just beat it. what a wild ride. honestly, as a final fantasy I hate it, but as a 3D action RPG it was pretty good. Listening to the old tunes in the car brought me back to just how good the old ones were and probably just sold me on FF9 on steam. Gunna do some questing in the open world now, but a little pissed because my game just crashed and I lost a lot of side quest progress. urgh

Tried his eye, face, and his foot. I think my game just bugged.
About 35 for me.
Level 30 is where the game takes the night time training wheels off and lets you drive (and fast travel!) at night. Also the level of the first daemons.
But you should be able to blink out of combat zones at any level before you die so whenever is fine really.

Oh ok..
it just made me want to kill the son of a bitch even more. I think that speaks to more his character then hers.
Around 30-35 should be okay...
Just make sure to run from red giants.
Because even at level 60, 2 of the in packs can still be a feat :/
Just start hitting triangle and you'll blink out of the zone before they even start attacking. The game is pretty strict about the red circle on the minimap, once you're out you're fine.
Although you should have Chocobos before doing any sidequesting anyway for the same result. Just run away.

red giants were bugged for me. Wouldn't attack or register as a battle. So I spent 10min hitting one on my own. gg.
I mean the scene literally plays out as
Ardyn having satisfaction, wanting to see the faces of the people he has fucked over, only to then have Luna try to cleanse him out of care. This is basically a failure for him, hence frustration and in the moment slaps her since she is no longer "below" him
It definitely speaks much more to his character than her's

Did the cutscene not play?

Hmm, just past the start of Ch2. Feels alright so far - Text is small as hell on my TV from my normal sitting position though. Have to sit on the floor and be closer to read things right.
Though the game does feel like a bit of a low-rent Witcher 3 clone at times.

Anybody got any tips on how to kill the "Custard" enemy? This level 72 dungeon is running my magic dry since they're invulnerable to all damage besides magic.
Happened to me. Exit and go back from the start. Most enemies won't respawn except for a few in the final push puzzle bit.
Then my game glitched again, and I got the cutscenes and the boss respawned but I couldn't attack it so I just had to stand there until I could summon.

Finally made to chapter 2. Huzzah.
Yeah it's a glitchy mess but it worked eventually.
Guys I have a question about the Costlemark tower dungeon....I have a 50 level party and I don't know if I'm doing it right....
I want to finish this dungeon to get my last weapon.
you have to push the cubes until you arrive to the big room with an iron giant and fight it, then I go up and I can go through an other set of cubes just to end up in the same room with two giants 
I gave up because I had no more magic to deal with those :/
Tell me is there a way to avoid these battles and get to the dragon battle quickly?

Surprised me how much I grew to care about the bros. Iggy is one of my favorite FF characters now. Can't wait for all the dlc episodes about each one.
Just got the Platinum.
Whoever thought Adamantoise was a good enough fight to put in the game is sorely mistaken, unless there's a proper way to kill it. I just spent an hour warp striking his eye for 9999 damage and the camera was atrocious. The rest of the party can barely do any damage to it either so I had to rely on self buffs and items to kill him as fast as I could. I was also under the impression that all the side quest people you have meet up at the diner was assist in the fight in some way, instead of just giving you an item and leaving.

I'm level 20 in chapter 3 currently and I can beat the Iron Giant no problem. His cousin with the fire sword is another story. I just venture out at night anyways and if i encounter Flame Swordy (which is rare) I Nope the fuck out. Otherwise it's all good.

What level do you guys recommend for the
fight? Its the only trophy i have left and im mid 60s.
adamantoise
You can also use the ring if you are low on magic
Its going to suck regardless of level. i was 67 and it sucked

Just be very conservative with your attacks. Hit him and hold the dodge button and wait for him to attack, when you see him pull out his magic balls warp out of there, rinse and repeat. When you get to the second part of the fight just attack and move attack and move.
still enjoying it ...like a lot..but yeah the story beat are very poorly told. Like I saw the Jared meme in here and it STILL didn't hit like intended.
Probably is more frustrating that these same story beats could have been amazing if given time....which is a theme in terms of this games problems. More time ironically was needed lol.
again still loving it tho.
also clicked a spoiler that spoils a big thing...but one I expected. Be safe

Yeah, they've grown on me a lot. I think their voice acting is quite good too, really helps when shit starts hitting the fan.
All that road tripping laid a nice character groundwork
cold canned rations in Ch. 10 :-(
either that or it was to trigger super saiyan noctis
They degraded her for the benefit of those characters' development
Very unnecessary and gross
And it's not like this is the only questionable thing to come out of this women hating team

It's a very valid question to ask though

Decent advice. Magic is so OP in this game to the point of making combat almost trivial. I prefer to run with 2 usable weapons, 1 stat boosting royal arms, and 1 spell, but I could easily see taking 2 spells instead of 2 usable weapons.
Really? I've summoned that one more than all the others.
Vincent Grayson

Best I can tell, there is never any reason to have two magic spells equipped, as they share the same cooldown. You'd get better mileage out of equipping another Royal Arm for the stats, or another useful weapon.

Yeah good point. I will continue with 1 spell slot.

Just hit chapter 3, about 11 hours of playtime, possibly more.
I really really really love this game so far
Apart from a few hairy hard resets and one instance where Noct froze in a spot and I couldn't do anything to resolve it (had to reboot) the game is like a dream!
I must be in the minority but I actually enjoy how Noct and his gang find out about the world's events through the radio etc, there are so many nice, small touches that I can see a lot of care has gone into creating the game, despite the rumoured cut content.
