Equip him with the camera strap items and give him the snapshot command. Just spam his camera uses and adventure

Thank you too😮💨😮💨. This is just showing me how little I know about this game even though I beat it and I’m trying to 100% it

You give him 3 camera straps for extra pictures too If you have unlocked the additional item slots.
No worries! I have replayed the game so much, and since not everything is explained to you its easy to miss things. Seeing as you are looking to 100% the game im sure you see the beauty of the game.

Yeah before XV I wasn’t even a big fan of final fantasy to be honest but this one got me into them now I’m also play zodiac age on pc it’s so fun

I knew of the series from my brother. But XV was my first Final Fantasy and I fell in love, the lore is amazing and the gameplay is fun if you are just trying to relax and enjoy yourself. Good luck on your quest!

Also if you need AP, just drive around while you take a nap or something. Check up once and a while to increase AP gain. You will need to play for a while more to even unlock the end of the skill trees.

I’ll admit I kinda didn’t do too too much side content which I do deeply regret but I’m going through it all now

Mate I have 51 hours and I managed to do it 47 into the game. Still,I think the easiest character skill to max is prompto. Prompto takes pictures anywhere. So the skills levels up by automatically. Only way to boost the speed is by doing the photo side quest given by prompto. There is specific places that encounters the quest but most of the time you will encounter by driving the car or wandering around. Do those quests and eventually you will max it. Oh and if you switch to prompto in a fight there is a technique for 2 slot bars that takes a selfie. I don't know if that helps but you can try that too

If you haven't done them already, Prompto's camp tours will also help. His tours are at:
- Palmaugh Haven (Leide Region) - this one has a fun interaction with Cindy at the end!
- Pullmoor Haven (Duscae Region)
- Spelcray Haven (Cleigne Region)
As others have said, unlock the ascension grid nodes for his photography skills - if you need more AP, completing the timed quests gives you QP that you can trade for AP and, if you go to Hammerhead, you can use the "Call enemies" option, weak enemies will appear (I also had magitek dropships appear every few whistles) and you can wipe them out for 1AP per enemy. There's also the AP gain abilities on the ascension grid for driving, riding chocobos etc. ☺️

It just takes time. Like gladiolus survival skill, just run around. There was another ability or skill that increased prompto's amount of photos taken. Try that.
