    So I haven't done Adamantoise yet and I still need to do the part 2s of the dungeons and the hidden dungeon as well... I've collected the end game weapons from Randolph though and killed the lvl 120 Naglfar. Might not even get back to it kinda lost interest for now. Especially when the updates provide s--- like this:


    "The Holiday Pack includes a number of optional items including accessories that make it easier to obtain items, items that eliminate stamina cost and tickets for a carnival set for late January. The Carnival Style outfit will also be available in January.

    Holiday Pack Plus

    A bunch of accessories helpful for playing FFXV and a pack of carnival tickets for the January event.
    Accessories include:


    Protect Ring
    Command Booster (Only for Noctis)
    Phantom Booster (Only for Noctis)
    Instant k--- Victory Song

    Stamina Anchor (Only for Noctis)
    Carnival Style (Only for Noctis)

    What a crazy way to end a game that's been waited on for 10 years. Game is half complete and somehow they can continue to waste resources on this type of s--- instead of working on a fix. I get game dev doesn't work like that but honestly... someone was paid to make this.

    10 year wait for a game that took maximum 2 and a half years development time :wow2:

    compared to other final fantasies my thoughts on the story start-finish is pretty much that it's the most unsatisfying FF i've played in terms of story, but it's also the most tragic in the series.

    Noctis spends his whole life learning and being taught/told "your gonna grow up, marry luna and become the king! and live happily ever after!" when he reaches a certain age though, his father is given more and more visions of the future and Noctis' future. The king realizes the only hope for humanity/to save his son is to keep it hidden from him and tell his son to f--- off and meet Luna. Noctis f---s off all happy go lucky expecting to marry Luna after a road-trip with some bros, but instead finds out his entire home's been destroyed and his father killed. from prince to homeless over night. Noctis having no f---ing idea wtf is going on, is slowly told bits and pieces of his apparent destiny and Noctis isn't even sure if he accepts it, but cause he's lost all sense of direction he continues on doing these insane things like gathering the power of the titans and taking on nifflheim head-first at any chance due to his rage of them destroying his home. As Noctis progresses through these things, he seems almost just one step behind Luna and so close to her, but so far off at the same time. When Noct finally ends up in the same city, it's on lockdown and the only way Noct can see her is while she's making a public speech. after this she rushes off to give her final bit of help and summon the Leviathan so you may claim its powers, but instead of things going to plan, Luna is killed by Ardyn to fuel Noct's rage so that Noct will seek out revenge - putting Ardyn the immortal out of his misery after a thousand years. "they played us like a d--- fiddle" Fast forward to the end of the game and you find Ardyn was the first "chosen" king, destined to remove darkness from the world at the cost of becoming a demon himself. after 1000 years he goes insane and decides immortality isn't good and he wants to do and the only way he can do it is if he makes someone in his image. This is where Noct comes in. Even though you go through all these trials and tribulations to reach the crystal in the hopes of restoring the wall, driving out the demons, and restoring the world. Instead Ardyn sees Noctis is still too weak, so he uses the crystal as a trap to absorb noct and help Noct gain his full power. Noct emerges from the Crystal 10 yrs later when the world is completely f-----, complete darkness and just ruined. he goes to fight Ardyn but it's all futile though because Ardyn's immortal and Noct realizes the only option is to speak to the past kings. The past kings give Noct the power to k--- Ardyn, at the cost of Noctis' life.

    So instead of going with his bros to get married and live happily ever after, Noctis instead has to k--- himself to save the entire world. That's f---ing tragic. I think it's a good story, but like I said a very very unsatisfying ending.

    Also anyone notice that Ifrit is actually Nyx from Kingsglaive? (not 100% sure if true, but they have the same scars on their shoulder/arm and at the start of Kingsglaive theres a scene where Nyx is playing with fire on the couch)

    just bought this and watch dogs 2 on sale on psn
    this was 33% off and WD2 was 40% off so it basically came out to getting 1 game for free just about. hoping this will be good despite the faggy character design, never played an FF before and like I said I didn't like the platinum demo but meh who cares. higher hopes for this than WD2 anyway

    Not better than witcher 3, sadly. Maybe 2 more years Dev time and it'd be on par

    Wasn't the game for 10 years in development already?
    to be fair Witcher 3 set the bar really really high especially with its 2 amazing addons.
    10/10 Game

    Sorta. The "10 year" thing is missleading. So.e Tabata/Nomura guy made the ffxiii-versus game for last gen consoles, the other dude picked it up a couple years back and took over, rebuilding it for current gen. So in the end of the 10 year wait we got a game that took 2 and a half years to make.

    am i missing anything if i go on from the first area? like, i got to the part where i'm like 2 main story missions in, i got all the dog tags for the side missions so far, but they're talking about a ferry and going to a new area
    there still seems like there's so much more in this area tho
    am i missing out by progressing? is it like the witcher where instead of 1 open world it's 3 or 4 huge open areas that you can go between? or can i come back later and explore further

    f---ing open world games are so stressful mang

    >use lightning spell while standing in a puddle
    >the water conducts electricity and shocks anything standing in it

    :banderas: i love games with attention to detail like that, unfortunately i was standing in the water with my whole party when it happened because i wasn't expecting it to actually conduct :wellsht:

    Wait till you accidentally set fire to the entire fields and burn yourself from firaga lol. In response to your other post this dickhead did not release you can talk to the dog and just go anywhere at any time so I started playing a new save as I thought I couldn't go back from the point I was at
