I played it when it originally came out and Chapter 13 was horrible. Even with that it's one of my favorite final fantasy games. Really got to get back into it and play the DLC been sitting on my ps4 forever finished without doing DLC.

What is the general consensus on FFXV?

The music is great, punished Noctis is great design and the car was kind of cool. Everything else is pretty bad. PC port is good though.
It was once my most anticipated game yet my excitement fizzled away by release time, and I haven't gotten to playing it until this week. Got rid of any prior biases and expectations I had and hopped in.
I just finished chapter 7 and I have to say, it's an enjoyable experience so far. The combat is alright, the interactions within the main cast is great, and it just has this warm vibe that I like. Most of all, the OST is ace.
The biggest thing stopping me from saying it's great is the story. Wtf is going on? I feel like I missed a huge chunk of exposition and I can't get a read on anyone's intentions or goals. I don't even know what the goal of the main cast is. Go get Noctis married with Luna I guess?

That's true, but I think a lot of versus was scrapped, and XV recycled aspects of it. Wasn't the game we got the results of only the last 2 years of development? I think it was destined to be this polarizing given the development. It didn't have a clear vision from start to finish, instead you had a director who had to salvage it doing his best for the game.
It didn't feel like a FF title and should have been named something different IMO. The music and graphics are great but that story is a mess. You can tell that this game suffered from its production hell. I hate the way they did DLC for this game for some reason. I appreciate the patch that fixed the story but they should have just delayed the game to and made sure the product they were putting out was as complete as possible.
i completely agree with this. People have been way too harsh with Tabata. The man had just three years to direct a game and create a cohesive story from scraps, while also making it functional with a completely new engine (and look at the results on Pc!).
I remember that just few months before the release date during Active Time reports they still showed tech demos.
Honestly i'm happy that Tabata is free from Square Enix. No more mad pression coming from fans, no more limitations or rushing things because Square mismanaged the project.
Well, i don't think Tabata and the team decided they were ready to release the game with such rush, but at that point Square Enix just put pression on him to deliver as soon as possible. The game was first announced in 2006 and in 2016 Square just wanted to have Final Fantasy XV ready, no matter what.
This is what I was assuming. I'm sure the updates have added a lot, but with how unfinished it was at launch, I haven't really felt like giving it a second go through. The most incomplete game I've ever finished though, and would still say it's a 7 for the few things it did right it did really well.
