How do you platinum the game? Ive done everything except hunts (rank 7 currently)

Still waiting for my ultima blade to be done

Hunt rank, completing all quests, even end game dungeons do not count towards the platinum. It's pretty much complete story(one fight has to be switched to normal.....seriously you can play on easy for the platinum switch for the one fight and switch back to easy), get everything to level 10 for skills, get flying regalia and beat......the level 99 hunt


Platinum!!!!!

What is the downside of the Gravisphere? Every time I used it, it just felt too good.

But it's kinda boring, and RIP framerate. Are these the downsides? I won't want to use it because of my framerate?

Cyclone is fun as hell, though, especially when it launches Noct up after the spinning attack.

Level 54, 52 hours in, still in chapter 3. Got about 140k XP saved up. Ran out of hunts to get me to rank 6. Started finding dungeons, came across one that's maybe above my current level. Couldn't progress any further and I was basically tapped out of downs and elixirs so I left.

Holy shit, hahahaha. I don't think I'll go that far.

I should get myself a third Royal Weapon to unlock Armiger already. Assuming it happens when you get 3.

 

[ViciousDS]

Actually noctis reminds me of someone so the second OT should be



Final Fantasy XV |OT2| Behold the king, king of kings!

 

[FlyingWasabi]

So nobody else is having horrible HDR color banding issues? It doesn't ruin the game or anything, most of the time, it's just off-putting when you look at the sky and it kind of breaks the immersion.

On the other hand, during the Deadeye mission, the color banding in the fog was actually making it hard to see what I was doing, but that was the only time it was bad enough to be distracting.

Edit: Added a link with examples.

The conversation with Prompto at the motel in Chapter 3 was pretty cool.

Which conversations is this?

 

[LordofPwn]

Story related. I had 4 then a story thing gave me another and unlocked the Arminger.

Maybe.

Pretty armiger is story locked

 

[SlasherJPC]

Well got to the bottom of that tower dungeom, went through like 4 rounds of battles...after using the secret cubes, died.... lost all that progress and experience. Doh! I have no idea what I did wrong or what I need to do to reach the boss. Lol

 

[Zakalwe]

I'd really like to get the guide to see images of the monsters, battles are often too frantic visually to get a good look.

Are their decent pictures and is the guide good quality?

If you hit Gravisphere and a quadcast/quintcast spell at the same time, the game will crash pretty much every time. So just be aware of that.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Pretty armiger is story locked

What do you mean?
You can use it any time once you gain it, or do you mean locked until a certain point of the story?

 

[Epcott]

Heh, the end of the Cup of Noodle quest was so cheesy, in a 1950s sitcom's ad for detergent and cigarettes kind of way. Cute but weird. But if it helps cover the costs, so be it, even if it was out of place.

So happy I found out the secret to entering Fallsgrove's Costlemark Tower on my own by accident today too (Hint:

Spoiler

Go at night

). I love how you can stumble upon cool stuff off in the distance, investigate, and find something awesome. Of course it's a bit high level so I ran.

I also like the celebrity cameos: Forest Whitaker as the always startled Hammerhead chef, Hillary Clinton as president of Altissa, the guy who played Hurley in LOST as the annoying photo man with limp waving hand and meteor shirt... even Ravus Nox resembles a young Crispin Glover 😏

[Die Squirrel Die]

You have to progress the story to unlock it. You could find every Royal Arm available and it still won't unlock until you hit the right point in the story.

 

[Xemnas89]

Just finished chapter 13 and was surprised by how much I liked it. Was expecting something terrible but the only problem I had at all with it was it was a little too long. How much longer do I have before beating the story at this point?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Are the Royal Arms not also locked behind the story?

 

[anothertech]

Just finished! 43 hours total, from a minimal amount of side quests and alot of exploring. Haven't even touched some of the crazy stuff like adamantoise yet lol.

A couple things.

Spoiler

why did he get sucked into the crystal and then just steps out of a rock 10 years later? I listened to everything Bahamut said but was that explained at all??

Also, combat is fcking amazing once you figure out

Spoiler

the regen buff you get when you use your allies from a hanging spot.

suddenly all your kings weapons are usable almost infinitely and you don't go through stacks of potions every fight lol. So good.

Story was amazing besides my confusion above. I

Spoiler

shed tears

lol.

Favorite parts definitely

Spoiler

leviathan and the end fight, all that power just feels so dam good lol

Also, anyone notice

Spoiler

the very last attack of the game is basically Knights of the Round summon!!

Major nostalgia.

Can't wait to start getting into all the secrets and hunts now. I beat the game at level 37 lol. Long ways to go!

 

[Gbraga]

LMAO

Ok, that's enough incentive to me. I'll unequip that, it's boring as fuck anyway. Cyclone remains my favorite AoE party skill so far.

I'll continue to use the photograph one for Prompto until I max his level, it's already close, a couple more in-game days should be enough. Then I'll go back to the first.

 

[RedlineRonin]

Finally getting through post game and hearing all kinds of fantastic dialogue I never heard before. Noct telling prompto there's no wrong way to love a chocobo had me dyin

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Only some of them. There's 13 in total and about half are just there to be discovered in the world, pending the level of local wildlife and such.

[MarkusRJR]

So I was spoiled on (late/end game spoilers?)

Spoiler

Luna dying and the time skip. Also about a certain character being blind.

How fucked am I in terms of impact the story will have on me? Hoping I'll still be able to enjoy it.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Don't worry, it's not chapter specific. It's triggered by staying the night there.

Only know that because it literally just triggered for me, and I'm on chapter 13.

Depends how into u r. For me I enjoyed every bit of the story so it hit me hard especially

ignis going blind, the dialogue that follows for the next chapter or two is heartbreaking

Nah you're good. Not even the really sad part.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Finished it today. I'm all but getting skills to level 10 for the platinum. What a strange but enjoyable game. I have thoughts that I'll type up later, but overall I enjoyed my time with the game.

Any hints for quickly leveling skills?

 

[Avenger54321]

Well it was a fine ride. Got the Platinum Trophy today, and feeling great about it. This game, though very different from what it was originally going to be when it was VsXIII, kept me hooked for the entire ride. Noctis became one of my favorite protagonists ever, and I really cared for what was going to happen to the guys and how their stories was going to be told. The Story had some rough edges, and some things were a pain (Costlemark Tower Dungeon), but that combat was phenomenal and it's my GOTY. Will definitely play this again next year.

Hoard quests and level up by sleeping in the Altissia hotel. The more levels you get, the more AP you get I believe.

Edit: If you're speaking the campfire stuff. For fishing, it's best to fish in Vesperpool. It took me around 3 hours to max it out. Gladio = rubberband and overnight since the only way to level it up is by walking.

Mmm rubber band trick for gladio. Snapshot tech for prompt,photo op spots and just general pictures being took, Noctis stock up on the dragon fishing string head to the spot near veserpool. Takes about 2-3 hours

 

[Y2Kev]

The chapter 13 boss took forever.

At least it has the best music.

That's not veiled in black.
Speaking of which. What are all the songs on the ost with guitar? both electric and acoustic?

 

[Carbonox]

Chapter 12, level 91 atm.

Before I proceed I'm going to go back to finishing up any side quests and hunts I can.

I have to say, the chapter

Spoiler

9

set piece was fucking amazing. The music as well hnnnnnngh.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Has anybody fought a Coeurl yet? I'm above the recommended level for this quest, but they're capable of killing me in one hit. Not just downing me, but literally killing me. It's fucking stupid.

Ok that makes sense. I just didn't get that as I was going through the story I guess. Still loved it. Still reeling from the ride. Haha.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I've noticed a few times I've been running and suddenly flashed green with a magic-looking effect. Already beaten the game and have no clue what that is, but it's happened around 10 times. Weird.

 

[Pachimari]

So I'm at Chapter 10 now and I think I missed something because I'm about to fall asleep. But was Ignis

Spoiler

hit by the waves after Luna sacrificed herself against Leviathan, and then Ignis got an eye injury, or is it temporary blindness

?

Are you pressing in the sprint button when you're about to run out of stamina? It instantly replenishes the stamina

 

[888]

So my friend gave my ff15 for Xbox. Holy hell is it ugly. Wowza. Decent so far. Was kinda surprised by the song during the intro. Interesting usage just seems out of place in a Ff game.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Just beat the game. Went from Chapter 9 all the way to the end today. Chapter 13 aside, I love the game. Favorite Final Fantasy with 12 right behind it.

I'm not sure but it sounds like it. I always left stamina bar off because I found it to be unsightly but it seems like it has an unseen benefit. Not surprised I couldn't activate it because I didn't have meter on.

You could always just do it when you see him reel back for a second. I did that before I realized one of the DLC outfits has infinite stamina.

I had a level 38 hunt for 5 of these today and I'm level 49. These things wrecked me when I first ran in. Their install kill is insanely annoying, especially if your party groups on them. I found success trying to isolate them, but it gets really annoying when they run off to lick their wounds and self-heal.
