Finally decided to give it a try.
What am I in for, Yas Forums?
Final Fantasy XV
play the fucking game and stop asking stupid, useless questions, everybody here will say it fucking sucks so why bother asking you fucking faggot kill yourself
Who hurt you, user-kun?
It will be wonderful at first but then you'll get distracted by another more interesting game on your list.
Considering this takes about half my SSD it's not like I have a choice.
You better be playing with the Ignis bunny costume mod.
Aerith dies
ok well, don't waste your time with side quests because you'll over level. Plus they never end. You just fetch things, stare at loading screens, and watch the same animations of those guys riding in the car, breaking your immersion.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I wonder what I should make Noctis look like
Kino.
XV sidequests are fantastic, like the royal arms in the optional dungeons which give new weapon variety and huge stat boosts, on tours give insight into party members, and various kinds of hunts like the behemoth one which unlocks chocobos, Zu on Ravatogh for giant bird boss, Adamantoise gives some more lore to do with the astral war, camp fights, the vyv photo quest leads to Chardanook which all send you to places to do with the astral war, the cid quest upgrades your weapons and gets you backstory on Cid, Cindy quest upgrades your car and gives backstory to do with Cindy and which gives insight into the state of the world through the technology she has you get, like the anti daemon headlights which prevents daemons from blocking you at nightime when driving, or the Melusine quest which foreshadows humans turning into daemons etc.
The car can be driven off road fully manual.
You can literally drive the boat from Lucis to Altissia without a single loading screen you dumb fuck, the world is seamless.
Please ignore the resident autistic fanboy when it comes to this game. He is here >502833723
>anti daemon headlights which prevents daemons from blocking you at nightime when driving
Nope just calling out bullshit when i see it
Hold O, Time Janny
It's shit. It's terribly paced, monotonous, takes itself too seriously.
ffxv was badass overall. even though the 2nd half of the game had really bad gameplay segments it also had some of the best, like, emotion i had experienced in a long time.
you can get thru the 2nd half (thru the point of no return) of the game in one sitting basically, do that and its a much better story that way i feel like
nice ass bro
Literal shit.

I honestly don't have a single good thing to say. I can admit there was effort put into it, and it's great that they managed to squeeze it out in a short-ish dev cycle, but the fact that they LITERALLY had to have players vote on what DLC would be created because they couldn't do everything they planned should really clue you in on how shit this fucking game is. I don't care about the money I wasted on it, but I sure would like to get my fucking time back.
Christ, the ending. Wouldn't be a fucking Tabata game unless he screamed "BE SAD NOW. ARE YOU SAD? YOU SHOULD BE SAD AT THIS PART. ARE YOU SAD YET? PLEASE FEEL SOMETHING" over and over for the last 10 minutes.
Wasted potential on par with Dark Souls 2
So, when am I supposed to play these episodes?
Tell him what fucking time it is user
At some point in the game, Gladio will say "hey guys I gotta go do my own thing for a bit. I'm not telling you what I'm gonna go do, and I'm not gonna tell you what I did when I get back." That's when you can play his episode. The other two are fine after you beat the game IIRC.
I hooe they would ban Latin in all future FF games. FINAL FANTASY VXI: FLACTUS ENVO CRYSTARIUM EST EDITION STARRING CLAVIUS DAE GARVINA
it's entertaining enough to finish. Don't do side quests unless boss fights are getting difficult.
The final bosses in the Royal Edition are unironically the best JRPG bosses, so it's worth beating.
>>unlikeable party members
Stopped reading there. No other FF has anywhere near the level of dynamic and well done party interactions as XV has. You can't even tell me what Clouds favorite food is or what his hobbies are, I can tell you for all four of the main XV group. All the banter they have, the in battle interactions, the photos, the camp stuff. It puts them so much higher than any other vidya characters.
There's no substance to them whatsoever. Even worse if you don't play the DLCs, or if you played the game on release.
>GRAHHHHH WHO CARES IF YOUR WIFE IS DEAD IGGY GOT HURT AND IS DAREDEVIL NOW
>hey guys uhhh turns out i'm actually a robot :/
>oi guv i'm daredevil now
Worst JRPG party I can think of.
All are fully developed and fleshed out, all feel like real human beings with their own thoughts, ideals, personalities, their animations and battle styles all breathe personality and it's exemplified in their banter dialog and story dialog too, they make the strongest FF party dynamic we've ever had because of how amazing intertwined all the game mechanics and characterization is with the cooking, camping, photos and fishing and each of their traits in combat and their personalities themselves. The comraderies and brotherhood on display in XV with organic moments with the bros is far better developed than any other party has, and this is only strengthened by things you do in combat, at camp, the on tour quests, driving around and so on, which show their bonds physically through well done animation that makes them feel believable as friends. Never did at any point did other FF parties feel so believable and real. You obviously know nothing about characterization and are dumb as fuck.
No, they're pretty shallow. They hang out together and after about 5 hours of gameplay you've heard all of their generic lines that they say to each other, which leaves you with whatever they have left during the extremely sparse camping events.
hold one button to "fight" and pretend you suck dick with the lads for the rest
Un-choosable summons.
I beat it recently. The character have a good bro chemistry, roadtrip good, the plot is rushed as fuck. The worldbuilding doesn't match the setting there are giant monsters wandering around, but gas stations and diners are left unprotected.
You will be missing important stuff if you don't watch the Kingsglaive movie. Comrades is the best part of FFXV and should've been the main plot

Online services will be terminated June 23. Meaning no more Avatar unless you play Comrades and you can't play Online with anyone else again.
>windows edition
Hope you don't suffer from the absolute terrible stutter shit I did. Had to play on ps4 because I couldn't get rid of it. It's an enjoyable game especially if you do all the content. It is definitely unfinished though.
>Who hurt you
Literally kill yourself. Please.
It sucks and you can't even get all the trophies without hacking your ps4 so what's the point. Also the adamantoise super-boss is the worst, most lazy designed boss i think i've ever fought
The whole dynamic of the four also represents Insomnia as a society too, you have Noctis representing the royalty, then you have Gladio representing the military, then you have Ignis representing the council, then you have Prompto representing the commoners and the general people.
You got filtered by XV pleb, it's time for you to stop coping.
>got the plat last year
>stuck at like 64% because they removed comrades and made it it's own game but left the trophies intact
Fuck square.
Gladio begins at Chapter 7
Ignis is after Chapter 9
Prompto takes place after Chapter 11
Comrades is after Chapter 13 and before Chapter 14
>online services will be terminated June 23
source?
wait how did they fuck that up
None of this makes them likable.
>source?
They made an announcement about it last week.
>finalfantasy.jp
You're obviously retarded as fuck. We learn in Zegnautus that Niflheim has been experimenting on people and that there was a large group of test subject humans that escaped Gralea. We see Prompto being fat as a child living lonely, parents never home.
From this we can already gather that 1. Prompto was adopted by Insomnians. 2. His adoptive parents are never home because they are always at work. 3. Prompto develops eating habits that lead to his obesity, prompted itself from his low self worth which he says himself he didn't feel like anything as a child which is why he tries so hard to be useful in the group as an outsider.
Prompto being from Niflheim ties into why he has lived a lonely childhood and why his self worth was so low and it feeds directly into his character development, and comes full circle with Noctis who says he doesn't care where Prompto comes from the same reason why Prompto never treated Noctis like a prince.
The storytelling and character dynamics at play in XV were obviously too sophisticated for a subhuman failed abortion like you. Get lynched you braindead fuckstain
They removed the multiplayer comrades shit from FFXV and made it it's own separate game. They left all the trophies intact in FFXV though so if you didn't 100% comrades while it was part of FFXV you are fucked.
>hold one button to "fight
You mean to die?
They will get summoned when certain conditions are met based on how the parties condition is and the location on the map
near water will summon leviathan, inside dungeons will summon ramuh, garuda or shiva, in duscae rocky area and mear volcano titan will summon and also against adamantoise
if you're party is getting rekd ramuh will show up, if you're getting status ailments you'll get others and so on
>no argument
Cope and kneel, retard.

Ardyn is the best villain in any ff ever. Ardyn was a healer of the people 2000 years ago and was the 1st chosen king, he took in the daemons but was rejected his ascension to the throne, and a jealos king banished him and demonized him, Ardyn branded with immortality used that to plan for his revenge, one which would ammas 2000 years as part of the prophecy following the astral war, and so Ardyn used his daemons to create the Magitek by giving Niflheim the knowhow to make them, they used the Daemons to make Magitek and it is revealed that Ardyn was in fact a Lucis Caelum, Noctis's lineage, and so he casts his daemons around the world to shrowd it in darkness for 10 years while Noctis is readying to face him, he orchestrased the attack on Insomnia, and basically had full control of the Daemons too. His goal to rid the Crystal of power and end the royal line succeeded by Noctis having to kill himself to erase Ardyn which involved the Crystal being drained of all power into the ring and the ring itself being destroyed following Noctis and Ardyn's demise. Ardyn ended the demon threat, the line of kings( aka his fucking family) that betrayed him, and ended his own miserable immortality in swoop. No FF villain has ever succeeded as hard as ardyn did
the driving is the loading screen
no they fucking suck. there is no attachment, the only reason they are there is to protect the MC. and the MC is some shit eating royalty with zero personality even though that hack nomura wanted him to have one.
he means SPAM WARP BLADE TO WIN.
Can I make Noctis a full mage?
XV is the hardest FF ever because you get knocked to 0HP every fight. Hold O gets you killed in xv and it's the only ff to do so, every other FF is hold one button to win. Coerl alone is already harder than any FF you retarded cunt
Legitimately the best FF game ever made.
Noctis alone already has the best character arc of any video game MC.
>Father dies; Becomes angry about the responsibilities he has inherited and the God's prophecy, becomes despondent and uncaring of everything- even seeing Luna
>Titan; Displays his displeasure with his title and responsibility and gets his ass told by Gladio.
>Ramah; Witnesses the Empire's invasion firsthand and the trouble that Luna is going through on his behalf, reaffirms his commitment to her and seeing her through the strife, although still reluctant about his fate.
>Imperial Infiltration; Following the Empire's occulation of Lestallum and Jared's death, he dreams about slaughtering Imperial troops and becomes vengeful leading to him accepting the God's power for that very purpose.
>Altissa; Accepts his duty as King, ultimately accepting responibility for the civilians of Altissa
>Leviathan; Becomes stricken with grief and self-doubt following the death of Luna, evidently too weak to even discuss Ignis and the personal state of his own "brothers", leading to tension within the group.
>Gralea-Train; Despondent and dwelling on the past, Gladio again confronts Noctis for being weak and unfit to lead. He is revealed to be too afraid to wield the Ring of the Lucii.
>Tenebrae-Train; Noctis finds his duty to his brothers-in-arms following Ignis' speech in the mines and becomes conversely distraught when he is fooled and pushed Prompto off the Tenebrae-bound train. Displays sadness and a theorized distrust in himself when he believes that Prompto, if alive, will think he betrayed him.
>Gralea; Desparate and without the help of his comrades, Noctis is forced to use the Ring and abandon his friends in an attempt to restore the light once and for all.
>Crystal; Gets schooled by Bahamut and is tasked with completing the prophecy and accepting his role as the True King.
It's better than 7R if you like side content, but the main story is a bit unfinished
Yeah and any other FF job too. Noctis is a weapon summoner and his access to weapons is sort of like a "pseudo job system", playing with different weapons makes him fight in the jobstyle that weapon is associated with. You can go Dragoon style with lances, or Ninja style with Shuriken, or whatnot.
An okay game. Had fun with it.
A bit of kino sprinkled onto a ton of wasted potential. And the best bro you could ever ask for.
I never thought about the fourth one before.
XV has objectively the best FF OST ever, hellfire, somnus, valse di fantastica, nox divina, appcolypsis noctis, ommis lacrima, veiled in black, invidia, shield of the king/gladio theme, ignis theme, home sweet home/prompto theme, cosmogony/gentiana theme, luna theme, noctis theme, ardyn theme, ravus theme, dawn/regis theme, wrath of the sword, somnus vs ardyn, stand your ground, ravus aeterna etc
All objectively the best tracks in the entire franchise.
XV had Shimomura, Okabe, ACE+, Mitsuda, Mizuta, Uematsu and Suzuki combined working on it, there's no fucking contest.
>It sucks and you can't even get all the trophies without hacking your ps4 so what's the point
You can actually.
It's a little convoluted but essentially you use your PC as a proxy and redirect the download request to a different URL - this lets you downgrade to whatever the last update that has Comrades built into the game so you can get all the trophies.
Don't listen to about Ignis. His episode spoils the ending.
no because magic is a consumable item and you'd have to fuck around in the menu to make more after a few casts and when you run out of materials you run out of magic
Stupid story, shit graphics.
Hold O to win.
FF7R and FFXIV are better games.
So you havent played it? XV sidequests added to exploration and character backstory and worldbuilding like unlocking chocobo's by doing the deadeye behemoth quest by tracking down a behemoth to its lair to kill it so that it can no longer kill the wild chocobo's so you can then ride them freely, or cindy's car quest giving her backstory and also upgrading the car and resulting in unlocking the offroad monster truck
Even the frog fetch quest in XV tied into the worldbuilding of the starscourge, the entire reason you're doing it is to gather mutant frogs for sania to research the strange phenomenons to do with the nights growing longer and their mutations, and it results in her research being the reason the player even finds out that the starscourge is a plasmodium spread through the atmosphere and mutated wildlife and humans into daemons, and that killing daemons spreads in a viscous cycle
Even taking photos for hurley from lost added worldbuilding because his photospots all took you to historic locations to do with the astral war, the astrals or Solheim era and there was new world building dialog in each, like finding out the astral war caused the huge canyon area in taelpar crag or that the destroyed ruins around duscae and cleigne are ancient Solheim ruins and glow red at night which is how the player learns the night has some relation to Solheim ruins which in turn ties into getting into costlemark tower which is only open at night and glows red which you learn by doing the sidequest.
Optional dungeons were all sidequests in XV too
Are you the nigga who was scared of malware earlier today after showing screencaps of the game downloading?
I hated the game, but I agree with this 100%. What a fantastic soundtrack, unfortunately (at least in my case) I never really got to experience most of it as I spent all my time in the car or on the chocobo listening to OLD FF music on the in-game MP3 player :/
Didn't discover how great XV's music was until a few months after the fact, but it's legit one of my favorite game soundtracks now.
I read they're going to remove this feature in a week or so
Play them after you beat the game. ie release order. like every other series in every other medium
dont forget the fucking dining car
What a fucking lie. Weapons work like weapons. They have different animations and ranges, that's it. There's also a single shuriken in the whole game you gigantic faggot.
I'm glad this retard got BTFO
