On Chapter 6. Unlocked the abilities to switch to Prompto or Ignis.

Holy hell, is it supposed to be this powerful?!

Prompto does 9999 damage with his Rocket Launcher and Ignis seems equally as powerful.

I feel like it's a tad too strong... I'm only Level 29.

Uhh, so warping outside of combat is exclusive to the Tobii eyetracker tech or are they just showing off the tech in a debug-kinda mode? oO

Can never understand eye tracking unless you like need it due to disability. I don't look at things I need to teleport to, I glance at it momentarily and change my view to enemies...

First time watching the Noctis trailer for Tekken. What if... Noctis is on Smash Switch? It may not be probable, but it will be awesome!

That deciding round remix of Apocalypsis Noctis sounds awesome.

I would absolutely love his inclusion and the meltdowns it would cause. One of the leakers mentioned him being a possibility (unfortunately it's probably not credible)

Yeah, I still remember the moment when Cloud was announced for Smash 4. Me and my brother was speechless watching the Direct. Noctis may not be as significant to FF and gaming as a whole as Cloud, but I can imagine people yelling "WTF" in such announcement.

Yeah, character-switching is still unbalanced as hell :D Hope they'll rebalance and maybe even add a skill tree for each bro, so they don't have all these crazy skills from the start.

I have the graphics maxed out on 1440p 100%...and there's this weird dithering to the hair. And I'm getting some glimmering while walking near shiny objects. Anyone experience this?

First time playing FFXV, and playing on the PC. Chapter 14 is absolutely brutal, with a boss gauntlet that has me reminiscent of Ninja Gaiden pains. Currently at level 43, and after exhausting my potion supply I had no choice but to back out so that I can go level up some more/purchase more potions.

Unless I'm misremembering, I just skipped all the optional dudes and ran for the end boss. The end boss is way easier than anything on the road.

Or am I thinking of chapter 15? It's been a while.

Yep, than I am not misremembering. I just ran past all those mobs on the way to the throne room. I was level 56 (PS4, relatively early after game launch) and most of the monsters in those smoky city streets would one-shot me. I just skipped them, the final boss gave me no trouble.

The chapter is very different now with the Royal/Windows Edition changes. Not sure if that super strong Iseultalon is still spawning there (can someone confirm?).

I wonder if we'll see the Fighting King's Raiment from Tekken 7 added to FFXV at some point. I like how it looks. (Not in these low-quality pictures though...)

I see people randomly bring up super bosses like Omega or Adamantoise. Do I have to worry about randomly running into them during the game, or are they specifically post game bosses? Also, do they have obscure requirements to actually encounter?

I also had a question about overall damage. Can your regular attacks be upgraded to break the damage limit of 9999, like in FFX? Also, What's the best route to go to maximize my damage output in general? Like, I have the Ultima Blade and am at level 67, but I've found enemies that are around 20 levels below me that still take more than 1 attack string to kill. I'm used to be able to 1 or two shot enemies I severely out level. Is the game just structured like that? Or, should I be focused on learning and using magic to have high damage output?

Adamantoise is a hunt that you have to trigger deliberately, and you will know it when you see it. Omega is in the final dungeon and while you CAN run into him by accident (I literally crashed the Regalia into him), you can also run away from him pretty easily. Once he spawns (he gets a cutscene) he will always hang out in the same general area of that dungeon, even if you leave and come back.

And no, regular attacks can't break the damage limit as far as I can tell. Only Techniques, once you've bought their respective characters' Limit Break ascension grid node.

What's the best method for leveling after 99?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
I did hours of killing Adamantoise with the Alterna insta-kill spell and the 100% EXP buff from the expensive food in Altissia until I had 8.5 million, then tripled that in the Altissia hotel to go from 99 to 120 :D Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes it takes a few more, but rarely more than a minute or so for 80k EXP per kill. Put on some nice podcasts, it can take a few hours. I hope it's still possible to inst-kill it with Alterna and that it wasn't patched out (I did it last year).

I don't think there's a much faster way, or does anybody know one?

Also farmed 25k AP for hooours to unlock every node. It's crazy because I'm absolutely not the type of player who cares about maxing out things at all or likes to farm and grind in games, but FFXV somehow is an exception for me.

Alterna's success rate is definitely still buffed. I just wasted a Sir Tonberry with it on the first shot, same with Melusine.

VG24/7: With content updates and a powerful PC, Final Fantasy 15 is finally the game it was meant to be
That's what I keep coming back to. With this new content FF15 really does feel like the game it should've been now. This goes for PS4 and Xbox One where the new content has improved the game, but is especially the case on PC. It's one of the best quality PC ports I've seen of a major console-only game ever, especially one out of Japan. After deeply varying performance on the various console models, PC is where it's at: I can get 4K visuals at nearly 60fps, and if I drop to 1400p or 1080p a solid frame rate is absolutely assured. It looks gorgeous, but the improved frame rate also lets FF15's combat shine in a way it hasn't up until now. It's extremely reassuring to get such a high-quality PC port from Square Enix so soon after having confidence dented by the utter disgrace that was the PC version of Chrono Trigger.

Final Fantasy 15 still isn't perfect. It's around the time you realize most of the side quests have you fetching tomatoes or peas and rubbish like that repeatedly that it'll dawn that this is no Witcher 3, and that's borne out in fairly lackluster character progression and still rocky narrative moments. Still, it remains one of the most special, ambitious and impressive RPGs of a generation.

First final fantasy game I've played in over a decade.

The OCD completionist in me is killing me.... 20ish hours in I'm still on Chapter 5 because I can't help myself from doing every damn hunt & sidequest... and I'm just so anxious to get them all done I still drive at night only to waste more time fighting the damn demons. (sigh)

Anyways, Noctis's VA performance so far is below par IMO. He's alright when trying to be sentimental or sad... but his angry voice is way too nonchalant.

And the character interactions don't make sense honestly.
The empire commits genocide on his hometown and murders his father yet Noctis shows no emotion towards Ardyn?

I also walked into this game thinking all 4 of the main characters were friends, but now that I know Ignis and Gladiolos are his bodyguard/caretakers it just personally feels kind of awkward. I hope they give a good reason for Ignis & Gladiolos to stick with protecting Noctis over leaving all their friends/family to die in Lucia.
