I'm still not really sure what to think of the combat. It's definitely flashy but I'm about 6 hours in and it still never really feels like you're in control of the flow of the battles
Sell your treasure. I'd go to the elemancy tab first though to see what items modify your spells though, and keep some of the ones you like (Quad/Quint-cast, Deathcast, more spell uses, etc).

That's a huge disappointment. So they didn't show the event in the game in more detail so they can sell us the movie to see it first. Why SE, when you hurt the impact of the damn story? It makes sense now why the main gripe so far with the game is the way it is.
I didn't see a craft button anywhere, but I will look.
There's a camping food item (Mother and Son Dish, or something like that - you get it by walking by a mom eating at a bench near the Lestallum parking lot) that gives a +50% item drop rate.

Hum the Prompto Hotel cutscene triggered twice for me during my whole playtime. Should this be happening?

This.
I stayed up to finish the game last night but that chapter in particular was really testing my patience.

Oh nice, thanks! Will try this.
Wish there was a camping spot super close to the hunting area though.
So were chapters 8 and 10 masterpieces?
Ha. I really enjoyed them! :3

Kill the little ones. Save your game and kill the two big ones. If it doesn't drop reload.
Seriously, why is she moving this much while talking? She seems high as fuck.
Worst part is that I just met Iris and she's even worse.
If you're interested, check my post history. I've written a few explanations based on what I've learnt and the combat is very fluid for me. I rarely feel like I lose control (camera aside).
Also there's a particular Youtuber with some great guides. I'll see if I can fish the channel out for you.
I think the 10,000 gil is worth more at that level to buy items and gear. Far better to spend 300 Gil to get 1.5x the exp st other places.
Edit: Just to give you an idea, people have been using a 30,000 Gil, 3x multiplier on 500,000 exp to get 1.5 million exp later in the game. So 4000 exp really isn't much
Alright thanks for this. I already have the perk that increases my tech bar. I'll go for more tech bar upgrades. I don't get how Ignis' Analyze works though, because I don't see where I'm supposed to see their weaknesses?
Yes, I know I can open it with R3 but the roof automatically opens up whenever you enter the car. I hope they change that with a patch.
Hmm okay, I'll sell my treasures.

When you lock on to an enemy after you see the perk activate, it should show a display in the top left corner of the screen.
Wish it had better descriptors though. The color coded icons don't really tell you all that much if you don't know what they mean. Took me a bit but after looking it up online I finally figured out what it was showing.
Use wait mode. It has made the combat much more enjoyable for me.

An eyesore!? She's hot AF! Don't talk about my Cindy like that lol.
Do keep a couple of each though, even if they aren't useful for spells. You never know when a quest giver will need something.Yes, I know I can open it with R3 but the roof automatically opens up whenever you enter the car. I hope they change that with a patch.

ewww, so this is going to be a thing?
Even as shameless eye candy she fails for me, her ass is an unnatural shape.
Not that I was particularly looking for them but I can't noticing none of the bros seem to even have ass cheeks..

Ok, I'm now in chapter 6 and I still don't know what the fuck I am doing. The story is absent and you only get some bits presented that don't make any sense, even with the movie. But that's not that surprising, because the movie was really bad.
Gameplaywise I'm really disappointed. The sidequests are really boring and it's either a hunt or some quest where you have to get something for a person. Guys, you are the prince of a fallen empire and people want you to catch red frogs for you! Also the presentation...Some major event happens in the beginning that should really disturb Noctis and the atmosphere is immediately destroyed. Because you could also go chocobo riding or maybe do some fishing or just make some selfies. It's not like some died a couple of minutes ago. The chocobo music is also annoying me...It was fun at first but now it's just destroying the atmosphere most of the time.
The combat is also chaotic at it's best. In dungeons you lose every bit of control and it's just luck what happens. But it's not much better in the normal world. The camera is just bad, the lock on is not as good as it could be and I prefer the KH combat system much more.
But at least I got two nice fights. They weren't really hard, but at least nice to watch. But besides that...I can't think of anything positive right now. It's not a really bad game, but not a good one. The open world is hurting this game more than it helps. And the sad thing is that I was really hyped for the game once it was announced, but the wait wasn't worth it.

Just did the Behemoth fight, wow that whole quest was great. Ended up having to fight him at night and as I tracked him and the sun was setting I was nervous for how the darkness would affect things.
Also the music that plays there is incredible. What's the title?

Do I try to attack the head regardless? When I fo that I just fall and lose shit ton of health
Dammit, I ended the Chapter and didn't get any exp bonuses, I wish I could see if a main quest was the last one in a chapter.
I am now at Chapter 3 at lvl 15. How's that?

Yeah, I haven't even started using wait mode yet. I'll get around to it eventually.
Gladiolus in particular is modeled strangely, it's like they knew they needed to give his legs some mass to fit with the body shape, but couldn't bring themselves to model much of a discernible butt outline, despite the skintight leather. The way the mesh warps is really offputting in the opening with the amount of focus placed on it; it's like an ass-specific manifestation of the uncanny valley.
At least with Cidney and the rest of the party, they're thin enough for the flatness to be justified.

It's funny how when you fight Behemoth it's this huge production and then
when you hunt the other one down for Ramen meat it takes like 2 minutes to beat him lol.
Boss music? Pretty sure it's Omnis Lacrima.

Hey, guys. I liked chapter 13 lol
Definitely do not do all of the side quests/hunts you encounter. I'd do a few of those, but generally focus on the main story.

How do you activate Armiger without constantly opening the Tech menu instead? Incredibly annoying to be trying to activate this thing but instead repeatedly opening and closing some menu.
Sure you weren't looking at them haha.
Yeah I don't get all the hate on Cindy. Yeah sure she is overly sexualized. So what? This is a game where the main cast are attractive males, and Prompto is always taking pictures of Gladdy's ass.
Gotta wait for the L1 and R1 icons to appear and press it then. I admit it is clunky.

Can you guys start using spoiler tags again? What the hell are you guys thinking?
If you haven't finished a game within the first 4 days, unfortunately you tend to need to leave GAF OTs as people get really sloppy with tags.
