Holy shit
use dodge. When you evade, Noctis casts a spell that does damage. A couple of successful dodges will take them down.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

The important bits are important. But at the same time, there's a large amount of filler. It's importance is overstated. Watch the Brotherhood anime episodes on YouTube instead. It's an hour and means a lot more. Wait until, what, chapter 5? 6? Then watch Kingsglaive.
MID GAME/KINGSGLAIVE SPOILERS
If anything, Kingsglaive is better to watch when you've made a dent in the game. The king dies? Big part of the game. Luna escapes? Is fairly obvious. Ardyn's identity is worth keeping secret. Is he a mysterious helping stranger. Is he creepy friend? Is he foe? It's the latter, yes, but it's a mystery worth keeping in a game with an unfortunate narrative structure. It only kind of sort of slightly helps with Luna's relationship with her brother, and that's still poorly done. But he's also a somewhat minor character, so again, unfortunate narrative structure.
There are some good ties in the film. They're mostly ignored. There's a lot of disdain between the people from outside Insomnia and the king. Interesting. Good plot point. Irrelevant. The Kingsglaive themselves? Naaaah.

Triangle or Y is a aoe one shot kill that doesn't get interrupted. Just use that and hope you don't die while it casts lol. Or just spam dodge

My god. I'm so sorry.
I got to the dungeon after three attempts. I saved once I left and I haven't flew since I left. #typefwasamistake

This game is a blast. The way the mechanics for exploration all tie into preparation for dungeons/battles is amazing.
I love preparing and the high buff meal for camp before taking on a challenging dungeon the next day. Helps that the dungeons are awesome. Belouve Mines right now.
I thought that the day/night cycle would be annoying, but the time limit for buffs forces you to be efficient and night time is always a thrill.
Running around in the field is also game-ified with being able to warp outside battle. I always spam warp with a short animation warp weapon and then start running when I run out of MP. It's fun using warp to cover long distances during exploration when I can't jump very far.

I was hoping for more hair styles. I watched the Brotherhood stuff and they all look normal. I want that... and also a way to zip up Cindy.
Yea, being overleveled for everything made me not complain as much as everyone concerning certain things, like Costelmark and Ch. 13

Like other people, I'm finding Prompto's photo skills one of the best parts of this game. But sometimes I really question his actual photo taking abilities...
This one I just got a few minutes ago
Get out of that bush what are you doing

I was running around at night and bumped into three goddamn Kujatas, all lv52. Even at high level I ran the other way.
I do have a question, has anyone come across another Midgarsormr enemy in the game or is there just one by the waterfall? I ask because I enjoyed that fight a lot and wouldn't mind another go. Interesting enemy to fight, wouldn't mind trying to go in poisonproof.

I saved when i got out of there, then proceeded to crash my car twice. I was so frustrated by the time i got out of that dungeon that i just fast traveled to my last resting point and towed the car back to hammerhead.
I really enjoyed it at first, but about 3/4ths of the way through i just started getting so frustrated that it ruined the entire thing for me.
Yeah I'd also like more hairstyles; I love Ignis's unstyled look in Brotherhood. Gives me Persona 4 vibes! Ignis's outfits are so well put together and then he has that childish gelled up style in game haha. Gladio would look good with a ponytail or a much shorter style, but I don't mind the mullet. His clothing, however, is dreadful...dude can't dress himself worth a damn :/

Wow, as shitty as the 13th chapter is, so worth it with comes after. One of the coolest shifts in the series. Its too bad the first parts of the game were scatterbrained.

You meet Gentiana and Umbra at the hotel in Altissia, Umbra will take you back to lucis whenever you visit a motel if you want him to
Gladio looks very stylish in Brotherhood. What happened???

So can anyone tell me the requirements to activate the quest where you get the key for the locked doors in the dungeons? I've been doing hunts and quests expecting it to show up in my list but there's not much left to actually do outside of some REALLY annoying fishing missions.

I'm sure someone said earlier in this thread that there's a quick n' cheesy way to do Adamantoise, I don't know the details though. Not tried him myself yet.

Balouve mines, Crestholm Channels, Daurell Caverns, and Costlemark Tower. Go there and beat the bosses and the old woman at the hunter HQ will give you the key to unseal the doors.

Where is hunter hq?
I know :'( But I'm pretty confident that we'll get some DLC styles at least. Their Brotherhood looks would be a shoo-in, I'd like to think.

Ah gotcha, I've yet to finish the Channels or the Tower. To be honest I never even found out how to open the tower yet or the northeast dungeon. Guess that should be my priority for the night.
I didn't play for two days after I finished that. Took me 3 hours and I just had no motivation to play after it. I let it sit for a few days I came back and was good again.
Guys seriously.....
Night time is killing me.
The dude won't drive so I can't warp. When I drive I stop when an iron giant spawns. Can I wait without leveling up? Can I make it so I can fast travel/use auto driving at night?
I'm trying to save exp to sleep at 2x hotels.
Also, at the end of every red story mission does it force a level up sequence?
What should I spend Gil on?

Ignis gets comfortable driving at night when you hit level 30. Its a godsend.

Chapter 13 went on longer than it should, but given how
you're given a dodge counter that's essentially broken, the gameplay parts were honestly a breeze because of it. I still keep the ring equipped now.
One thing though, between the magitek soldiers, the industrial theme from the empire, pressing switches and everything I got serious FFVI vibes in Gralea. And then they threw the chapter 14 quest title at you. A nice reference, but one I really appreciated. Wish it could have been expanded, but eh, budget, etc. It's amazing that the game turned out as well as it did.

I got a Ribbon from doing Sania's quest. Also the reward for beating the secret dungeon, there's also a guy in Altissia that will exchange high end gear for Oracle Ascension Coins.

Would have been nice to have that communicated. I stopped bothering with the car altogether until I hit post game

Welcome aboard the S.S Fantasy. Enjoy the ride
I'm fairly sure it is communicated. There's a whole dialogue about it. Maybe you have to attempt a night drive before he tells you?
So the Adamantoise hunt
Now what can I do with
was very anti-climatic. A pop-up telling you the towns folk have come out of hiding and then you just hand it in like a regular contract.
I didn't even get the satisfaction of seeing all the XP tally. Just stealth added to my stock.
At least it's over with.

And THAT is my review of the game.
Loving the game but lord the time jumps between chapters are weird as fuck...like someone said earlier feels like multiple dimensions and shit. The pacing is so off.
shame because I am loving the cast and general idea behind the plot too.
oh well...nearing the linear zone soon.
