That poo poo would be a lot more tolerable if people learned to stop stating their opinions as facts.

Just mentally append "I think" to the beginning of every statement because that poo poo would get tedious if people had to type it every time. I got really tired of grading papers where students feel the need to preface every statement of their thesis/core argument with "I think" or "in my opinion." It just doesn't add anything.

Assume what you read here is people sharing their opinions and occasionally arguing over whose opinion is correct. Actually just assume that about every argument you read.

People want to take out all the fun out of posting. How fun would it be if we didn't make fun of each other's tastes and were just like "Well, I think this is good sir." "I have a disagreeing opinion and think this game is of a slightly lesser quality." Ho hum. Boring. It's the 2098th page about FF opinions. We need to spice it up a bit.

I can't for the life of me figure out what people see in FF12 than an idle clicker wouldn't also serve
I've wanted a clicker/rpg hybrid and even got out PS2 normal FF12 not long before Zodiac Age was announced hoping it might scratch that itch. It didn't because it's so glacial. At 2x and 4x it's just a strangely satisfying automated RPG and absolutely better than the default speed.

It's kind of nuts how speed up makes it a better game.

I dunno how you could say 15 has no charm when Prompto is probably the most charming FF character ever. Him humming fanfare after you beat a set of monsters is the best.

You know what gently caress you if you don't like Prompto. The characters are definitely not what's wrong with Final Fantasy 15.

He doesn't start out that way though and he only starts being that way after poo poo hits the fan and it's his way of venting while also trying to protect and motivate Noctis.

I'd lose my patience too if the future king I was supposed to protect kept being distant and careless and my friend was missing and another friend just lost his eyesight trying to help me do my job.

Nah, Gladio starts as a dick. He's pretty aggro the moment anything goes wrong which happens basically the second the city falls. Which is understandable to some degree but he's pretty consistent the dude pissing in Noctis's cornflakes any time Noctis is trying to deal with poo poo. Which is somewhat understandable when Noctis is being whiny but seems a lot less sympathetic when Noctis is dealing with the murder of the woman he loves and thinks maybe bringing a blind guy into a monster cave isn't the best idea.

He also is the dude who pisses off to have his own adventure midway through the plot while Ignis is constantly there despite going blind and Prompto leaves only when he gets literally kidnapped.

LET ME EXPLAIN

The story is just super goofy after chapter 9. Like, do you remember Prompto being a magitek clone soldier? Probably not because he angsts about it in literally one scene and no one gives a gently caress and it isn't brought up again.

FWIW this is also what Episode Prompto is almost entirely about.

When it's just physical attacks, that's a blessing. It only really sucks when it also affects magic.

I liked it too. I had fun just chilling and looking at the sights.

In general the whole road trip theme of the game really worked for me and reminded me a lot of stuff I did when I was young.

Does any FF game have Blind affect magic, though? I think only Silence matters for magic, and for that it's all or nothing.
