@@TrvisXXIII That's a shame. It's a flawed game, yes, but one I love and enjoyed for it's adventure. If you watch the anime and the movie it might change your mind
After you picked FF15 to make videos on I wondered how you were going to find idle enemies to showcase moves on since you can't use most moves in the open. Glad to see you found a way
it’s bc the magic system for FFXV is stupid (imo) like you’re not even really casting magic, you’re more tossing magical grenades (except for ring spells)
The magic animations in XV were the best of any FF game. I remember being very impressed when i first saw them. I like how much weight the spells feel. They make a big impact.
I've played FFXV for hundreds of hours but nearly never touched the magic - who would've thought it looked so awesome?? 😳 Thanks so much for putting together this video and sharing the greatness with us all~
This game was so good! I got all the achievements, loved that 100 floor dungeon. It was such a blast. Sadly I never played the last dlc because it took a while to come out and I had moved on by then
the Ardyn DLC is pretty good. i played it last year and it does some cool stuff. Teased an alternative timeline/ending that was supposed to play out with the other planned DLC but sadly they never made it.
I went into that dungeon with no clue what it was and having only done the small ones before and i genuinely thought i was going crazy i thought the games was glitched with how long it was, good times
@sky_pirate every final fantasy has some sort of Western culture influence that carries the plot. And nothing was worse than the cringe boy band bachelor party idea.
The magic in this game is amazing, to bad the system to implement it was weird, technically it´s not "magic" per se, since you have to obtain material and combine it into flaks, so characters don´t cast a spell, they throw the flaks to the enemies.
Has a really low rate of hit But was a chance If i recall they did this in the updated when buff the ring because i chapter 13 eas reaally dificult tô use the ring in the lauch game then they updaate and was nice now is easy tô suco the life with holding O and alterna has a chance of insta kill adamantoise remember that if you use you need to get potion
aaaah i miss ff15 so much love this game so much. this was also just really cool to watch, can do some pretty crazy stuff with the magic system. i got a pc upgrade recently, should bust this back out, its so pretty
I’ll be covering Nioh 2 in the near future, but right now I’m focusing on some upcoming new games and may be finishing a few series like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Darksiders 3, and God of War: Ascension.
I love this game. Kept with all its updates since it was announced as FF Versus XIII in 2009. Unfortunate that the last few chapters felt rushed and incomplete. I still wish Episode Noctis one day sees the light
Wow you actually made FFXV videos Looking forwards more After this going trough Stranger of Paradise and Forspoken abilities and movesets would be bice
Basically if the original FFXV game had more time in develoment and could combine all of the DLC into the main story, and all the added gameplay for ignis, prompto gladio and also incorporated Comrades' enhancement systems, I think mostly everyone would have loved the game. It deserves its polarizing reputation but personally i spent a ton of time into it and loved the game. Its not one of my favorite all time Games or even FF games, but it has a special place in my heart. Also i feel most people who play it, kinda miss a lot of things especially when it comes to combat, There is more depth to it than people intially realize.
really liked how all the spells looked in this ff. I dream of a open world final fantasy with gameplay like ff7 remake, with depth like hfw, spells like ff15 and story deep like god of war
wait....i definitely don't remember the spells looking like this. I'd always toss an elemental flask at the enemy and it would do like a slowed screen effect, and the stronger the spell, the more it would affect the whole field. Like, whenever I tossed a flask with firaga, it'd engulf the whole battle area and everyone would be caught on fire.
Miss this game but the loading time lol I bought the game in 2016 on its first day of the release but finished it in 2018 because I was both busy and too lazy 😂

I did the crazy dungeon level and beat omega but have never seen that Alterna spell before. I also don’t recognise the enemy with the round hat. Where is that enemy from? Great game as well. Best side characters.
15 is the the best and the worst experience i've ever had in gaming. It’s such a clusterfuck in almost every regard, but after you're done with it, watched the movie, played all side content and all that... it just rules...
I feel like the promise of the trailers that Versus XIII gave to the players was something that could never become a real game. That trailer was too good to be true, something like that it's not possible to be made for video games.
lmao it's nothing deep. Could have easily been made but the director back then and tabata had creative differences leading the game to undergo development hell
Just finished this game few weeks ago and i say this game has really aged well in terms of graphics, gameplay and characters except story unfortunately. FF music will always be goated no matter what FF game. Not really a big fan of the combat especially Noctis' combat its either a hit or miss for me but the execution of magic spells is the best I've seen in the FF franchise. Overall still a solid 8/10 game from Square Enix despite its issues and controversies pre and post launch.
The Anterna spell looks like a black hole but fun fact that at the moment this game was out, we have not yet took the first real picture of a black hole
i remember using alterna everywhere after i got it (considering it is an endgame item i think it doesnt remove much to the experience it's just fun at that point) i used it in the sewer boss and i was surprised let me tell you that much. didn't think it one shotted bosses too lol
This was my first Final fantasy game because it is open world and never wanted to play the other FF games and i had blast with this game i played nonstop
Tfw I didn't even find out those exist until I beat the game, and gathering mats for them was just so inefficient in comparison to just fighting the enemies with your sword.
Using the Alterna on the Adamantoise looks terrifying. Looks like a black hole or giant solar eclipse in the end.

I'm still blown away by XIII visuals and was upgraded to 60fps
It makes ff7 rebirth look dated.
Fun fact: If you use a blizzard spell while close to a lake or river it freezes the entire body of water
And if you do it while standing on the lake/river, your leg will be stuck 😂
