This game deserves more hate

This game deserves more hate.

It is a testament to everything wrong with Square Enix and the series as of late, yet everyone eats it up because "muh bro feels" and "muh flashy action".

Why are you so blind?

Why are you such a mouth-breathing pleb?

It's fun and has a good story

Okay.

Tabata actually did an admirable job of salvaging the dumpster fire that Nomura left behind

>stop liking what I don't like!

>has a good story
Did it? I had trouble following any of it. He's a king so he needs summoning powers and old weapons to kill the satan alegory or something? And they never give you much time or reason to care about other characters, so when something sad is supposed to have happened, I get the same reaction as I would if I walked into a strangers funeral.
It was just vague and scatological.

Is he why the game feels incomplete in spite of having a fucking decade of dev time?

Im gonna buy an FF on steam to play while I'm bored at work, is 6 good?

Nomura? Yes. Tabata isn't a miracle worker

The bromace in the game is good but the overall plot is lacking.

I am on chapter 8 and so far the overall plot is
>go to Waifu
>can't get on a boat
>kingdom was sacked by Empire
>raid tombs for weapons to use against Empire
>Imperial Chancellor helps us get to Titan
>get Titan's blessing
>get Ramuth's blessing
>get shit to make a boat to get to waifu
>Gladios fucks off for no reason
>Imperial Chancellor helps us get the thing needed to fix the boat.
>Gladios comes back, gets a new scar, and does not explain a damn thing (DLC hook)

I would like to know why the Imperial Chancellor is HELPING us considering that he works for the bad guys

>the fun you're having isn't real because X
>why are you so blind?
(you)

Some consider it the best, and the last "real" Final Fantasy game.

Don't summon him
Please, don't summon him

>Why are you so blind?
because they already pay for it

What did FFs of ye olde do better?
Gameplay? Anyone defending FF gameplay pre-FFX is delusional.
Story? The stories have been anime garbage after FF6.

So what's wrong with the game?

Better than XV

Pretty much this.

I can't take the opinion of anyone who bothered paying for a game and spend all the time to clear an RPG of all things to have an unbiased opinion on the subject.

>WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!

How the fuck could this happen when the FFs of the PS1 era had such an easy to follow and easy to connect with story?

Square still hasn't managed to do a decent FF story after Sakaguchi left, while he made Lost Odyssey at least.

So what you're saying is that you want the story spoiled for you?

Your game is a shameless DLC platform.

Some say the PC port is garbage, is it really that bad or unplayable?

>So what you're saying is that you want the story spoiled for you?

so I get more plot dumped on me later? Good to know because right now it's like MGS5's plot. Hardly there

The helmet design sucks.

>Story? The stories have been anime garbage after FF6.
At least they where deep enough to last more than 20 hours.
This was the shortest story in the series and the whole game feels tiny for it, in spite of the "massive" overworld which turns put to be just the first half of the game. And it's filled to the brim with interesting looking locations you can't actually explore. Over half the dungeons are boring ass caves or dull industrial crap we've seen a billion times before in other series.
I can't believe so much time was wasted on this thing.

the steam version of FF6 is a port of the godawful iOS version. Seriously, LOOK AT THIS?

Just emulate the GBA version with sound restoration patch.

>Temporary MMO-Style event for a Single Player game

What the fuck was Tabata thinking?

It probably would've been okay if it had legitimately been just some dudes on a road trip.

But they had to shove their generic, shitty jRPG big blad potline in which was shittily written and fell apart.

It's super fucking ugly.
Just get an SNES emulator.

>Easy to connect with

FF7 - Some faggot impersonating another faggot due to amnesia is tracking down a third faggot with a group of faggots. You find out corporations are bad and then your bitch dies but it's ok because Circle of Life and there's an alien and you ensure the planet don't die

FF8 - A group of faggots have amnesia and forgot they are childhood friends. Well they are being used as child soldiers to fight witches who are bad, then they find a crucified space witch who is actually your dumb girlfriend in the future because time kompression

FF9 - I won't lie, I like FF9, but I don't think you can call it "easy to connect with".

>Turned big event bosses into borefests
>QTE guards and autododging
>hold-button combat with little variation (the occasional pause-combo move, and some generally awful d-lefts).
>Made magic less a tool and more a "skip boring fights" button.
>First FF since FF9 to use boring cutscene summons, and managed to make them even worse with them activating in dumb ways.
>The main mixup is teamattacks which are more basic than KH2's Limits, and also lack the resource management, so are just spammable iframes.
>Item usage is straight dumb, when they not only got this right back in KH1, but also in 13 LR.

If you like this game, get the fuck out of Sup Forums.

STILL BETTER THAN FF13

>Free drive—the ability to drive the Regalia outside of designated roads—is currently in development. Director Hajime Tabata noted that he is experimenting with various other things that he would like to share, not in an Active Time Report, but through more casual means.


>literally adding things to the game that should have been there from the start
>FFXV is literally early access

>Gladio's DLC will be focused on combat
>Prompto's on story and character development

The funniest part is how fucking bad it looked and then they got stuck on a rock like holy shit

I won't deny that.
But that's a very low bar.

The visual prompts are there because the average jRPG-tard can't handle true action. Go to any popular gaming site and watch 30-something mouthbreathers clamor over
>attack
>attack
>cure

What's the point when we all got the flying car now anyway?
This thing is filled with so many frustrating decisions.

You're still in the honeymoon stage with your bros, later on the plot will become a fat obese piece of shit who beats on you.

Personally I plan on replaying when they add all the extra story content and the Season Pass DLCs, so that's something I guess.

>And they never give you much time or reason to care about other characters, so when something sad is supposed to have happened, I get the same reaction as I would if I walked into a strangers funeral.

This. I honestly didn't give a fuck when the Oracle died.

>This episode will focus on character development.

Right, because you forgot to do any of that in the main game. The early access model is working out pretty well for you, huh Tabata? I sure hope more companies follow suit and give me unfinished games that I'll have to pay to have finished down the line!

FFXIII certainly wasn't great, but it was MILES better than XV in every conceivable way.

yuck

>Gladio will always stay walking advertising: the character

I hope Tabata replaces the final scene with a scene where the bros find Noctis dead before revealing that everyone outside of the castle is dead as well.

No it fucking wasn't, trying to revise history to make people like your guilty pleasure won't work

Yeah xv was pretty gross

Wrong, XV has somewhat likable characters

Armpitfag

Where is Prompto? Did he shoot himself?

I loved the plot, I loved the combat, I loved the music, and I continue to play it (but now I bought FFXIV).

Look under Iggy's arm.

People will actually defend this unfinished mess. This is getting ridiculous now.

lol what the fuck

>Episode: Gladiolus (March 28)

Speaking of that, who where the dead people chained up above the throne just before the final boss? And why did they just disappear when you walked by them?

It's a final fantasy as final fantasy games get.

>>Level cap raised to 120 – Your experience points won’t count towards past level 99 until after the update, meaning you can’t start stocking up experience points before the update.
>>Photo capacity increased from 150 to 200.
What's the point?

Pretty much agree with you.

I played all the way to platinum in the game a few weeks ago, and it was so completely mediocre or outright shitty, that I honestly can't remember half of the game already.

Everything I do remember is almost entirely negative.

>everyone outside of the castle

Like at the gas station and the other safe haven?

My rebuttal.

The story is great, just badly paced in the second half.

The combat is great, but yeah people who are bad at videogames can get through it by using 99 elixirs.

It's all great.

Sup Forums just likes to be contrarian because they think it makes up for their lack of job and education.

>Survey

>Square Enix will host a survey for each region regarding what users want to see in future updates. Further details will be announced at a later date.


LITERALLY EARLY ACCESS

>who where the dead people chained up above the throne just before the final boss?

Regis, Luna, Nyx, and I can't remember who the last person was.


>why did they just disappear when you walked by them?

Because Ardyn was being a dick

>Waifu bait make it a good game!!!
You are the problem.

How much time do you spend with her and how much can you interact with her?

Pic related, it's you

As much as you want. She's a part of the earlier story and she has a bunch of sidequests to fix up your car.

>Story is great
>Combat is great

Weird people like you do that. I don't even hunt achievements. I'll do side missions and shit but who the fuck cares about achievements in 2017?!?

lolno. The only member of the cast I actually liked was Sazh.

But that said, at least there was a cast member in that game I did like, as opposed to XV's boyband which I absolutely despised to the last member.

I disagree. It has nothing to do with Square. It's the industry as a whole and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Square Enix is still making good games compared to most other recent garbage.

>development costs and times are skyrocketing
>WHY ARENT YOU ABANDONING EVERY PROJECT AND SHITTING OUT GAMES LIKE IN THE 90S

People would bitch that he didn't play enough of the game.

There's no reason you could not find any member of the Backstreet cartel enjoyable.
Noctis alone is arguably the best protagonist in the FF series. Very little to zero whining, great voice acting, legitimately important to the plot, etc

>She's a part of the earlier story

She is tutorial NPC, as well as, eye candy quest giver. That it's she never evolves to anything more. She was as thin as as paper in character.

>I would like to know why the Imperial Chancellor is HELPING us considering that he works for the bad guys

Play the game

I didn't really hunt them, I just had the vast majority of them by the time I finished the game and decided to say fuck it and finish up the last 2 or 3 for shiggles.

There was always some lingering hope that I'd find something I actually really liked if I pressed myself into doing everything, but that just never happened.

>development costs and times are skyrocketing

LMAO only if you're an incompetent dev like Square Enix

Besides the costumes, what can you get there that's actually worth anything?

It's a game that can easily net you 60 hours of gameplay and its "early access" I don't get you fools. Witcher 3 also had small updates like this after its initial release

You can trade the tokens for items, including Megalixirs and whatnot.

Well, so was everyone else.

I am but 40 hours in I am still confused.

I am aware that the guy is the final boss but I am trying to figure out how he goes from a bro to the final boss

Witcher 3 also felt like a full game.

>Very little to zero whining

Are you shitting me? That's literally ALL he did for the majority of the game. He did it so much the rest of the cast was even whining about his whining for half the game.

Holy fuck, the denial is real.

Also:
>great voice acting
Now I just legitimately think you're a shill.

Because side-characters of the FF-verse have a tendency to "evolve".
Jesus, even most of the main cast usually get one arc in the middle of the game then they're just placeholders.

>not just pandering to fujos and rolling in them fujobucks

That was Tabby's first mistake.

Then just play the game. Everything is spelled out for you

Except he doesn't, he's constantly in a chipper mood when roaming around the countryside. Did you rush through the main quest, you big baby?

play the game

They tell you

Looks kind of dry, Iggy.

It's already Fujoshit:The Game

>He did it so much the rest of the cast was even whining about his whining for half the game.

Why do you people make it so painfully obvious that you haven't played the damn game?

No they fucking don't. Most of the "development" that occurs in FF games is you seeing someone's backstory. That's exposition, not backstory. How do any of the side characters in FF7-9 evolve in a meaningful way? Or FF10? FF12?

I think FF6 might be the lone exception here.

I'm fine with people not hating it but I'm legitimately baffeled by people think the plot was anything other than an absolute dumpster fire that clearly suffered from being cut up and lack of vision and direction on what they wanted to do (I think that applies to most of the game actually not just the story but that's more subjective because ~fun~)

Literally play the game holy shit

You want spoilers? Fuck you here you go.
He's literally pushing you towards the end, because when you get the ring and touch it to the crystal, he's able to take the whole bitch over

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't see it.

Because I'm fucking blind.

Noctis wearing anything other than his hobo fisherman outfit should be a crime punishable by death.

These aren't small update. They're fucking game altering. Further proving how directionless the project was under Tabata.

Tell me. How are
