There are also some minor bug fixes in the patch, including Ansel fixes (they just released patch notes).

I kinda want to play ep Prompto and Ignis before diving into Chapter 9 so I have whatever gear/attire they get. Yeah, I know there'll be some spoilers, but I'm already partially spoiled on the whole thing.

goddamn is this game demanding. I am only able to run the game at 30 fps with a GTX 970 at 2560x1440 res on low settings.

The new patch fixes the lighting problems with Ansel.

I currently have 3.61 GB worth of Ansel screenshots:

Which could have been with proper lighting if I had waited a bit.

Patch notes:
Additional functions
Content support for Twitch Prime members – Kooky chocobo now available to use in game.
Additional in-game option for switching over the Enter/Cancel buttons.
Additional in-game option for border-less full screen.

Bug fixes
NVIDIA Ansel bug fixes.
AMD Phenom II Processors compatibility fixes – FFXV Windows Edition boot up issues now fixed.
Several minor bug fixes.
Would that fix the action/jump problem, Slaythe ?

I'll give it a try in a bit. If so, it would be crazy if it got fixed so fast on PC, seeing as console users have been begging for something like this for literally a year and half now lmao.

So finished the game
Ardyn story is glossed over no real explanation to what happened to him. Noctis is dead, so all post game content is non canon right? its there any worthwhile post game dungeon, or interaction aka another date with Iris would be good. Otherwise I might play the DLC and just uninstall it.

THEY FIXED THE JUMP GARBAGE ?




NO WAY ????

IS GOD REAL ??????

Not exactly. Rather it allows you to change it to JP settings. So menus now are O to confirm and X to cancel.

So, its almost perfect >.<

edit: but yeah, you won't be jumping when interacting if you use this option. Its just going to feel weird adjusting to confirming w/ O

well that's what I've always wanted. O to confirm and X to cancel have always made more sense to me.

Oh my god

"g-guys look at my 4k screenshots"

"look at my ansel screens dudes !"

Who cares

I wonder if people will now find out that if you hold O around a point of interaction (item, sign, etc), noct will start auto-moving closer to the object and pick it up/interact with it (if set to O to confirm) automatically
This is one of the greatest QoL features og 15 had that people stateside never really were able to take advantage of.

This game is filled with mechanics that could have done with explaining really.

Wait what. Seriously, need to do this.

The post-game content is "canon" in that you're using time travel (kind of) to access it. There is currently no content that takes place after the ending. And the post-game dungeons are a lot of fun. Just expect a heavy focus on gameplay rather than story.

Its something i noticed naturally when playing the judgement disc deno prior to launch, its a real shame most havent had the opportunity to use it.

Its really one of the features i wish was in every game/ rpg

Oh bummer, was expecting some more Iris goodness.
I also saw one of Sunshi gifs with older Noct fighting Aranea in a camp site, how does one access that?

Did Episode Ignis the other day and it was really good.

Now I'm about to do Episode Prompto since I'm at the right spot for the story.

Don't know if I'll go through all of Comrades before the end since that apparently takes a lot longer than the 3 episode DLCs.

When you camp you get the option to "train." Usually it's against your bros but after you get to chapter 15 Aranaea opens up

You did Ignis before Prompto and you are that part in the story for Prompto??

What I mean is I got to the part that Episode Ignis covers so I exited out of the main game and did that. Now I have arrived to the part of the main story that Episode Prompto covers so I'm going to start that up now.

I'm doing everything in chronological order since this is my second playthrough I don't have to worry about the major spoilers in Episode Ignis (don't know if Episode Prompto has any but I'm about to find out).

I wish, teams would clarify what kinds of fixes are classified as minor. If they fixed something that wasn't worth detailing in a changelog then it comes off as if it wasn't important enough to waste effort on fixing over more serious issues.

Anyway, I look forward to getting back into the game tonight and hopefully beating it so I can do the post game stuff like getting the Type-F Regalia, getting the legendary weapons, high level dungeons, etc.

By the way, are the Insomnia City runs an expanded part of the main game map, or are the extra bosses there for post-game?

On another note, I'm a little annoyed at my damage level right now. I'm at level 99 with Ultima Weapon, yet it takes my entire party like 10 minutes to take down a hunt boss with a level in the 60s. Noctis' attack rating is over 1000. I'd thought I'd be able to solo most enemies in the game quickly without even needing my comrades, but that clearly isn't a thing.

Edit: Lastly, does switching the confirm prompt to O fix accidental jumping? If so...YESSSSS!!!!!

Seriously, they better patch this into the console versions too or else there will be hell to pay. They're clearly aware that this is an issue, so they really have no excuse not to!

It also fixes this awful inconsistency :

You now jump with X (ps4) / A (xbox) while using chocobos and the car !

It's only fixed by using the new button layout.

If you have a postgame save, you can fight all of the new Insomnia bosses except Cerberus. The postgame world state is basically the game world as it would be if you had just beaten Cerberus.

Get the skill that limit breaks the damage on link strikes, do them non-stop. They'll be dead in less than a minute.
