Completed Chapter 13, I didn't like it.
Went for way too long.
Went for way too long.
It's honestly more just a boring fight. I was going to leave it as the last thing to do, but read it was doable earlier so went for it. I think being over 40 it could be doable, just take a longer, I think around 60 is the optimal level though. Think I was 77 and it took me about an hour. Just warp striking continuously, warping to a safe point, repeat. Barely got hurt during the fight actually and never really killed me. Didn't use as many potions as I thought I would.

Can I leave costlemark tower after solving 3 but before final fight?
If I leave will I have to solve the entire place again?

Oh god, an hour? That does sound boring haha. I'm hoarding potions and elixirs by this stage so I'm not concerned there, but this sounds like the dullest thing by far.
The monsters don't respawn. I did it in two trips since I was getting anxious about the 60k exp I was carrying haha.
The entire block puzzle resets if you leave before completing it, I found that out the hard way, but you won't run into any enemies on the way to the actual puzzle.

How are people catching big fish? Even with the third rod and reel upgrades and 2,000 strength line it's not enough. Is there higher end stuff I'm missing?

For those of you with 35 hours plus in chapter 8 or so... what side quests are you doing? I can't find high level sidequests to do and keep me busy. That's why I just tend to go for the story quest since I'm 2-3 levels over it and that way I don't feel too overpowered. I'm at chapter 12 atm.... probably will finish the game this week. Sigh, I'll be sad when it is over.... that 10 year wait into this is gonna sting me hard.

ok thanks. I don't mind having to run the blocks again. So do the monsters here never respawn?

I'm at
and man, what a nice change of pace.
Liking the game a lot, and REALLY enjoying the combat.
EDIT: Fun question for the top of the page: would you guys support a FFXV-2? I'd love a story-heavy entry with more linear progression (think Witcher 2) and heavier emphasis on combat and setpieces. This is a fantastic engine and combat system and would hate for it to go to waste by being featured in one game only.
Chapter 5
No regalia is letting me have nice extended walks and engaging in enemy battles I'd normally avoid. I get to build Gladio's survival skill too. And it comes right as you settled into the Regalia and covering large distances in short periods of time. I really like how they throw that in there to change things up.

You need upgrades and higher rank.
Patience mostly when tilting the line so that the durability doesn't go down too fast. With the 1500 one it was impossible for me but Dragon's Beard or whatever the 2000 one is called lasted me for big catches.
Ok yesterday I played like 4h... still chapter 3 but did a lot of suquests and hunting... now I have 40k xp... still looking for something to without too much effort and then will try the 2x exp rest.
So would be like 80k exp (more or less). I'm actually level 17. I hope to gain a lot of level ups!

When the big fish start splashing side when swimming to the side, once they stop splashing you can reel them for about a second or so. What I was doing was just tapping R and slowly bringing them in. It's a tedious pain, and I don't see myself bothering with fishing once I max out Noctis's fishing level.
The 3rd, 4th and Gladis's fishing quests were all the hardest for me.

Thanks, maybe I'll just ignore it. I was trying to reel only tiny amounts when there was no tension but it didn't seem like enough. Not sure I can be bothered doing it over and over
Well, finished. I may try to write up a big post but I almost never do for any game.
I will say, regarding the story, Hajime Tabata clearly has a style when it comes to directing. Which is to say, he doesn't direct that much. Just like Type-0, there were so many moments of "wait what?" and scenes feeling like they went missing at some point.
The scope of the game clearly buckled under pressure too.
And 6 years after FFXIII, HD towns are still hard. Just kidding

just looking at the maps, it felt like there was much more they wanted to create, but alas, they didn't.

though Insomnia will go down as the worst case of MIA city in the series. I mean I guess you get to see it in Kingsglaive and Brotherhood more but...
For fishing I'd say if you can watch the actual fish change direction, it's a lot better than waiting for the tension prompt to appear. I caught the big fish in Vesperpool with 1000 durability, with level 6 fishing. Your durability only gets hurt when you reel too much at the wrong time forcing the tension high or you don't change direction with the fish fast enough. If you can manage that then it's possible to not take any damage at all.

Just finished killing the lvl 56 kujata...... Now I'm hunting for snakes and Griffons.
I had not thought about it. Ignis should've been a bit more healer/assist type.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Coz it's real time, not cutscene.
I am pretty sure everything you hear on the radio is
recordings of Lunafreya speaking before her "death."
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
When I read posts like these I feel like I am underlevelled. I never had that much XP banked up. Maybe I should just do a ton of side quests and hunts today.Ok yesterday I played like 4h... still chapter 3 but did a lot of suquests and hunting... now I have 40k xp... still looking for something to without too much effort and then will try the 2x exp rest.

That Cup Noodle quest with Gladiolus sure was weird. I think the VA was smoking dank that day
While playing the game I thought it was a shame it wouldn't get a sequel.
After finishing it, I understand why and I think a sequel would ruin it entirely.
BUT, I would not be opposed a Final Mix version of FFXV with better "everything", more scenes, more gameplay features, etc...
As DLC expansion pack why not.

Tabata says they plan on just adding DLC to the title instead of make a sequel.

How do I have royal arms block bullets automatically. I know I saw a video of them doing it without Armiger on, and without holding block...

After finishing the game, doing post-game content and processing everything story related, my hype for DLC has escalated. I can't wait to hear more about them.
I hope the first DLC is for Prompto.

It's not an excuse when Bioware had it right a long time ago.
NEVER ever be excited for DLC unless it's Rockstar or CD Projekt Red.

Glad to hear that you loved it
Gladio is my least favorite so eh.....
Ignis should be exciting.
Nah, I am sure they can also deliver a good DLC. How could they not with whatever they have cut
I am positive this will easily be one of your favorite FF based on the ending and all. Looking forward to your impressions.
Naughty Dog has good DLC maps.
Well that last Dark Souls 3 DLC wasn't that great and was a bit too expensive.

Finally got the
Blade for Noctis and I'm still in chapter 3. That was easy...
For people farming for the Sturdy Helixhorn, I suggest eating the Mother Rice Bowl for +50% item drop rate, really helps out. I got one after 3 runs with the Last Spiracorns quest.

Where is that bowl available? Hammerhead?
It's honestly the only way to get it seeing how the normal drop rtae is only 10%...
I think you have to see someone eat it in Lestallum and ignis cooks it
You get the bowl recipe in Lestallum, it's around the area near the binoculars.

Ohhh... I might have it.
I just hate to go camping because I hoard exp points for Altissia and camping goes through them without any bonus =/

Just finished it... What a surprise this game was, it felt like something truly special, like the kind of hi-tech final fantasy game i imagined when i was a kid playing the ps1 games. I've been pretty harsh on FFXV (and SE in general) for years now, my expectations couldn't have been lower, and although the game isn't perfect i think it's a true return to form. Bring on 16.
Use the Expericast method and you won't have to worry about levelling.

That's 1 game out of 4, and even then, we don't know what second DLC will be like...

I am thinking of doing that now so I can rest easy with the camping and all.

Yep, go cheese some Cactuars or the Bandersnatch at Hammerhead and make some magic using Debased / Rare Coins. Don't forget to eat a triple decker Chocobo sammich for +50% EXP gains.
Is this what the woman is eating with a view to the ocean sitting on a bench?
Also where do I find that blade?
And how do you guys get deber coins? I think I got 9 of them.
I think so.
You don't find it, you make it with the final Engine Blade quest from Cid.

This restaurant in Altissa with the guy for the Oracle Coin sidequest is so blatantly supposed to be a shop/restaurant/tipster, but it just... Isn't.
In fact, there's a couple of sidequests in Altissia I know I saw in trailers and previews that just don't seem to be anywhere to find.
