First 5 minutes of Final Fantasy XV involves you pushing your car to the nearest petrol station

>first 5 minutes of Final Fantasy XV involves you pushing your car to the nearest petrol station

Who at Square green lit something this stupid?

Hajime Tabata

Same guy who greenlit a minimum of 20-30 minutes of boring dialogue before you get to do anything in FF8.

I mean, after that you get to meet Cindy so i will say is worth it.

Who greenlit the awful characters and combat of xv

>awful characters
Wrong
>awful combat
Agreed

It's crazy how KingsGlaive was better in every way.

How did they manage it?

I guess you don’t even care about character exposition or relationship-building then? So why are you even playing an RPG? If you want non-stop action, there are games for you.

>main character is likable
>story is set in the city instead of 1950 route 66
>story is well put together unlike XV

First 10 minutes of FF9 involves a QTE boss fight. All final fantasy games do stupid shit.

>awful characters
>Wrong
Wrong. They're awful.

>the only good part of FFXV was character's anime hairstyles going down in the rain

Sup Forums is full of flebs

I liked the opening, rest of the game was meh

>Square
Shouldn't that be a sufficient answer right there? Expect similar ingenuity from the FFVII remake.

fuck you I riked it

If you don't thought that this was a great opening then you have literally no idea how the real world works and character building.

tabata is a moron but nomura is at fault.
Can be easy to pick up the garbage from another dev especially when they made everything with a engine of pure shit.

Isn't that every jap game ever?

I played this for the first time today. honestly, i'm very disappointed.
the story is not eye catching at all.
sidequests are boring fetch quests with very little impact.
combat is beyond atrocious, literally the worst combat ive seen since FF13 (Lightning returns was fun though)
Characters were not that interesting. except for Cindy who only has sex appeal and Gladiolus
I dont want to be 'that guy' but the graphics were terrible outside of cutscenes. kept thinking it was nier automata lol
Game ran alright. i didnt notice any frame dips
I hated the ever looming atmosphere of knowing there's an anime and movie backstory which i didnt watch, so i kept thinking "oh, they say that in game but they must be referring to something that happened in the movie"
also the ever looming fact that there's a season pass, multiplayer, dlc, product placement, etc
didnt like this game, wouldnt recommend it to anyone even though we're on a FF15 thread so fuck you guys

Sorry that you're a brainlet that missed the point that it's starting off purposely grounded and mundane so that it can build up the the stuff that happens later. And it's a good way to get a grasp of the group dynamic from a relatable situation.

The desert with old fashioned tech and old buildings was always a thing for outside of Insomnia.

>the other stuff doesn't count so it's bad!?

i need to see the movie but where?, none of the official services will accept my debit card, options?

what other stuff? ive already mentioned that the gameplay and story are shitty which makes up most of the game. im not gonna call this game amazing just because the food looks good, if you wanna do that to help justify spending $60 on the most hyped dead game of 2017 then go ahead.

PSN store has it.

Jokes on you, when Nomura worked on the game, it wasn't on Luminous.

How hard it is to mod a game that has at least basic mods support?
I really want to rewamp some of the stuff in the game's combat mainly add airstepping to all the weapons like in comrades, replace some animations and rework weapons switching so that it trigger certain attacks as soon as you switch to another weapon mid-combo.
Also to rework Armiger so it's fun to use.

>first 5 minutes are you running to the right of the screen occasionally jumping over a gap

who at nintendo green lit something this stupid?

Thats better than pressing "attack" for a hundred hours. I dont rememeber you brainlets whining about that.

wait isnt the start if the game a flash foward into the future against the final boss?

>The characters clash super hard with the desert theme. The NPCs look better designed then my party members.
>get some girl to repair my car. I run off to fight wolfs or something.
>Combat is worse then Skyrim. Just hold down button and watch until a qte promp appears.
>come back to get my car mechanic says "hey wanna do a job for me" then dialog choices appear.
>cool i have a choice in what I say so ill say no to the job
>lol just jk you have to do it anyway your choices don't really matter.
>start driving. Apparently they added a feature to drive off road. Glitchy as hell out there.
>Find a shiny object on a rock. Getting out of the car sends you to a FUCKING LOADING SCREEN like the car is its own little world.
>Once it loads the car has teleported back 10 ft because I'm not allowed to walk around where I parked.
>go to inn and sleep. Wake up later and go to my car.
>Im not allowed to drive anymore for some reason. One of my party members has to drive and I can do nothing but sit there while he slowly drives. I go check my email and 6 minutes later hes still driving.
fuck this fuck this fuck this Im done. What game am I even playing? am I even playing this? Is there any difference between playing this and watching someone play? I doubt it gets better so I'm done. Thanks for fucking reading.

Yeah and how did that work out you joker?
The only thing this even means is that normura worked with a even bigger piece of shit of engine if he coudntl produce stuff worth a shit.
Consider how its even possible why they had to switche engines at least dude.

>fantasy based on reality TM

nah fuck off faggot

xv was medicore but kingsglaive was a terrible movie, and it was only hardass luna and aaron paul's acting that saved it

That's just the beginning bucko, I'd guess there's at least 5 hours of just driving/sitting in fast travel loading screens in a full playthrough, on top of tons of backtracking and most of the over world being very boring to explore, way more tedium on top of that if you do hunts.

Luminous is just an evolution of the white engine, crystal engine, etc. Is all the same thing. They've been working on it for over a decade but it was always trash. This is the reason FF13 was so linear, because the engine was unfinished and a mess not a design choice.

Is this as bad or worse than the ox from DDDA?

Should I play this game if I hated every Final Fantasy since FFX-2?

>muh bros
>muh roadtrip
>muh quips

because it's like a start of a movie

Why did the Empire's plan to get the Kingsglaive away from the emperor hinge entirely on Nyx noticing something about the watch?

why isnt this shit out on pc yet

not their fault they are from Oregon and have never pumped their own gas before

is this game any good? if i have a jrpg itch would it somehow scratch it? is the story complete? how is the fighting system?

don't you want some road trip memories to laugh about with your bros while you hit the showers?

FUCKING POCKET EDITION WHEN

FUCK YOU SE. LYING FAGGOTS.

Pretty sure they realized the limits of Nintendo's hardware. This is the same game that was delayed for an entire month due to wanting everything to be on disk, only for everyone to learn that virtually nothing extra was included.

>literally just the first 10 minutes which is still in the tutorial
>waaah why can't I do everything from the start waah
Also you're wrong.

Square stopped making good games.

the 2 month delay was to polish visuals and add in new moves and cutscenes and mechanics like the dagger kick or out of battle warp working without glitches and other bug fixes

Who the hell was the guy in the robot armor before unlocking Duscae ?
He's a CG cutscene, was he important ?
Why do they keep talking about other characters like i'm supposed to know who they are ?

Luminous is good, it's the consoles that are shit.

It moving to luminous was entirely Nomura's idea and they did so when he was still director.

Actually it isn't, luminous is a different engine. Ebony engine is a heavily modified crystal tools that was done specifically for versus in 2010, they turned ebony to a dx11 version of it in 2012 so they could port over what they had to luminous which is dx11 based starting in July 2013, mostly just animations were reused as all models were recreated from the ground up at 5x the poly count of what they had from the ebony build with more bones too so the animations looked more smoother.

Yes. Yes. Pretty much. If you learn the system yeah.

Ravus? They give enough context to know who they're talking about whenever they do.

okay thank you very much. a collegue of mine offered me to borrow his copy so i´ll try it out...

Who ?

>I dont want to be 'that guy' but the graphics were terrible outside of cutscenes. kept thinking it was nier automata lol
where they bad? i don't see it
>I hated the ever looming atmosphere of knowing there's an anime and movie backstory which i didnt watch, so i kept thinking "oh, they say that in game but they must be referring to something that happened in the movie"
you'd think so but it's not, the story is jsut a mess
>also the ever looming fact that there's a season pass, multiplayer, dlc, product placement, etc
the DLC are completely side stories for the other characters so its not that bad.
