some of these sidequests have been outstanding

Even though from a gameplay perspective you do almost nothing the one that really stands out to me is the one where the father asks you to save his son from a wolf

and similarly in the same area finding the little girl's missing "friend"

I am not sure I can endure this game much longer due to the incredibly high pitched buzz that happens while Jill is in the party. Why would they do this? I've had her with me for ten minutes and I'm getting a headache.

Haven't noticed that but now that I'm aware we'll see if I hear it now.

Biggest complaint for me is not having a minimap. And the issue isn't which direction to go, it's making sure I explore the wide open areas all the way.

So yeah I think I'm gonna stick with better graphics while locked in at 30 FPS. I mean the difference is noticeable but all it seems more stable? And I've got a 4k TV now so may as well take advantage.

I just got through trying everything. High volume, medium volume, headphones, soundbar, speakers, open combat areas in and out of combat, towns, the works. Absolutely no buzzing sound coming from her whatsoever.

Really sounds like this is either a widespread bug or is only affecting certain models. Alternatively, some audio setting causing the issue?

There is a likelier chance that you just can't hear it due to the high frequency. It very much seems to be a deliberate part of the sound design, specifically the metal parts of Jill's costume rubbing together as she moves.

OK, I think I hear the Jill squeak. I guess I can see how that could be bothersome for some. I never would've heard it if not for it being mentioned here though.

I still don't want future FF games to play like this. However, this game has pretty much crapped all over Kingdom Hearts. Like this is exactly how I want KH games to play going forward and there is zero chance of KH4 or any future game coming close to this. It's almost a bit sad.

Some story discussion:
The return to Phoenix Gate felt a bit meh to me. I thought Clive had already kind of accepted the truth of what happened, so it just felt a bit too stretched out for my taste.

Not as far in as that (about 7 hours in, a couple hours after the much-maligned high-pitched noise is introduced):

the return to Phoenix Gate and the ruins and everything has took the game up a notch for me. "accept the truth" was a dope limit break prompt, I like Clive

Am i doing something wrong? There dont seem to be very many combos that i can figure out. I get that you can mix up square and triangle, but it doesnt seem to make much difference. You can launch enemies with Torgal, and dash up to them and hit them in the air, but it doesnt seem to get much deeper than that. Im doing the stuff with the dame so i have garuda and ifrit

Compared to 7-8 hours into bayonetta or dmc5 or nier automata or something, the combos just arent really there. It feels really repetitive and button mashy

Gouge is one of my go-tos. You can keep it going for a while by hitting the button. You grapple-knockdown some things at partial stagger and Gouge will take them into full stagger on its own.

Gouge (and Garuda in general) is great for eating through the stagger gauge, you don't use it for damage. So it's bad against regular enemies but very good against bigger ones. Garuda remains your best source of easy staggering for a good while. I eventually dropped her for Titan because I just find countering so satisfying to use. Once I had that down, plus prodigious use of Will o' the Wykes, the extra damage was worth the drop in stagger.

Yeah, later on with additional staggering abilities, you can do the 50% takedown with garuda's snatch, use those abilities to get it down to like 30%, then Gouge can shred it to full stagger AND keep going into the stagger window to build the multiplier.

I think one issue with how complex the game feels is that you have to unlock the early counter moves, and the stat screen makes them appear weaker than the moves you start with until you read on and realize they work as counters. The game started feeling a lot better once I had these unlocked, but the limit of two moves for Eikon initially had me hesitant to explore the alternative options.

I'm at a point with enough eikons and abalities in the game that being able save "gear/move sets" would have been awesome. Like have an aoe focused set, a set for bosses, a set for more countering, and being able to switch between them.

The lock on mechanics is bothering me a bit, because switching it always seem to go to a set next enemy. This is not usually a problem but occasionally there's a spellcaster or healer you want to deal with first and they're always last in that line of enemies you lock on to.
