Hey there. So are Debased and Rare Coins finite in this game? I want to boost myself up a couple of levels and I was wondering if there's an optimal time to do it in the game.
Hold on to then until you can cash them in at the 2x hotel is Galdin or the 3x hotel that you reach later in the game.

I'm at chapter 4 had the game since launch but I was busy with other games....
I like the game and all but IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO EARN GOLD?!
For the love of god doing hunts can only get me so far. I'm wondering if nay of the crap that I got is worth selling?
I got the beast whistle so I can just do that and monster just pop up

But will they respawn? Because I tried and I can only boost from 20 to 35 right now, I'd feel sad if I can't boost again.

I have to say, now that I have a Pro, the game looks much much better in Pro mode than it does on the OG PS4. The game doesn't exactly have the best AA algorithm ever and running it at a higher resolution helps to smooth things out a lot.
I'm looking forward to seeing if the next patch on the 21st smooths out the framepacing a bit but otherwise the game just looks great on the Pro.

I'm curious about this as well. I have the Xbox One version, is that still being updated and kept up? I stopped playing around this chapter too, and I'm wonder if I should just hold off as well. Have we heard any news at all about this future story update?
Yeah, they randomly spawn in treasure spots and Gladio can also pick them up with his skill after battles.

Sell treasures.
Camping takes too long to finish and I just want to go to the next quest as quick as possible. Fast travel, return to car and return to town goes to a dragging slow loading screen.
The last update is quite buggy in the Ascension screen were it doesn't load the lines, Fast travel to Lestallum goes to a black screen for 10+ seconds before loading the town, and unmounting from a Chocobo then fighting sometimes makes me screen focus back on the Chocobo and you can't do shit.
I'm hoping the update this month addresses some of the bugs.
Also, is level 32 in chapter 3 too OP for the story quests?

Most likely, yeah. I just finished Chapter 6 and I think I'm like lvl 25 or so. I haven't had a lot of trouble in battle generally speaking either.

Rock of Ravatogh is probably my favorite side mission so far. Awesome location, fun banter and the view from the top is absolutely gorgeous. Really felt like I was on a hike.
The wide open space at the top felt like another missed opportunity. I was expecting some crazy boss fight but it was completely empty. Does something appear later on?

Yeah loved it too. The game is at it's best when it's just bros adventuring and giving eachother shit. Square could honestly just release an XV-2 with a bunch of random dungeons and missions in the Nifilheim map and I'd be a happy camper.
That big empty space was bizzare though. Maybe you fight the
giant bird
Reached chapter 13 and calling it quits until the patch. If 13 is somehow worse than the earlier parts of this trash game, I'll wait until the patch somehow improves.
I fully regret paying full price for this. It's an incomplete, uneven and boring mess.
edit: I realize the patch is going to add in story elements, maybe to earlier parts of the game. I should have just held off on purchasing and/or starting the game until then and heard feedback.

Yeah there is a level 67 hunt to fight
that giant bird you see early on in the game

Just beat it. 50 hours in. Spent about 5 hours grinding before chapter 14 so I got a good chunk of side quests completed. I'm satisfied.
Second to last fight was absolutely incredible. The fights, the music, the quick time events, summons, everything. Holy shit that was a rush. The final boss was a huge disappointment in comparison.
looked awesome, well done with that design.
Overall, I liked this game but so many stupid things prevent me from truly loving it. I dont think the main baddy made a good villain at all and there are too many things glossed over and unexplained.
I grew to really like the bros and I wish it was more about us screwing around than this really dark story we got instead. Not a fan of the ending either.
Yup, I'm totally down for XV-2. Make the story less serious and doom and gloom and more about 4 guys just traveling, eating and hunting shit and I'm all in.
Awesome. I probably wont pursue that fight but I'll check it out on YT.

I'm almost 20 hours in and I still don't know what "A FINAL FANTASY for Fans and First-Timers" is supposed to mean. Aren't all games for fans and first-timers? Except maybe Mighty No.9?
Also why does Cup Noodles cost 220 gil? Are they pretending that Cup Noodles isn't super cheap food in real life or something?

When the Summon and Noctis exchange glances and Noctis acknowledges and the choir music is blasting... Crazy, CRAZY good stuff. The best FF15 can offer. And then it gets even better!!!
If you are done with the game then you can do Pitioss Ruins dungeon. It will blow your brains out.
It made me want to blow my brains out.
Chapter 13 is indeed worse than the earlier parts of the game. Only chapter I'd endorse from the game is 7.
I too wished I hadn't paid $48 for this, but whatever. At least I finally finished it today so I never have to play it ever again

It probably means if you're not either a fan or a first timer, you won't like it.
I'm in deep AP grinding mode now. I can get about 850 in half an hour, which is not too shabby. Had a couple of beers, though, and it dropped to 600, despite not actually feeling buzzed. That's why drinking and driving is bad no matter what.

Yup. The whole scene was shot so epically. And that exchange had me screaming haha. I loved it. Everything about that fight was spectacular. Gave me some serious God of War vibes.
I heard about how devious Pitioss is and I think I'll pass. I've been watching a video on some Pitioss theories and its really exciting to think about.

This is something fundamental about the game I don't get, having made it to Chapter 4. Spoilers are minor but I'll keep it tagged for the 1 person here who hasn't watched Kingsglaive.
Ardyn is the Chancellor of Niflheim and everyone obviously knows who he is in Kingsglaive. So why the hell doesn't Noctis or anyone else in his group know who he is? It seem pretty impossible to imagine that the Crown Prince of Lucis doesn't know who the key figures who lead their enemies are.

I wonder if we will see the stuff from the Dawn trailer in the DLC. They looked like in game cutscenes and they didnt show up on the final product.
The Omen trailer was pretty awesome. Never saw these trailers due to fear of spoilers so its nice checking them out now. And man the announcement trailer for XV looks like a completely different game.

It's basically saying, this is completely new in many aspects, mainly the combat but anyone can get into it.
I was confused by the 'Fans and First-Timers' thing too... it made sense to me after beating it in the sense that it's a 'new' experience (the game is completely different than any FF so far), but that there are TONS of small references and nods throughout the story that long time players would notice and appreciate.
For example, similarities Ardyn shares with both Kefka and Sephiroth (and relevant quotes like Noct referring to him as "jester"), Knights of the Round-esque summon in the final conflict between Noct/Ardyn, etc. I know there are tons more, these are just a few that stood out to me.

Best hotel is in Altissia(30k) but..If you're worried about Gil I suppose the RVs are your best bet
The Three Z's Hotel gives you the 1.5 multiplier, Gadlin Quay gives 2.0, and the Altissia hotel gives a 3.0 multiplier I believe. I don't think there are any other tiers except for the campers (1.2 multiplier).
Of course, feel free to correct if I'm wrong.

So, apparently where you face the camera can affect the rate of respawns via Beast Whistle. Using the exact same spot but facing the camera a different way, I upped my AP gain to about 950 per half hour.

Which, in particular, are you looking for? The Hunter HQ has a decent Sword, Shield, Daggers, Polearm, and Gun (each costing 10k) for purchase. Ultima Blade and Drain Lance III wouldn't be too hard to get, either, and you can upgrade your Machinery with Cid, too.
There's also the one at cape caem that's free but doesn't give you any exp bonus (1.0 multiplier).
Its for my companions i have not really purchased weapons for them... I didn't know you could until level 25 lol
What's the source of this interview? Link, please. I can't find it anywhere on their site.

Well after spending some days away from this game, and reading up on the lore and stuff, I'm starting to miss this game. Its given me time to really appreciate the things that it did really well such as the world and creature designs, and that incredible soundtrack.
"Wanderlust" is so damn good but I never heard it past the first 25 seconds in the game.

Sleep.
Once you have the enemy you want and are targeting the body part you want while holding down R1 (I use type B control scheme), clicking down R3 will lock the target on that enemy/site until they die or you change focus/target to another spot.
Hi friends,
Finally finished Chapter 1 and just started Chapter 2. Ive been following the strategy guide more or less and they make a pretty big emphasis on sidequests to level up, my question is does doing the sidequests contribute anything to the game besides leveling up i.e. are there unique items only available if you do certain sidequests etc?
Im not sure if Im expressing my question correctly... hopefully someone understands what I mean basically Im asking, are any of the sidequests worth it besides the typical leveling up grind?
thanks!

You can get some nice items at the end of some side quest chains, for example you get a ribbon which
"Prevents all status aliments"
FInished the game recently (haven't done the secret dungeon and some side stuff yet but played plenty). Really enjoyed it myself despite ups and downs. Story pacing is indeed messy but I enjoyed the actual characters, the theme/story itself and just the amount of detail some stuff got. Probably my first fav FF since the ps1 era (excluding mmos).
Chapter 13 is indeed a boring slog tho, won't lie on that. But I was okay with the other parts, even tho it did feel really rushed. I think tho that they're pretty close to a good formula if they can refine some stuff like the side quests being too samey and just a better pacing. But overall, great experience for me

Does Ribbon prevent instant death in this? I know it usually doesn't, so I'm curious.
I'm almost done maxing out Ascension. Just 5000 or so more AP to go.
