Best FF villain since Kuja, in my opinion. Well, the competition is whoever you think the villain was in X (probably Seymour, since he was the de facto evil guy in the whole thing... even if he played 2nd banana to Jecht/Sin and then Yu Yevon because why the hell not, this is FF we can pull a final boss out of our asses any time we want), someone bland and forgetful in XII (because everyone sans Han Solo and The Lady Ashe Leia is bland as heck in that game), whoever in XIII, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns (they are so good that they never come up in conversations about the game! (I've played like 3 hours of XIII, nothing of the others)), no one played Type-0 and nobody takes the online and side games seriously... yeah, not much competition when one thinks about it. It could be the return of ExDeath and it would still be better than the last few main villains, IMO.

So I gave in and bought the game. If someone could come up with a solution to the patch problem, I'd really appreciate it. Well I didn't get any help from this thread, but after much frustration, I managed to download the patch, and I had to reluctantly sign up to the PlayStation Network to do it...whatever, it's done now, and I can actually start playing the game.

Just barely got by one of the night battles, it was a Level 30 Coeurl and killed my guys a few times with its Blaster attack, annoying but the EXP was worth it.

After hearing the plans for them to roll out patches to fix the story and everything, apparently, I'm putting the game on hold to let them do what they want. I just hope it doesn't take too long because I was planning to spend some time with this over winter break.

I absolutely love this game but goddammit I hate those imperial dropships.
The encounter rate is ridiculous.
Oh, you want to explore? Nah forget that, here's a dropship full of enemies.
What's that, you're half way through a tough fight? Here's some imperials.
Seriously, I got 4 dropships in a row with about 15 seconds between each battle. And one of them dropped a level 76 mech.
I'm only on chapter 3 so I hope the they become less frequent later on but man it is frustrating.

The Imperials never seem to stop coming, but they only come in some map areas, mainly in the east. They may spread as you discover more, but when I was in the West earlier, no drop ships.
I'm now 45 hours in, level 57 and have just received Titan's Blessing. As I've levelled up, I've found the combat has become much better, and Wait Mode is definitely a must for harder fights.

I will be getting this after the holiday mayhem has passed. I'm not looking forward to the patch that replaces everyone with Lightning though...

I'm on Chapter 13... About how much game is left? It feels like I'm starting to get close to the end.
I've liked the game a lot, but it doesn't feel like the epic quest I expected.

Well it looks like I'll have to reluctantly stop playing the game... Basically, I was doing nothing but sidequests and hunts for a while and I was getting sick of doing them, and I wanted to progress with the story. So I did, and I was really enjoying it until I got a seemingly game breaking bug, despite the fact that I downloaded the patch. I Googled it and found this forum thread about it, in which other people are having the exact problem I have, SPOILERS obviously: linkI REALLY don't want to have to start the game over again, as I've put far too much time into it...

Fxxx Chapter 13.
I can't get by the Rouge Axman. I can't kill him. I can't outrun him. I can't hide from him. I can't go through doors.
I can't advance. I'm just about done here.
Someone tell me I'm missing something simple?

Holy **** it was that simple. In my frustration I was convinced if the axman attacked me I would get spell-broke, but Noct keeps casting Holy until he gets KO'd. Good stuff, and now I'm breezing through it! Thanks bro!

Good stuff, and now I'm breezing through it! Thanks bro! No worries. It was a pain for me too. Took me ages to figure out how to do it. At first I couldn't cast Holy no matter what I tried until I finally cottoned on that I needed full MP to do it.

A few questions... (Obvious spoilers ahead) Was I {Spoiler} supposed to feel anything when Ravus died? The guy was in all of 3 scenes all game long. I met his death with a half-hearted shrug.
Another question. Why was the mercenary trying to kill me one minute, then the next minute she's guiding me through a temple to get my mythril? Did I miss something there?

Ok, this is the mission I'm currently on. It seems that I just shouldn't fast travel out, and should walk or drive out to avoid this?

The mercenary one I felt she only guided you because Ardyn asked her too and she followed his orders and grew to gradually like the team as they explored the temple. But yeah, that and her eventual face turn also could have done with a few more cutscenes.
Another one that bugged me, after she drops you off you just randomly appear outside the power station wearing a protective suit with no cutscene to explain wtf is actually going on. How did the demons get into the power planet? Who is the woman you're agreeing to help?
Also the main one, when Gladio disappears... where does he go and where does he get his scar?
At times the story did feel really disjointed.
