I just got to chapter two, so I'm wondering what my options should be. I'm liking the game quite a bit, but I also have a smorgasbord of games to chose from. I also kind of want to wait till the 12th, which is when SE is emailing out the Carbuncle Surprise codes and I'll be able to drive around in my CindyMobile.
Unsure of what to do next....

Do not play FFXV as it currently is.
People are in the honeymoon phase still. It's got the same metacritic as FF13 fot a reason, it's actually probably less finished than 13.

What's this about capping?
Don't go past chapter 9ish, get to there and do side stuff if you have to play. But if you've got a backlog, play those games instead and wait for the patch.
I honestly thought people were being hyperbolic about the bad chapter before I played it, but it's really bad. The new cutscenes they're adding seem like they'll really help flesh a certain character out who really needs it too.
Get to level 30

Ugh, you should not have to update a game to complete it. Pretty mad about this game's half-baked state right now.

I'm on chapter 8 and am pretty much good with sidequests for now. I was thinking of just binging the game in the next couple days, to get the main story over with while I was still on a high.
I'll probably still do it but yeah, this did make me second-guess for a bit.

3-5 years.
It's less finished but more fun to play, I guess.
I would say everyone should wait a year and aee how ot goes with the post release support. I finished the game and I honestly can't see ever wanting to replay it, regardless of what they do.
Disagree, don't play it at all for now. The first half of the game is very anemic on story and characterizations (outside of the main party) that might be updated with much-needed cutscenes and scenarios.

I agree, if they add a significant amount of content then release another version later with everything on the disc.

It's by far the longest chapter in the game and the majority of it is all stealth gameplay. Not something people are looking to play when they purchase and RPG.
Compare XV with XIII is like compare Street Fighter 5 with Street Fighter 1.
Both have problems but only one of them is a piece of shit

Noctis and Nomura were robbed of greatness.
I was talking to a friend the other day, and this was actually my long-shot hope. Given the lack of focus on Ravus in the main game, it seems like there would be a lot of room to tell a story focused on him and some of the other secondary characters in the second half.
I bet the inevitable FFXV: Complete in 2018 will end up being a much more satisfying experience, at least with regard to narrative.

It is a 9/10 but without patch, maybe they can make it 10/10Well if it gets patched as hell and if they play the cards right, might as well be a great game in the end, no?
It is just a part of the story where the main character loses combat and is forced to use magic. The forced magic section will last for a while but the rest of the chapter is still too long.

Tbf, where you are in the game, he's doing it for your own safety (usually). Those shits will FUCK YOU UP.
Later on he'll stop saying anything because you're able to take them on.

Wait new game + isn't on the disc? Wow SE...
-Bad art design
-Bad level design
-You can't use the combat mechanics for a good chunk of the level and replaces it with something shitty
-Narrative remains shoddy and a mess
-Blatant things done to stall player
-Heavy emphasis on stealth mechanics
-Extremely boring
-Lasts at minimum 1 hr and can easily run 3 hrs long

Goes to show what a mess this game is story wise and in many other ways .

I'm going to stop playing. I'm in chapter 8. I'll do most side quests until they release these.

Whelp, I should have waited until next year to play XV. Damnit. I was thinking of digging into the post-game stuff after TLG, but I might wait a bit then, and replay the later chapters of the game after the updates come in.
I'm incredibly annoyed and flabbergasted that they even have to do this, and I can't believe it's a reality for a mainline FF game. I suppose it's better than not doing anything at all, though. It does seem a bit ironic since the recent release date delay was so that players could have the most complete and polished version of the game. I'm not sure how it will help the already Frankensteined feel that the game's story has, sigh. They already had trouble inserting the

Avatar creation sounds really silly and out of place.
Everything else sounds interesting, but sort of strange to do now...

It literally looks and plays like a level from Metal Gear Solid.
Lol, it's definitely not "stealth" gameplay. Not the way I played it.
But it is very tedious.
Looks like, yes, plays like, no.
They present it as stealth but that is the worst option to play through it.

Yeah I was going to get the game but not anymore.
Changing/adding/completing the story with patches is a big no no for me.
Oh well. Hopefully they release a GoTY edition with everything on 2 discs.

It's funny seeing some of these comments here because this is not even the first FF that has done this. FFXII was turned from a very solid but un-FF JRPG into a SIGNIFICANTLY improved game with much stronger FF ties (via the job system and removal of 'everyone learns everything' mechanics) and major game play changes (including level caps!) The difference of course is that FFXII International was released as a separate game (and cost quite a bit of money) while these updates for 15 will be free (minus the DLC episodes).
Plus, FFIV was also remade with all new scenes and story changes. And that was a great game as well.

Ah, I see. Stealth is definitely my least favorite thing to encounter is RPGs/action games, so I guess this change is welcome. Thanks for the explanation!
I hope someone logs these scenes and puts them on Youtube.
I don't feel comfy just freezing my progress in the game, because we don't even know when the cutscenes will be added.
I wanted to do everything in the open world before I even started Chapter IX. I'm one dungeon, a few Tours, and a handful of sidequests left from doing that...
