I should try Type B tonight. I've been using Type C from the start.
I tried to switch near the end but I was just too muscle memorie'd on A and kept getting my buttons wrong
It's not nearly as bad as you are making it out to be. If your under leveled, then sure it's going to take forever. That's why the recommended level is 99 though.
what's the key differences?

I have a quick question.
I just ate a meal (this big Chocobo burger I think; it was really tall) that gives 50% extra EXP. Does that stack with the boost you get from resting at hotels/caravans?

bad gameplay lol

I switched to B after 45 hours of A and while it's taken a bit of re-training, I'm pretty much accustomed to it after 10 more hours. Having attack and defend on different hands makes the combat SO much better.

About the clothes, I read someone earlier mention not a single article of clothing is changed or added except what you have in your gear.
Now watch as people pay $$ for it.
Kinda off topic but I have yet to drop a penny on any DLC except for smash brothers on ds for Cloud. Worth it.

I would probably level up quite a bit more before you take on Adamantoise. Like in most Final Fantasy's with him in it you better be prepared for a long drawn out battle so stock up on everything.

Just finished chapter 13 and man people are just way too harsh on that. My biggest issue with it is that it was a bit overlong. I'd say cut half an hour and it'd be fine. It's a very different, easy chapter with a lot of diifferent game-mechanics and they all work fine. It's incredibly simplistic yes, but it's a nice change of pace. Why are people so down on it?
wow

When I saw the controls at the start I thought who the hell would play with setting A. Switched to B right away.
Costumes are easy money. I think FFXIII-2 and LR did well.
Type B does this too. L1 for dodge/parry and Square for attack. It just feels RIGHT having the item menu on Triangle as well.

So I decided that I'm probably going to get the Lucian skull crest as a tattoo because that shit is cool af and fits artistically with the other stuff I want to get done so it wouldn't seem out of place which is great.

Type B is the most traditonal action adventure scheme, with attack on square, jump on x, and phase/dodge on L1. Type C has both attack and phase/dodge on either trigger.

Man, these post game high level fights are so goddamn amazing. I'm loving this combat system even more thanks to them.
Yes they are. Changed them 20 hours in and have had a blast in the past 45 hours or so.
I know that feeling lol

No matter how comfortable you are with Type A, I guarantee that either of the alternatives is better. Being able to comfortably use both sticks while holding block and blocking without having to move your hand from the attack button is a godsend.
Like some other people said, it's just too long
It took me almost 3 hours. Half of that would be enough
It's fucking disgrace that the Blackmage Village Theme is not in the FFIX soundtrack. Not Alone is great especially in FFXV but I can only listen to it so many times.
That's a bummer.
That's a bummer.
Yeah, I was having fun with Type A but switching has made things feel way more fluid. B or C should have been the default control scheme imo.
I used A the entire game and I loved it. I looked at B and C, but couldn't see how I would like those any more.
I guess I could give C a shot for post-game content and see how I like it, but I feel comfortable thinking I could get the Platinum on A no problem.
It's better to move the camera if you attack with R2 and not O
That was the best thing of type C for me

No. Hunts do not count. When I got the trophy, I had 95 side quests complete. 80 of those non-hunts.
And as far as clothes are concerned:
You don't get new clothes until the last chapter

chapter 13 was somehow the single worst mission I have experienced in my gaming life. Trust me I went in expecting the worse and was still blown away with how bad it was.
It was like 7 layer dip. each layer was another annoying thing I had do on top another.
Me: this isn't so bad.
ME :20 mins later: ah that is kinda cool. I see what they are going for.
Me 45 mins:wooh that was kinda annoying but I am glad it is over.
Me about 2 hours later: I rather do a naked run in dark souls 3. fuck this.
sorry guys. I don't never want to relieve that pain again. Thought GAF was being man babies, but shiiiit. Also to make it clear the mission was not difficulty, just bad.

I'm enjoying this way more than I thought I would. I'm 13 hours in so far, only on Chapter 3 but level 32 already. I haven't even been staying at 2x hotels or anything. The side quests and hunts are just really fun.
My favorite aspects of the game so far are the art direction and the sound design. I have my headphones on and the sound effects and music are amazing.

So, chapter 5 or 6, and Cindy just sent me on a quest into a sewer system that was pretty awesome. Fought some giant snake thing, kept looking for her headlights(lol), then fought
.
Also found a treasure map, some new weapons, etc. Favorite dungeon so far.
an even bigger snake thing

I know what bugs me about the dungeons in this game. They have this gorgeous engine but all they manage to pull out of it are cramped, souless empty square passageways and caves with barely a shred of art direction to spare between them.Bbarely any of them have any light sources to really set any atmosphere either, I get that dungeons are supposed to be dark but cmon lets show of some of that tech. I thought some of them were generated procedually because of how boring they are.
Costlemark for example looks like an unfinished map test made in Valves Hammer editor. just endless bland dark boxes for rooms. Only the boss room seems like it had any effort put into it.

People mention the noodle thing but the Vivienne Westwood reference was even more bizarre.
It sounds good. Although, I'm not sure how much I'll like using the shoulder buttons for attack and defend. I'll see.
I personally thought C was a little better than B because it allows you to do attack and defend simultaneously, while also allowing you to rotate the camera. B does not allow camera conteol when you are attacking, because your thumb is occupied with holding the square button.
Type A sucks, though, and I can't believe they made it the default control scheme.
Edit:
I had the same feeling when considering type C, but in the end it works really well for me.

I feel like what you describe was actually the original plan.
Luna's CGI death scene has no real weight to its imagery since all you've ever seen or heard of these super important flowers is one in a book from 12 years ago and a throwaway line that Noctis and Luna picked them as kids.
in the field of flowers with Luna and Ravus where Ravus has his artificial arm but that makes very little sense chronologically with the story.
I feel like Luna was intended to travel with the party to Tenebrae, or at least she was meant to survive that long, and the death scene was actually supposed to take place in that flower field.
....this is a real person? I should have known given how many times the name is heard.
Edit: *google images* oh so they based Ifrit on her
