Now the dust has settled, what did Sup Forums think?

poopy poop

>leviathan boss starts
>game becomes zone of the enders 2
im more than ok with this

Best FF since X by far but still not on par with the glorious PSX era FFs which still is the best trilogy of games ever made. I hope they use they lessons they learned with XV to create a XVI that offers more different regions and meatier story.

It's okay but there are some issues:
*having to refuel your damn car
*can only accept one hunt at a time
*have to go back to the place you accepted the hunt to turn it in
*imperials crashing nearly every damn fight
*can't explore the world at night due to boss tier monsters running around

then again:
*I am only in chapter 3 dicking around
*I never saw any trailers outside of the initial FF vs13 reveal
*spent $20 on it

Kinda gay.

>have to go back to the place you accepted the hunt to turn it in

No you don't. You can turn it in at any tipster.

The resident evil section was a horrendous slog.

Think im at the end now though and its getting better. Everyone has decent outfits finally.

>*can't explore the world at night due to boss tier monsters running around
just walk away from them

sweet

but I also hate I can only accept some certain hunts at certain places

There's definitely things that could be improved, but I'm enjoying myself

>*can't explore the world at night due to boss tier monsters running around
once you get level 30ish you can take them all out, and they give nice xp

>*have to go back to the place you accepted the hunt to turn it in
wrong

>*can only accept one hunt at a time
I hated this too

>*having to refuel your damn car
There are mods for the car that will eliminate this further, but it's only 10 gil dude. Also mods for the above point of night mobs, so they won't appear on the road at least.

you can mod a PS4 game?

Ch13 was shit

in game items that add modifications to the car

I want them to appologize for this during the 30th anniversary event on 31st january. I want them to appologize for making me buy a bellow average and an unfinished game that had a 10 years of devellopement.

>Be low level
>Take on a squad of Imperials
>Realize that you've accidentally aggro'd a herd of garulas
>Pack of Voreteeth joins in
>SECOND squad of Imperials arrives
>Win

That was a fucking awesome feeling

I love the road trip atmosphere so much, I had no Idea I ever wanted this. If this had gotten another year and someone competent to make sidequests this could have been 10/10 material.

Chapter 13 and costlemark tower are incredible in how bad they are. How did they not realize how shit those were

Pretty bad desu. 9 was the last good FF game. I'm glad Atlus and Monolith Soft at least still know what they're doing, since Square is just a sad shadow of their former selves now.

I didn't mind Costlemark too much, except when I had to reclear it a second time for a hunt. Just eat the food that negates elemental damage and the hardest part of that place becomes nullified.

>10 years
he doesn't know. Toppest keks

>in game items that add modifications to the car

so I have to do Cidney's quests?

The best FF game yet.

Yes. I think there are a total of about 6. They add headlamps, speed, fuel efficiency and things like that. iirc the headlamps one is the last one before end game that turns it into a flying car.

i'm not gonna play it until they finish it

...

most I have ever cared about my party in any ff game yet, just wish cindy decals weren't pre order dlc

For a game with a bad start and a pretty much nonexistent middle, it had a great finish. Totally made me feel something at the end unlike the goddamned 13 trilogy.

>tfw they cut out about 2 hours worth of backstory from the beginning which would have made it so much better

I loved it but I wish something like this was in the game. Or at the very least I hope this new artwork is teasing something they are going to add via DLC.

Also:

>Be level 7
>Get caught in the wilderness of Leide after dark
>Weird puddle of liquid darkness appears
>What's this? Hang around to see what happens
>Fucking Iron Giant climbs out
>Run like a herd of chickens to hide behind the nearby haven
>Giant roams around nearby all night, roaring and scaring the shit out of me
>Can now take on Iron Giant, Ice Bombs, 2nd Iron Giant, more Ice Bombs, and only have to fade when a fucking Red Giant pops up.

It's so satisfying when you are able to take down stuff that was nightmare fuel at the start of the game.

I atually like the cold drop into an unfamiliar world with already established relationships. I found that quite refreshing.

>It's so satisfying when you are able to take down stuff that was nightmare fuel at the start of the game.

Yeah. I also take it that the "warp strike to destroy demon parts" is a key skill to have?

I almost have enough AP for another 99 AP stat up skill

Still shit

always warp strike to kill, extra AP

That's why XV is better than 9 and better than the pieces of shit Fatlus and Monolith softcock shit out.

What's there to do post game? I just find myself trying to get to level 8 Hunter status, but I can't find any fucking jobs. There this lvl 120 fggt that guy wants me to fight, but I can't fuck with it because it one shots me and my team and we're all at level 98.

It was definitely not the best Final Fantasy I've played. The story was really short and lacked some of the development I've come to expect from Square. Sometimes it feels deliberately cut up.

But its a god damn stellar game. Ive had more fun with this game than most any other game in years. The game is gorgeous and interesting. The combat is way different and stylish while still maintaining some depth to it. Lots of minigames and side quests and dungeons to keep you busy for weeks.

Im sure everybody was expecting perfection out of this but as it stands, Square put forth a great platform to hopefully build upon and I cant wait to see what they have planned for the next FF after playing this.

Mediocre timesink. Had it not been December, I don't think I would have put this many hours into it.

It's not the worse game of 2016, but looking back at past trailers, it could've been so much more. Still annoyed they cut out so much from the 2011 trailer and put the invasion in that shitty movie.

Unironically have mad fun. Level 99 now after 60 hours. Doesn't care what people think, moving on to the next game. I now understand again how to enjoy fucking vidya. Many thank to normie friends who discussed this with me on facebook.

Also haters can keep crying because I'm sure people will really hate it.

That's useful. Also try the Warp-strike, Warp-point, Warp-strike sequence to avoid taking any damage.

Best way to earn AP is unlock the things that give you AP for doing everyday stuff that you do all the time, like camping, trips in the car, chocobo riding, fish catching. These skills usually don't cost many AP to unlock and you don't even have to make any special effort to earn large amounts of AP

That part where you get the Mythril and then come back to the power plant was some hot garbage. The game fell apart at that point.

Some dungeons like Pitios, you have to overhear some dudes by a window in Lestallum to get the quest for it.

I nearly have all the passive AP boosting skills. Helps that I mainly camp so that is 4 AP right there (3 from camping and 1 from favorite food)

and it turns out I already got that Daemon skill.

Picked a cup noodle picture ont the second playthrough

>tfw could grind out 1300-1500 ap in 90 minute sessions with this + whistle

That quest with Aranea was one of the best parts though. And that powerplant thing just felt like something to ease some tension and for a breather since it was pretty short and had a comical aspect to it.

Unfinished game.

>tfw every time Aranea drops into a fight later in the game, the fight is already over so I rarely get to see her

>tfw Aranea has never dropped into a fight.

I just want to see her one more time.

At least it's not XIII.

>pretty damn good for an unfinished game
>xv-kun simulataneously got btfo forever by Sup Forums as well
It was a win-win scenario.

i do believe it is only at night time

This. That is absolutely gorgeous.

Also, where the fuck can I buy better fishing gear?

BLUE BALLS
WASTE
OF TIME

There's not a lot of fishing gear that you can buy. You get most of what you need by doing fishing sidequests.

>leviathan boss starts
>try my best to fight
>no indication that im doing jack shit
>finally look ---- its a "Must Lose Boss Fight"
>cutscene and then finally god powers
>now its so easy it might as well not even exist as a boss fight

FF15 can go suck a dick seriously

>second playthrough

for what purpose

>You get most of what you need by doing fishing sidequests.

fuck. I only found better lures from there but I want better Rod & Reels

Don't you fucking insult the name of Zone of the Enders 2 with your bullshit comparison.

Camping sucks when it rains.

How when XV BTFO all the shitposters on Sup Forums?

The supersaiyan thing was just an interactive cutscene bruh.

...

All the boss fights are pretty terrible honestly.

Combat in general is ass.

...

You can glitch her into your party permanently.

1. Rest at a campsite.
2. Wait until night.
3. Pick a fight with a demon nearby.
4. Run away immediately after it spawns.
5. Return to camp from the map menu.
6. Quickly pull up the option to rest.
7. If Aranea has spawned, wait until right after the animation finishes. If not repeat steps 3-6.
8. Hit rest.
9. Wait until the game saves.
10. Reload your save, Aranea is now in your party.

There are certain events that can remove her from your party, if that happens you can either reload your save or repeat the above steps again.

...

I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED

...

Nah they are good, only that bossfight and a part of the ardyn fight is like that. Aranea fight, Ifrit fight, Quezlcoatl fight, etc are gud

>For December
>all other games released early ti mid november
>FFXV is the only game that released on the very last day of november
>implying this is an accomplishment
>outsold by ARK of all things

Because despite all the shitposter memes you see on Sup Forums, XV was hyped up a lot and it payed off.

Get the fuck out of here, plebs and let the superior game in.

Sup Forums BTFO ETERNALLY

You'll get them eventually, don't worry.

It's worth noting that, in chapter 8, there's a fishing sidequest triggered in one of the camps. It's good to prepare for it, cause it takes about 8 minutes of the reeling minigame to catch that sucker. There's also a chance that it straight up doesn't spawn and you have to try again next time.

>rated worst than XIII
i'm rolling on the floor

AN
AGGRESSIVE
WASTE
OF
OUR
TIME

As a FF game this game is not great

as a bromance simulator it's top notch

Stop bullying antikun, he's in the thread but already peeved because nobody's responding to his posts

See XV sold more than Uncharted 4. Only other AAA western games sold more than it for 2016 and XV came out in the last month of 2016 and still ranked alongside other AAA games that came out earlier in the year.

>Aranea fight, Ifrit fight, Quezlcoatl fight, etc are gud

The Ifrit fight is one of the worst in the game.

It's a good cooking game for sure.

Now look at the actual review ratio. XV has more positive reviews than 13 does and also more reviews that factor in the score. Learn how Metacritic works you retard. XV on Xbone has an 83 has an 83 too.

Hold circle to combat, the game.
Meme MMO tier quests.
Fucking retarded Jap soap opera tier plot.
Clearly cut content.
Last quarter of the game is a GIANT fuck you to the player.
Last boss has no final form, in a final fantasy game.
Bahamut isn't even a fucking dragon.
Car is cool for about 2 minutes until you realize the game would have felt way more immersive if transportation was handled by chocobo.
Game literally feels like cobbled together shit left over from final fantasy seven remake that they decided to make a game out of because fuck you that's why.
6/10, made me extremely angry because you can see the potential for a legitimately good game behind all the bullshit.

I honestly think the fact that this is an open world game was the biggest mistake they made.

Its full of fucking nothing and the side quests are so mundane and repetitive. Its trying to be so many things at once and aren't excelling at any of them.

Hunting feels like a really weak Monster Hunter minigame, fetch quests were done better in ubisoft games and that may be giving it too much already.

I just reached Chapter 12 and after that leviathan fight its been going downhill so hard.

>Luna dies
>Sudden death
>Forced emotional sequence

I dont know how am I suppose to care when there was BARELY any character development or chemistry.

So glad I only spent $20 what a fucking mess

Uncharted 4 sold 8.7 million copies in 2016. FFXV....sold 3-4 million.

Fantastic game with numerous flaws.

No it was great.

I went back to FFXIII after playing this and am having more fun with XIII.

The open world fatigue is real, and this game really has the worst parts of them.

Hows that suicide watch going?

Anyone tried to play Persona 5 just after FFXV?

Not even trying anymore HAHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe you can't read but that chart is about US sales. That 8.7 million is for worldwide. XV ranked in 10th highest selling game in the US for all of 2016, Uncharted 4 did not beat XV in the US and isn't even ranked.

If you want to travel entirely by chocobo you have that option

Ifrit was pretty great. If only it was harder...if only there was a hard mode.

Nice meme post. XIII is complete trash in every way possible, XV shits on it in every aspect.

>fighting ardyn
>this is pretty cool actually
>"hold L2 to summon"
>oh shit it must be scripted, right?
>ardyn eats shit
>his health bar is empty but he still takes damage
>uh... what?
>he regains most of his health and we move on to phase 2

Is this a thing that happens to a lot of people or was I just lucky?

>FFXV
>Better music

Nah, you're just meme'ing

>it's a weabs enjoyed a mediocre game thread because all they play is mediocre games
I hate every single one of you that think this is a good game. You are literally the reason Japs continue to churn out garbage material.
Thank you for making 98% of jrps absolute garbage after the ps2 era by supporting garbage like this.
