Ok that is good to know because I'm definitely not in a hurry to level up. But going from what I've read on here some folks are like waaaay super strong on par with the same chapter I'm on so I was beginning to think I was doing something crazy wrong.
I will say though that the level 42 Red Giants and Imperial Assassins are regularly sweeping the floors of Eos with my crew though, so I'd like to level up a bit more to give Noct and bros a fighting chance.
beat all races at level 4 choco afair
sprint normal....when you run out stam hit drift.....right when your chocobo jumps when the drift is finished....hit the drift button again. This refills the stam bar like crazy if done right.
I did all races without using boosts at the camp, if you use the sprint boost at camp.....you would blow fuckers away

Does Luna know Gentiana is Shiva? That's what I would have loved to see because Luna seems to journey to the six and possibly knows Shiva is dead, right? How does Gentiana become her messenger then?

First time posting in this thread.
I´m almost 30 hrs in and at chapter 8.
This game is slowly climbing on my personal GOTY list.
Don´t know why I love it so much, because so much about this game annoys me, but for some reason I do.
I still feel like I´m missing a ton of mechanics/content because there are basically no tutorials. In 30 hrs I bought 2 swords.
I´m still wearing the ring I got fairly early on because nothing seems better.
I´m spending my AP points on whatever because most of the time I have no idea what the abilities do.
It´s a weird game.

Finally finished Costemark. Was kinda anticlimactic because my boy Ramuh decided to show up in the boss fight lol.
Had to stop playing tonight because the game seemed in the verge of imploding. Camera glitch, some model loading glitch, and the design of the final part feels like the designers went mad. But the journey was fun. I like how even in the creepiest time like that the party had to say something to make it still fun.

I just reached the beginning of Chapter 2 back at Hammerhead, and I took some time last night to watch Kingsglaive again as well as play A King's Tale. I'm still loving the game, but I feel like I'm not using my AP properly. Is there an ability that I should be focusing on leveling up first?
Also, unless I missed something in Kingsglaive, who is

Post-game dungeon spoilers:
So far really disappointed with the sealed dungeons. Just the same thing, over and over. I guess the items at the bottom are nice, but you'd think they could have at least put in a little bit of effort and made them not the exact. same. cave network.

Clearly the characters did to attack a whole ENEMY BASE to avenge him. Honestly though... he was a butler they knew or something in Brotherhood but the reality is that in game he has 2 mins of screentime and this part is just lol instead of sad. Yeah, it is really silly. Who seriously gives a fuck about Jared besides Talcott?
Ignis' Regroup and Enhancement are essential, IMO.
Prompto's Gravisphere is nice since it frees up his second weapon slot for another tool.
Boost Warp Strike/Link Strike damage.
Boost non-HP party stats (Strength/Magic/Spirit/Vitality)
Get some of the exploration-for-AP nodes (driving the car, fishing, riding chocobos, etc.) - you can safely ignore the ones that give you XP for the same thing
General skills for your bros like Venom Fang and the ones that do deathblows when an enemy is vulnerable

The Trophies are a little disappointing. I got the Platinum a few hours ago but there's still so much shit to do in this game... I like to use Trophies as a checklist to make sure I do everything in the games I love. But here, I'm going to have to look up a guide online to make sure I haven't missed anything. There's not even a single Trophy for the secret dungeons...
I LOVED the in-game Trophies in FFXII. They were hard as fuck but very rewarding. I'll never Platinum FFX though, I'm not very good at dodging thunder.

I finally started the game on Friday after watching Kingsglaive and Brotherhood and put in almost 17 hours over the weekend - for me that's a ton as I tend to play games in 1-2 hour chunks. I really like it so far, a whole lot.
The only thing I really dislike is that the same button is used for collecting/interacting and jumping. Too many times I'll walk up to something I want to pick up and just jump over it, and have to re-position. Also Ignis' voice when he says "I have discovered a new RECIPEHHHHHH" is really annoying.
I think right now I'm in chapter 6, I just
How far through the game am I, percentage wise?
I have no idea if I'm going too fast or slow or whatever. How many more open-world zones are there? I have a lot of fun just walking around, doing hunts and finding random items and I hope there's at least 1-2 more than what I already have available.
I actually did the thunder dodging the last time I played the game when it came out on Steam, I was intending to get all achievements and then blitzball killed it for me. Way too much blitzball.

infiltrated a base to get back the Regalia after it was lost during the Titan battle. I summoned Ramuh at the base and holy shit that was cool. I've read in a few places that people didn't like the Titan area but I thought it was great, what about it did people not like?

So I am at Chapter 13 and a
daemon is hunting me in the corridors. He cannot hurt me, and I cannot kill him. I guess this is a section where I am supposed to sneak by unnoticed but I don't know how to upgrade my security card.

Thanks. I just got Regroup last night and the "ride along" AP node. I've been trying to dole out AP regarding techniques evenly so that I don't leave a character gimped.

I'm at the same place as you!
I completely agree about the X button to collect items and jump, I pretty much jump 9 times out of ten on a first go lol
The biggest problem I've found with the "X to pick up" is that, for some reason, it's highly dependent on Noctis' stance.
So say you're jumping along in a dungeon (because jumping is faster than running). You see an item. You jump to the item. The X prompt comes up, but by the time you hit it, Noctis is in the "crouching" part of his landing (which causes the X prompt to disappear). So, instead, you jump again. On the way back down, the prompt appears again. Hit X. Noctis crouches from landing instead of picking the item up. Jump. Rinse repeat until you manage to convince your brain that following the button prompt in the middle of the screen is not doing what it says it will.
It should be an easy thing for them to fix in patches, but it happens so frequently that I'm stunned they didn't catch it in testing.

At least this Jared wasn't in Suicide Squad. That makes him the best Jared imho.
They have had cameo presence in pretty much every game since FF6. Though not any of the earlier games.
I don't know, but if the game is saying you can't fast travel to a quest location, you can often still travel to a Parking Lot that's very close to that location.
I distinctly remember that the game wasn't letting my fast travel to quest objective in Lestallum, but it let me fast travel to one of the Parking Lots inside Lestallum (there were two Parking Lot choices; only one allowed fast travel).
Your second and third spells can kill him. I haven't actually had to sneak past anything yet.
Hi-potion should max out your HP, but only to the point where your max HP has deteriorated (the gray portion of your HP bar, not the black).
Post-game
Imagine the possibilities...
I definitely agree, though -
the World of Ruin had the potential to anchor a separate full game, and not delivering on even a tiny part of it when the majority of the required assets are already finished is so frustrating. I really hope they can manage to revisit it down the line - even if sequels are off the table, it shouldn't be beyond the scope of DLC, especially since it seems like the other DLC episodes will include areas not in the main game; while a World of Ruin chapter would use existing assets.

I have a question that I can't answer with Googling:
Do the secondary spell effects (namely Expericast) work when magic is equipped on your buddies? Or is it for Noctis only?
Good tips, will use.

But I can't use my third spell (R1+triangle) and the draining life doesn't do much either. In fact I've ran out of mp and is in stasis now. So me and that Uttu spider is just staring at each other..
Oddly enough I still have Fishing/Cooking left to do. I ran around wayyyy too much early on and Gladio maxed his skill second, lol.

Think this might be one of those rare games that I kinda hate most elements of the game (characters, combat, sidequests, story, design decisions,music) that I'm still compelled to play away.
Just seems to scratch that 'solo mmo' itch I've missed. Great 'chill' game after work, when you don't want to think too much.

Man, I am kinda forcing myself to stop playing because I am still hoping for a patch that adds ability to just grab iris as a guest at any point post game.
I actually picked up the Ascension node for "Gain MP when you dodge at the last second" for this part.
The R1 "kill everything" spell (the one that isn't Death and isn't Holy) can only be done at full MP. So run around until you get back to full MP, or pop some sort of potion to restore it, then cast the spell.
Death gets easily interrupted by most enemies, but the big spell has super armor, so you can finish casting it while you're getting hit.

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
Done with chapter 9
the death of Luna FMV was truly beautiful, even though we didn't know much of her at least through Noctis' pain we get a glimpse of what could've been. Leviathian fight was horrible btw, but the chapter was enjoyable overall if a bit rushed. Now into chap 10!

I've played about 25 hours of this game. I'm loving it. Honestly, for a long time now I had nowhere near as much interest in video games as I did when I was younger. You might laugh, but FFXIII was what killed my interest! FFXV is bringing it back as flawed as it might be.

All I want is FF XV-2 starring Iris, Gentiana and Aranea. They can even be a girl band for all I care.
I'm nearly at level 6 fishing and nearly level 9 survival but that bad barely moves anymore.

I haven't found anyone with this same issue? Did you try a different copy or redownloading the game?

Finished the game over the weekend, and did a few post-game content quests/dungeons. Also finally watched Brotherhood which was ok, and Kingsglaive, which I loved.
Without a doubt, this is a top 5 Final Fantasy for me personally.
I loved the darker tone, and pretty much every one of the major characters (even Luna - after watching Kingsglaive).
Battle system is a lot of fun once you get it, like a more interactive but less granular FFXII system. The whole package was just really, really good.
I am really excited to see what they patch into the game, and the DLC that comes out. I didn't find Chp 13 to be nearly as bad as everyone else complained about, though it did go on a bit long.
There's a lot of room for exposition, and it definitely felt like there was a lot of opportunity for more game, and more explanation, and missing plot pieces. You can definitely see where the game would have gone, provided there was more time (lol) to work it out.
The 2 things I want to see patched in the most are:
1.

More time in the World of Ruin. I think everyone agrees that we should have time with the guys besides Insomnia. I also would love to be able to use the timeskip character designs.
2.
An accessory that negates the HP drain on the Royal Arms. I don't care if it drops from the hardest boss in the game, it'd just be nice to piss around with those weapons on harder enemies without having to worry about basically 1HKO'ing yourself, which I've done many times using warp strike with the Axe on a group of enemies.
Those personalities would work together surprisingly well...
I imagine that I'd like them more than the main characters of FFXV. >_> At least pre-Chapter 10.
Fishing was the easiest to grind, imo. I got that first. Got Survival last. Used rubber band trick for it cuz screw running around for another 20 hours lol
