And you've tried resting at hotels or in RVs as well as just regular camping?
Finally cleared Costlemark dungeon. I had to do the room with the 3 red giants + snake lady again but then figured out the correct path and made it to the boss, where Ramuh basically one-shotted it for me lol.
Then I got armiger unleashed, which I am about to unleash on some hunt bosses :)

Heh, I'm Level 32 and haven't even visited Lestallum in chapter 3... :P
Which quest are you doing? The Drain Lance one, I'm guessing? Or did you hand in multiple upgrade materials at once? I've heard that can bug Cid out sometimes. Maybe just progress the plot a little bit.
Well after spending a whole day trying to get the game to work on my PC I finally got it running sort of, even with most settings at low it still looks good. Tthere's a lot of freezing and stutters going on, I'm not going to touch the mod as of yet as that messed everything up before and I couldn't use Ansel, had to re-download the whole game. But for now it's okay and I can at least run around and take pictures, the Ansel tool is really nice, shame it gets rid of the post process effects though, not sure how to fix that, for example the bloom when fighting Ifrit is gone when Ansel loads up, same with the AA if not downsampling. But anyway, looking forward to an eventual PC upgrade later this year but for now at least I can take some pics. :)
Bunch of PC Ansel shots from around the forum. They're all resized down to 1080p and chucked on imgur - (Sorry, I'm aware of the quality hit on both of these; just wanted an ez link to showcase some PC IQ that's also mobile-friendly. I'm so bad and lazy I forgot to even make note of who took each screenshot so feel free to send me hate mail (they're mostly from this and the general PC screenshot thread))
edit: There's a few really good dungeon/late-game ones that I omitted because spoilers, etc. Stuck to locations heavily shown in trailers, etc.
yeah i'm aware square enix trailers spoil everything lol

I have 4 ongoing at the moment.
A Better Engine Blade II, Auto Crossbow, Bioblaster, and Circular Saw.
You gave Cid the ingredients for all four of those at once? I've heard that Cid can bug out if you give him multiple weapons to upgrade at once. Try going back and talking to him once, then go back and do a few hunts (two or three), then rest at the RV at Hammerhead.
It took me a really long time to get him to finish the Drain Lance II upgrade, but just doing hunts and resting eventually fixed it.
Well I just got to Chapter 4, so I'm hoping maybe will reset it.
Awesome news! Ansel has been really cool but also pretty unpredictable to use. During the Ifrit fight, the shots wool look pixelated and lack post-processing effects before capture but then would look fine in the saved picture.Well after spending a whole day trying to get the game to work on my PC I finally got it running sort of, even with most settings at low it still looks good.

Other times it would give me these weird tiles that didn't show in-game and ruin some shots.
Yay. Got Ultima Blade right before

going to Altissia
I am a sucker for post-game dungeons and superbosses. This sounds great!

I'm glad you enjoy our shots from the thread! Game is beautiful, technically and also regarding the artstyle.
Well, I'd like to look at it this way: there's as much open world stuff as you could possibly want, and there are also quality narrative-driven chapters on top of that. It's the best of two worlds, really. This game is the closest thing to the fabled "complete package" I have ever seen, which is ironic given the criticism it's been getting. Then again, it has come a long long way since launch. In its current state, though, I can't find anything missing.
Love your shots in this thread Ishiro
While Ansel is great there should be a photomode built into the game itself, but with PC though hopefully someone creates a freecam mod, one where you can pause the action as well so at least there's some kind of photomode in there.
Great shots.
Wish AMD had an Ansel equivalent. All I got are some in-game ones at 720p.

game looks so damn good, i wish i have a computer from the future that could play this at 4k/60fps :V
Ouch indeed!
BTW, is there a way to show all mission locations on the map at the same time?
Hehehe, you guys are in for a surprise: there's a very special post-game dungeon that I hope you didn't spoiler yourself on yet. After you beat the game you can get an upgrade for you car to fly, that way you can reach the dungeon. Here's a guide to reach it; don't watch anything on the dungeon itself, I want you to be suprised :D
FFXV Regalia secret dungeon Pitioss entrance
You'll first have to unlock the Regalia Type-F. Once that is done, go to the Verinas Mart outpost in Ravatogh, near the giant volcano in the south-western corner of the map. Take off in the flying car, and head to the tiny landing strip in the north. It's marked with a yellow line on your map. Save your progress before you begin – if you mess up the landing, you'll have to load the game.
You'll need to slow down as much as possible. Keep a low altitude and hold L2/LT all the time. As soon as you're past the cliff, dive and press X/A immediately. After you land, follow the path to the north. The dungeon entrance is in a building on the hill on the right – you've probably seen it while flying. There are a bunch of strong enemies here, like a lvl 62 Royalisk and a lvl 85 Malbodoom. You don't have to fight them if you're not in the mood – just run past them.
FFXV Pitioss Secret Dungeon entrance seen in the distance
Climb the stairs, then jump across the gap. The rest of your team will have to stay behind. Only Noctis is allowed inside. Jump through the hole in the fence and press the giant, glowing button on the wall. A lift will take you down into the dungeon.
WARNING: SAVE MANUALLY AS SOON AS YOU BEAT THE DUNGEON AND EXITED BEFORE YOU TRY FLYING BACK OUT OF THE SECRET AREA!!! IF YOU DON'T AND CRASH YOUR CAR TRYING TO FLY OUT OF THERE YOU'LL GET A GAME OVER AND WILL LOSE THE LAST 3-4 HOURS OF PROGRESS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAVE AUTOMATICALLY IN THE DUNGEON!!!
Yeah, freecam would be great. Would like to the adjust time of day too.

Agreed, I love that car so much. It's a monster while still looking elegant.
Yes, at least in Xenogears the story is good and interesting. Here, otherwise...Very bad written game, whoever wrote it, I expect doesnt get power in the next entry.
Ask and...
I mean if anything, I wish there was a record/playback feature that then allowed you to rerun it at 0.25x or whatever for high-FPS footage capture, but that's the old-school CoD junkie in me speaking.
Damn. That's bad.
Guess he didn't realize how much mileage they could get out of scanning his face.
Hard to believe he got shafted that hard though, square was clearly throwing money at Kingsglaive.
Man, i just dont understand at all where this comes from....All the best potential in FFXV was shown in the last half of the game.
The set pieces, the use of immersion, the music...it's the "Final Fantasy" half of the game lol
If the game started with that kind of content I think the reception would have been much, much better.
What's your favorite FF? I'm willing to bet the same writer had a lot "power" in it too.
I saw that yellow line next to the volcano and think there has to be something. I am glad it turns out that it does! Thanks for the advice and I will refer to your post after beating the game.
ch14 is a good time to start the dlcs right? thought i should do them before the final chapter
Nah, at this point just finish the game and do dlcs, considering Episode Ignis should be played later.
Save episode Ignis until after you have finished,it has ending spoilers
The visual variety is actually incredible. Busy cities, huge barren landscapes, dense forrests, lovely rivers, ice caves, old ruins etc. I've not even finished half of the game and I'm impressed how huge and varied the environments are. Really like the soundtrack as well.
Due to personal circumstances, I won't be able to play the game for at least 1.5 months, more likely 2 months (move to another city, starting a new job, living at our parents house, then move to our own house etc.). Sucks, because I'm really into the game. But hey, I see everything positively: I Hope there will be some good mods when I'll jump back in.

Its IX, but even if Nojima is stated as the writter, I cannot notice his influence or his writting in this one. Maybe he stablished the world and the bases, but the main problem is that is so bad written and directed that it doenst feel like a compacted story. The dialogues are truly awfuls and Noctis personality is different in every scene. In the others Final Fantasy every was build organically, here every scene is disconnected from the previous one and to the next one.
Pre-release in 2016, Square Enix weren't showing off most of the game. Story cutscenes were rarely shown, with CG footage chosen instead. They only showed a few dungeons during trade shows, like the Marlboro Thickett dungeon or the cave with the high level Ronin.
It is such a joy, then, to load up to the game and see all these varied and gorgeous locations, dungeons, and environments. It was one of the best surprises about FFXV and I'm glad you got to experience this first hand too!
First thing I had a look for was if there was a trainer that had a slow motion option xD, most games I play on the PC such as Nier and Metal Gear Rising I play at half speed, it looks cool but also means I can speed it up later and have a consistent smooth framerate. Cheat Engine also has a speedhack option built in now which means I can do the same for FFXV, I'll probably end up playing most the game in slow motion. :D
i just finished the gladiolus one lol, it wasn't long and it's only an hour, i might just do the promptus one and leave ignis for later
Gladio's is the shortest, while Prompto and Ignis' DLCs are much longer with full game spoilers. At this point you're fine to play Prompto's but Ignis' outright has cutscenes from the ending in it. It's better for you to play it after you beat the game.
Prompto in theory is much longer than Gladio, considering there's a small open-world with one optional boss and some sides.
But sides are just the usual garbage you find in the main game, so skip all of them and just do the optional boss.
I'm glad you like it and it sucks you can't play... but busy cities? Where? When?
You must love FFX-2.5 written by the Tensai Kazushige Nojima.
So, what's the general opinion on the PC port? Does it run smoothly? How are load times, as bad as console? And, does it include all the extra episodes.
I beat the game already on PS4, but there was still a bunch of things left to do that I kinda gave up on for various reasons.
