I think clearance six is the last one. God. That chapter just killed all my want to do a new game plus run of this game.

Oh is that Behemoth section from the first Duscae demo still in there...? Actual fight was ok but the sneaking part was a little weird.

I had this in the forest dungeon, I forget the name of it. The camera locked and I had to find my way out without being able to see where I was going so I could save and reload. I could move the camera in battle just fine, but as soon as battle finished it locked again.
That one was a pain as well. The one I'm talking about is from Chapter 6
Base infiltration part
Just beat it. Here are some random comments
Liked the game less and less as I played. It has a nice looking world and a solid gameplay. Summons are handed extremely well.
Traversal is a chore, story is not good at all (liked it more in first half of game when it was the background), very questionable design choices in the later half of the game, and the villain is awful. I'm surprised that there are many who thought the main characters were a strength of the game, but unfortunately they didn't do anything for me outside of the one prompto scene at the beginning of the game.
Ending:
I may be overly negative because the last few sections of the game burned me out. Overall, I'd say the game is ok (teetering on somewhat bad). I'm going to mess around in post game and try to do that praised dungeon though.

Ending:
Ending is mostly well done. I like what they did with the campground scene/the placement of it, although it mostly fell flat since the characters are not good. The last ending was only thing I didn't like about it because I don't care about Luna and I don't know why Noctis does either. I guess their one line dog communication for a decade really made them connect.

You mean Behemoth? Yes, it is, it's much easier this time around, however, there's another Behemoth Hunt that should be interesting.

If anyone is struggling with the controls, I personally find the type 2 control setting to be so much better. Makes much more sense to hold square than to hold circle for attacks. And L1 dodging feels smoother.
Yes...ok cool,thanks.

10 hours in, still not sure if I'm just terrible at the combat or if the combat system is just plain bad. So many clusterfucks.
And holy hell at the random difficulty spikes. I just tried a level 15 hunt while my party was 16 and we got totally annihilated. Like absolutely destroyed. worst part is that it was an arena without an exit so I had to reload an earlier save.
Also - I hate how the game doesn't explain ANYTHING in regards to story. I'm halfway through chapter 3 and so many times a name/location/object gets dropped in a conversation and I'm like "am I supposed to know what this means?". So weird.

What's the name of the praised dungeon, anyone (same one Schreier was talking about)? Want to make a mental note for later as I'm getting near the end.
You just select a meal when you camp outdoors.
Just rented the game from Redbox to see if I'd like it - haven't played a FF since 7, since I grew bored of traditional turnbased combat. Loaded it up and during the tutorial I loved the combat and realized I thought I would be buying it. Then I fought my first group of enemies and the targeting issues soured the entire experience for me. I can't believe there are no additional options for targeting.

The
boss fight felt like a scene right out of Advent Children.
Really exciting stuff if it wasn't for the mob of soldiers that killed my team within seconds and took my lock-on away from the boss.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD, but it didn't quite reach.

This please
I made it anti-climatic as fuck by using my OP magic. Got to
fight with her in the air and slammed her ass down, so not a total loss at least.

I can't at vital plot information and world building stuff being only accessible on that radio. And I mean vital!
Magic is pretty easy to pickup from noises that are located around havens(camp sites)
You don't always have to add a catalyst to the mix, they just help add some added benefits to the magic.
Catalysts are what really help you make truly broken spells, you will need to farm or buy them.

Thanks
Plot hole question: (I'm at chapter 8)
The gameplay loop is great but the Frankengame is really apparent in some of the fundamental story beats.
Does the game ever try to make sense of why I'm being hunted by the empire (while driving around in a gaudy beacon of attention) and simultaneously giving me personal rides out of situations and turning a blind eye to me literally blowing up their bases?

As much complaints as XIII had, I really wish this game had a datalog. The world is so interesting and rich but we only get to know so much about it.
No. The empire is kind of a non factor.

Has anyone completed the final trial at camp? It's pretty much the only thing I can't do in the game. I've beaten the Adamantoise and most other lvl 99 hunts, but this piece of shit is nigh impossible for me. Ignis heals everyone and himself regularly for a stupid amount of health while Prompto is spamming debuffs, all while having ninja moves and dodging 90% of my swings. Where the fuck were these moves when you were fighting on my side? Ugh. Just please someone tell me it isn't even worth the effort.
Like what? I've heard some important stuff but I'm wondering if you're referring to something specific or just all the things.
I know that feel.
I'm around 30 hours at Ch 6, but I'm definitely gonna do as much as I can before ch 8
Lv 46 now, bout to get a few levels from resting though.

Well, I'm done with chapter 13. It's reputation will become legendary I'm sure. In the words of the AVGN: "What were they thinking?"
But that ending though... That cut deep. I'm dying to play chapter 14 but I need to go to sleep, it's already super late. I'll level up for a bit tomorrow (my party is still in the 30s) then finish the game. I can't wait.

Yes. In fact it should be obvious to you by now.

For the people who already beat the game:
I think I hit the point of no return. I am at the part
I think I hit the point of no return. I am at the part
where you rescue Prompto from his prison and he tells you he's a MT. I really thought I would be able to go back and do more quests but doesn't seem like it. Is this the point of no return and not going back to the main world to do more side quests?
