Is it really THAT bad?

Is it really THAT bad?

Just finished it the other day, and while I don't think it's a masterpiece by any means, it's the most positive I've felt about a Final Fantasy game in about a decade. And it's actually impressive that they managed to release something as coherent as the game currently is given what we know about the development history, compared to something like Duke Nukem Forever.

There's a lot of stuff that's obviously rushed or missing, but the team decided to make the "four bros on a road trip" aspect the core of the whole game, and that's very well done.

Its worse than older FF games (1-7) but a shitton better than most newer ones

no

Funny since IX is much better than VII

>Trance system

no

I actually also think FFIX is better than FFVII but I hope this post derails the thread anyway

Nah its fine

Nope. It's one of the few games that managed to make me drop a few tears...

>cutting out character arcs to sell back as DLC

That's not fucking fine.

yes

I could play test for ya

>Its worse than older FF games (1-7)
pushing the nostalgia meme a bit too far

This is all you need to know, OP.

car customization suvks
fishing mini game sucks
food mini game sucks
rushed game

Not that bad, just very, very average with shitty combat and rushed content. 5/10

it's fujobait

It's the best FF yet, it isn't even bad, the fuck meme are you spouting?

Combat is average at best
Story is garbage
Characters are garbage
Open world is boring and there's nothing to do other than generic fetch/hunt quests

It's shit.

It's legitimately better than any other FF.

>Actually has combat while no other FF does
>Story is still better than other FF shitfests
>Characters are easily the best FF party we've had who actually feel like believable people
>Open world has more stuff in it than any other FF world map did and the sidequests aren't any different than any other FF

If you are saying XV is shit then you must think every other FF is worse than shit.

i agree and dont spend time on side quests you dont like there is little to no reward but most of them are entertaining for a limited amount of time

Storywise it is disjointed to a degree not even Final Fantasy VIII manages to be, but I'll be damned if I won't gladly take it over yet another game based on Fabula Nova Chrystalis.

They rushed this game out because its just a test, they want to see what their main audience wants and what they dont want, FFXVI will be a masterpiece

It's a 6/10 game that had a potential to get 8or9/10 if they actually finished it.

Play the inevitable PS5 or PC complete edition for a better experience

why do we keep having these threads

Honestly, no. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. it is definitley a flawed game, but a great one at that. I can also understand those who were disappointed with the final product

this game made me hopeful that they're finally gonna be on fucking track. FFXVI will be a masterpiece.

>tfw you realize FF is one of the most acclaimed series in vidya an it's new entry is not exactly what fans wanted so they discuss it

I don't even like FF but these threads are normal fuckface.

Just finished it the other day, going through the post game and i must say, i forgot the last time i had so much fun with a game. Truth to be told, pacing sucks i give you that, there were times where i didn't know what was going on with the story, but the character interactions made it all worth it, gonna love the relationship of the gang.

Watching the anime and the movie adds up to certain plot holes of the game, the universe of FFXV itself is interesting.

TL;DR With a better pacing, this game would be GOAT.
