Collect all the weapons and stab the god beasts so hard in chapter five that they just go and sort poo poo out for you so you can marry your wife and stop bugging them.

4 bros go on roadtrip so princebro can prove hes responsible enough to be kingbro by helpinv people out and experiencing the world, they go back to capital and find empire attacking and have to rally and save everyone would have been a way better story. World of Ruin should have been the literal last scene in the game.

That's what I had been hoping for when I originally heard the vauge outline for this game way back. No big epic save the world plot. Just a bunch of dudes on a fantasy road trip where hijinks ensue. It would have been a refreshing change of pace.

I think I would've enjoyed it since it sounds like the Ghost Train segment of FFVI but as an entire game.

"Cindy and Iris are badass slayers now. No, you can't see them, they're in... uh... Canada." I know the real reason is "we want to make as few new character models as possible" but it's still amusing.

You know all the joking aside I think the strongest detail in this entire game was unfairly overlooked. That detail is the fact the cup noodle hat also looked worn down and dirty 10 years later, the actual hat part. The labels were faded and worn.

So my take away from Ardyn's story was that he's real sick of being alive and the only person who could kill him would be a super powered Noct and also it would cost Noct his life. This was also all set in stone eons ago and maybe it was hobomans destiny to take the darkness into himself so that it could later be destroyed and the gods all knew about all of this and I'm also pretty sure everyone including Noct knew that the journey would end in Nocts death. Which makes Gladio being a dick even worse. I still can't believe they made Noct Jesus, they literally call him the 'King of Kings' The golden quay sequenced was insane. I was so over powered by that point I was swatting em like flies lol. Some King.

This game is so loving good at creating semi-interesting concepts and then completely wasting them. A post-apocalyptic demon world version of the original map where cheery waifu-bait characters like Iris and Cindy have been forced to become hard-nosed demon slayers and what remains of the general public thinks Noctis abandoned them because they didn't see him get sucked into the crystal sphincter would actually be really interesting to explore. But no they just kinda drop the setting at the player's feet, explain a few characters where are they now credits montage style, and point you at the final boss. This loving game.

it's really bizarre that the most emotional performance by far we've gotten in this game is adult talcott randomly reflecting on his grandfathers death in the middle of a menu full of bullshit time skip exposition having non-bland voice acting at any other point in the game probably would have been a good idea

i81icu812 posted:What the hell is going on Noctis had to coccoon for a bit to fully absorb the power. Ardyn wanted him to do this for some reason but is also the bad guy because people were dicks after he saved the world (pairing with Noct's Christ analogies, Ardyn seems to have been essentially a Sin-Eater), so there was a mix of helping and being the bad guy along the way. So now we're a butterfly, Ardyn has had ten years of being Kefka in the World of Ruin, and we're going to go kick his rear end by holding O until he falls over. Except not because Time Dog is here to put a stop to any sort of pacing (it really feels like a bad compromise of open world vs story tunnel).

But yeah, this NPC reflecting on another NPC's death in an optional conversation feels more impactful than your dad getting murdered, your girlfriend getting shanked, your friend going blind forever, your other friend secretly being a clone/robot/enemy trooper the entire time, any guilt you might have felt about throwing said friend off of a speeding train by mistake, the entire world being condemned to eternal darkness, or the realization that you're on a suicide mission.

It takes a special talent to make a fantasy-modern world where none of the potential of which are explored in an interesting manner and what is left is baffling to the common sense. Why can't it just be demons invading the land without the eternal night bullshit, but no wait we got to put yet another tryhard dramatic plot device because.

I'd claim that the whole impossible ten years of eternal darkness and the car ride of exposition is when the game obviously stops respecting the intelligence of the player, but to be fair I'm not sure that it ever did.

I went back to the last video because I couldn't remember why it was ten years later. That's how bad the plot is. And remembering didn't help anyway. Another thing, if I was playing this, I would be loving furious about being thrown into the endgame like that. This is because when leaving the first continent you are told you will not be coming back "for a while" or something like that. Post-ending play is not the same as coming back at a later point and if that is what you mean you shouldn't loving imply the player can come back to finish sidequests later. Also because in my honest opinion, the side quests, however bad, is the best part of this game. Not because they are good but because the main plot is so much worse.

This is the part of FFXV where you can feel the cut content the most imo. The entire game feels cobbled together, yes, but only in this section is there a massive time skip, minimal explanation as to what you missed, and then you're sent straight to the end.Bruceski posted:"Cindy and Iris are badass slayers now. No, you can't see them, they're in... uh... Canada." I'm going to take the more cynical view and say the only reason it wasn't Cindy who picked you up in that truck was because when they were deciding which characters they would make new models for, they probably decided nobody wanted to see the girls aged up anyway. So both Cindy and Iris disappeared offscreen.

The time skip is fine, you can see what happened if you play the Comrades multiplayer expansion. In the expansion, Iris sells you clothes and make up, and cooks you food.

(I'm mad at SE, by the way, not you.) If the game withholds some characters only to entice you to buy DLC that's even worse than my "older women don't have the same sex appeal" theory.
