I've been leveling up on the Cactuars near Hammerhead, got up to level 20 so far.
I like how you can play soundtracks from the older FF games while you drive.

Chapter 15 question: {Spoiler}I'm on the final boss and I have no items. Can I go back to buy some or am I screwed?

This game has really shitty pacing. I still like it overall but open world was an awful decision that doesn't feel like it adds a damn thing, and I'm not into how pointless the car has been up to this point either. I only have four hours in but it's been far from the best four hours. I'm also thinking of just skipping every side quests because it's just fetch quests, though I don't know how much that will hamper me.

First FF game in ages that I can say I actually enjoy every member of a party and think they work well together.

A really stupid question but what do you actually get from leveling up?
My hp barely goes up. Is it more for strength, defence etc...?

Awww just triggered a really sweet scene between Prompto and Noctis at one of the petrol station caravans.
Was excellent and really made me feel for Prompto.

Apparently I'm on the final chapter. Does anyone else think the game is kinda short?
I've only got a handful of side quests left to do and one dungeon to explore.

How much older are we talking about? 2D era or can I have "Man With the Machine Gun" and "Otherworld" blaring, causing me to do nothing but drive in circles with the car because I can't get enough of them?

All of them. You buy them from garage shops. I've been driving about playing stuff from VII snd VIII all weekend!

Explored them all except for one, unless there's one I've missed somewhere. Just realised, I'm on chapter 13, not 15. Some of the chapters are really short btw. The first few chapters take a long time to complete but towards the end stage a few take 30 minutes - an hour tops. I'm taking a break from the main story to clear up the remaining sidequests I've got and clear out the one remaining dungeon. Edit: Just remembered I've got 2 dungeons to complete. I never actually got round to fully completing the mines.

Yeah, I did quite a few sidequests and hunts, and I'm about to complete the game at 25 hours.

I'm at level 23 and just started Chapter 2, would you say that I'm prepared for the upcoming chapters or does the difficulty ramp up in later chapters? I'm still trying to figure out magic usage and flasks, still not getting the hang of it as I usually brute force my way through battles.

Well, I was only level 40 when I beat the last boss, so you should be fine.

Just completed the game. I enjoyed it a lot. A few things I didn't like (minor spoilers) {Spoiler}We don't find out where Gladio went when he disappeared for a chapter and emerged again with a new, badass scar. {Spoiler}The "romance" with Iris never really went anywhere. You could be nice to her on your "date", have Gladio badger you into giving her some flowers etc but there wasn't really an end to that little subplot. {Spoiler}A few parts of the game could have been dealt with better and had more detail. Namely Lord Ravus' face turn and more on Aranea Highwind and her choosing to leave the Empire.
It was explained why she wanted to leave, but I think could have been handled more and given more detail. Overall though, I found it to be an excellent game. The ending was great {Spoiler}especially the post credit scene with the guys at camp. Although, I did smile a bit when I realised you could destroy the emotion of the very last post-credit scene by picking a stupid photograph like the one of the Cup of Noodles.

I really liked {Spoiler}Ardyn. Best FF villain since Kuja, in my opinion.

I really liked {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Ardyn. Best FF villain since Kuja, in my opinion. Same here {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}They swerved me. I thought Ravus was going to be the main villain and Ardyn was going to be a Professor Snape type slimeball who is actually working for the good guys, what with him helping Noct and the group out a few times at the early stages.
When he stabbed Luna it was a proper shocking moment for me.
He was a cracking villain. I also really liked {Spoiler}Aranea Highwind. She was a great character, reminded me of Beatrix from FF9
Wish she had a bigger role in the game really.
