THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR YOU BARRY

Fucking cancer bitch

final fantasy
ex vee
was a medio core
disappointment

Imagine your party members fucking off and then return and they don’t explain shit.
Imagine later having to exit the game and go to title screen to find out.
Imagine having to pay for it.

How the fuck can anyone defend this.

In his defense, I have nostalgia for good games since they don't seem to make those anymore.

Ebin comeback Xd

Not having the option to manually drive is beyond me but the radio soundtrack was pretty based.

>Weight of the world on repeat

Well its not like real life is driving is any better either. If you wan to offroad get a chocobo.

>>Forgettable soundtrack
I really liked the OST.
If it's any consolation the anime and movie don't make the story any more comprehensible. It's just a really simplistic storyline convoluted by Dune levels of lingo that end up meaningless.
The whole game is just Episode Noctis essentially. Everything is in service of this one character and that's it.
Took Final Fantasy thirty odd years to actually have a character arc.
Shame the gameplay is and will always be shit.
>FFXV hate thread
Why specify XV? Entire series is shallow, nonsensical trash.
>Dude I leveled up lmao, now I can watch a different animation during the ATB that won't actually affect how I play the game or interact with the world
THIS is the return to form people want? Sakaguchi was a hack fraud and everyone who came after him is just worse.

I can tell you only play the newest and shiniest of games. Gonna pre-order the new cowadooby black ops user?

Because that was you last year?

- Game feels poorly conceived on a conceptual level. You cannot have a fun bro trip after your city gets trashed, your father murdered and the most powerful empire on the planet is looking for you.
- What little story and characterization the game had was split over fifty different mediums. Gotta pay for 'em all!
- The game has zero story. The entire first half exists in a vaccum where nothing of note happens until they reach not-Venice and after that it's a linear slog to the end. If anything important does happen it happens off-screen.
- Zero characterization and development. There are no arcs. Every character is exactly the same person by the end of the story except for Noctis, who matures slightly although we see nothing of it because it happens off-screen.
- Banter was clearly a huge focus but the developers, like many developers these days, forget that banter may be entertaining fluff, but fluff all the same. It is not a replacement for actual characterization and development.
- DLC sucks. It's not woven into the main story and instead exists as completely disconnected episodes.
- Combat is garbage and it feels like your own input is often irrelevant.
- On-rails driving.
- A fantasy based on real boredom. Flat empty fields and generic dungeons. And what's with the bizarre darkness everywhere. Were the developers into Silent Hill during development?

>Game feels poorly conceived on a conceptual level. You cannot have a fun bro trip after your city gets trashed
Yeah this feels really odd to me. I always loved the opening of this game but when you find out what happened to the city (like halfway through the game) it retroactively becomes really stupid.

Still mad about what Versus ended up being, i wish Square would make an attempt at this project again but i'm sure they want to stay the fuck away from everything related to the Fabula Nova Crystallis now, also
>That one Dissidia livestream where Nomura said that the word "Versus XIII" was forbidden at Square
never forget

Why do people keep buying Final Fantasy games? It's been over a decade since they made a good one. I'm amazed that so many just seem to accept the standards getting lower and lower and lower but still holding on because of brand loyalty or something.
I saw FFVIIR as their last chance to prove some of the magic is still there, but it only proved just how far they've fallen.

I bought 15 because I liked the demo. It was different from the demo. 7R is my fav numbered FF to date so deal with it fag.

>7R is my fav numbered FF to date
You watched Advent Children before you played FFVII

I now think about Jimbo whenever I see anything related to final fantasy, not just FF7 remake.
I haven't gone a full 24 hours without thinking about Jimbo in over a month.

Nope that shit looks awful. Played original before 7R was announced but not at launch. Its worse than Chrono Trigger, it's worse than 6, but still very good. I don't see 7R as a replacement for the original but still a good story. Good combat. Ending is trash. Nomura is trash. Has less "missing pieces" than 15 does. Even if you don't like the story or combat or whatever at least it feels complete. Last time a FF felt like that was 12 which I also know people don't like.

Story is fine and on-point thematically.

The bro characters and their random repeating banter is better than the dry assfuck that was FF13's characters.

Japanese developers attempt to recreate a Ubisoft open world meme game. The story isn't written or paced properly and requires major investment on the player to read and watch side content before even launching the game. It has nice graphics and that's about it. Someone else will post the press a single button WEBM to win the combat so I'll leave that gameplay department to them. FF15 is what sealed SquareEnix as a has been company and FF7 Remake I never knew how many dumbasses are blinded by nostalgia to think Episode 1 of FF7 is acceptable let alone in its current state with time janitors. FF15 should've been a wake up call to Square but no, they will coast with these shitty writers and gameplay Kingdom Hearts wannabes for years to come.

They became the Japanese equivalent of Bethesda, they can't and are unwilling to admit other developers have surpassed them in JRPGs. Bethesda thinks their quirky bugs and game crashes are endearing with no one else has these significant issues in open world games while SquareEnix thinks their gameplay loop and awful stories are acceptable in this day and age.
