It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

I'm sure besides eating food for buffs there must be something they can do to deal with stuff like those really powerful imperial robots right?

Only Cup Noodles can save you in situations like that.

(Also, it's a Final Fantasy so I'm sure you can find ludicrously overpowered equipment or spells or whatever if you know just where to look and/or grind out all the required crafting ingredients. But gently caress if I know where any of that is, I gave up on the series at #13.)

But I'm still mad they add all these improvements long after release. Let's punish early players!

I was going to effort post, but instead I'll just say: yes, please punish early players. Stop supporting companies that release half-finished games.

I'm more upset the way they're doing it and the unbelievably slow pace. That poll, where they asked for input on what to put in next. That shouldn't be the approach to take. Just make it all and put it into the drat game already. Asking for fan feedback on how to put stuff into the game was the approach they took in making it. Do what you want Squeenix, stop looking for approval. And yes, I realize the inherent irony in me saying that.

I mean, poo poo, they released the Afrosword way before the bestiary. That's just unacceptable.

I liked this game and I'm eagerly looking forward to the finished version, but I still think Squeenix is being a bunch of tools about it. Brotherhood and Kingsglaive shouldn't even exist in the first place. If you're going to take all that time to animate something, put it to screen, and set it to music and voice acting, make it part of the main game. Not some side story/supplemental material nonsense.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

Well, at least Noctis won't have his dad punish him for loving up the car.

He should be happy about it. That car was a pile of poo poo that only went 10 miles an hour and broke down less than five minutes after they left.

i can't be assed to check, but i think the king intentionally had it set to break down so his son would be hidden in the middle of nowhere when the giant invasion the king knew about but did nothing to stop kicked off

I'm all for punishing companies that release unfinished games. Please tell me where to sign up to find out which games are unfinished when they release before I buy them.

Don't tell me game reviewers. This game was fellatiated by reviewers on release.

Conan O'Brien did a great review. I'm not going to link it since I can't remember if there are spoilers. All I remember is Elijah Wood was high and they never found any coherent plot.

Look, "get the prince out of town before we're hit by an invasion I can't stop" is a good plan but id doesn't work if when the attack hits the prince is on a boat headed straight for a friendly but Imperial-controlled city. Better if they're at a remote mechanic run by an old and trusted friend.

Why does everyone run up and throw you backwards 20 feet or put you in a full-nelson every time they want to bring up a new objective in a fight?

Why is the car so drat slow?

Why is there only half a character between all these NPCs and your party so far?

Why are parts of the story a movie?
