Good:

Good:
>Character banter and interactions
This was my favorite part of the game. I absouletely love how they really act like friends. Plus I love how Prompto cracks so many meta jokes (like giving the Chocobo Theme lyrics, singing the FF victory fanfare etc..)
>Immersion/Atmosphere
The game is comfy as fuck and I love how you can be so immersed in the world. Plus I love the little touches like when it's raining and your characters clothes get wet, they actually sneezed. This completely blew my fucking mind
>Dub is excellent
Ardyn stands out. His voice acting is god like.
>Crazy amount of sidequests
There is so much to fucking do. It can even be overwhelming at times
>Music
It's Yoko Shimomura. Enough said

Bad:
>Pacing
The games biggest flaw. Holy shit the plot goes from nothing to hitting you in the face with no time to react. The second half of the game is the biggest mistake ever made in a Final Fantasy game. Fuck what were they thinking?
>Short Story
Can be completed in 25 hours which is bad for a Final Fantasy game
>Too much DLC/Cut content
Self explanatory.
>Summons
The summons are just straight up bad this time around

Mixed:
>Combat
While it is fun, the magic system almost completely ruins it. Throwing magic like grenades was an awful idea because your party always get in the fucking way or they seems to throw it right next to you and you get fucked up
>Graphics
Sometime the game looks truly next gen. And some other times the game looks like a PS3 game. It's very inconsistent
>Ending
It would have been the most emotional and greatest ending to a Final Fantasy game but it was so rushed beyond belief and the game gave you no time to get invested with the characters. I was left feeling empty. It's a great concept of an ending but it executed badly

Overall, 7.5/10. It's not the biggest blunder of all time nor is it worth the ten year hype but it is fun. Honestly believe most of the shitposting is coming from those who haven't played it

You're being too kind to the combat, it's way too shallow.
Agree on pretty much everything else.

Pretty damn spot on .

I thought it was fun. Simple yet addicting

Why is Prompto the best boy?

>fun

>those outfits aren't in the game
fuck tabata

Yes?

The biggest fucking missed opportunity right hede

subjectivity does not belong in reviews

>character designs and banter

Sounds like a 12 year old's idea of cool, twinky version of cloud (who was already a twink) is annoying specifically

>immersion
Character can't walk slightly up hill sometimes without a stamina bar QTE

>music
pretty good, but would have been better with Uematsu-sensei I bet.

>don't say a game is fun when it's actually fun

>"Dude, are you seriously trying to kill me?"

>Mynbrum Haven
Goddamn the comfy level went up to 100% I love how tranquil the area is

>not understanding the difference between subjectivity and objectivity

Best FF character since Auron

>extra twinky version of cloud
I don't see the problem

is Prompto the pic related of FFXV?

No because Nep is always on top. No one can keep up with her. Prompto is an insecure twink who tags along.

He really shouldn't take selfies though. His face looks malformed up close.

Fishing is way more addicting than it should br

Are the places where you can use a summon always predetermined?

>This was my favorite part of the game
They repeat themselves. It's usually something gay. My favorite is when they talk about sharing a room together. Totally hetero right there....

The atmosphere thing is funny. Like when you clear up the rain, it basically makes the area into the same generic rain forest you've already been in. But then again, there are only so many biodomes you can make.

Sidequests are all fetch quests or kill X enemy quests.

I agree with your 7.5/10 rating though. The combat holds the game back.

Him spilling his guts out at the motel basically unprompted was so fucking weird and badly written.

>>Dub is excellent

>being a weeb
Noctis HUWAH in the Japanese version makes me cringe harder than any dub line in this game . And Prompto's Jap voice is annoying as fuck

>calling other people weeb
>when he plays weeb games himself

>bought the portable MP3 player so now I can listen to old FF music while I explore the world

Nice

Just because you play a Japanese game doesn't make you a weeb. If you are the faggot that won't shut the fuck up about sub>dub and will suck any Japanese cock that comes to his face then you YES you are a weeb

Just because you play a Japanese game with the original audio doesn't make you a weeb.

>Crazy amount of sidequests
All of which suck. "Hey, I'm so hungry, won't you get me some food from halfway across the map? Oh, you have it? Thanks have some ingredients I happen to be carrying."
I mean, yes. There's lots of them, but when most of them are like this, is that really a plus?

I've summoned like 10 fucking times already, the fags saying the summons are story only only listen to bruno mars

If the dub is superior than yes it does

Summons themselves are fine, its just that the whole summon system fucking sucks.

ill never play this game because I can't deal with the hair

yeah, it's a bit stupid that it's only built around players who suck.

Why is Gladio such a bully?

>says Prompto has no chance at all with Cindy and just shits on him all the time
>calls Noctis a scrawny faggot

Iris best girl fuck Luna

Is there any summon that doesn't require you to be almost dead?

I just cannot get in to boyband anime adventure

Because he and Ignis are basically babysitters for barely adult shitkids.
They need to be big brothers.

I've had Ramuh pop up when the party had barely taken any damage. It doesn't seem to be very consistent.

Japs to exaggerate emotions in anime and in movies aimed at teens/early adults.
This doesnt fit well in with western entertainment.

Just picture Tom Cruise going "eeeeeh?! Do you mean I can be a timelord! Thats sooo cool" with horrible bodylanguage.

Japs need to lose this shit right now.

>>Dub is excellent
>Ardyn stands out. His voice acting is god like.
It was mediocre and it barely suited the character.

The rest of the characters were terrible and their VAs should be blacklisted from the industry.

Yeah but Gladio is a dick at times

>your fiancé and dad are dead
>stop being a bitch Noctis

Can you Japan's dick any harder?

Really? I thought it was fine and I'm a hardcore dub-hater.

Switched because the subs weren't matching up with what the characters were saying (to be expected really) which was bugging me a bit and was pleasently surprised.

I bet you like that overacting , over dramatic piece of shit that is the Jap version

What benefits does Fishing and Photography benefit? Cooking helps you out with stat boosts and Survival makes Gladious find random items. I have no idea what Fishing and Photography is for

Just how bad is Chapter 13? I heard it completely kills the game. Is it really that bad?

>Listening to Final Fantasy 11 soundtrack as I cruise around at night
I have reached max levels of comfy

>listening to ff8 ost while I cruise around at night

I have reached maximum levels of PERFECT

Not if you're an idiot and not use the AoE Spell

Holy fuck this. Fishing in this game is so annoying that I want to throw my PS4 controller through the TV but for some goddamn reason I can not stop fishing. I have put way too many hours into just fishing alone god fucking dammit

It does not make the chapter better from a technical point of view you moron

Corridors with unescapable spooky grabs and keycard upgrades/backtracking

what the fuck were they thinking

you guys payed $60 to fish?

It really feels like two games.

One the one hand you have typical Final Fantasy shit and then on the other had you had a Broad Trip Adventure.

>Literally says Iris will remain in the friendzone
She doesn't deserve this. Noctis is a total fag for not letting Iris suck his dick. Hell, Iris will probably let Noctis do the most disgusting shit to her and she'll love it (Like let him pee in her mouth) but nope he wants to look at her brother's abs all day. Fucking faggot

Chapter 13 is total and complete garbage.

You know your game has issues when the highlights are shit every other open world game does

You've been posting this same fucking thread for days.

No one cares.

>Sup Forums said this game was the worst FF ever
>It's actually decent
Fuck you guys

...

Ardyn's voice actor is indeed God-like.

In full CG his mocap is fucking Serkis-tier, but in the game he looks generic Squeenix.

> Dat affable manner.
> Dat vicious "fuck you" undertone.

Affably Evil indeed.

Ignis is cool...that moment when he pleads with his bro's to stop bickering is touching.

Ignis is the very best kind of "smart guy".

My only problem with this game is the fucking capital. Holy fuck whose idea was it to slap a shitty survival horror onto my JRPG? I just want to kill monsters but instead I'm sneaking around trying to ride elevators.
REEEEEEEEE

>subjectivity does not belong in reviews

>he didn't pay $90 to fish
pleb

Try playing the sunken shrine theme in the underwater template. It's comfy as fuck.

She gives me a real Kairi vibe. Since Luna is kill as fuck Noctis should jump on that shit and give her the royal treatment.

I think fishing gets you more material for cooking and the photography is just for you to get more invested in the story

>and the photography is just for you to get more invested in the story
So nothing?

The scene on the train where you chase 'Ardyn' around seems to be commonly misunderstood. You're not actually chasing him; rather Noctis is chasing and threatening Prompto, who is made to look like Ardyn by his (Ardyn's) magic. It's Prompto who is saying stuff like, "Dude, are you seriously trying to kill me?"

It's a huge pile of shit on an otherwise awesome story.
>having fun killing shit
Igi is doing a Ray Charlse impersonation and sucking down potions like it's dad's jizz
prompto gets shoved off a train by you
>Shits not going great
>turn the game into a fucking hallway crawling lol party is missing survival horror bullshit
If you like key cards and spoopy hallways then you'll love it.

Yeah but FF finally jumped on the train. I hope 16 follows this style with more stages like the water temple and less like chapter 13.

oh shit, i want to replay this scene with this theory in mind

It's not a theory it's literally what happens, it's why when you push Ardyn off the train Prompto falls off.

Because it was Prompto all along.

Oh fuck. I thought that line was out of character. That's really interesting. Another moment where it feels like they wanted to do more but skipped it. The game needs a prologue as well.

Oh FUCK.

This game writing was actually clever for once? Holy shit

it even says so in the loading screen after

Ray Chase was so perfect as Noctis. He absouletely nailed all the emotional scenes. 10/10 performance

This threw me off too. I mean Noctis lost his soon to be wife and father and Gladious tells him to suck it up because Ignis is going blind? That came off as so insensitive. He's losing everybody he cares about, he has a right to be down for a while

Gladio takes Ignis being blind worse than Ignis himself does

And then he doesn't stop being a bitch the whole time

Constantly saying shit like "why don't you think of someone other than yourself for a change" when going to the tomb.

>humans write reviews
>humans are subjective
there's your problem asshole
you forgot how life works

I feel like something is missing. Why was he THAT pissed at Noct? There is no reason for him to be that insensitive towards Noct especially at a time like that

how did iggy become blind

Play the DLC to find out

I just finished Chapter 13 and it's probably my least favorite section of the game

Do they ever explain how Gladeo got the scar or is that going to be DLC as well?
I bought the deluxe edition because I expected this to happen

fuck you and anyone like you.

>Do they ever explain how Gladeo got the scar or is that going to be DLC as well?
That's literally why it is exists to begin with

It was a huge chore
The ring was dogshit and the only good thing was the Holy dodge, Aeterna's range is too trash to be useful, and death was just ok

To sell DLC chapters?
>sitting around a camp fire
>What happened to your face bro
>pay $20 to find out how I got this scar
>What about you Ignis? How did you go blind?
>put the money in the box
>what about you Prompto? What happened after I pushed you off a speeding train in a fit of madness?

>subjectivity does not belong in reviews
retard

>games can be objectively fun
lmao
