As you upgrade the fishing skill, it will yield better results when you fish in the form of more AP, more valuable fish, and increased chances of keeping your catch.
Prompto takes and saves pictures of your journey which you can view when you’re resting. As you navigate across the world, you’ll have photo ops where you can stop and take a scenic picture.

As you acquire ingredients from monsters you defeat and merchants across the world, Ignis will devise new dishes. Eating these meals confers benefits such as improving the party’s attack power or increasing their health. The more you cook, the more the skill levels up, unlocking new, more powerful recipes.
