Here's the proof that I did actually get the Black Hood, and it wasn't all some terrible nightmare.
I asked already....but can we please have a dedicated FFXV gif thread? The game (and the diligent gifers) totally deserve it.
SunhiL's gifs also have to be preserved for the ages in one place.
We just need a new thread for Sunhi's gifs (I know he has one already) but his are too good to not give another one. I propose:
_________ OT2 | Sunhi's Legend
The hard part comes after that upgrade. You'll need to get a sturdy helixhorn if you wanna upgrade it further. Good luck with that (its a rare drop)
Finished the game today.
- Finished main story.
- All side quests.
- All Menace dungeons.
- Ascension grids completed.
- Killed the turtle.
- Conpleted the secret dungeon (took me about 4-5 hours with YouTube video, probably the most challenging thing in the game).
- Platinum trophy.
Things that I didn't do:
- Only at level 6 Hunt.
- Grind for V2 (but I do have every other items from the game including 4 ribbons).
I really wish the main story is longer. The over all contents is worth the $60, but he main story and world map is really a big let down. I can't wait for the DLC though, hopefully they expand the world map at least 1/2 of the current exploitable map.
Edit: it's also very depressing that after you got all the best items in the game, there's not a challenging boss left in the game.
You weren't kidding. I've been farming for 2 hours and no luck so far.
Seriously, get the drop rate food (mother and child curry?), save, use a heavy weapon like the ace of the conqueror while targeting the head. Should be a 10 minute process.

Damn, did you have to redo the entire dungeon? I almost finished it, but then made some weird fall where I got respawned somewhere in the beginning instead of the checkpoint I was at, and I just have no idea how to get back to where I was. Read up on the Black Hood, figured it just wasn't worth it anymore (after 3-4 hours of that dungeon), and just got out of there. Did get a bunch of other items, good enough for me.
Too much praise for the dungeon, I think. It has some cool moments, but it would've been better if they put some of the stuff in other dungeons instead of this gauntlet that never stops. Let's not even talk about the controls

What is everyone's opinion of the post game? I just finished the main story last night, and I'm debating whether to continue on with post-game content or move on to another game.
Generally with a FF game it would be a no-brainer and I'd finish most or all of the post game content, but I have so many other games on my plate I'm wondering if I should just move on and maybe come back to it another time.
How to use MP3 player while riding a Chocobo:
I didn't think I'd be too bothered about being forced to listen to the Chocobo Theme while riding our furry friends but at chapter 5 I feel like it really detracts from the atmosphere. To that end I used the trick somebody posted on here (Hold L2, press Up, and X together when mounting) to use the mp3 player and it worked out amazingly well. Obviously I couldn't switch tracks but it's still a huge improvement. It's a shame SE didn't implement this in a way that's by design.

Also apparently Ardyn comments on how Aeris' Theme is his favorite song when you play it during chapter 13, lol.

Shouldn't there be an auto-save after the battle?FUCK EVERYTHING

I actually have been enjoying it a lot and there is A LOT of post game content. You can easily reach 200 hours of gameplay. I got the game guide now and as a completionist it is a heaven sent. There is so much stuff, like whole dungeons and extra cutscenes and conversations, that I would have totally missed. That would have been a shame. Especially since the main story felt very rushed in parts. The open world exploration and questing is for me the best part of the game and what saved it from being a disappointment.

Beat it yesterday. Overall I enjoyed the game, but one of the things that left a sour taste in my mouth was that you couldn't explore the World of Ruin once you got to hammerhead. I wonder if that will be made possible as a a future update or as some kind of DLC.
Thanks for that. Maybe I'll check it out then. But where do you actually "start" with the post game content. Are you given any sort of direction or do you just kind of stumble across what to do?
The camera is the real enemy. I think I'm just gonna look up a guide that'll let me kill it in 10min.Wow. The turtle fight is one of the worst most boring time consuming fight I've ever done in my entire life. When I was done with that abomination, I was so afraid of crashes I walked the entire way back. I can't even imagine how frustrated I would be If I'd have to fight that guy over again.
Nope, loaded the autosave to Hammerheard before I accepted the hunt.Shouldn't there be an auto-save after the battle?
I can feel yaI accidentally warped out of my fight last night with an 1/16th of his health left.

Have you seen the comments from the game's Co-Character Designer, Roberto Ferrari, which lent credibility to the leaks (though they sounded pretty plausible, anyway)?also.. people done disussing that redditor talking about the development of the game? if true, its a shame that so much got cut. Specially the env piece for the Shiva memorial. Wish Tabata was at the helm of this from the very beginning.

Right, there are two you get as quest rewards and then the other two need to be bought with those coins in Altissia (but the game doesn't easily give you many more Oracle Ascension Coins than the first 40 you need to buy the first of two ribbons).I earned two and bought two.

This annoyed the hell out of me as well. Here is the solution:
1) You should already have it, but if not - get the AP option that makes appendages break with a warp strike.
2) Take the [Old Lestallum?] quest [for spiracorns/dualacorns] and camp nearest to the quest area and use the chicken an egg rice meal to get the 50% drop rate boost (if you don't have this, I think one of the vendors in Lestallum also cooks it anyways).
3) Go to quest area and save a new slot just outside of the yellow zone (this is so you can replay easily if you don't get it).
4) Fight the enemies - you can either clear out the spiracorns and save the dualcorns or focus on the dualcorns as they are they important ones for getting Sturdy Helixhorn.
5) Hold the targeting button and use the right stick to make sure you are targeting a dualcorn's horn for your attacks.
6) Warp strike the horns religiously. Don't bother with other attacks - use the warp points liberally to restore MP.
7) Reload save until you get it - but points 5+6 are the key. Feel no guilt in this method because fuck that drop rate man...
You can farm them to a certain extent. One of the cactuars drops them. There's a spawn point NW of hammer head which can spawn one of two types. It's pretty easy to get one to spawn every morning or during dusk. I've seen the type that drops Ascension coins more so you have at least a 50% chance of getting one each in game day. Just rest till the next day after killing one. Good source of xp too if you don't have rare coins.Right, there are two you get as quest rewards and then the other two need to be bought with those coins in Altissia (but the game doesn't easily give you many more Oracle Ascension Coins than the first 40 you need to buy the first of two ribbons).
I did this for 3 hours. And I couldn't get the horn. I gave up and decided I would much rather fight the leukorns. So that's what I did, leveled my rank all the way up to 7 and got the basically guaranteed helixhorn
And also altissia cause man seeing how huge the map is and the fact that you can only explore a fraction of it made me sad lol.
Altissia was my biggest disappointmnet in the entire game. It is actually crazy what they made of Altissia. It's almost as if they are taunting us with how measly it turned out to be. They promised us this huge city that even the developers would get lost in. They literally said that:
"Tomonori continues to say that the city is so huge that even the people working on the game find themselves lost in the place sometimes."

The blue area is however all we ever get to explore of the city:
That's more than enough for me.
Anything else would've been big for the sake of big. We already got plenty of stores, a hotel, a bar and beautiful vistas.
Hell, people are already complaining about the layout being "too confusing" (lol). Imagine if they made it bigger.
The size wasn't the problem, it was the verticality and bad layout that made what little we have already confusing.
