OP please keep us posted on your thoughts. The main story itself is super short (and super easy).
Lol I love how they didnt explain at all what touching those stupid stones were for and then randomly you can summon.
I'm trying to imagine how things could get that much worse because I seriously have no idea what is happening besides two countries at war
Its hot fucking trash littered with like two good scenes. My hatred towards the game just seems to grow and grow as time passes..
Oh... and wait till you get to the Leviathan fight. I always thought to myself "it cant possibly be as bad as people say." Let me tell you, it is. It is worse than what people tell you.
And in the later chapters you get to fight the hardest boss fight in the series: corridors. Its not that the segment is hard, its just the most tedious 2 hour copy pasted corridor segment you have ever "experienced."
Wrong Jared. XV Jared impacted all our lives for the better.
The fact that this isn't a joke makes me sad. :(BUT IT WILL MAKE SENSE
If you read the light novel, watch the YouTube miniseries, sit down for the prologue and theatrical movie, get the demo, grab the DLC, and play the game again 2 years later for more scenes. >___>
Were the wounds Gladius suffered ever explained? In his DLC maybe?
Are you being sarcastic? Someone has to play that long to decide whether they like it or not? lolYou are on chapter 5. At least wait till 13 before you hop on the hate train.
Come on now, Noctis is unimportant? Group exist as companions that share the same misadventures, but the plot revolves all around Noctis and that's clear from the very beginning.You know that's right!
-_-
I think my main problem is that the main group are so unimportant to everything else that's going on, and it's really bizarre. You just happen to stumble into the plot, almost like the bit on Forest Gump where he's going into all the key real life moments.

This is a game where, basically six months before release, according to a 4chan leaker who leaked the entire plot, the story was in disarray with constant rewrites. All those flashback scenes? They were created late in development, and they didn't really know what to do with them so they just stuck them wherever they'd fit. I know games go off the rails sometimes. But FFXV was really, really, really off the rails.
Also, yes, JARED. Freaking Jared. Everything wrong with FFXV's approach to story and utterly disconnected narrative arcs can be summed up with Jared.
It's crazy how much better Omen was than the actual game. Final Fantasy XV was a game badly in need of a complete reboot. And possibly being handed off to a completely different studio. It shouldn't have been in development for so long with such fundamental structural problems and a lack of narrative direction afflicting it.
You should really play it yourself. Main story can be completed in just 20-25 hoursEvery now and then I think to myself maybe I should give FFXV a shot and then a thread like this one pops up and I read about the story being a hot mess (and story is pretty much what drives me to play Final Fantasy) and I think maybe not.
You shouldn't because it's a bad game really bad not goodEvery now and then I think to myself maybe I should give FFXV a shot and then a thread like this one pops up and I read about the story being a hot mess (and story is pretty much what drives me to play Final Fantasy) and I think maybe not.
Doesn't help that I also don't think the game is enjoyable to even play. Coupled with an incoherent story, this game is one of the worst I've played in recent years.Every now and then I think to myself maybe I should give FFXV a shot and then a thread like this one pops up and I read about the story being a hot mess (and story is pretty much what drives me to play Final Fantasy) and I think maybe not.
My favourite thing in this stupid mess of a game is Noctis and Luna communicating through writing notes through magic dog messengers despite cell phones existing in this world
Just you wait my sweet child, once you hit the endless corridor bonanza of chapter 13.Lmao praise be to Jared, just starting up chapter 6
Edit oh god this stealth mission is horrendous
Man just wait until party members start to go off on their own 1 by 1 and come back an hour / 2 hours later with a new scar and NOTHING is talked about / explained regarding their absence unless you play the DLC. And then also try and remember that we didn't get the DLC until months and months after many of us already completed the game. And then remember that the final chapter of the game was literally changed with the Royal edition (same ending, but the lead up to it was significantly changed).
What a fucking mess.
Nah that's literally what happened in the main game months before the Gladio DLC was added in. In fact, even if you have the DLC, the Gladio portion was never added in to the base game. You'll have to know beforehand to exit back to the main menu and play the DLC separately yourself, or finish the game and play the DLC later afterwards.I just had gladio leave "to take care of business". It was so random that I assumed they added it with the DLC and it was different before...
