My favorite place to farm some quick AP!
I got Prompto to level 10 before even beating the main story, never got the tech to take them in battle manually either. I feel like his is probably the easiest to max as long as you're resting frequently.
Strange, Prompto's photography got to ten before I beat the story. Make sure you take pictures whenever he asks you in the car or when you see a camera prompt (lol, no pun intended) somewhere in the world.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I rested like 5 times in 80 hours of playtime (not counting the main story "forced" ones)... mostly because I was saving up so much XP all the time. My levels pretty much went like this: 1 -> 20 -> 55 -> 90
or something like that

Saving xp really only saves you gil. You can easily get massive gil and xp after you get the
ring magic
wyvern hunt in verinas station or whatever it's called, use ring magic, each hunt should take a couple mins total including travel time. With the lasagna and moogle ring you can get 10k gil from selling the wyvern drops and 10k xp per hunt.
See if you'd been playing the game normally you wouldn't have to grind his profession.
Not sure why everyone was so crazy about banking XP during the main story in this thread when it's a breeze to reach max level in the endgame.

I know we've disagreed a lot in the past, but I am glad to see you enjoy(ed) the game.
And I agree. I want a datalog/bestiary of sorts. Like everytime you find a Cosmogony book it is recorded in a codex/datalog of sorts.
It is definitely a spectacle to behold. It's up there for me with Battle of the Gardens in FFVIII.
Hahaha. Awesome.
What did they patch in?

Ignis I get it the roads are dangerous, shut up and get in the back. Jesus, this game is trying to make me dislike it.
A flashback with Jared's introduction cutscene when Iris is telling you what happened.

Fucking LOL.
No seriously, what is the relationship between Jared/Talcott and Noctis? It seems like they're just some random old dude and brat that Noctis knew, like why are they so important? Are they part of the royal family or something?
Jared is the royal family's butler, Talcott is Jared's grandson.
Need some MC Hammer to go along with the gif

To add to the stupidity of Jared's character... the family's butler is something that Ignis should respect greatly. Like the butler could've been this super cool fighter butler who was similar to Cid snd Cor.
Honestly I'm not sure, but I knew it without being told by anyone else somehow.
The night gets longer as u progress through the chapters, not how much you olay
If u don't want spoiler then don't look into what caused it

When Jared introduces himself he says he has been in service of the Amicitia family for many years.

You don't have to grind anything... especially not photography. Prompto hit level 10 for me before I hit chapter 10. I've also hit level 10 in fishing (but I actually enjoy fishing and fishing mini games soooo) and level 9 in both survival and cooking all with never intentionally grinding any of them.
Jared's also important
Or at least that's what I know so far, maybe it won't go down that smoothly, but I didn't actually start Chapter 6 yet.
I also think the way they're handling Luna's character so far is pretty interesting. I understand the disappointment about lack of screentime, but again, at least as far as I am into the game, it all feels absolutely intentional and justified. Every time they talk about Luna it's in a "I can't wait to meet her!" tone, it's obviously building up to finally seeing her again after all these years, and worrying about her well being, not having any way to know how she's doing aside from the occasional radio message, talking to Gentiana or a vision from the Six.
Chapter 5 was great, imo. Had a blast with it.
I was also surprised by
Question:
I just finished Chapter 5 for the first time. I spent around 70 hours before moving on from Chapter 3.
I immediately went to youtube to watch that cutscene, because if it was there from the start, the whole "Who's Jared?" thing wouldn't make any sense, and from the three videos I watched, none of them had the flashback.
for keeping the boat hidden and in order in Caem. Without him, they wouldn't have a way to cross to Altissia.
Or at least that's what I know so far, maybe it won't go down that smoothly, but I didn't actually start Chapter 6 yet.
Getting back to Lestallum at the end of the chapter, with the different song and empire flags everywhere was actually a pretty cool moment.
I don't know how they'll handle Jared's thing from now on, so maybe it'll get worse, but so far I didn't think it was weird. And I also didn't get the impression that you were supposed to care or be sad. You don't have to cry every time a character on screen cries, you don't have to be sad just because they're sad. It's obvious they knew him for a while and cared about his death, but the game doesn't seem too concerned with making you care about it. They just can't pretend these characters don't give a fuck.
Just like having years upon years of relationships between them before the game even starts can make for a much better portrayed friendship between the main cast, it also has its downsides. Like for example what the characters care about and what the player care about not always matching.

I was also surprised by
Ravus' appearance in Chapter 5. I didn't really like his in-game design at all, and I hated his character from Kingsglaive, but I actually liked what I saw of him here, and it made me not care about his design anymore. He seems like less of an idiot, and much more capable. Doesn't even seem like the same character from Kingsglaive, which can only be a good thing, because he was an idiot. People in general were really stupid in Kingsglaive, Luna was also a complete moron.
Question:
I'm about to meet Iris, and Gladio says we should take her with us in the car. Am I back to a linear stretch the moment I pick her up or can I have her join the party and go do side stuff all over Lucis? That would be cool as hell.

Probably Brotherhood.
Did he, now? He is so forgettable in every way, shape, and form, I honestly don't remember that. Still does not make the game's effort of trying to tug your heartstrings about what happened to him not laughable, though.
Also, another in the "Wow I played the game for more than 60 hours and I just found out by now!": apparently if you are equipping a Royal Arm and you are shot, when you press Square the Royal Arm will block all the bullets and you don't phase. Huh.
Only found out about this through GAF, it's a pretty cool detail.
She joins
But like cor, most of the map will be locked
You can take her to malmalam thickets though

Same. Whoever designed that is a moron. I beat him about 6 or 7 times like you, and used up a bunch of megalixirs. Had to look up online what I was missing. Really soured that whole experience.
Just proceed with the story. You can come back soon enough.
Count me as part of that club.
Going from one of the best fights I've ever played to one of the worst is an achievement at least.

I'm about 13 hours in and still early story wise b/c I have a habit of wanting to do lots of side stuff. I like the game but I'm not sure why. The combat is clicking w/ me finally but the game was designed by a team of monkeys. I just don't get the design choices. Time sinks have their own mini time sinks. I can do about 3 quests and then have to head to a motel or camping ground b/c driving at night sucks so god damn much. I was glitching out in a tunnel b/c I'm guessing a giant spawned above me and my characters couldn't figure out what was going on. There is a good game here somewhere, it just has piles of crap on it.
I could have sworn I noticed this during my own playthrough, it's a great attention to detail if true! Still only at chapter 8 but I'm sure of it.
Yes, you can. I did exactly this for several hours! But the locked section is also quite short and you'll be back to freely exploring in very little time.
Lol dude I'm in 13
and it's not THAT BAD. Feels like some old school game design also previous 8bit FF dungeons made in today's game engines

Chapter 13 spoiler
I felt that the Prompto being an MT reveal came completely out of no where, and had zero impact on the story or Prompto himself. Really it was a pointless reveal that I feel should have been cut:

So you see game, when you are expecting me to fight a big monster like that humongous bird or various Mecha, why do you set your camera so high up that I can barely even see my guys doing whatever under that big enemy?
WHY.
If you cut that how they will able to sell that DLC tho
