Just finished it. One of the best endings I've ever seen. FFXV now has special place in my heart next to VII

Is there no skill that reduces spell cooldown time?

A question about one of the quests.
The quest the chick chef from Galdin Quay gives you where you need to get something from Tenebrae. I already went through there forgetting about that quest. Is there any way to return there post game or something?
Not been able to find a clear concise answer for this *Post Game Spoilers / Mechanics*
I've now finished the story and load my save outside the Throne room. Do I need to get the elevator back down to the street and alllll the way back to get umbra? How do I know it's deffo a Post Game save? I'm worried it's just a pre-end game save as it's an Auto Save not one in my manual slots :/

Yeah, get the elevator back down. There's another rest spot right outside, down the stairs to the right when you leave the citadel, I believe. No need to backtrack to the start. Post-game saves have the logo artwork on the background of each save, that's how you know.

Really? Awesome! Thanks.You can get the quest item as a reward from planting carrots at the Cape Caem

Yeap, just exchange your carrots to the restaurant dude nearby for it.

Man, for some reason I started looking at some early promotional footage of XV. And I think hearing the whole story of the development of this game would be amazing.
Lots of obvious changes like game director and everything. But still, even ignoring over half a decade of Versus XIII, this game had a lot of changes after being renamed to Final Fantasy XV. Just had a look at the reveal trailer for XV and literally nothing in it made it to the final game... and that wasn't released so long ago. Even trailers from as soon as last year are filled with stuff that isn't in the game.
I liked the game and am still having a blast with all the post game content. But it has been a while since he had a major release with such a difference between the marketing and the final release

Yeah I was taken aback at how much was cut. I went through some of the trailers and footage after Kotaku put up an article talking about how they revealed too much. It's sunny how much revealed isn't even there, though. The first trailer when it changed from versus to XV is filled with stuff before the
Leviathan
I really wonder how much stuff they're sitting on that's like 70-80% done.

Probably not as much as you think.
Content like the Leviathan sequences from Versus XIII re-reveal was likely never playable.
The Insomnia battle also didn't have to actually be completed either, it was nothing but a bunch of Magitek troops, an Iron Giant and a Behemoth. Even if it was playable they could have just pierced that trailer together through debug.
The adamantoise scene also could have just been done through debug. They're just driving past it while it moves.
There was never really any other section of Insomnia shown, so there's no reason to believe that much was "cut".

Hopefully
Bahamut and Ifrit will become summonable in the normal world
Easiest question ever
Aranea. Not only is the only female with a good personality and charisma, she seems to be the one that has more work on her fighting animations and sound design (for example, notice the mechanical sounds her weapon or armor does when he does aerial attacks, so good). Her being a Dragoon is a plus (I love Dragoon job)
Tbh the other females are pretty bland to me.

Okay, after starting new game plus, now I see why people wish they increased the levels of enemies. I'm just one shotting everything. I also noticed something else about the game through my second run. The whole dialogue choosing concept that you do a few times in chapter 1 get thrown right out the window after like chapter 3 that I completely forgot it existed.
I was almost sure I did, but it seems Just Scan mode turns off when entering HDR and I have to turn it back on while in HDR. The setting doesn't stick for some reason, goes back to off after entering HDR. Annoying, hopefully LG can fix this.

Just finished Chapter 13.
I liked it, but I understand why people hate it. Boss fight was dumb though.

Dumb mechanics-wise or story-wise?

I was at about 120 hours Noct lvl 99 everyone else lvl 96 with two vault dungeons left to go and a bunch of hunts I had completely missed because I probably only went to those restaurants once or twice towards the beginning of the game, when my JP import copy finally arrived yesterday and I started all over. Starting with FFVII I always played the import version first, so this was the first time in 20 years that I played the NA version first... and it felt so wrong. I decided I had to play the JP version, and just setting the text and voice to Japanese wasn't going to cut it, I had to have O as confirm and X for cancel. It's cool, in the JP version when you try to pick up an item you draw your weapon instead of jumping. =P

Tie between Aranea and Gentiana for me.
Can't really get into it w/out spoilers, but they both have a really refreshing attitude I think. Areana's super down to earth (ha ha, dragoon), and Gentiana is actually pretty hilarious
with her photo bombs and her sassy boss take downs.
Luna I could take or leave :-(

Both, mechanics weren't really there. Just avoid his super moves and you're good. Too bad your buddies don't understand that so you also have to spam potions and elixers. He also has an insane amount of health.
Story-wise I have no clue what happened with Ravus or why I should care. But I understand that is the part where they are going to add more cutscenes, which are really needed. What the hell was his role? I don't get it.

All I'm aware of is that Ravus had a magitek arm so transforming him into a strong daemon was probably pretty easy for Ardyn. As for how he ended up in that facility on the lowest floor, incapacitated, well your guess is as good as mine. I'm hoping that's one of the spots they add a ton more exposition when it comes time.
My only assumption is Ravus probably knew Noctis would be there due to the commotion of the military chasing them to that facility so he went there himself to hand off the sword.

I was really expecting to run into one of the armoury rooms and take a machine gun.

Been playing this on a 5.1 setup, FYI
Yeah, I finally beat
..... and I couldn't hear shit due to the poor audio mix of this game. All I heard was mostly ambient noise and Noctis' "uguggghh, oooh, ugggh"
It was both hilarious and fustrating at the same time as I didn't have the subtitles on >=(
So yeah, that was a big moment in the game's narrative that was essentially ruined due to ineptitude
Onward to Ch.14!

Revus and got the crystal cutscene shortly there after where Ardyne reveals who he really is

Oh yeah right, forgot about the arm... He got that because he put on the ring in the movie right?
About the sword, it's what I thought too. But it's clear we need some more cutscenes and stuff to fully understand what happened.

First time I got to that part I legit thought he was just hanging out there and
I killed him by falling on top of him from that super high up area. I was lol'ing so hard.

There are several monsters in the streets heading up to the final boss that you don't need to fight. Just run past them. The mandatory fights shouldn't be too bad at level 44.
Yeah that
first boss-like creature(another Deathclaw) in Insomnia
Yeah, they made the most boring character the heroine. Lol.

Fighting the King Behemoth in front of the gate is the only mandatory one.

Sigh, ain't it the truth.
I didn't actively dislike her or anything, but they just didn't give her much personality. And, as evidenced by some of the other characters, the writers clearly had it in them to write likable and interesting characters (this was one element of the game that I found surprisingly good -- I'd assumed the line-by-line dialogue would be a lot more wooden than most of it was).

The exact same thing happened to me this morning. Pretty much the only intelligible thing I heard over Notics' grunting was the dude say his name. At least I heard that, but I'm guessing I missed something else important.

How many chapters does this game has (answer in spoiler tags)? I'm surprised that the first chapters had like two or three really short story missions.
