re: Final Fantasy XV Thread

Just beat it.

Oh what a swing and a beautifully hit ball to the warning track.

All I saw was potential that never quite made it over the wall. This wasn't the game it was supposed to be, but made the best out of what it had. It needed more time. I would have waited another couple of years in order to see what could and should have been.

There was so much more potential story wise. My god they had what could have been the best story in the palm of their hands and they let it slip away for whatever reason. While it made sense it was incredibly rushed.

I enjoyed the open world of the game but I would sacrifice it all for the linearity of 13 and a true more detailed storyline, as I believe in its potential that much.

Spoilers:







-The relationship between a father knowing his son is the " Chosen " king and will die(both of them) for the cause should have been built upon more. While the movie showed some insight on Regis it failed to build a most important relationship. Noctis should have witnessed his father death and his sacrifice as he fled the city under protection from his bros.

-Luna. They should have either done away with her all together or have built upon that relationship as well. For fricks sake....if you want to have a love interest then my god show the love. I understand it is a bros tale and they are your party memebers and there is no real way to build that relationship via constant interaction....just scratch her all together or give her Cindy's screen time.

-Ardyn by far got screwed. I'm getting rustled at all the potential he had. I enjoyed every moment of his and deserved so much more development. What a waste of a great character. You mean your nemesis...an immortal that was supposed to be the chosen one...the one you are replacing....the puppet master of everything that has gone wrong...and the one with the most swagger....oh and a Lucis...gets 20mins of screen time? Would have loved a chapter in between those 10 years without Noctis just to see some of the events with him at the helm.

-Prompto.....that reveal was so weak it should have never been put in the fricking game. You fricking kidding me. Laughable. That is something we should have known early in the game and something we should have been looking forward to him revealing. Kinda of like riku being an al bed and you know wakka ain't about that shite but it would have been much more meaningful. They may touch on it more with the DLC but meh at this point.

-What an anti climatic ending. Could have been way more feels that what we got. The reunion was weak and everything after was weak. The bond felt non existent after ignis told them to get their shite together. Probably because everything was so rushed after that.












End spoilers:

With that said. I still enjoyed the game. I saw a vision that just never fully became a reality for XV. It still felt incomplete. I feel like they ran out of time and they tried to plug some gaps with a movie and anime. The flow of everything just didn't feel right.
