Why are the doors to Steyliff Grove now shut? I want to get back in for a hunt. This isn't yet another place I have to afk until nightfall is it? :/

It was probably a "last minute" decision.
One of the possible leaks earlier this year said
that both Gladio and Ignis get injured during the story.
I assume they just traded Gladio's injury for "I'll leave for a while, brb" in order to fit his DLC when they decided to make it and not have to change much when it comes to the portions of the game he's not present. He was most likely just recovering from this injury, originally.

Assuming that particular leak wasn't full of shit, of course, but I think it makes sense.

Damn. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll redo this dungeon tonight real quick (it was really short) and then try again. I do like how all your sidequest givers show up to give you support items before heading out to the fight.
I think his behaviour in c10 makes sense in that he perceives Noct to be moping about and not putting his feelings aside to do what a king needs to do (and also that he seems to be ignoring Iggy's injury.
However, Luna just frickin' died! In the game it was the last thing that happened. Give the guy a break, taking some time to himself to process the events of c9 while on a train ride isn't exactly shirking his kingly responsibilities.
Like much of the game's story beats, this didn't have enough lead in/padding to make it seem genuine. If they'd had a chapter in-between where Noct had put the group at risk because he was unable to deal with his emotions, then perhaps it might have felt justified. As it is, the game shows us he's only had a very brief amount of time to mourn, nowhere near enough for Glad to assert himself the way he does and for the viewer to find it satisfying.

That's actually very true, most of the bits I found urgh were mainly due to the controls. The only bit where I wasn't much of a fan of the level design was the bit where it was
pitch black, and I felt like there was a few bits that I had to guess where I had to jump to, there was also a one or two bits of railing where if you stood on it you'd go falling off even though it was clearly straight
I found myself hitting jumps and then accidentally slightly touching the stick and falling off.
I also hate the inconsistency between the forced walking and just default movement. Some bits it forced you to slow down a bit, and I was really grateful for that, it made the entire thing so much easier, and more fun. Where as other bits it defaults to the normal movement of running, and it's just a bit annoying really. My thumb was hurting a bit by the end because I was having to hold my thumb in a weird way so I was only slightly tilting the stick. I wish it had have defaulted to walking all the way through honestly.

Finesse is doing link strikes and blindsides and stuff. Basically it's always going to be a crap score.

If you hold down L1 while moving it will force Noctis to walk no matter how much you tilt the stick.

so the save file size for this game is 650mb.

At least during normal exploration, you can just hold block to have Noctis walking. Isn't it possible to do the same in the dungeons?
Well I guess if I ever do it again. Sigh
Guess it made it more of a challenge.
I didn't realise you could, most of the world L1 just brings up the team skills even out of combat.
To be fair,
there wad a time skip of deceral weeks between Noctis wsking up and the train sequence. I can understand Gladio being frustrated by Noctis' moping after so much time and when he is needed as the saviour of the world (something Noctis has always known).
It's a secret dungeon that only reveals its entrance at nighttime.
What chapter are you on?
H-h-h-ow?...

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but going into the options menu and changing the battle camera to stay 'far' from Noctis makes the game even more fun.
Battles become more tactical and less chaotic.

I see, square is walk on the default control scheme. Which is fucking useless for the dungeon because you need to jump at the same time.
That's why pros use type C
Yeah the way its structured bothers me a lot, it's pretty easy to guess that the power plant was supposed to be a proper dungeon, but got cut to a single room for time/budget reasons.
Hopefull they'll expand on it because it's a cool and different location from the others.
I liked Brotherhood too a lot, but a big mistake i think they did is to not have the Noct/Marilith arc in the game. Like, it's the only scene in which Noctis actually grieves for his father and you don't put it in the game? WTF Square?
Hmm, I'm not really sure, but I had the same issue, where it seemed that Ignis could only use that one skill he learns when fighting that boss creature in Ch. 10. I couldn't confirm it, but it seemed like his blindness meant he couldn't use any of the other skills, at least not where you currently are in the story. It appears to be fixed in Ch. 14 though...
The game didn't even come close to making us feel that much time had gone by. So while we might be able to deduce it logically, it didn't
feel
We need to connect with games on an emotional level to feel these character interactions so it's important to make these story beats feel natural.
That's why pros use type C
The problem was I got used to the default by the time I read that the other types were better. So I never swapped.

Does anyone know if they have confirmed a PC port yet or is it all still speculation at this point?

yup, im using my brothers ps4 at my parents place and wanted to download my ffxv save from the cloud and bam, 650mb.
Happened to me three times already. I am waiting for the patch to fix it, not torturing myself another time.
Edit:
No official word. Tabata said that if he does a pc release, he wants it to be a showcase rather than a simple port. That would imply a late pc release if it happens at all in my eyes.

Royal sword bugged
WTF TABATA
Can believe I spent 4 hours moving rocks for nothing.... Is there a way to fix this Shit?

I need to stop doing side quests and just play the main story. 15 hours in and I'm still on chapter 3. Problem is every time I think I could be doing a cool side quest but then I end up stumbling around collecting red frogs for 10 minutes.
Quite.
I just read it takes 20 hour of sprinting or 30 hours of running to go from 1 to 10.
I would go as far as saying that watching both Kingsglaive and Brotherhood are mandatory.

I might be one of the rare guys who loved Castlemark Tower Dungeon. But maybe that was because I was like level 70 when I attempted it, lol.

Ok so the music in Lestallum stopped playing. Is this a glitch or is it just something that happens in the story?
Im on the mission where you set sail with Iris

I liked that dungeon too. I was level 81 but I still had some problem with all those

If true, that's plain stupid.

I only had trouble during the room with the tons of bombs and Samurai. They all went batshit crazy and I used magic but still, it was a bit of chaos. I am surprised that the frame rate was steady considering the particles on screen.
P.S I remember a lot of people mentiong room with Red Giants and Naga yet I never encountered them? =/
Where can we find the sidequest item for the Dino guy? I didn't locate it at all.
Maybe if you rush through the game and just want the platinum. But if you play it as intended and do post-game stuff, you won't have any issue with it.
My level is already close to 9 for Survival and I have a lot to do still, so I am sure maximizing that level won't be an issue.
If you just really want to play it, you can play chapter 1 before watching it. But you should just watch it while you download the 9GB patch.
Yeah, the airship's a bit of a disaster. I have made it a rule to always save before taking the airship for a flight, I have crashed in like a third of my touchdowns.
