I think this is the first open world game where I've actually enjoyed the open world aspect. Most of the time I find open worlds boring and repetitive, but I gotta admit, I'm really enjoying exploring this world and doing all the side stuff.
It's not going to be the first game to make me enjoy fishing though

You should try the costlemark one right after you finish this one
Ever gotten gameovers before? Well, you will now
Yeah I think its the strongest Machinery in the game.

Gotta say the more I play the more I enjoy. Still only in chapter 3. The game is certainly more style over substance but the gameplay is fun and story is serviceable so far, if incredibly barebones. Sorry Square but I ain't watching a damn movie to make up for a games lack of story telling.
Side quests so far though are holy shit by the books MMO fetch quests. I love how the NPCs say stop by later then instantly you can pick up the next fetch quest in the line.

Speaking of Chocobos does anyone else want to ride their Chocobo all day? -_-

Hiliarious bug after the first boss loqi. A munch of magic soldiers spawned and were just shooting at my party during the cut scene while noct gives no fucks and walks through bullets.
These chapters are disappointly short.

WTF. Please tell me it isn't as long as this one
It gets easier when you level up your chocobo and you can use mimett greens to increase all it's stats.
Surprised to see some people spent 150 hours and haven't beat it all yet, ha ha. I got to like 115 hours and I think I've done everything I know of. Done all side quests, (all unlocked ones anyway, don't know if theres any more broken down car ones I missed or injured people about), hunting quests, dungeons/sealed dungeons, all level 99.
Only things I haven't done is filled up the ascension grid completely, but hopefully something I can do in NG+ and caught all fish and probably all recipes (Didn't realise buying food at places unlocked recipes until late).

What are the other games with fun fishing mechanics? This game got me interested.
Definitely agree about the open world. Not the first I enjoyed, but one of the few. When I see people complaining that there's nothing to do and the open world is pointless, that's usually a good sign for me.

Have you finished sealed costlemark ?
Is that how it works? I had no idea.

Yea I know you need to increase Potency. But I wasnt sure if there was anything else I needed to get.
Anything above 99 is the next step for each magical ability. So Fire becomes Fira at 100. Not sure what number you need to be at though for the next step.

i'm currently doing a hunting mission where the condition has to be daytime and raining for the monster to come out. tricky......
so i thought just wait and see how far i can go without using it and once i accumulate enough AP i'm going to spend it all at once. maybe once the december update hits.
i'm about at chapter 13 so almost finished. i think it's from having a bad experience not having enough AP for either FF13 or FF10 and it drove me crazy if i used my AP and couldn't take my picks back and get the things i wanted later on.

100 + potency = Ara
200+ potency = Aga
You can unlock nodes on the Ascension Grid to improve the potency by +10 or +30, making it easier to reach the limit.
That's not how it works.
Adding raw spell energy and catalysts increases potency.
1-99 is tier -
100-199 is tier 2 -
200+ is tier 3.
Edit: between above.
There are nodes on the Grid that increase the potency of the magic when doing elemancy. I think there's like 2 or 3 that boost it each time.
Pretty sure that's the only way to get to the -aga level of spells other than through using items in elemancy as well.

In the Magic tree there are skills that automatically add 30, 50 and 100 to Potency when creating a spell, so those can get potency over 99.
Also, the more ingredients you add, the higher the potency. You can add more than one element to increase potency over 99, and several items also increase potency. The element you used the most of is the one that determines the element of the spell. Not sure how it works if you use equal amounts of 2+ elements.
Hope that helps.
Edit: The skills that add 50 and 100 cost 555 and 999 AP respectively. Not worth it IMO. The +30 potency is definitely worth it though.

Played Chapter 9. Surprising, but not surprising. I can feel the lack of time/budget. It seems like we're just going to jump between the major story points at this point and just cut out all the fat in between. You can feel how they wanted to have open world in this chapter.
As for what goes down (Ch 9 spoilers):
As for what goes down (Ch 9 spoilers):
the negotiation was super cool. I'd love to see a bit more of that type of thing.
Luna's death surprised me, but I guess it's not that surprising b/c they want to ape FFVII I guess? Luna's such a non-character though that it didn't affect me much at all. She felt underused the entire time.
Ignis's injuries though were a huge surprise, especially when the extent of them was revealed at the start of the next chapter. How's he going to be able to fight!?
That battle visually spectacular, but it felt like an asspull lol. It didn't feel earned.
Huh. I spend them immediately. I assumed you can eventually max out the grid anyway. What with the AP accrued from traveling in the car and chocobos in the Ascension Grid. Also 1 point per warp strike kill.
What level are you?

Obligatory "Who??". Anyways I am still loving the post game. Some of the higher level monsters are fun to fight, but can be frustrating how fast they can kill you.
Finished it yesterday. Lv. 54, 45 hours. I have quite a few problems with this game, but overall, I really enjoyed it. These types of open-world action RPGs are becoming a favorite of mine (The Witcher 3 being a recent example), and I had a great time on the adventure. The overarching story was kinda meh, but the bond between you and your childhood friends is probably one of the better expressions of real relationships in any mainline FF game.
Overall, I'd give it a B+/A-. I'm really looking forward to seeing what changes/improvements come with future updates, and I hope that the FF7 remake has combat like this.

Randomly lost the last boss fight
.
during second phase and I don't even know how. The checkpoint is super shitty as well. Not a fan

If you use equal amounts of multiple elements, it'll randomly choose once when you cast it. For example, with no Ascension upgrades, if you dump in 99 of each element and mix in a Megalixir, you get Quintcast III, which will randomly cast one -ga spell up to five times. The spell icon will be a question mark instead of whatever element it usually is.

Why do we get a second OT ?
well, I noticed it's a neogaf thing , is it because we posted to many times on the OT/1?

Reached (well, almost) the max number of posts per thread. I think it's 20K posts. That's a lot of XV talk.

Yeah, this fight is shit.
Which is disappointing too, because the first phase was alright, and the boss before this was pretty good.
Thanks, I can't believe i'm still learning about the systems 25 hours in.

20k replies in an OT makes it qualify for OT2.
The game doesn't explain it. I just learned it with Trial and Error as we can see the final crafting spell. As I improved potency, I noticed the spells getting upgraded.
Apparently only available in Easy mode

How necessary is it to do the sidequests. I wanted to do them as they come but most of them are so boring and traveling to and from them takes such a long time. Hunts are fine.
