So I am still in the first area, should I do all the side quests before I take the
ferry
or can I come back and do them after?

I didn't really have any problems with chapter 13. I was prepared for it being really awful from this thread and I kept thinking maybe I just hadn't reached the bad part yet and then it was over, huh. Not my favourite Chapter and sure it was long, but far from difficult or confusing or whatever.

Had the opposite experience. After an hour of hell I thought it was finally over. Then an Iron Giant drops down and welp I'm only half way through this monstrosity.

Worst level in a mainline FF game to date. Including XIII.

Lol at the Pirates of the Caribbean theme playing during this fight.

This fight is complete ass though. Why are none of my button presses doing anything? Sitting here in the water holding R1 and spamming triangle, nothing's happening.

Yeah, it's gotta be some meme. The chapter was good and actually had content for a change.

Just found out there are super late end game bosses to fight. There's even an Omega Weapon straight from FFVII at level 120! This game is so good.

Finally got to the infamous Ch. 13. What the fuck. How can they fuck up this badly? Whoever at Square Enix thought this chapter was a good idea need to be spanked. This chapter is a torture.

Awesome

I said it earlier but to me this game really feels like the evolution from VII -> VIII -> IX in terms of the world/exploration, I'm really enjoying it.

Oh wow, I just looked it up on youtube and (postgame dungeon spoiler!)
I realised that I have fought a thing like that (but not exactly the same) in the secret dungeon in Daurell Caverns. At first I thought it was an insect creature, so I was shocked when it started shooting lasers. Now that I have thought about it, the attack did look remarkably similar to the attack the omega weapon uses in World of Final Fantasy (which is the only Omega Weapon I have seen until now). The weapon I fought had a greenish colour, does that mean something (like some other type of weapon)? I know there are more weapons, so hence my question.

I often scratch my head and think "How the f*ck someone put that in game"? Seriously, anybody tested it before release? It blows my mind that it was in development for almost 10 years.

Here are some flaws that hit me most:

- Chocobo music. It's fun at the beginning, but having to listen this EVERYTIME I'm traveling makes me sick. There's no option to turn it off, or to use mp3 player instead.
- Repetitive sidequests. Bring A to B and repeat that dozen times.
- Weapons? I always find better weapons in store's only. It's not fun at all.
- Lack of outfits.
- Stupid leveling system. Let's say I have 10000xp and want to sleep somewhere where I can get it x2.0. I can't because chapter X has ended and everything leveled up automatically.

Then don't do story quests if you plan on going for those EXP bonuses.

At the very least, watch Brotherhood. It's short, but meaningful. I think the relationship between the 4 friends is the most important part of FF15 story-wise, so having some of that backstory really helps give conversations context as you're playing through it.

Wait, are you guys serious with the "who's Jared" thing? I was following the meme and laughing, but I finally met him today.

It's the very first thing they say when he appears for the first time. How the fuck did people not know who Jared is?

I'm sure he won't have enough character development for anything involving him to have any weight, but not even knowing who he is? That's 100% on the player.

Why doesn't anyone pay attention to the game? Jesus.

In castle mark dungeon on the final cube one of the giants has not stopped doing his gravity ball thing for almost 5 minutes . Wasted two mega Phoenix downs expecting him to stop but he just hasn't. Is it glitched?!

You can find better weapons in the treasure points on the world map or even in dungeons. They are not available just in shops.

Because he's an old man in like 1 minute of the game who serves no significance and happens to show up right around the time the open world portion of the game starts, and unless you're playing straight through the story, there's going to be dozens of hours between that brief introduction and the "who's Jared?" chapter.

Stop pretending like it's just some meme or something.

I wish it was some meme, at least it wouldn't mean people haven't been paying any attention at all.

I actually think it's more likely for people rushing through the story to forget him, since they'll be getting information all the time and little things will be forgotten. I'm not playing straight through the story at all, I'm at 41:30 hours on chapter 3, but I got introduced to them, they talked to each other and to us, got my next main quest goal from them, they also have a little more dialogue if you interact with both of them.

I didn't forget Monica, from the Leide Hunter HQ, why would I forget Jared? Prompto even takes a picture of them during their introduction cutscene.

Speaking of which, they REALLY need to up that limit, I don't wanna delete any more pictures >_<

All of a sudden I have a huge MP bar above my head how the hell do I get rid of this eyesore

Also why is the Stamina bar not within the hud elements itself and just randomly floating about Noctis's head -___-

Also because
the entire group gets worked up more about this character most people forget exists than anybody else who dies in the game.

It's not just people rushing through the story. It's the game being bad at telling story.

Well...

A) Of course you noticed him after the "who the fuck is Jared" meme started.

B) I was one of the "Who the fuck is Jared?!" posters, but that wasn't because I absolutely didn't know who it was. I wanted to make sure who it was who I thought it was, because what follows in the game was just bizarre if that was indeed him... and it was.

C) You had all the character development he's going to get.

D) In a game where you can go mosey off to do anything at any point in time of course people are going to forget 60 seconds of character development when they come back to it 8 hours later.

E) They seem way more hung up about him than Noctis' fucking dad.

Any tips against those metal gear looking mecha s that shoot missiles? Not really sure what triggers their stumble in which you can do damage for real.

Woah, I just used ignis's overwhelm technique when noctis was wielding the Bow of the Clever, and noctis shot like 30 shots quickly in succession doing insane damage. Much more damage than wielding any other weapon

Okay, I've seen people talk about the Colosseum in Altissa, and I'd like to check it out, but...how in the hell do you get to it? In fact, how do you get ANYWHERE not on the yellow gondola path? Altissa is such a pain in the ass to navigate, I swear...
