I have zero interest in this game, but I'm contractually obligated to see it. Thanks for playing it so I don't have to!

These hot boys better loving kiss.
If this happens I will forgive everything else about the game immediately.

I think a story about an out of date boy band on a roadtrip in the south when their car breaks down could have gone a much darker direction, and if this was a western game, I have a feeling it would have.
I think I've seen a porno that starts that way, too.

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'.
Definitely that, or they were in the game for a while but were meant to be replaced with something more elegant later. And it's probably less that they forgot, and more that they ran out of time.

I'm not sure they're necessary. They might even do more harm than good. That whole sequence really fucks up the way the opening is paced, and the game doesn't exactly throw you straight in the deep end to begin with.

I guess it'd be too much to expect Squeenix to go for a "Maureen from Full Throttle" level of sensible design for a female mechanic, but Jesus Christ Cindy :stonk:
Even noted child soldier simulator Valkyria Chronicles 2 managed to do better. 0 points, FF15. Apply yourself.

I find it funny none of the cast have ever heard of a credit card. More so when you consider American Express is one of the product placements.
Maybe the Lucis dollar got the poo poo kicked out of it because of the war, so their credit isn't worth anything.

Is using imperial units for distance a localisation change, or a flavour decision?

Localisation, they're metric in Japan (but not Europe or Australia because, uh, gently caress you).
That's a shame. I was hoping Final Fantasy 16 would be set in Fantasy Tang China and they'd measure everything in li.

Is Noctis invulnerable when your teammates are doing their silly special attacks?
