Leave. Never look back.
well.. ive been away from these boards since FFXV came out lol... lots of playtime... (almost 286 hours so far)
I fucking LOVE this Final Fantasy. Story is great (im on chapter 13 i believe) (I loved kingsglaive and brotherhood and watched both beforehand which helps fill in a few complaints people have with the story imo), gameplay is great... i legit get super excited when i stumble across a new dungeon or secret area. Im a sucker for Nomura designs (shrug) and cliche JRPG stuff... Other than FFonline titles... XV has got to be my favorite entry. (and i grew up playing every entry.) I waited 10 years for this game... and it delivers.
okay came back just to say this... back to FFXV...

How do you get that quest? I think I never saw it and there's no more quests on the map.
I'm playing Duscae demo atm, Noctis sounds a lor different, weird.
I think I found the solution, I'll try it out again later lol
Hit 99 last night, double exp food + 30k hotel is too easy for that.
The lvl 120 enemy kicked my ass at lvl 90 or so though, bros couldnt stay alive at all, I spent so much stuff healing them.
DId costlemark tower and it was still kind of annoying even at lvl 90+, I suppose ill go do some sealed dungeons now

They went back and did a redub of all the lines in the demo due to feedback.
Turns out people hated Bactis.
286 hours?! Doing what? I'm pretty much 100% finished at 125.

It will force to go to the wrong platforms, the fourth time it will let you go to the SW pillar, this is the correct pillar, however when you are going down you will eventually get to a split, take the east route not the south route.
Got it, thanks a ton!
I actually thought they hired a different voice actor, Noctis sounds so different in that early demo.
Its great they stuck with the original guy and gave him chance to change his voice up. He does a fantastic job in the final game.
Game time can vary immensely depending on how you play.
I've also finished everything and managed to clock in around 145 hours.

Quick question: has the poor frame-pacing been fixed or improved?
thats like 12 hours a day nonstop man
Probably Pitioss? Dunno.
People said that? I mean, in terms of challenge, I guess Costelmark was pretty cool. But yea, once I realized it was just the same floors over and over again, the appeal wore off quick.
lol,yes it was...I just stopped reading and I was annoyed I could of read some big spoilers...he got me
....thanks for the heads up. I dont think so...I am playing on the PRO with LITE mode though and frame pacing is not a game breaker for me,I didnt like the stutters in High mode though.

Think of them as combat trials. They are testing your skills, the Costlemarks sealed dungeon was my favorite part of the entire game.
My hands were sweaty and shaking like i was playing a Souls game, extremely satisfying. I had to think about every weapon, every accessory, every technique, the food i was eating was crucial, i was constantly going back and forth between different builds.
It makes me want a hard mode badly, i want the entire game to be like that.
In lieu of a new game+ with added challenge, I've decide to do this:
Entirely new game with XP limit item. Finish it without using AP at all. Rush through ignoring all side stuff.
Start a new game +, cash in all XP, limit my AP usage per chapter.
Clunky, but it will have the desired effect.

Yeah they're really only for people that love the combat and want more challenge with it. I did the first and stopped. Plus I was already 71 hours in so I had my fill anyway. 😀
The sealed dungeons are my favourite part of the game. I love aiming for A+, no damage, etc...
The only issue I have is the repetitive monster sets. It would be awesome if they mixed them up more.
Looking forward to future trials like these. I'm sure we'll be seeing some as they're relatively easy to implement. Hoping new ones will have more varied environments, but that's not essential for me.
I would love to see some actual unique dungeons too.
Honestly can't get enough of this combat. At this point having mastered the systems it's incredibly relaxing to engage with.
Play it. But also do yourself a favour and look up a combat guide on YouTube and perhaps look for a hints and tips guide too.
Lots of little things the game doesn't explain. For example:
Certain weapons have unique combos activated by holding left analog directions and attack.
Iif you'd set the stamina bar to show in settings, you get a green bar over Noctis's was when you sprint. When the sprint gauge has a sliver left, press sprint again to instantly recharge the entire bar and keep sprinting. You can do this infinitely.
Buried a little deep in the menu is a place to arrange your items for use in battle.
Things the game doesn't tell you that make it much better.
There's no spoiler there, it was a joke about scene in that chapter.

Thanks, then I'll probably be doing the same. Suppose I might try the high-res mode just to see how bad it is.

Any sidequests I should focus on doing that are special besides the post game tough dungeons? I just got the 80 sidequests trophy and I'm about to hit 99.

this game really isn't that great at all. I enjoy the combat and battle music thats it.
Unfortunately it is a terrible FF game and a not so good RPG. I was thinking of holding off playing and wait for the so called pro patch. I'm considering just blasting through it now so I can sell it on ebay.
I'm on chapter 10 and still nothing has happened.

Only if you suck at them.
All my fast travel is done by air. Haven't crashed a single time.
Guess I'm some sort of god-like pilot.

Did you sleep through the end of 9 or something? It definitely qualifies as "something."
Good for you?
Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.

Also coins, I say just keep 1 of each item just in case.

Agreed. I was excited to unlock it but it's too much of a hassle to actually use. Why risk a game over when I can just fast travel to most locations anyways. Loading times suck but still... No risk there.
What is this about saving rusted bits or a specific rusted bit?

I finally bought it as it was dirty cheap on a local store. I put the Pro on rest mode while installing and it gave me a disc read error, lol. If lucky, I won't notice the framepacing issues.
Haha... I like to explore... I pick up everything, i farmed ap and xp... Im 100% complete up to the chapter im on in terms of hunts, items, side quests, upgradeables, acension grid, all sylvester maps, anything i can do up to chapter 13 is done.
Also Ive used 0 guides and no help to figure stuff out... Everything was found on my own...
Me too buddy... Me too!

So I did the first Post game dungeon and it's pretty awful? I'm doing the second now and it's pretty similar to the first which ahs me worried that they're all going to be like this. They just have no design/structure and are just wave of monsters after wave. Please don't tell me they're all like this :/

The sealed dungeons are all like that. They are meant to test your combat skills.
