We may not ever get an actual ending, but, at least we have the Second Annual Lestallum Assassin's Creed™: Origins Festival.

Everything after you get on the train to Niflheim felt really off and disjointed to me, and the last few chapters were where the game's time in development hell became a lot more apparent. There's that story beat about Prompto actually being some kind of magitek robot that doesn't have much of an impact at all on the story and it seemed like something that was originally meant to be more important, but got shelved. I was buttmad that you never actually got to visit that pretty floating forest island kingdom that Luna comes from and it basically exists to get blown up in a brief cutscene. I was expecting Insomnia to be a lot more of a challenging and sprawling final dungeon than it ended up being, especially since most of the dungeons you go to earlier in the game were longer and felt more coherent. There were bits and pieces of some subplot that suddenly popped into the story about some old war between Shiva and Ifrit that seemed interesting, but it also felt like yet another thing that was meant to be more important but got mostly scrapped. You don't even get to find out if your friends survived or if they died offscreen fighting a bunch of mid level enemies, which really REALLY irked me. Overall, the entire last act felt like some kind of weird alpha build with chunks haphazardly cut out at random intervals... But at least the last fight with Ardyn was cool, and that mid-credits scene with the flashback at the camp was really really good.

The game is about noctis and I think leaving aspects of the story to interpretation makes it more enjoyable and keeps it well paced. I think explaining everything in detail is lazy storytelling. XV actually does storytelling and character development really well imo The ending was great and the final parts of the game moved along quickly outside of the niflheim parts.

I thought the broad strokes storytelling was really cool, it was like playing a game version of a tone poem where all the emotional content is there but in the most extreme compact form. It also made it so that all the meaningful interactions you see in the game are just these four guys bullshitting with each other, which is a real powerful philosophy for storytelling in my opinion

The ending made me cry like a bitch so the game def did its job well on making me care about the characters. The story seemed ... good? for what was there. Noctis' journey was well done but the broad strokes are def lacking. It's a very obviously unfinished game that still somehow manages to get its main job done well imo.

Daikatana Ritsu posted:It's crazy how they made a good new mainline FF game and sunk it in a mire of bad management fueled by greed. FFXV is a good game, it doesn't need 30 spinoffs. The world also doesn't need a FF7 remake but that didn't stop them from bleeding money into it. agreed. although i would play the remake if it ever comes out

I kind of agree with Lumpy that the main story of XV feels needlessly depressing and rushed, particularly the weird time jump. I mostly played it because the camping and hunting was fun, all the stuff about the magic ghost dads just didn't work for me, I dunno. It has an ending, it just feels rushed, and the tone of the story didn't match what you spent most of the game doing.

I think it has a better ending than most other Final Fantasy games. I didn’t like Chapter 13 from a gameplay perspective the first time through but my stance on it has softened since then.

The mid credits scene is probably my favorite moment in any FF game. For a series that usually operates at a scale of maximalist melodrama it was surprisingly muted and earnest...I loved it

The back half of that game certainly had some issues but 15 was a fantastic surprise as a whole.

I haven't played it in 2 years so idk for sure but I'm fairly certain poo poo hits the fan about halfway through the game and only gets worse. Isn't Ignis blind for most of the 2nd half? Not remembering the neck breaking tonal shift you're talking about

noctis was sent off to marry his girlfriend to be protected from the horrors of the potential war, hes living in a daydream in a decaying world, it makes sense it all falls apart once the marriage is ruined

To be fair, the whole snowy area of the empire was originally planned to be another explorable region as was, I think, the setting for the final few chapters. They added stuff for the actual final chapter in the Royal Edition so it's longer than it once was but it's still tiny I like the final parts a lot but it's certainly pretty clear a bunch of stuff was cut when you play through it corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Nov 9, 2018 |

the timeskip is actually my primary complaint, but I guess I'm quibbling with a series that frequently uses amnesia as a plot point, so w/e. it's a good game either way.
