treatment or something?

So... I don't know guys, I'm really not feeling it, and I really wanted to like this, being this my first Final Fantasy game and how it was supposed to be "a final fantasy for first timers and fans".
After spending my first 10-11 hours I just can't any motivation to keep going. First of all, I just can't get into the combat system, sure I can pull some cool looking moves here and there but most of time it's just chaotic and unwieldly, and the camera goes to shit every time I fight more than a couple of enemies, combine that with the fact that the enemy telegraphing is really poor also.
The side quests and hunts became a chore really quickly just like the long drives you have to take to get anywhere. I guess it's cool that you can listen to the soundtrack of previous games, but since this is my first FF game, nostalgia is not really a factor for me, I was expecting some more interaction between my party during this trips but most of the time they are just dead silent. At least you get some beautiful vistas
And then there is the main story, I'm not engaged by it. Not At all.
Only good thing for me right now are some of the production values, graphics and original music are excellent. But nowhere near enough to keep me interested. Maybe I should take a break.

Royal Suite in Altissia, next to the regular one in the Hotel. You can see two bed icons. 30000 g
I'm not sure how to respond without getting into spoiler territory, but I've been typing up a post for the spoiler thread on more in-depth thoughts on the open world of FFXV as it were, for better or worse. Probably in a day or two.

FF13 trilogy. After the reception for that game I guess Square was perhaps gun shy doing another trilogy.
I can't imagine any genre of game in 2016 where that level would be deemed acceptable for a high-budget, AAA production. It's nowhere near OK.
The amount of design sins it commits is insane
-Telling important story beats through books on a table
-Entire thing is small corridors but your camera and battle system can't handle that
-Stealth that would be considered poor / basic 15 years ago (your only options are a basic 'hide in gap in wall' or 'keep dodging emeny until it dies'
-Awful pacing
-Stripping the character of his powers and thereby removing the one thing the game does semi-decently (the battle system)
-The level does not feel at all like a real place or facility, it's like something out of the PS2 gen in that regard, it's clearly just a 'level'
-An enemy that pursues you through the second half of the level but can't go through doors, so it just stands at doors going through its attack animations
-Not telling you said enemy is not defeatable, so you do what i did and spend 30 minutes trying to defeat it
-Having QTE jumpscares everywhere
-Making it so that type C users can't complete said QTEs
-Killing the presumptive big bad (the emperor) off screen and then saying he was the demon, "fuck it that'll do"
-The ludicrous and meaningless prompto revelation

It's insane how bad it is. It wouldn't fly in any game. GAF hates Ubisoft, and I'm just wondering how GAF would react if this level was in an ubisoft game. There would be demands for refunds, I'm sure of it.
EDIT: Sorry that my spoiler tags were broken there for a second, fixed as soon as I could.

My game just crashed after an hour of progress. Great.
Because Nomura was no longer on the project, neither was Nojima, and presumably because what Nomura wanted was very grand and ambitious, but the higher ups at SE were not going to sign off on it under any circumstances after the troubles with the franchise previously(even though a lot of those issues were the higher ups fault to begin with)
So Nomura and his core staff get ejected from the project and Tabata gets promoted with the expectation that the release date will be late 2016 and there is no room for discussion on that.
So begins Tabata's break neck attempt to rewrite the entire game, characters and scenario to push something out as quickly as he could in the time allotted, even cutting out huge swaths of what he intended to originally be in the game in movies, anime and other external material just to save on time and costs.
And even then, at the end he only got a portion of what he wanted to get into the game himself.
34 hours in at chapter
Currently level 46
I don't understand some of the hate for the game here.
I don't think the narrative is that bad and the world building has been pretty awesome.
Still loving the combat system. It's the reason why I still like doing all the side content.
