I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

This was a nice surprise for sure! My condolences though, the combat in this game just looks absolutely awful... Did it feel awful as well?

It just got the poo poo kicked out of it in a war, they are super broke right now.

From what I can tell these were the steps.

Noctis Kingdom loses war badly, but manages to secure peace treaty. Part of treaties terms are that Noctis has to marry into one of the Empire's vassal states. While the final meeting about the treaty is about to happen Noct is sent to Tenebreae the vassal state to get ready for his wedding there. Noct's car breaks down on the way.


Also fun fact. Regis is latin for "of the King" so King Regis is "King of the King."

When was this back story ever told to the player? Was it in those paintings? I didn't actually read them in the video so I'm curious.

Something I wanted to mention about the paintings (and combat tutorial as well), did anyone else feel like they were added way late in development? Maybe after they realized 'oh poo poo, we forgot to set up the story and setting'.

Yeah I had no idea a tie-in book or movie existed. I hate when they lean on this supplemental material poo poo, just give me context for the setting in the game. 13 was bad about it too with all those boring codex pages.

e: ^Agreed. The combat could have been taught with pop ups while fighting scorpions.

Man, it's kinda crazy to think about the fact that a game in development for a decade was rushed out the door or ran out of time. It's not surprising, though.
