I read somewhere in game that the same enemies you encounter in the wild are much stronger if you encounter them as part of the hunts or other quests.

you read that while the game was loading

Ahh yes I believe you're correct!

Those loading screens take a while

I am still in Chapter 3. Last night I went to Golden Quay and banked 80k experience at double value - jumped from Lvl 35 to Lvl 45. Epic!

Going to go home and progress the story now though. There are still plenty of interesting and challenging battles around, and the hunting contracts can be intense, but I am way overpowered for the main story now.

well I noticed that i have issues even fighting lower level enemies sometimes if they are hunts or main quests... at least i use tons of potions ...not realy way to boost your defense without cooking some food

If I recall correctly Ignis has a few "buffing" techs that can be used (regroup comes to mind) that do something defensive or regenerative for you. That's about it though aside from camping yea.

I'm about 10 hours in now and still can't make up my mind about. Except for XIV i played all games in the serie and loved them all. It sound and looks great, the open world is fine, story kinda interesting (although i done mostly hunts and sidequests so i am sure it will get better). But somehow this battle system is really putting me off. I feel like i'm playing Kingdom Hearts with the wrong characters. Strangly i really enjoy how KH plays, but for FF it just seems wrong.

I miss the turn based fights, having full controle over all characters in my team. The limited way magic is available and used makes me sad. The level-system is lame and the skills feel pretty useless. It almost feels like Final Fantasy for dummies.

I will finish the game for sure, but up till now it's (sadly) about at the bottom of my list when it comes to FF-games.

Yes and no. Think of what that would do to the cost!

I'm in chapter 8, 30 hours of playthrough, and now I find myself enjoying the combat. I don't really know anything about the story yet, and I haven't reached that linear bit. Still, I think I'll probably enjoy more the linear part because, despite what people generally say, I still don't see the point of having such a vast world in this game. I think it might have been more little, so the hunts and side quest would have flown better. Lots of time wasted driving and riding. Which, tbh, strike me as odd in the vast majority of open world AAA games. They feel pointless.

I think the linear part was good ...but i wish you could explore more of the game...in the final chapter....if you gotten that far youll know what i mean.
