I finished the game earlier...... man the story is a fucked up mess. I say that because there are things just not explained or we are supposed to imagine it with our imagination. This is such a disjointed mess. AM I disappointed? Hell yeah I am. Can they fix this mess? Maybe, or maybe not. It feels super rushed. They are going to have to add a mass amount of cutscenes to change everything. This game suffered a ton of hype that were major lies. I loved the game though but the story..... I couldn't even call it anything but a mess.

The final boss battle was legit fucked up. Like, it was cool and then you just own Ardyn. I don't even get how this is good design. Ending battles with qtes isn't even fun.
On Luna
God, I can't fully express my disappointment with her without being angry but she was a huge disappointment after all the pr hype about strong female etc. Oh hey, I guess she's alive/recognized in the ending, right? What a mess!
Wait...
How is Luna a weak female again? Without her, Noctis' journey would've failed.

She fights back once and then is killed off like Aerith. It got me super angry especially after how much I've been following the character. Did she do much? Nah, she was just a plot device and Tabata lied about everything. Scrapping Stella was a mistake.
She's definitely not weak - I'd even say that the few times she is shown she seems to be quite strong - she's just severely underdeveloped. She's only in a few scenes. Hoping they consider doing a patch with more cutscenes between her and Ravus or even an episode to help flesh out the both of them.
It's on the Regalia's licence plate

You shouldn't have to do that in the first place.
Also even if I were to use that ability I still couldn't stop my party member from using magic and blowing half my face off unless I dont equip them with it. Which is completely fucking dumb.

The story was put together by 5th graders.

Magic does so lil to the actual party compared to the enemies i never once went o man better not use this my guys are in the way
Exactly why I don't see why it keeps being brought up.
Like I can blast an enemy for 49995 damage and my guys will MAYBE take 200 damage.

Also on Luna....
Wasn't she supposed to fight alongside us as a guest? What happened to that segment? They changed everything to be worse.
Which is all the more reason why it's baffling that there's friendly fire at all. All it does is serve as a minor annoyance. There's no strategy at all in using Magic.

Starting chapter 13, hooboy

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I just called Umbra for the first time and I'm trying out past Altissia...is there anything to actually do there, like quest wise, or is it just a city to roam in?
And her scene and anything relate to that from
Dawn trailer wasn't there either
Monster's arena and coin trader.
I agree, but some people make it sound like they can't cast magic because it's so detrimental to their party.

She didn't have to be physically fighting to be strong. Her strength came from her determination to help guide Noctis towards Death, even putting aside her fears to help him.

Meowster is right in saying that
she was underdeveloped

The hunts are fun especially a certain star wars style enemy lol I won't say more. There's also a quest you get from Vyv that you have to complete in Altissia That's very cool

The field effect and friendly fire are pretty much a waste of time. Enemies don't take a great deal of damage after the initial cast. With all the crafting and menu jumping you have to do casting is a lot less fun that in should be

A lot to factor in. If you use magic in the right condition you can wipe your party. I just experienced this today.
Fucking tricast lightning fucked me up good in that river marsh place. I got lucky.

The field effect is sweet tho. Stand on a rock or something and cast blizzara to freeze the lake thereby freezing the enemies...sooo good

Holy fucking SHIT Chapter 9
That was all so fucking crazy. When the real set piece battle started my jaw dropped to the floor.

That could just happen on the initial cast. The damage ticks are what I'm talking about

O the burning damage and the lightning damage? Meh it helps.

Man, some of sidequest are bad. But I can't help but do them. The game does give a little too much freedom though. Lvl 42 at chapter 3. Insane.

Ring magic. Death>dodge>death etc
I went through that dungeon like 3 whole times before I realized the
switches
That dungeon is garbage. The one right after it is even worse.
Ch. 13 would be infinitely better if you could just fucking sprint.
Why is it garbage?

This is why I said I hate my life went thru not 3 times but 5!! Looking for a royal tomb.

If you are OP enough you can kill them by simply dodging.
To be fair, I think all Royal Arms-related dungeons normally tell you to kill the monster in the innermost sanctum or something along those lines. So if that isn't there, it's safe to assume there's no Royal Arms to be found there.
That's what I did mostly. I was level 50.

Get your logic gotta here!.
I'm missing 3 and I refuse to ask where or read that guide

Having a lot of fun with this game. I'm pulling a Hinterlands in the first open area because the monster hunts are my jam. Probably should move on soon.
Dino wins the "Most Punchable Face" award of any character this year. He's such a mess and I want to continue his quest line just to hear him spout awful dialogue in that New Jersey drawl. He looks strangely like Ellen DeGeneres.

It's a boring maze that glitches out the camera in tight corridors. The switches needed to progress are also extremely easy to miss since the game does a bad job at pointing them out. It's just poorly designed.
Which ones are you missing? Or maybe it's better to ask which ones you have so far lol
Eh, I guess. Camera was fine for me the entire way through. I wouldn't say it was boring, was quite long though (Which is why we need to be able to save, it's dumb to have to set aside time where you're essentially forced to play through a dungeon without taking any breaks), but yea, I'll definitely give it to you on the generators being easy to miss. Had to backtrack to find the last one myself.
I said the same thing for the first hour. There is some good story stuff that happens and the end of it is cool, it's just so long. I don't hate it, but it's easy to understand how some can.

I started losing my mind..........
Costlemark Tower is the next one. I hate it.
My camera literally locked into place a bunch of times for random periods of time. One of them I had to completely leave the dungeon to get it fixed. Happened during the boss as well. Extremely fun trying to fight a boss when the camera is permanently stuck behind you.

63 for me. The game just felt too easy all the way till the end. To be honest, I kinda wish that I wasn't that OP.

Not in the game I'll so I can't name accurately
Missing the shuriken,the shield and I couldn't tell u the third honestly not on the game
The chapter's third act saved it for me. But then again, I could very well look back on it as me just being desperate to learn anything about what's going on concerning the story.
Lol, I did that one. I was overleveled, so monsters weren't a concern, but the dungeon's puzzles took awhile to get the hang of...
Lmao I'll be heading into Ch. 14 at Lv91, so at least you didn't take it as far as I did.

Do you have the greatsword one yet?
Honestly, nearly all of the Royal Arms seem to be underwhelming as fuck. But presumably they make Armiger/Armiger Chain stronger, and a few of them give decent passive boosts, so I guess it could be worse. I'm still really salty about the
shuriken
