I'm always focused on finding the best angle for the pic so I don't include Kat. It would just make things more difficult to try and angle Kat in the right way too.Came across this earlier lol
I always try to fit Kat in the photo just for fun. Have all these poses, better not waste 'em.
Kat is my absolute fav. Aloy can be a great runner up.

I started out including Kat in my hunt photos but I later started pushing the boundaries of how far away I take the photo from, which usually means Kat is just floating in air 45m away from the chest and not very photogenic. So my hunt photos have become purely utilitarian...
Yeah... max possible distance, whole building in frame, get a landmark in the background, send it off. Oh well.
The tripod does push the frame out a bit so you can sometimes use it to get a little more distance.

I'd say Kat's in the majority of my shots. I am the 1%.
For treasure hint pics specifically, I try to set up the widest shot I can with some sort of local reference point (depending on how obvious the area is - gotta have some challenge) and then have her doing something funny or clever, as a way to hopefully make it more interesting to the recipient. Taking and receiving treasure pics and regular ol' open-world photo ops is the best. I just wish more people submitted pics.
On that note, fuck hunts in Lei Elgona. Everything there looks way too similar, and too many people take terribly framed shots. I just ignore them, for the most part.

I can always find out the chests, when the pictures have Kat in it. Pictures of the chest only are always purposely vague and impossible to find.
The stuff near the water tower and the main landmass is alright. The 50+ peripheral buildings that are literally all the same 3 models repeated - those are criminal.

Including Kat can be handy when the treasure chest is attached to something from the bottom. Her hair going the other direction is a great way to clue someone into that at a glance. And, yeah, the tripod having a baked-in zoom out can be helpful too.
I try to include Kat in my treasure chest photos as long as it doesn't block too much, although I have eased back on that a bit over the past few days.
Also: thanks, everyone! I would never have guessed that I'd be able to break the 2,000 Dusty Token mark, and here I am past 5K and quickly approaching 6K! The challenges seem like they've slowed down a lot, which is okay since my skills have kind of atrophied after finishing the campaign, but I still give everything that comes in a fair shot, and I'm addicted to treasure hunts.

FACTS. I send pictures most of time with Kat in it.

Y'all know that you can still move around (e.g. away from the camera) while in tripod mode, right?
StarCreator

Only if you're not floating, and unless you do goofy things like backflip out of frame you get knocked out of camera mode entirely pretty easily.
Most of my hunt camera shots are taken while floating for best positioning. I've done tripod mode a few times but most of the time this just obstructs too much of the shot.

For most of mine, I end up positioning the camera sort of on the ground behind the apple, so that it shows up only a tiny bit in frame, to get a wider angle on the surroundings. And then have Kat being goofy off to the side.

GR2 Complete Guide Available Now in Japan.
Hmm, I wonder who we have to talk to to get a combined Gravity Rush 1 & Gravity Rush 2 complete guide in the west....

Depending on the location, I may put or not Kat in the pic, if there's enough space, but it's not mandatory.
Nothing worse than a hunt pic with the chestand Kat... and not anything else to help you know where the chest is...
... well yes, a pic with only the chest, without a point of reference and without Kat is even worse lol

This looks great, and I'll be in Japan soon... wonder how likely it is to go out of stock quickly.

I try and put Kat in pretty much every treasure hunt video. The thing that's really the issue is some people don't know what recognizable landmarks are.
However it turns out, it'd be better with Kat.

Screw it, ordered from Amazon. $26 shipped is totally fine.
I'd love it if they brought it west. Something like this I'd want in English just because of the amount of extra info you could gleam from something of this size. I doubt it's ever going to happen.

Yeah, I went ahead with it too. I'll have to order the Persona 5 one too sooner or later.
Still early on but diving through the clouds into the shanty town beneath the main city was really cool. I didn't even realize it was there and then Kat basically agreed with that as she said about the same thing. Really loving the game so far. I'm trying to power through it but I'll be honest and say I just spent the last hour flying around collecting gems so I could power Kat up lol.

Picked this up today since I finished Yakuza 0, hopefully I can finish this before tuesday since I want to play Berserk. Just as much fun as the first game so far, glad I got it.

Hi, Gravity GAF! I had two questions re: GR2 which I was looking to pick up soon. I played the remaster about a month ago, and really enjoyed it. I got the Platinum and 100% on all the DLCs, so I was really surprised that I've had a rough time with the controls and aiming in the demo, even though I've replayed the demo quite a few times. (It dented my ego, obviously, I thought I'd become one with gravity!) The aiming reticule in GR1 was big, but it really helped, especially when you're very quickly moving from point to point with a challenge. It was instantly identifiable, and read well, regardless of the color of the background. The newer version is more aesthetically pleasing, but the line is so thin, and doesn't really stand out when you're moving quickly or on enemies, especially if Kat is in Lunar style mode or against a blue sky. I don't suppose there is way to change it back to the GR1 version in the non-demo version? Has anyone else had similar problems? I'm assuming levelling up Kat's skills will help a bit, but I really miss the quick and easy readability of the old aiming reticule.
I was also wondering if there are a few chapters that continue in the trend of the more surreal rift/tree levels from the first game. They were some of my favorite moments in GR1, I was hoping there would be more of it. Dat art direction and soundtrack.

As far as I can tell, there's no reticule customization. While I can't say that I had the exact problem you're describing, I did have some trouble adjusting to GR2 at first, having also played GR:R just prior. It didn't take long to feel totally natural, though. Better, even.
While not exactly the same setup as the Rift Trees, there are similar areas and events. The awesomely surreal stuff is out in full force, though, and the art direction is best-in-class, imo.

Fantastic, it's great to hear that the controls feel improved and that gloriously surreal areas are back. I have found aiming in the demo to be a bit of a shock after feeling so comfortable with GR:R, so maybe I'll give it a break for a bit and come back to it.

God, Delvool layer 18. I don't think I did it right (abused
mode lol) but after that it was clear sailing to 22, which I'm currently trying to figure out.

Just finished episode 6, I might finish this before the weekend at this rate...
Did you ever get the Tablet that asks you to kill 5 enemies with one throw? Does it want you to go into Jupiter Form and create a big ball and kill 5 nevi at once? I tried it and couldn't do it so I had to leave

That's the one I stopped on, too. Haven't gone back to mess with it again, but I figured that that was what they were asking for.

Yes, I used a debris ball. A vortex throw might work too, but a charged normal pitch did not work.Did you ever get the Tablet that asks you to kill 5 enemies with one throw?

Did you somehow group them together? They were all so far apart, hovering in the air.

There is an in game notification stating there is a server maintenance and game patch coming on 2/20.
I checked my Dusty Tokens before bed last night and found I had passed 10,000 without actually being on this week yet. lol

There are scripted times and it seems when you spend enough time in a fight/take enough damage it will trigger.

There isn't anything you can do to get those gravity phenomena to come up, right? You just have to wait? May end up being the last trophy I need but I might have to wait a few more days for them to show up....

Okay, that's what I figured. Just, just finished the game btw. What a great game. Enjoyed my time with it. It has a lot of heart.
There's a Bayonetta like section where you controlled Raven, she reminds me a lot of Jeanne
