Terper, you went full me right there. Never do that again. All you need to know about FF15 is that it sucks dongs.

I don't see how a game that's been in development hell for ten years can be bad!

Especially since it's not actually out yet.

The last time I paid any attention to FF15 was when it was called FFvs13.

Is the game actually looking bad? I was thinking of getting it but if its another FF13 type of disaster then lol.

World of Final Fantasy is quality gaming. I was expecting a more budget feeling game but overall everything seems really polished. I find myself chuckling a lot at the silliness so mission accomplished I guess.

i'm sure everyone thought FF13's story would be coherent before it was released too, so there's no way to tell until after the fact

at the very least kingsglaive and the anime seem to indicate they wrote the story more then 5 minutes before making the cutscenes

I think the main point of that storyline was to show that it wasn't just the Kingsglaive that were unhappy with the decision, but the citizenry. He fed them some information, I guess about where guards would be at what times or whatever. I don't think he ever really wanted to cause any harm, nor thought that they were actually going to do terrorist stuff. Basically it was all done so that he could stumble around all confused, pick up that transceiver, and figure out who Glauca was.

Thanks. I arrived at a similar conclusion but boy was that part clunky.

Is there a patch considered "best" for the SNES FFVI for bug fixes and the like? Really wanna play through it again, but there's all sorts of different patches I'm finding.

FF12 had more than a desert, not to mention deserts being significant locales in the series.

As much as I am enjoying WoFF, this game really needs a 3rd stack, no humans, and some challenge. Chapter 20 and I just realized I haven't actually used Champion summons or XL's yet.

Is online multiplayer any good? Haven't given it a shot yet.

let's say this whole game did take place in a desert, did it ever occur to you that that might be part of the environmental and world design? or do you think every country on earth has the same biome as any other?

The first 10 minutes are a literal Kill X quest taking place in a completely flat and open barely-even-qualifies-as-a-"level" sandpit. How is this better than any other Ubisoft pile I've played 100 times before?

You know:

I genuinely feel like people use the basic trappings of Ubisoft and assume the problems are with how they exist instead of how they are implemented. Open-world games, even excellent ones, need most of those things to function. "I can see a lot of different events on my map!" or whatever is not an inherently bad thing and rather than discussing why the gameplay does or doesn't work it feels like people see the superficial similarities and assume that means Bad.

Wait, which was the first final fantasy to take place entirely in a desert? There were like two desert areas in XII and the rest was mines, manmade areas, jungles, etc.

I can't speak on the multiplayer but if you want the regular game to be way harder, use Active for the ATB.
