Dragon Quest anything outsells both Persona and FF in Japan (even Dragon Quest Musou basically outsold P5 in its first week) so you can't really say sales as an indicator of quality

Also the console scene in Japan is collapsing hard so basically anything on consoles is going to look gutted.

Knack was literally the highest selling Ps4 game for 2 years in Japan until basically dragon quest heroes came out

FF15 main story is geared towards the average player who are bad at games. Most people I've seen that have never really played action games struggled like hell in the last couple of chapters.

The thing is, your opinion is less objective than you think it is. It really is all personal taste. I've seen many posts of yours voicing complaints, which is cool, but I don't share those complaints necessarily. It is a subjective thing.

You say Persona 5 "is" cohesive, because it's up your alley and you have less complaints. It still may be apples and oranges comparing the two games like they're going for the same things

It is not subjective to say FF15 is a less stitched together game

MGSV had an rear end, abrupt ending, that's what soured me on it. Also a huge mother loving hanging plot thread with liquid. I said it before, but FF15 is completely saved from I like it to love it by its ending.

There's a lot of evidence that Tabata was more of an actual project manager on third birthday compared to Type 0 and Crisis Core. I always associated 3rd Birthday as more of a Toriyama joint.

To be fair, we've only seen them use the phones for... well, calling people. No evidence of any other functionality on it so far.

Also, outside of the game, a designer wants you to buy his officially licensed clothes and Audi wanted to sell a Regalia abomination to anyone with obscene amounts of money and no sense whatsoever (so saudi princes, I guess). This is why it's proper to say the game has been in development for 10 years and to laugh at any idiot who says the game has been in development for 3 years only.

That's some good 3rd grade marketing logic

Really there's no reason for them to have cut content for DLC other than money. They spent 10 years making the drat game (I know technically 3 or whatever) so there's no "not enough time" excuse.

90% of the reveal trailer 3 years ago is not in the game. They had less time to make this game than most current triple a games.

You can ignore crafting entirely in Witcher 3 and easily break the combat portion part of the game. That's what I did on the 2nd hardest difficulty.

Also Japan doesn't really give a gently caress about FF nearly as much as Dragon Quest. Like, Dragon Quest musou games sell better than FF15. It's just a culture thing.

I gave up Witcher 3 my first time because I tried to play it "the right way" by crafting and using the guard button at the right time.

Second try, ignored everything about crafting, alchemy, and just spammed the short dodge button and the game was much more fun. You're just a red mage galloping the lands and the loot scales enough to be good even on the 2nd hardest difficulty.

The combat in 12 is just automated ATB without the interesting mechanics like staggering in 13 or interesting boss phases like 14

but some people love ATB no matter what so meh.

I played FFXI for a while and quit because of what I'll call "hurry up and wait". It just always seemed like a massive slog and I was a RDM so I know I speak as a class that was required by everyone. Another thing that annoyed me was I liked subbing BLM but basically everyone wanted me to be subbing NIN which I hated playing as.

I say all this to ask how does XIV compare? I've often said that XI taught me a lesson about MMOs forever. If that's just how MMOs are fine MMOs aren't for me I'm just curious as to whether it's any friendlier to people.

E: also holy crap I forgot how much goddamned time I spent farming margwort to make sweet rice cakes just to make a little money in that damned game. Oops I faced the wrong direction lost a bunch of ingredients yayyyyy

11 is almost nothing like 14, 11 is more like everquest while 14 is super streamlined WoW except you can change into any class at any time and literally any combination of dps/tank/healer can win a fight.

I'm at the very end of the game, gearing up to return to Insomnia, and I'm only just now realizing that I'm total garbo at the battle system. Enemies regularly hit for 1/4~1/2 of my HP (which when you have like 1.5k, is only like mid-300s), and I constantly get clowned on and hit into the Danger zone. Items are the only things keeping me alive. Is there some trick to avoiding damage that I'm missing, or is it just a matter of stacking vitality or something? My usual FF strategies are totally useless here and I'm confused as hell.

Dodge, it's an action game.

about that end scene
That scene of the boyfriends around the campfire, from what I got, is before they went to confront Ardyn in Crown City. It was to cement the feels by showing that Noct wanted to say something to the boyfriends about how amazing they have been. Kind of a last hurrah. And now that I think about it, the scene where they banish him from the crystal makes more sense if they are all dead. They showed pretty much everyone that had died during the game and the boyfriends were there too. Which now makes me even more sad.

No, I'm talking about the scene where the 3 guys have a last stand against Iron Giants while Noctis goes up and Knights of the Round himself
