When you and your bros get down to zero HP their maximum health starts to drain (thats why its blacked out) the only way to fix that is with an elixer. (and obviously it will regen on its own when the fight is over, unless you are in a dungeon).
Outpost to outpost, best part is that some hunts are hidden from you till you rank up and some only appear post game... So prepared to revisit ones you thought you'd completed.
They repeat enemy types too often too. I hope they add more varied modes/encounters like these, they're incredibly fun and deserve a little more attention.
Yeah, it's starting to driving me crazy. Especially now that I've unlocked the bigger parts of the map. Maybe I need to make some written note or something.

Oh, I didn't know this. But still, there's no point, no? Because you can still only accept one hunt at a time, and I'm assuming 90% of the hunts are within the outpost's area.

There's a point. Right after I turn in a hunt, my next thought would always be 'so, where do I go next?'. I have to manually search from outpost to outpost to accept the available hunt and that's a problem.
Anyone know how to fix a glitches quest?
The game is telling me to give the professor toad oil, but I don't have it (despite the game saying I do). Already tried going back to the dungeon I first fought the road at and they no longer spawn there.

One minute i'm like thats cool how i just went and did a mini dungeon that was just a side mission and had a great boss battle, the next i'm frustrated at the shiny things not being picked up after pressing x five times.
The game feels clunky and disjointed at some points and there isn't much of a story hook but so far the battles have been fun especially the boss creatures and the music is brilliant.
Chapter 6 at the moment. Been doing most of the available hunts at each stop.
Just got to Chapter 9. Yikes. Stuff immediately happens that directly contradicts stuff that we've been explicitly told earlier in the game, in one of the few extremely clear cut cutscenes, that we just have to accept. I'm trying to wrack my brain to find a way to justify this stuff in my head and I'm coming up empty.
I absolutely love this game, however there is one thing that utterly confuses me and thats that several reviews praised the dungeons as some of the best ever in an RPG.
Im in the post game and while I haven't gone beyond the locked doors in some of the dungeons but what I have played have been very generic maze like tunnels with random enemy encounters.

The first part of each dungeon (before the sealed door) is all really fantastic to me and one of the best parts of the game (and definitely better than the average JRPG dungeon). They are entertaining (due to the characters), and the designs are interesting and sometimes requiring some thinking to find and complete everything. The sealed dungeons are pure trash from a design standpoint, though. Yes, they are "fun" combat encounters (if you say so... lol fuck sealed Castlemark tbh), but their design is SO boring. The optional
platforming
dungeon is amazing. Well, it's both amazing from a design perspective, but also a little frustrating due to the way Noctis controls.

I had that quest bug out on me too. No big deal, just keep playing and next time it rains, you'll most likely run into a Gigantoad (they're friggin' everywhere). It's a fairly common drop for them, but they rarely spawn in groups larger than one, so... may take a wee bit.
Once you've got it, I recommend fast travellign to the professor just to make sure it doesn't bug out again.
Test combat skills? The way the sealed dungeons are designed effectively eliminate several core functions of the combat design. (Spoiler quotes from here on just to be safe.)
- Point-warping: A core function from the tutorial onward, nowhere to be found in the sealed dungeons because the rooms are too small and have no walls or outcroppings on which to warp. This also eliminates the combat concept of using point-warping to regenerate MP, turning the entire affair into an Elixir chugfest.
- Magic is too much of a hazard because the rooms are too small, larger spells are nearly useless because they'll just do too much damage to your allies (Holiday Pack+ ring notwithstanding).
- Certain tech bar combos usefulness diminished because enemies just scatter all around the room. I've watched in futility as Gladio used Dawnbreaker only to completely miss an enemy he HAD been right beside when I told him to use it.
- Armiger/Armiger Link and Astrals frequently bug out and either miss or don't work properly (also seemingly due to the confined space of each room).
The only combat functions that reliably work in the sealed dungeons are blocking, link striking, and blindside attacks. But that's barely half of the entire combat system so really the only thing the sealed dungeons test are your patience and gear.
I've really begun to like Noctis in these late chapters. Even Ignis. Gladio is at the bottom... personality wise but hes great at fighting. Prompto is good. Its a shame that he's not getting shipped with any of the women he likes. They all secretly want Noctis. Hopefully his DLC lets him date somebody.
Unlocked the post game super dungeons today, haven't played any of them yet. I'm in the early-mid 70s and have about 45 hours in. I just do a few quests and then sleep at the 30K hotel.
Thoughts on one of the dungeons, spoilers just in case:
The last regular dungeon I had to do was the one close to Insomnia within the imperial camp. Pretty frustrating but not to the point of rage quit, it was just annoying having to look for the switches and have to climb ladders / shimmy along pipes and ledges over and over. Only dungeon where I was like "Ok this isn't that fun anymore."
I swear I've never seen a game look this good in gifs. Between the lighting and the incredible animation work, with everything all smooth like this it looks just incredible.

Its pretty much Kingdom Hearts, if you like how that plays you will enjoy this also, I really liked, didnt at first but it turned out to be extremely fun warping around, teamwork attack etc..fun.
Wait, you CAN actually crash the car? Tried to do that near the beginning of the game several times by swerving into traffic but the game always autocorrect the driving to go back in my lane.
I just tried it for the first time in awhile. I just crashed lol. Man, the regalia gets torn up.
