Finally got some time in today.

Pros

  • Okay, the Cup of Noodles Quest was a bit better than I expected, mainly because it felt a bit fourth wall breaking, like the characters seriously seem to be overreacting to Cup of Noodles because they know they are being paid to care.
  • Finally obtained the last two Royal Arms, so I feel much better about finishing the game.
  • After what felt like a lifetime, I finally saw the Leviathan and Shiva summons and they did not disappoint.
  • The final Techs for the party are also quite impressive and powerful enough to justify using up the whole tech bar.
  • I finally discovered the Hunter's HQ.
  • Freya reminded me that there was Chocobo Racing!
  • I saved a baby Black Chocobo!
  • The Samurai monster class is probably my favorite group of enemies in the game.
  • Holy crap an actual dragon!
  • After listening to it more, I really love the soundtrack to Brotherhood.
  • I just unlocked my favorite filter for Prompto's camera, Black & White.


Cons

  • Tried Wait mode finally and can say I'm not impress.
  • I seem to be missing one of the components needed to make the Regalia fly.
  • I also discovered that there are several Tool/Machinery weapons in the game but I seem to have only obtained two of them. Apparently most of Edgar's tools are represented in the game.
  • I've reached my first moment of trying to grind for materials so Cid can upgrade my gear, and it's a bit jarring at the moment so I may save it for post game.
  • Ramuh seriously needs to stop hogging all the Astral glory, I get it man, you always get the shaft in the summon appearance department but would it kill you to let the others show up more often?
  • Is it me, or does the Regalia MP3 player seem to really love the Dissidia OST the most.?
