Those jumps were pretty sweet. And also showed us why there are walls everywhere - because they didn't actually put usable geometry on the rest of the map, it's fall to black and restart. But now it's got me thinking about how many out of bounds areas you could get to with a poorly tested jumpcar. I mean, you could possibly bounce up over all the stationary cars/trucks parked everywhere at Hammerhead and onto the roof.

Missed opportunity in not making the car into a submarine. There's a giant sea in the North part of the map that is never used in the entire game. Underwater Atlantis adventures would be awesome DLC content.

It still bothers me how the main characters talk like they don't even know each other. You'd think square would at least try to understand what it's like to go on a road trip with your idiot friends. Even worse than the lack of chemistry between the characters is that none of them are remotely interesting anyway. The only compliment I can give prompto is that he at least HAS a personality. I still hate him though. Square needs to hire some decent character writers. We need more characters like Ject and Auron.

Just imagine how many Sleeping Dogs or Hitman games we can have if they only got like half the FF15 budget and time.

FF13 versus, or whatever 15 started off as, was announced almost 7 years ago. And what is there to show for it? An overworld that is almost completely barren except for annoying fetch quests?

Of course the actually released game was likely only in development since... probably 2013ish. Multiple reboots culminating in Tabata being given the (tattered scraps of the) project clearly occurred. E: also Benson being surprised that Kuvo beat a game from March

With such a bad development time and such a mediocre game to show for it, it is a wonder how Square justifies making these games.

Noctis' "strong aversion" to the crops is because he's a huge baby who hates vegetables. Genuinely. There are multiple points in the movie where it's shown he doesn't eat vegetables.

Noctis sucks in such a way that's relatively inoffensive, but exhausting as hell. At least Prompto at least you can enjoy disliking him, Noctis is like a vampire that sucks away interest from anything he's near. Gladiolus is the closest thing to an interesting party member and he literally stopped the game to advertise Cup Noodle I'm still not over that

Something about helping Iris grow carrots apparently?Danaru posted:Noctis sucks in such a way that's relatively inoffensive, but exhausting as hell. I disagree, Noctis is infuriating. You could argue it makes sense for sheltered, good for nothing teenager to be pretty  given the situation, but the game does nothing with it. Rather than the plot serving as a vehicle for Noctis to grow in any way as a character, it's just been a never ending excuse for him brood because that's what Final Fantasy protagonists do. He's not as offensive as Squall or Lightning, but he's certainly up there.

Does the quest screen give any indication of quest rewards? It would be good if you could easily prioritize the ones that give potentially fun rewards like the monster truck or bird upgrades, while disregarding the ones that just give XP or some consumables.

Noctis is absurdly passive. Everyone defers to him, but I'm not sure he's actually made a decision yet in the game.

You need to sail to this place to meet your fiancée? Oh no, the boat is broken, you need to get special metal to fix it. Oh no, metal is in a swamp, you need to team up with the enemy now. Oh no, metal must be refined, you need purifying doohickey. Oh no, doohickey belongs to guy who wants monster killed. Oh no, monster can only be killed with certain sword. Oh no, sword belongs to witch who needs 50 red peppers. Oh no, chef has red peppers but will only trade for WHY AM I DOING THIS poo poo IT'S BEEN FIVE HOURS OH MY GOD!!!

Plus I think the antagonist actually wants you to get there so that their evil plan can continue (certainly, he could have stopped or killed you pretty much any time he's wanted for almost the entire game), so the only thing stopping you from going there really is ??????

Who's even the antagonist? It's probably not that hobo dude. Uh, I think there was some white-haired guy, is that it? Do I need to consult some in-game encyclopedia or another movie to know who are The Baddies? Because I feel even if you didn't spend ages dicking around and doing all the sidequests, that'd still be infuriatingly vague.

It's "The Empire." Nobody in the empire is really all that important from what I'm seeing though. It's just a nebulous force of evil that blew up Noctis' hometown, killed his dad, set up a bunch of weirdly inactive checkpoints along the main roads so Noctis can't cruise in style unabated, and occasionally flips Prompto out by dropping soldiers on his head. Noctis has to get on a boat to go marry his bae because, uh... I guess that's going to stop the empire somehow. IIRC there was also a plot about going around and collecting a bunch of weapons to power up Noctis or something, but apparently that was dropped and now it's all about Lunafreya.

I had totally forgotten about why they were looking for Noct's fiancée - marrying her was supposed to ensure the empire didn't invade their city. Um, I think I've spotted a slight problem here. Also, you just know the real evil is the weirdo with the overblown speach patterns who's held their hand every step of the way. Oh, you're stuck? Here I'll open this blockade for you! You need mythril? I'll have my people give you all the help you need. I will steal your car though, because I have to do at least one bad thing before the final battle.

I think now Noctis and Luna are supposed to be getting married so they can combine their fancy royalty powers, which has something to do with the summon monsters since Luna is apparently visiting them too, and then they can stop the Empire from doing whatever evil thing they're meant to be doing. I don't think they were crossing the sea to visit Luna (that was just the excuse for the first arm of the story), I think it had something to do with why the empire killed the old guy but I don't remember what that was.

I think the idea is that all this poo poo happened and Noctis decided to continue his original journey of getting to Luna to figure out what's going on, so they're crossing the sea like normal. The reason it's taking so long is because the war going on stopped all the other boats from traveling.
