Yeah I did...Does it have any other significance apart from the

Certificate

I am really pissed off with the flying car. They managing to make flying around the world so epic, yet landing it is so hard, i can't actually be bothered to fly the car. Fucking waste.

 

[ChingleeTribal]

Well apart from the certificate

Spoiler

it shows Noctis picking up the photo you chose from his throne when he and Luna are depicted in the 'afterlife'. It would completey wreck the moment if say you chose a picture of Cindy xD

Yeh it sucks.

Spoiler

I only flew it for a few seconds as I decided to not go back to the game anyway after completing the game as overall it left a bad taste in my mouth

Re: The car

Spoiler

I was lucky enough to already have an idea about it so I wasn't disappointed, but I promise you, landing is NOT that hard once you get the hang of it. The car still isn't super practical because it'll almost always be faster to just to fast travel, or easier to just let Ignis drive.

But, landing it is actually totally safe and not hard at all. I actually tend to fly right above the roads anyway, just because it feels like it's super fast that way. But, once you're at a low enough elevation to the road, it tries to follow the road for you anyway. All you need to do at that point is hit X and kinda keep it in line for a few seconds. I crashed it the first time, and only because I waited too long to hit X, but It's never been close to dangerous since.

To clarify, I had no problems wit controlling and landing the car. Just founding it underwhelming so didn't bother with it as well as the post game stuff

Travel Pack cuts in half the cost of hotels/lodgings and gas

Gourmand Set gives you one unlimited and OP recipe

Camera Kit adds another camera model that you can equip on the Archives menu

Invaluable for the 3.0x EXP multiplier for the most expensive hotel in the game.

Awesome. Thanks you guys

Anyone been in the Pitioss Ruins yet? Jesus it's a tough one.

Yeah the ending is still staying with me long after I finished the game.

Gonna replay it once they release the NG+. The journey won't be the same I'll tell you that much

Posted in news thread but it looks like the second half is getting a major update.

 

[Bionicle8563]

Well hey, that's really good news that they are still listening to feedback, and aren't ashamed to fixing the issues present. I know it would've been better if it was all g at the time it came out, but its still great.

 

[Jubileus]

Omg guys great news!!

Tabata and team are gonna be expanding the story on the second half as well as adding in more updates to the game as an appreciation effort for shipping 5 millions copies!!

So happy.

If you're anything like me, that'll change. I used them for beatdowns of vulnerable enemies. (Looking at you, "baby.") I ended up playing a counter-attacking strategy, with Ignis' Regroup ability when I needed to soften up a mob with magic.

I'm constantly amazed by the strategy needed for some of the hunts and optional dungeons, even those at lower recommended levels.

I actually just played this morning a bit before college, and I stopped using the fire-imbued broadsword (don't know how it's called in the English localization) so much as I got the definitive (I think?) version of that upgradable spear. Still use the broadsword in a crowd-control manner.

Still haven't really even looked beyond the initial companion skills, as I have mostly spent my AP in Noctis' exclusive abilities tbh (I've got the Airdance shit maxed already).

Also, I'm already in Duscae, and I'm not kidding when I say that this looks like an entirely different game: Leide was technically poor, boringly designed and not at all appealing art-wise; Duscae looks gorgeous, it's full of events, animals, monsters, NPCs and landmarks. The forests make it look bigger and more alive, and so do the differences in terrain height. And I haven't even explored anything beyond the gas station, the Chocobo farm and Deadeye's hunt (I feel terrible about this poor guy. Poor animals in this game I swear).

Oh, and just got my Chocobo (Choco, in honour to my beautiful bird in FFIX). It's fast and responsive, so everything's alright.

 

[Jubileus]

Hurting innocent Garulas makes me feel guilty.

They're quite adorable. They're like fluffy mini elephants.

Same goes for the Anaks. They're either grazing or sleeping and I roll in and butcher them all.

So yes poor animals in this game indeed xD

 

[Bionicle8563]

I think I got Prompto to say something like "Aren't we one of the good guys" when I warp killed a Garulet. I feel super bad about killing them now.

 

[ChingleeTribal]

Damn, wish those 'updates' were in the base game. I lost motivation completely to go back to the game after completing it but now I feel the urge to go back with the news of them adding some meat to the main scenario.

 

[Tornak]

It's the fact that they don't attack you unless you initiate the battle

And I felt pretty bad about Deadeye too. Poor dude just wanted to live quietly and all of the sudden a group of rich snobs from a foreign city start blasting fire on his ass.
