I swear to god my brain refuses to take in any of the story. Didn't Prompto get replaced by a Snatcher at some point? I legit thought for a minute that Prompto scanning his barcode was outing himself as a Snatcher, followed by the party all agreeing that Snatcher-Prompto was cooler than regular Prompto. I know it's not the case because that'd actually be interesting, something this storyline refuses to be.

If we found him hanging there with broken legs and half his face hosed up with road rash because hitting the ground at speed loving sucks, that would be cool. We could have a big moral choice of whether to have buffman carry him around (giving us a blind guy, a hosed up boy and a walking ambulance to try and fight around) or we could put him out of his misery because he's only a loving clone trooper or whatever.

Frankly being thrown off a cliff is the absolute safest place to be in adventure fiction. No-one ever dies of cliffs.

I'd prefer it if instead of being stolen Prompto was just tossed because he turned out too lovely to be a super-soldier. He doesn't have super strength or regeneration or any cool poo poo. Like, why not just have him be a regular guy?

So when Prompto was a baby they put an RFID chip in him that opens all their security doors?

He's not even chipped. He just has a barcode tattoo on his wrist. It's covered up in his default and casual outfits, but visible with his uniform(no jacket) one. Now as for why the empire's security is as insecure as scanning easily reproduced barcodes that don't even have clearance revoked from ones that have gone MIA almost 2 decades ago. Well uhh...

I don't know if anyone has noticed from the whole 'We should bring more demons into one place oh no we got eaten by demons' but the Empire is (was) kind of stupid as all hell.

Maybe Prompto was an exceptionally dumb baby and they figured the odds of him growing up and returning to circumvent all of their defenses in the literal heart of their kingdom's stronghold while escorting the son of their sworn enemy was infinitesimally small.  Although.. would a barcode tattoo you received in infancy even still be readable as a quasi-adult? I feel like we can test this.

So this is what Prompto used: I'm not a big time game developer, but you'd think that as the basis of such a core plot point they would have pointed it out in some way at some point in the game. Also, given that there are only a few different costumes, maybe they could have animated him pulling his sleeve up when he scanned it so players would have any idea what he was talking about if they weren't using the one outift combination which actually let you see it. This game is so bad in so many ways it's got me fascinated. Like a car filled with glitter driving into a group of clowns, I just can't look away.

I'd say that this is where they obviously ran out of time and/or budget, but I suspect that has already happened a couple of times. Like, there are literal NES RPGs that have smoother transitions from setpiece to setpiece than this poo poo. It feels like they're simply throwing you from scene to scene because even the people who made the game just want it to end.

wtf You get ultimate phenomenal cosmic power and you just get back to get owned hard by massed enemies? Do you really have to walk 2 and a half miles to the objective? If a normal player was grinding and doing everything is this still hard as hell? Dragon's Dogma did post-game apocalypse better.

To be fair you can't expect this game to live up to the narrative masterpiece that is Dragon's Dogma. Man, Dragon's Dogma ruled and was the good kind of stupid and crazy. I'd better play Dragon's Dogma again some time.

So basically. Ardyn's whole deal is that he violated the union contract and did the Oracle's job instead of the King's job and got grieved to hell and back.

Are you supposed to use the magic super ring or something to activate the super powers you were supposed to have gotten while you were in the hyperbolic time chamber or will the game really make you wade through waves of tedious bullshit before it activates in a cutscene? Also Bahamut had a  face that I can't unsee.

Yeah, he was the true king, decided to absorb the daemon plague into his body capable of it, and his punishment was to be cast aside and a new lineage crowned as the King.

I thought that drifting through the cosmos and being talked at by God in the mariachi outfit was the best choice. Then that dumb hat showed up and I see the error of my ways. Also that this game was even dumber than I remember it.
