mandatory lesbian posted:yeah, and you'd never bother to spoil for ffx presumably. there has to be a limit and i think a problem is we all have a different idea of what that limit should be. personally i'd say after a year just talk about the game but i know some people are gonna think that's too short and others way too long I guess to me it's not even a matter of time limits or hard rules or whatever, just one of case-by-case common sense and taking others into consideration. I always do my best to avoid spoiling critical bits for others since to me that feels fair and like the right thing to do, not because I "have" to.

I looked at the Celestial Weapon guide for the FFX Remaster and what the hell was wrong with teenage me that I was willing to dodge lightning 200 times in a row

It's not that noctis or green lantern or whoever acts out of character or is badly written for being like holy poo poo my lady done got murdered offscreen, it's that people write women entirely so they can be murdered offscreen and don't give them characters or personalities or development. With ffxv they actually did try to address this and patched in more Luna scenes, including a big sequence during the climax, so the people defending it might have played it more recently. The fact they had to is pretty damning in itself though

IMO I always appreciated spoiler tags if I was talking about something older in a thread like this that I hadn't experienced but it's not obligatory imo and people should expect spoilers. That said if the only reason an older game from a series is being discussed is because a new person posted saying they'd started it for the first time I'd definitely use spoilers for a while. XIII's story is fine so far but I'm only just starting, instead of a Tidus or Vaan being the fish out of water asking questions they've been replaced with "Press /_\ to view datalog" which is remarkably more efficient if less fun. I think this whiny kid could have done that job though.

Walk in to casual spoilers of the latest game in the series. Oh that's cool I was thinking about picking the game back up but guess I won't bother for awhile longer.

I'm only a dumb lurker, but, yeah, this thread is by far one of the worst in Games about using spoiler tags. I haven't played FF15 because there's still content coming out for it, and I can play more complete games in the meantime. But if the current attitude toward spoilers is going to be the status quo. then I'm fine reading other threads

So I finally picked up XV, and played it for about an hour and it’s real fun. But is it supposed to just START? I mean the boys got sent on the road by the king and now we’re doing bro stuff in hammerhead. Its rad and all, but I feel like I’m missing stuff. Should I watch kingsglaben first or just keep playing? Side note: prissy pants ignis is a rad dude. He makes crispy cheese pizza with golfing gloves and that appeals to me.

The other stuff is neat but what they felt was important got ported into the game, and uh, theyre still adding poo poo to the game to try and make the story flow better. Try not to focus on the story as much as the vibe because the overall theme and its shifts and gameplay mechanics are well tied together, but like on a specific detail level the thing is all over the place.

I played XV about when it came out and I thought "well that got really loving slapdash as soon as we got out of the first big region", and then when I found out I'd been conned into getting an Early Access game I was pretty mad. I guess I'll play through it again once they're actually done making it. What's the status on that?

It's like Other than the people who got tricked into buying the game at launch, before it became widely known that it wasn't finished, who would buy it now? Why wouldn't you just wait until they're actually done with it? They're still patching in (and in some cases, like the Royal Edition poo poo, selling) story content in both beginning, middle, and end of the game's storyline

Base FFXV was a fun game, and the DLC decent to great (Ignis). I'm not really interested in the Royal Edition since most of the changes feel tacked on. "Early access" is hilarious hyperbole. I played it for 140 hours and it felt complete, just with a lighter story than what you're used to. I wish the King had some more scenes though.

In spite of FFXVs many flaws, I am completely here for the modern rural road trip with final fantasy bullshit jammed into it aesthetic. Give me more gaudy diners with FF monsters 30 feet outside or weird mutant giraffes milling around on the side of the road under power lines.

When they announce after the fact that they're going to be patching in more story content in random places within the single-player campaign throughout the next several years, that's Early Access, to me Also: uhhhhhh everything that happens after arriving in Altissia

Raxivace posted:Yeah honestly that absurdly specific aesthetic really, really worked for me as someone that went on a load of roadtrips through the American midwest as a kid, who also liked FF games a lot. Yeah same. I bought 15 when it came out and while it was criminally short, I got 60 hours of solid fun out of it (except the loving sewer dungeon, gently caress that place). I'm probably going to start the DLC soon and maybe do a new game+ so I can use the truck and do some more hunts or whatever.

I actually liked FFXV when it was released but thr post release story patches have all felt really unnecessary and just make the game feel even less finished. Also most of them are hilariously low budget cutscenes

FF7 is like 30 at most unless you're doing the weapons  And the Zack flashback wasn't in the Japanese version. Guess it's early access.

Excluding the character dlcs (at least one of them is heavy on story) which are separate from the main game, yes.

Some scenes have been altered and extended, some new scenes have been added. Most of them are unnecessary unless you're a Wookiepedia editor who must know every little detail.

YoshiOfYellow posted:Vision dies in Infinity War. Vision is my favourite x-man. Rip. FF15 is a video game though, with a lot of other stuff in it besides the main plot. Gameplay systems and mechanics, exploration, side quests, atmosphere, etc. Knowing some details of the plot beforehand doesn't take away from any of those. The same argument doesn't really apply as well to movies and books, but there's still value to be had beyond plot points.
