Arrright, I might try it eventually. Will anything happen if I switch difficulties? Trophies disabling, content locking, etc.?
I don't think so.

This reminds me that I'm still experiencing the glitch where the game no longer allows me to summon or ride chocobos aside from the racing minigame. It never fixed itself
I guess I got lucky as I never encountered any glitches like this. Hopefully they patch it by the time I decided to play it again next year (just got the platinum trophy on Sunday, so it's break time).

Trying to dig through 2 OTs worth of content and I'm having problems finding it, where was the spot to farm for coins? And the general max out XP strat? Also, I'm in the middle of chapter 10 and maybe I'm being dumb but...
how do I get back to altissa for hotel and food?
I really liked the bit where Iris is rolling with the gang. Getting to go through a dungeon with her was really fun, especially since she provides the only bit of White Magic I've seen in this game.

I'll ask him again as the only pic he sent me after this glitch happened when camping is this. And he said they aren't receiving any EXP. Hopefully they show up as he tries to do more story missions that require them to show up for cutscenes and stuff.
Yeah some glitches that people are reporting are things I never experienced, like party members turning transparent or camera freezing in an optional dungeon. This is the only big one I've experienced but it's annoying because it means I have to run everywhere to do hunts and stuff now, instead of quickly sprinting to the area with a chocobo.

Do I not get the option till later? Returning to the
past
I'm level 39 at the end of chapter 8. There are a ton of sidequests and dungeons marked on my map. Should I go do them before I move on to the next chapter?
I only have 4 or 5 of the royal arms so far. To be honest I rarely use them because of the health drain, but some of them are really cool. I think I have the 4 from the story so far, and the mace from the
Also I feel like I do very little damage to some monsters, they don't resist my damage type but take forever to kill. Last night I took a hunt for 5 of the grey-colored Dhalmels - they were level 28, and at level 39 with fairly up-to-date weapons it took me at least 6-7 minutes of straight fighting to kill all 5 of them.
BTW, driving around listening to the FFXI Gustaberg or Ronfaure songs is pure bliss. Love it.
It tells me I won't be able to return to the open world for a while when I talk to Cid.

volcano. I made a huge mistake in that dungeon by checking what quests and hunts are available before going. The IGN wiki said "Take the hunt for a Zu before going". Big mistake, that thing was level 67 and oneshot everyone. I had to panic to run by it to get the royal arm and to exit. Very scary.

Story related question.. SPOILERS possibly?
Certainly not game breaking for me, but if I didn't hear it again I wouldn't be upset.
Does Noct ever stop complaining about his headache? When I'm doing side quests, I keep hearing him say "ahhhh, make it stop" or something along those lines.

You know, I never thought about that (o_o)
Yea, once you do a bit more story missions, it'll stop. If I recall it's right after
you face the Archaeon/titan and obtain his summon

You can return and do quests in any chapter, don't worry about that.
You get a few more royal arms as part of the story. You might as well get all of them except the one in Costlemark (maybe best saved for postgame) and perhaps the one in the mine (recommended level 50).
One thing to keep in mind is that the royal arms have some insane passive stat boosts. You are best off equipping 3 of them for stats + one regular weapon that you actually intend to use. Ultima blade is actually pretty easy to get, and is the best weapon until postgame.
Ignis' enhancement ability is very useful for increasing damage.
HOLD UP. I still get the stat boosts from non-active weapons? Oh my god, game changer.

Yup, I wish I had realized this before I made it to ch. 12.

Yeah devs! Let people have skipable credits...
Wow had no idea about the passive boost. Thanks! I looked up the Ultima sword and I think I already completed over half of it just playing normally. Cid called me last night to pick up the 2nd upgrade so I just need that last one.
I'm really loving this game right now. Can't wait until I get home to play.

Ended up playing some more last night and this morning since my copy of TLG didn't come yesterday (installing now as it just came in the mail).
Finished up the Dave and Sonia and Randolph quests and farmed some more XP. So now all the side quests are done aside from the fishing one (have the level 28 catch the whatever Gar one). Did all the royal tombs and the first sealed dungeon (Keycatrich Trench). A bit over 71 hours in, with Noctis at level 93 and the others at 91.
Doubt I'll play anymore until DLC. I can't go for the platinum since my complete 40 side quests trophy didn't unlock despite getting the one for doing 80. I don't feel like grinding fishing, cooking and survival to level 10, nor doing the Admantoise fight, anyway.
Really enjoyed the game despite it's many flaws. Will be hard to decide where to place it on my GOTY list as it has so many flaws, yet I dumped over 70 hours in it which is super rare for me and enjoyed most of them.

Is there some awesome reward tied to fishing? I'm over 90 hours with one dungeon and a few hunts left to do and that's it. Noct is at fishing lvl 3 and I wasn't really intending to get him any higher.

Easiest way to level: lasagna, expericast, bandersnatch, high Xp hotel. Went from 60 to 90 in one fight with about ten minutes prep.
If you haven't finished the game, you should be good until the end.
If you are in post game, just do some sidequests and hunts and then sleep at Galdin or Altissia.
Or that

why do I lose maximum hp even if I do not 'die' and go into recovery mode?

So bandersnatch is in the thicket quest only or is their a repeatable hunt?
Haven't finished the game yet. I'm on the final chapter but I felt the previous chapter fights were taking too long so I figured I'd level up a bit.
Septimus Prime

Yeah, it's serious business. Even in chapter 1, with no lasagna and just using the Debased Coins I pick up off the ground, I got 5-figure EXP that way.
It's not a quest or hunt; it's just roaming around there. The easiest way to find it is to talk to the guy at the diner at Hammerhead and put a marker on the Eos Green Peas slightly to the northeast. If you pick up the peas, there's another low-value food item--potatoes or something--nearby that's right around there, too.

Another exhilarating moment is fighting at night and strong enemies step to the plate to fight.
I remember... wayyy back when I first got to Hammerhead.... there was a powerful Iron Giant at night and I ran from him because we didn't stand a chance.
But recently? The guys and I destroyed him. I was warping around that clown and hitting him where it hurts.

There's one that spawns just north of Hammerhead, in the little crater area on the map.
Most people are just doing it for the trophy. There's a trophy for getting each of the bros skills to level 10. If you aren't going for the platinum, and dislike fishing, you can ignore.
Using Expeicast is definitely faster (just the collecting of coins is what takes awhile), but I found farming the quest mission killing wyverns next to the volcano was better for me. Not only was it good experience (roughly 4800xp every 3 mins or so) but up to 11,000ish gil from the drops they give you as well (1600 a piece).
Leveled from 60-99 in a few hours and went from 150kish to 600kish as well. Was able to kill two birds with one sword. XD

It's a bummer that there don't seem to be any character skills, no matter how high-level, that are capable of healing your maximum HP - you *need* items to do that.
Don't get me wrong, I really love the return to the oldschool dungeon-crawl feel of really needing to budget what you've got before you return to a safe spot to save and heal up, but in the postgame it'd be nice for there to be a way to do away with the majority of that.

You can go into danger and be healed by an ally to recover maximum HP with the corresponding Ascension ability, no?

Not manually at least.
There is a node for ignis to analyse but its at random and its inconsistent.
How exactly does expericast work? I can make the spell (I'm sitting on a trove of rare coins and debased currency) but I don't want to burn more materials than necessary to get maximum benefit.
I really want to take another crack at Crestholm Channels but I need to bulk up a bit first.
