@QUEENDOM I’d say you spend enough time with the core bois to develop some attachment. More development was needed for everyone, yes, but I think their bond felt pretty legit.
It's not terrible. Final Fantasy XV was the first PS4 game I played. For me It's kind of a tradition to buy a Playstation console along with a copy of the latest Final Fantasy game. I bought my PS3 with a copy of Final Fantasy XIII
XV was my first Final Fantasy game and honestly, my eyes started to hurt because I shed so many tears while playing through it the first time. I can understand where the criticism comes from with the story being off at times. But, I feel like this game mainly deals with you developing a strong bond with the characters and have you feel for them rather than the story around them - if that makes sense. I’m an emotional sap and it worked. The ending was truly a bittersweet one... 😭😭😭
I hear way too little about how good a job Noctis’ Voice Actor did in this game’s English Dub. He almost never sounded corny, especially when delivering lines he so easily could’ve come off as such. 10/10 Voice Acting.
Thank you for making me relive the emotions that this game brought me. This game released 3 weeks after my own father died so it has a very special meaning to me. It helped me live through the pain of losing him. I even tattooed the Sword of the father and the words ''walk tall'' on my forearm. Makes me happy everytime I see somebody enjoying this game like this. Here's hoping to the same emotions for FF16!
Sorry for your loss. At leas you liked this game. I was very disappointed. My father died a couple years ago from dementia complications. I can't watch Logan anymore, because Porf. X reminds me of my dad losing his mind before death.
Honestly i get you. I wanted to to be sadder. But my feelings were negated by hiw disappoingly short the story campaign was. This was back before all the dlc. Granted still loved the game and i have almost 200hrs in it and now im finally going back to play with all the dlc. Such a fun game!
@@kaedo-2740 4 of them. What Gladio was doing when he left, how ignes lost his eyesight (and leading you to alternative ending), what Prompto did to end up in the facility after the train, and the villains story. They also have fun side missions they added in updates including a new summon with a fun ff14 crossover
Idc what anyone says, this was one of the most heartfelt campaigns of any game ive ever played. The little things like seeing your saved pictures in the game and end credits, the bond of friendships, this game wasnt a game, felt like a damn movie
@@C0astDelta Got better once they patched shit and sadly, the DLCs got implemented. The starting story felt so meh because so much was left out so you sort of had to full in the blanks. Once everything's pieced together it's a competent-great FF story, but well that's another timeline's luxury.
@@ruxis2563 IMO they could've really nailed the father son relationship better with more material on Regis' past and how he brought up Noctis. Royalty is the core theme but I feel like family would've been a really strong one as well. Also would've tied in Lunafreya as a close family friend Noctis would've grown to see in a romantic light.
@@C0astDelta I agree, though I feel Lunafreya was the one that 'desperately' needed more material throughout the game and/or interactions with Noct. Dunno if with the patches to the 'main' game assisted in at least putting a plaster on that problem or not, but when I played it I had very little emotional connection to her by the time she gets killed. I did get emotional at the goodbye cinematic but that's because I was attached to NOCTIS, not her, ya know.
I literally stayed staring at the tittle screen after the ending for a good 10 minutes. Seeing the new tittle screen and the song playing broke me more. I can’t play this game anymore because I know how it ends 😭
Hint - this is Noctis' ordained fate, but it's not the end of the story--nor his only possible fate. If you haven't finished all the DLC or the book - keep playing!
The game had flaws, for sure, but the journey with Noctis, and the boys was fantastic, and their dynamic together was amazing. The ending scene around the campfire broke me, for several days. I absolutely love this game, flaws and all.
@@kaedo-2740 yeah same here. I got choked up when you realize what the picture you picked meant, and then the after credits scene. Once stand by me played, I was crushed. That's why I loved this game, as the group felt pretty authentic
Oh man, a lot of these clips definitely hit me in the feels all over again. Something that FFXV shares close with me is while I was playing it while it came out, my father was sick and passed away in early 2017, I took care of him in late 2016 while I played this game he would watch me and the cutscenes and comment on how stunning the technology has become. After he passed in sprign 2017 I finally beat the game and all I could think about was him watching me play and if we was watching me when the credits rolled. Despite the reviews and critics I have a special place for this game to myself because of my own experience. I really can't wait for FFXVI :)
Damn man. Sorry about your father. I loved this game too for personal reasons as well. Critics be damned, i spent over a hundred hours in it. Something about FF games just seem to come out at the right moment.
Why? They barely developed Luna. In fact in the original game, Noctis was supposed to kill Luna. And it’s still a real alternate timeline. In this one, it’s Ardyn.
honestly same i played it this summer and when i finished it i was so sad yet AMAZED how i literally fell in love with all of the characters and the their world!!! and i even bought the version with most of the DLC's and still wanted more also what's your opinion on the ignis DLC alternate ending ? (if you played it lol)
@@melz4766 I like the alternate ending too! I am a sucker for happy endings ( especially with characters that I love) so yeah it's nice! The original ending is sad but bittersweet; especially for Noctis and Luna (destroyed me) so I personally prefer it more. I wouldn't be mad if the alternate ending was the true one but it wouldn't be as memorable for me unless we got more absent Noctis-time skip details.
Acctually the real end of the game would be in the three last DLC's: Noctis, Luna and Aranea. Square cancel these dlc's and release a book with the content called Dawn of the Future.
Yea same, the story is great despite its flaws, this could have been legendary if it was handled correctly but I still love and had fun with it. I like the characters, their moments while traveling are awesom, the whole bodyguards turned brotherhood theme is really great in this game.
I wish I could. I have tried twice to complete the game. The furthest I got was when they descend into the cave with blind.... cooking guy. Since I had to walk to avoid losing him in a dark and uninteresting location I said I've had enough and never got back to it. The whole time I was playing the game I was thinking "I want to play the hero from Kings glaive". I liked the concept and attempt from 15, but they failed on the execution. The gameplay wasn't terribly interesting. The characters were pretty bland, and the story had moments, but wasn't good enough to keep me hooked. I did like the exploration and the world though. But I will say I am very glad you enjoyed it Magnus. It legitimately makes me happy when people can enjoy something. I wish I could have enjoyed this game, but it just wasn't for me. So I'll enjoy the rest of the series. Well aside from 13 (for the most part).
@@PenguinsAreColdish You are the one suffering far more than me. You are the one who doesn't know better and has never got to experience quality content. But ignorance is bliss as the adage goes. At least you got your pokemon go and ffxv. I hear cyberpunk and no mans sky are out now too if you are old enough lil snotter.
This just kinda kills me. Tabata was really turning 15 into something really good. He had another 3 chapters planned but “creative differences” and he left square.
I still don't understand the "hate" for this game. It pulled on my heart strings and truly gave me the feeling of adventure. One of the best journeys I've ever taken
One thing I will admit imo it wasn't exactly great at telling the story. For example it's not exactly clear about the fact that weeks have passed between Altissia and the train (hence Gladio's frustration with Noct's focus still clouded) or the fact that there's so many diff forms of media you have to read or watch in order to get the full story. Amazing story but yeah
maybe because you can pimp your car, take pictures and cook with a big smile when your whole country is going to hell and your best bro just lost his father
Not sure if you played it early on but it was a bit of a mess. Felt very unfinished and took a lot of guess work to peice things together. It got better with updates and Royal but knowing that it will never be truelly finished kind of hurts. Not to mention its troubled development and the potential game that it could have been makes it kinda hurt. I love the game that we got but it could have been so much better and so much sooner too. Cus getting the almost finished game 2 years after release is kinda sucky.
"You gonna make me emotional about a car?" Like- daaaaaaamn, this game is really good at building the emotion for the right moments. The first half of the game was definitely the embodiment of "FUN". The quality of fun time you spent with the bros was flipped into this deep sadness by the second half. Regalia was there the entire time you had fun exploring Lucis. And after making Ignis went blind and pushing Prompto, they even 'killed' the god damn CAR. It's a hell of train-wrecking emotions right thereeeeee.
There is no such a thing as “Perfect Game”. each game has its own flaws because they are being made by humans and Humans are not perfect. You are not perfect too. I suggest you stop looking for flaws in a game, try to have fun and enjoy it. Final fantasy XV is awesome and it has a lot of 10/10 moments. Last campfire is just one of them.
No, 8/10 is a good mark, but 10/10? Is nlt at the level of of Read dead redemption 2 or The Witcher 3, it doesn't deserve the 9. And I am being generous, because this game ha a lot of hate and for a Final Fantasy game this was really bad. For me it was a enjoyable game, really inmersive, but bad story, bad world (big and beautiful, but really death. Not too many people or events), bad quest, bad camera for the combat, they have sold you DLCs to try to fix the shit that they did with the story... Yhea, I don't hate the game, I have good memories with it, but being objective is not a 9 game
The whole ending was very emotional, but honestly where it really struck me was during the end credits when the song "Stand by me" starts again and it shows you everything that you experienced with your crew through these many hours of play... The game might not be perfect, but the things that it did good, it did really well and better than most games out there.
I just finished playing FFXV and the ending crushed me. I just remember getting to the end where they show the sun rising, being ‘annoyed’ because I was still balling my eyes out and verbally saying out loud ‘I don’t care about the sun I’m sad’, then realizing what that represented, and immediately started sobbing again.
Seriously. I've played this game four times. That campfire scene made me cry my eyes out as a grown ass man each time. Such a powerful scene. Such admirable voice acting. Anyone that said this game was bad should be forever ignored.
dude legit i beat this game with my best friend around and i was _STRUGGLING_ not to burst into tears when that ending hit. i absolutely _refuse_ to listen to Stand By Me out of abject fear of suffering a spontaneous emotional breakdown.
Prompto's scene on the roof with Noctis hit me so hard. That was exactly the kind of way I felt as a kid growing up sometimes and it sucked. Though once I grew up some more, learned who my true friends are and what real friendship means that I stopped feeling that pressure and could just relax with being myself with people who actually gave a shit.
Final fantasy XV was one of the most well Liked/Hated games of all time. When it was first released it was really buggy and lacked a lot of content. The Royal Editon added a ton of stuff to it and fortunately for me the Royal Editon was how I played it for the first time. I thought the game was an absolute masterpiece and one of the 6 or 7 best games of the PS4 generation.
I'm not going to lie, I played through this not long ago, and I was fine the ENTIRE GAME, and just lost it at the end. When I had to pick the photo, I cried as I looked through them all.... I knew where EVERY ONE had come from, and what we had been doing when it had been taken. And then I just silently cried when the Ring of Lucii disintegrated.
This game meant a lot to me, too. I cried just as hard and just as often. Not just because I loved the story and grew incredibly attached to the characters, but because of what the FF series represents in my life. FF 3/6 on the SNES is what got me into gaming as a whole. I had played other games before it, but never a game like an RPG before. My older cousin, who I idolized beyond belief, showed me the series and let me watch him play it when I was very little. It opened a door into gaming for me and I was forever changed. Sadly, he was murdered two years ago, and I still haven't recovered. To be honest, I don't know if he actually got to play FFXV at any point before he died, because we never spoke about it, but playing through the game reminds me of him so much, and what FF meant to us as family. The ending of this game makes me think of him every time, and when Noctis says goodbye to his friends, I lose it for a solid 24 hours. I wish I could talk about the game with my cousin; I would give just about anything to just sit and watch him play through 15 the way I watched him play through 3/6 when we were little. What can I say? This game is the best.
I finished the game yesterday and during 75 hours of campaign I finish it, this game made me real Sad, it made me think about my friends and my family. I cried a lot with the final scenes of the bros, and when the music started showing all my journey, was the moment it broke me. Is kinda weird but this game made me feel that i was noctis and i was with my friends chilling in a journey, but the last moments were difficult because i didn’t wanted that the journey end, leaving my friends. But the saddest part for me is when noctis confesses to them his faith and that he loves them. Man i was crying so hard. It was a very beautiful game, and the story so beautiful that I thought i was noctis and the boys were my boys. Shit…
i tried to play this game several times but could never get into it. During the lockdown when I had no job i decided to give it another shot. 3 days and 45 in game hours and i really enjoyed it. It is by far my favorite story game i have played.
Because it really does have HUGE flaws?... It's not really smart to just dissmiss FF15 bad parts. Especialy how the story just goess off the rails in the 2nd half...
@@ArioDragon it's a great game held back by a lot of flaws. The hate is eye rolling though, mainly when people call it a bad game. Anthem is a bad game. FFXV is a really good to maybe a great game, depending on how much the flaws bother you.
@@Arsio12 the storytelling could have been better. I cannot even remember what the hell I was doing. Also Noct comes back after all them years and everyone's just like "sup". Wtf
@@Arsio12 If FF15 would be just bad it wouldn't hurt so much. Instead it's dissapointing. It could be so much more! But Square fucked up so much durning it's development, and changed things alot, many times. All to make a quick buck. Square of today has really stooped too low...
I just finished this game last week and I can't stop thinking about it and getting emotional, so instead of trying to move on, I'm watching all the reaction and tribute videos I can find, lol. Glad I'm not alone in this game wrecking me. Thanks for sharing.
Had almost the same reaction as you, It took over thirty minutes to overcome the intense snot nosed crying fest I had and well over a week to where I could hear the ending song without crying my eyes out. Btw prompto is my first choice for fave character from this game #sorrynotsorry (litteraly every single selfie that prompto took, noctus complained about it and he would say that. I had so many laughs with these boys) loved watching this and then cried along with you!
Ff15 was definitely a fun game. Flawed in quite a few parts, but still really enjoyable, with it's world, combat and characters. It sucks the leftover dlc was cancelled, but it's still quite enjoyable with what we got, and hopefully 16 does well too. Also, it's alternate name, *MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE FT. THE ULTIMATE CUP NOODLE EXPERIENCE*
@Zac Atkinson Sorry in advance for the essay: I know many people do have it as their favourite. Even my favourite RPG has things that could be improved. Personally, FF15 goes beyond that sentiment. There were so many good pieces, but the way they were put together left me longing for the potential the story had rather than feel like what we got was enough to overcome that. Given the game's development history, that's entirely unsurprising to me, and it hurts thinking of what could have been without the turmoil. And I don't just mean Vs. XIII. While I would be interested in seeing those ideas as a finished product (unlikely), what I mean is that FFXV in its final form didn't have enough time for iteration once its new direction was set. I love the pieces, and I really did want the overall product to share that love. There's so much good stuff in there that it feels like FFXV is _thiiis_ close to being truly amazing for me, but far off at the same time. Taking an example, when I watch Altissia play out, I can feel myself trying desperately to be heartbroken. She's a great character who didn't get her fair share of bonding time, neither with me, nor Noctis. The fact that her relationship with Noctis is set up so artificially makes it really hard to feel that extra heartbreak through Noctis. The whole sequence is epic even without context, but it lacks the buildup that it needs to stab me in the feels, which is everything I want out of a story. As a quick example there, Xenoblade spends half the game hyping up a point in the story. That's incredible buildup. And then when I finally got there with my high expectations and hype, it went even beyond those and got me even more invested for what came next. Later on when I was further toward the end, the outstanding mysteries and the anticipation of what was going to happen next caused me to put sidequests on hold and marathon the story, which is a very impressive accomplishment. It's rather unfair for me to expect that from any other game, but I feel like it captures the direction I really look for. Going to a different place, the world of Eos has a hell of a lore behind it. Ever since I learned about said lore, I wanted more. Sadly, what we get in the cool lore department is primarily the (very abstract) Pitioss dungeon. The lore is great for putting the narrative into perspective, but I feel we didn't get a whole lot. The scene on the train wasn't in the game initially, and credit for adding more lore to the story, though the canon this scene established did run contrary to (imo) some really cool alternate theories. In general, the kind of worldbuilding and whole-game mystery you get from the lore in RPGs gives something to get invested in for the whole game on top of the plot. Take Spira in FFX, as you progress through the story, you learn more about the world and the people in it. The world itself holds mysteries like the nature of Sin. That provides extra excitement for continuing the plot and extra motivation to talk to NPCs like Maechen. FFXV has so much opportunity there, but I don't feel that it was worked into the game nearly as much as it could have or should have been for a pillar of RPG storytelling. And then worldbuilding aside, there are characters that you want to love, but the game gives you so little time to bond with them and get invested. Of course I don't mean the main bros, but almost every other character was like this for me. Aranea was the one character that I feel the game gave some due time for her role, and Luna to some extent, but hers leaves my logical side too concerned over her _current_ relationship with Noctis. Ardyn goes so much deeper than what he appears, and it's a shame most people will never know that. Regis was definitely someone who I feel is important enough that we _need_ to be invested in him and his relationship with Noctis. Sadly, even the supplementary materials don't go as far as Regis deserves. Anyway, this is going to get more rambly as I go and I never did like English class, so I can't be bothered to spend extra hours making it cohesive.
What’s interesting is that I spent most of the game fairly indifferent to the story and finding the characters, while likable, not very gripping. I thought that the actual plot was interesting and the world was compelling, but that the storytelling was just off. Like I was always about 10 minutes behind the B plot and important things always happened right before I got anywhere. It drove me crazy. I also didn’t love the gameplay. But something about the game just kept me playing. It may even have just been the love of the franchise. And then, out of nowhere, the ending totally wrecked me. It just hit on every level and I cared about these characters in ways I hadn’t before. It also slightly recontextualized my journey with these guys, and moments where I hadn’t previously been engaged I then looked back on with fondness. It was weird, and I still can’t fully explain why, but the ending ended up really redeeming the main game for me. As did the later story patches and DLCs. So, yeah, my relationship with XV is a bit complicated.
Me and my gf played through this she cried hard when Luna died and we cried together when noctis died never been so emotionally invested in a game in all my life
You played around the same time I did. It was my first ever time playing a "Final Fantasy" game, and even to this day. Just watching the ending scenes make me cry. Final Fantasy XV has had such an impact on me, and even though I cry, it was worth every moment, with these four lovable characters.
Me personally, this is my second favorite FINAL FANTASY game next to FF7. I love this game and the open world is so much I felt overwhelmed in a good way. I had to put 120+ hrs and get platinum trophy haha
I think what ruined this game was the long hype up around it, expectations were set way too high by fans and creators alike but even with that said I loved the game and put it in my top 5. In order it would have to be... 1)ff7 2)ff10 3)ff15 4)ff7 crisis core 5)ff8
Love this game too, 200+ hours for me. That said though, it's a little more in the middle for me for best FF game (for the record, played all mainline FF games except 3, 11 and 12) 1) 9 2) 6 3) 7 4) 14 5) 8 6) 15
This was the first Final Fantasy game that I've ever played. I finally figured I'd try a FF game out since my friend has been poking at me to play it. It surely didn't disappoint! Sure, the game has it's flaws, but I love it just the way it is. One of my best gaming experiences. This is literally the first game that has ever made me cry and even openly sob. My mom was asking if I was alright because I was just sobbing like a baby at like 2 in the morning at the end, lol. I enjoyed watching your reactions to it! Made me relive it and want to pop the game back out to hang out with The Backstreet Boys again!
Final fantasy XV was a enjoyable game, also-ran my first Final Fantasy and one my first open world games. But not one of my favorite experiences, FFXV for me was like playing AC Origins (my first Assasin'Creed), enjoyable, spend a lot of time with them, get me impressed by the map and ambient... But that's all. Good games, but with a lot of mistakes. For me the best exporience was The witcher 3, Read dead redemption 2 and Persona 5 Royal.
@@adaalonso Oh, cool I guess. ^^ We all hav our own different oppinions. Though FF XV did have quite a few mistakes in it since the story was scrapped and redone so many times, then they had to rush the finalized story than the game itself. I love Persona 5! I've never played The Witcher or Read Dead Redemption yet
I just gotta say that your channel is amazing. I usually dont enjoy watching people with emotions pouring out of their ears, eyes, nose, cheeks, teeth, eyebrows and hair but you feel so freakin genuine. Really enjoy your vids, you have made my day for the last 2 weeks.
AHHH! I never watch streams because I struggle to keep my attention on things long enough to commit to a stream, but I've been waiting to see your FFXV reaction ever since I saw the ffx one. 15 is one of my favourite in the series :D
I don't know who you are but I'm now a fan. I'm glad this showed up in my recommended so I could watch someone else go through the same range of emotions I do every time I play through this game.
good to know I wasn't the only one having an emotional breakdown over the ending, I cried until I fell asleep on that day..........the next one I hit new game + and pretended everything was ok and everyone was alive ahah
I miss playing this game so much. I was depressed for literally months after I finished it and I continued playing it for years. You made me want to go back to it, so I will very soon. Thank you for making my day.
I keep coming back to watching different people play this game and see them get hurt and break down. LIKE I DID. LETS ALL APPRECIATE THIS MASTERPIECE AND CRY YA ALL.
Nyx, I love your reactions so much. Watching you play games that have touched me in so many ways gives me a huge amount of joy. You can externalise emotions in a way I never can and I appreciate that so much. Please keep posting these videos. I may not be able to watch your streams, but I really love the "experience" videos you post. You do a wonderful job bringing the audience on the emotional roller coaster with you. Thank you so much for posting your content, I can't express enough how much I appreciate it.
Nyx: *fangirling over Chocobos* Me: "heh, yeah, they're cute and stuff--." Nyx: *names if Bobby Corwen* Me: "****ING SUBSCRIBED! BLESS YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR!"
It genuinely feels lovely to just sit and cry about this game all over again. Just hearing some of the music still gets me, so this was really just everything. Also, I don't know if you played the DLC episodes, as they get me every time as well, but especially Episode Ignis (and extra feels now that _Dawn of the Future_ is out officially in English).
I just literally got done playing royal edition and I cried so hard at the end credits and last campfire scene. game is freaking amazing. 80 hours and it felt like a damn movie
You have a beautiful heart. I needed a good cry, thank you for this! Also Dewdrops at Dawn was the song my fiancé at the time chose to walk down the aisle to at our wedding. Our first dance was to the Florence and the Machine version of Stand by Me. We’re huge FF nerds too, and it’s awesome to see your love for this franchise, same as us.
This game is 1 of 3 games to ever make me cry. I love this game so much, and your video for it was amazing. Such an emotional roller coaster of a game. Walk tall, my friends.
The only games I can remember that made me cry were this, ff7R, bloodborne, death stranding, and spider man and ghost of tsushima. But out of all of these, ff15 and death stranding made me cry the most
I had the same breakdown in this game too. I will always love this game, and though it may hurt, I will play it again and again. Well done Nxi. Walk Tall My Friend.
Someone is introducing your FF7 remake play video with Japanese subtitles. Probably the most FF7 in Japan is recognized as a favorite overseas TH-camr. From Japan I'm commenting using Google Translate, so I'm sorry if the English text is wrong.
My first playthrough with the picture at the end was of Noctis getting tossed sky high by one of those rhino enemies. I laughed so hard I couldn't hold back the tears and cried a little. I loved this story so much. The multiplayer expansion also broke me down pretty hard in the way they tied your character into the story.
Every final fantasy is a masterpiece. It's nice to see the graphics actually enhance the story. The old ones were amazing, especially with the technical limitations of the day, but it's nice to see them be able to tell a story and be able to actually see it. Favorite videogame series of all time and 8 is my favorite game and soundtrack of all time. The first one I ever played.
In my favourite place to drink coffee the workers always play the same playlist, and one of the song is Stand by me and... I always cry a bit. Sorry, Noct, I'm not walking tall enough.
Ah Promto and his camera, I remember challenging him in the multiplayer mode and he decided it was appropriate to take a selfie with my petrified corpse 😂
Just completed the game for my first time, and tears were sheed 100%. Every moment once in the Citadel is just phenomenal. Good lord. Especially the campfire scene. The love they have for each other is so honestly portrayed, and relatable. After ten long years, they're finally reunited as brothers. Now left to face the reality of their final mission. That Noctis is fated to sacrifice himself for the life of all others, and their final moments together must be spent fighting to ensure that fate.
yeah they added 6 bosses lmao when i played you went straight to ardyn and that was it there was no cerberus, no sidequests, no cor, no glaive base, no getting to play at the other guys, no boss fights in between, no cutscene with luna when i replayed it i was super happy they added so much
Nyxi: This game hurt me Me: Oh, wait until the next scene comes... I probably saw that moment more than ten times and it breaks my heart in two like almost no game could do it.
Oh damn, I played this game again recently and it destroyed me even though I knew what was coming. That campfire scene at the end kills me. I can't even. Glad to see someone else enjoying it so much! Loved the video.
I did not expect to tear up watching this, I thought I was over it. I'm never going to be over it am I.. It was worth the wait, thanks for all the hard work you did on this video nyx. I'm really glad I got to see this since I wasn't there for it live
Hello ! I didn't know you before, but I'm incredibly glad I stumbled across here. I find myself in your sensitivity. It's wonderful to see other people feeling the same kind of emotions as us, and it's wonderful to see that streamers like you exist. Thank you for your content and for making me feel those emotions again. I will follow your experiences in the shadows. Kisses from France.
FFXV is my favourite game of all time so discovering this video and feeling all those emotions again from start to finish really was something else. Thankyou for this 🙏🏼

Imagine Luna's confusion when Noctis hands her a picture of a baby chocobo for no discernable reason.
I chose the Cup Noodles picture, man am I glad I did.
@@Speculate_Me moment of levity between all the crying
I picked a picture of my favorite mechanic. So I imagine a divorce in my afterlife.
I had one playthrough using Ardyn's picture... Luna must've been really confused...
I went with Aranea's cleavage. Divorce incoming.
"You guys are the best" broke me down hard. The voice actor gave it absolutely everything, and it shows so well.
It's even better in Japanese. What Noctis actually say is "I....I love you guys!"
Mah boy really grew up.
@QUEENDOM I'd say it's relatability aids it despite that, at least for me
@QUEENDOM I’d say you spend enough time with the core bois to develop some attachment. More development was needed for everyone, yes, but I think their bond felt pretty legit.
What can I say?
That's Ray Chase for you. A fine voice actor of the highest caliber
"This game hurt me." - Never were truer words spoken.
If she thinks that's painful, I can't wait to see her play the other dlcs, specially ardyn's
@xLttPx apology..... RIGHT NOW!
Just kidding, this game wasn't so well received because of it's change from versus, but everyone have their opinions
@@jorgemathiasbenitezsaldiva8131 everyone have their opinions, and some opinions are shitier than other, like saying ffxv is terrible
It's not terrible. Final Fantasy XV was the first PS4 game I played. For me It's kind of a tradition to buy a Playstation console along with a copy of the latest Final Fantasy game. I bought my PS3 with a copy of Final Fantasy XIII
XV was my first Final Fantasy game and honestly, my eyes started to hurt because I shed so many tears while playing through it the first time.
I can understand where the criticism comes from with the story being off at times. But, I feel like this game mainly deals with you developing a strong bond with the characters and have you feel for them rather than the story around them - if that makes sense.
I’m an emotional sap and it worked. The ending was truly a bittersweet one... 😭😭😭
*You guys are the best*
-Don't cry.
-Put "Stand By Me" as background music.
-Get in a fetal position on the floor.
-cry hard
this one hit me like a drum
@@arvoredeuva5485 That song hits differently after the end 😭
I hear way too little about how good a job Noctis’ Voice Actor did in this game’s English Dub. He almost never sounded corny, especially when delivering lines he so easily could’ve come off as such. 10/10 Voice Acting.
Agreed.
Thank you for making me relive the emotions that this game brought me. This game released 3 weeks after my own father died so it has a very special meaning to me. It helped me live through the pain of losing him. I even tattooed the Sword of the father and the words ''walk tall'' on my forearm. Makes me happy everytime I see somebody enjoying this game like this. Here's hoping to the same emotions for FF16!
oh, this made me tear up ;-; i am so sorry for your loss, but i'm glad this game helped you through
I loved final fantasy 15 it was my favorite rpg
The same happen to me with FFVIII i understand you men
Wow, thats- that was unexpected, hit me hard in the feels there.
Sorry for your loss. At leas you liked this game. I was very disappointed. My father died a couple years ago from dementia complications. I can't watch Logan anymore, because Porf. X reminds me of my dad losing his mind before death.
This is terrible of me but I'm so glad to finally see someone else who sobbed as hard as I did at the ending of this game.
I cry every Time when i Play it
Honestly i get you. I wanted to to be sadder. But my feelings were negated by hiw disappoingly short the story campaign was. This was back before all the dlc. Granted still loved the game and i have almost 200hrs in it and now im finally going back to play with all the dlc. Such a fun game!
I literally cant even think about the "walk tall...my friends" or the final "you guys...are the best" without tearing up
The ending of the 3rd lc got me balling out
I cried for sure. The ending of this and the ending of X penetrated the softest spots I knew I had. The idea of sacrifice and love.. sensitive
This game simultaneously cured and caused my depression.
Daimn this comment straight facts So true
I despise and love ardyn, and this comment represents my feelings.
@@eduardoroman6036 especially after the dlc
@@bryannothem1505 I've played this game so long ago that I didn't even know that there was a DLC ?!
@@kaedo-2740 4 of them. What Gladio was doing when he left, how ignes lost his eyesight (and leading you to alternative ending), what Prompto did to end up in the facility after the train, and the villains story. They also have fun side missions they added in updates including a new summon with a fun ff14 crossover
Idc what anyone says, this was one of the most heartfelt campaigns of any game ive ever played. The little things like seeing your saved pictures in the game and end credits, the bond of friendships, this game wasnt a game, felt like a damn movie
Facts
Yeah just overarching plot was shit. The characters were well made. Just needed a better story to fit into.
@@C0astDelta Got better once they patched shit and sadly, the DLCs got implemented.
The starting story felt so meh because so much was left out so you sort of had to full in the blanks.
Once everything's pieced together it's a competent-great FF story, but well that's another timeline's luxury.
@@ruxis2563 IMO they could've really nailed the father son relationship better with more material on Regis' past and how he brought up Noctis. Royalty is the core theme but I feel like family would've been a really strong one as well.
Also would've tied in Lunafreya as a close family friend Noctis would've grown to see in a romantic light.
@@C0astDelta I agree, though I feel Lunafreya was the one that 'desperately' needed more material throughout the game and/or interactions with Noct.
Dunno if with the patches to the 'main' game assisted in at least putting a plaster on that problem or not, but when I played it I had very little emotional connection to her by the time she gets killed.
I did get emotional at the goodbye cinematic but that's because I was attached to NOCTIS, not her, ya know.
I literally stayed staring at the tittle screen after the ending for a good 10 minutes. Seeing the new tittle screen and the song playing broke me more. I can’t play this game anymore because I know how it ends 😭
Hint - this is Noctis' ordained fate, but it's not the end of the story--nor his only possible fate. If you haven't finished all the DLC or the book - keep playing!
@@mistynewton this! DLC and Novel are so worth it
It's amazing how even after years of playing this game I still cry like a baby in the ending...
Walk tall, my friends!
Hey there, I cant remember but why or what Ardyn was the final thing.
you can't just drop those words casually man *cries*
The game had flaws, for sure, but the journey with Noctis, and the boys was fantastic, and their dynamic together was amazing. The ending scene around the campfire broke me, for several days. I absolutely love this game, flaws and all.
For all its flaws, and there were many, I'm shocked at how well it pulled off the final hours. Absolutely amazing.
I just did a second play through, and honestly I found less and less flaws. I love this game so much more now
i agree
This was the only game that made me cry, like really bad cry. God damnit I've only wanted a good ending for everyone...
@@kaedo-2740 yeah same here. I got choked up when you realize what the picture you picked meant, and then the after credits scene. Once stand by me played, I was crushed. That's why I loved this game, as the group felt pretty authentic
Oh man, a lot of these clips definitely hit me in the feels all over again. Something that FFXV shares close with me is while I was playing it while it came out, my father was sick and passed away in early 2017, I took care of him in late 2016 while I played this game he would watch me and the cutscenes and comment on how stunning the technology has become. After he passed in sprign 2017 I finally beat the game and all I could think about was him watching me play and if we was watching me when the credits rolled. Despite the reviews and critics I have a special place for this game to myself because of my own experience. I really can't wait for FFXVI :)
T:____T
Damn and I thought I was sad...
bruh wasnt this game enough you made me cry again.
Damn man. Sorry about your father.
I loved this game too for personal reasons as well. Critics be damned, i spent over a hundred hours in it. Something about FF games just seem to come out at the right moment.
That hit me like a ton of bricks

Why? They barely developed Luna. In fact in the original game, Noctis was supposed to kill Luna. And it’s still a real alternate timeline. In this one, it’s Ardyn.

honestly same i played it this summer and when i finished it i was so sad yet AMAZED how i literally fell in love with all of the characters and the their world!!! and i even bought the version with most of the DLC's and still wanted more also what's your opinion on the ignis DLC alternate ending ? (if you played it lol)
@@melz4766 I like the alternate ending too! I am a sucker for happy endings ( especially with characters that I love) so yeah it's nice! The original ending is sad but bittersweet; especially for Noctis and Luna (destroyed me) so I personally prefer it more. I wouldn't be mad if the alternate ending was the true one but it wouldn't be as memorable for me unless we got more absent Noctis-time skip details.
Acctually the real end of the game would be in the three last DLC's: Noctis, Luna and Aranea. Square cancel these dlc's and release a book with the content called Dawn of the Future.
@@lebazolli Officially Noct's DLC would've the only full on "alternative history" one.
Showing the character's dreams and potential afaik.
Yea same, the story is great despite its flaws, this could have been legendary if it was handled correctly but I still love and had fun with it. I like the characters, their moments while traveling are awesom, the whole bodyguards turned brotherhood theme is really great in this game.
I think the afterlife wedding reunion gets to everyone. If it doesn’t then you have no soul. The music, the visuals, it’s just so much.
FF XV is just gonna be one of those games that people will learn to love as time passes by
Doubt it when we can go back to real rpg's and see what story and plot should be like in ff10 and chronotrigger.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep ok boomer
I wish I could. I have tried twice to complete the game. The furthest I got was when they descend into the cave with blind.... cooking guy. Since I had to walk to avoid losing him in a dark and uninteresting location I said I've had enough and never got back to it.
The whole time I was playing the game I was thinking "I want to play the hero from Kings glaive". I liked the concept and attempt from 15, but they failed on the execution. The gameplay wasn't terribly interesting. The characters were pretty bland, and the story had moments, but wasn't good enough to keep me hooked. I did like the exploration and the world though.
But I will say I am very glad you enjoyed it Magnus. It legitimately makes me happy when people can enjoy something. I wish I could have enjoyed this game, but it just wasn't for me. So I'll enjoy the rest of the series.
Well aside from 13 (for the most part).
@RageGetBest The ignorance is sad.
@@PenguinsAreColdish You are the one suffering far more than me. You are the one who doesn't know better and has never got to experience quality content. But ignorance is bliss as the adage goes.

Whoa, they added a lot of cutscenes and story content since I played it. I might have to go back!
Me, my 3070, the odyssey G9 I just mounted on the wall, and all that nostalgia... we all agree with you on this.
i think its bc its the royal edition
This just kinda kills me. Tabata was really turning 15 into something really good. He had another 3 chapters planned but “creative differences” and he left square.
Sure. Play Episode Ardyn and stuff as well.
@@nghtspawn651 Episode Ardyn is THE best DLC period

I still don't understand the "hate" for this game. It pulled on my heart strings and truly gave me the feeling of adventure. One of the best journeys I've ever taken
One thing I will admit imo it wasn't exactly great at telling the story. For example it's not exactly clear about the fact that weeks have passed between Altissia and the train (hence Gladio's frustration with Noct's focus still clouded) or the fact that there's so many diff forms of media you have to read or watch in order to get the full story. Amazing story but yeah
I don't understand too :'(
maybe because you can pimp your car, take pictures and cook with a big smile when your whole country is going to hell and your best bro just lost his father
@@pezosdrare3291 surface level take
Not sure if you played it early on but it was a bit of a mess. Felt very unfinished and took a lot of guess work to peice things together. It got better with updates and Royal but knowing that it will never be truelly finished kind of hurts. Not to mention its troubled development and the potential game that it could have been makes it kinda hurt. I love the game that we got but it could have been so much better and so much sooner too. Cus getting the almost finished game 2 years after release is kinda sucky.
15 was one of the best games I have ever played. I broke down so many times
"You gonna make me emotional about a car?"
Like- daaaaaaamn, this game is really good at building the emotion for the right moments. The first half of the game was definitely the embodiment of "FUN". The quality of fun time you spent with the bros was flipped into this deep sadness by the second half. Regalia was there the entire time you had fun exploring Lucis. And after making Ignis went blind and pushing Prompto, they even 'killed' the god damn CAR. It's a hell of train-wrecking emotions right thereeeeee.
OOOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOD,
This girl does not know how my Sunday has improved, thank you soo much
Game has a ton of flaws, but it sure is emotional. That last scene with the bois around the campfire? 10/10
That shit hit hard round the camp fire 😭
It makes me wish we had those characters with the original plot to Versus. Only in my dreams (and Kingdom Hearts) it seems.
There is no such a thing as “Perfect Game”. each game has its own flaws because they are being made by humans and Humans are not perfect. You are not perfect too. I suggest you stop looking for flaws in a game, try to have fun and enjoy it.
Final fantasy XV is awesome and it has a lot of 10/10 moments. Last campfire is just one of them.
I tear up on the regalia scene lol
No, 8/10 is a good mark, but 10/10? Is nlt at the level of of Read dead redemption 2 or The Witcher 3, it doesn't deserve the 9. And I am being generous, because this game ha a lot of hate and for a Final Fantasy game this was really bad. For me it was a enjoyable game, really inmersive, but bad story, bad world (big and beautiful, but really death. Not too many people or events), bad quest, bad camera for the combat, they have sold you DLCs to try to fix the shit that they did with the story...
Yhea, I don't hate the game, I have good memories with it, but being objective is not a 9 game

The whole ending was very emotional, but honestly where it really struck me was during the end credits when the song "Stand by me" starts again and it shows you everything that you experienced with your crew through these many hours of play...
The game might not be perfect, but the things that it did good, it did really well and better than most games out there.
I just finished playing FFXV and the ending crushed me. I just remember getting to the end where they show the sun rising, being ‘annoyed’ because I was still balling my eyes out and verbally saying out loud ‘I don’t care about the sun I’m sad’, then realizing what that represented, and immediately started sobbing again.
Seriously. I've played this game four times. That campfire scene made me cry my eyes out as a grown ass man each time. Such a powerful scene. Such admirable voice acting. Anyone that said this game was bad should be forever ignored.
I agree Amocoru
dude legit i beat this game with my best friend around and i was _STRUGGLING_ not to burst into tears when that ending hit. i absolutely _refuse_ to listen to Stand By Me out of abject fear of suffering a spontaneous emotional breakdown.
omg i was just looking at reactions 10 minutes ago and was like:" i wish nyxi would play this.. i want to see her react to this" WTFFF???? THANK YOU
TWAS DESTINY
Same, I always thought she didn't like 15 since she never talked about it, but cool to see she liked it.
So ff8 is soon right? RIGHT?? Sleeping hard on dat ish nyx
Prompto's scene on the roof with Noctis hit me so hard. That was exactly the kind of way I felt as a kid growing up sometimes and it sucked. Though once I grew up some more, learned who my true friends are and what real friendship means that I stopped feeling that pressure and could just relax with being myself with people who actually gave a shit.
Final fantasy XV was one of the most well Liked/Hated games of all time. When it was first released it was really buggy and lacked a lot of content. The Royal Editon added a ton of stuff to it and fortunately for me the Royal Editon was how I played it for the first time. I thought the game was an absolute masterpiece and one of the 6 or 7 best games of the PS4 generation.
Right they fixed a lot of issues and added some neat stuff.
DLCs were great to, I'm very much satisfied and oh boy what an emotional rollercoaster 😭
@@YurimoHikashi yup it was an awesome experience
I'm not going to lie, I played through this not long ago, and I was fine the ENTIRE GAME, and just lost it at the end. When I had to pick the photo, I cried as I looked through them all.... I knew where EVERY ONE had come from, and what we had been doing when it had been taken.
And then I just silently cried when the Ring of Lucii disintegrated.
wait till she finds out about the DLCs especially Ignis's DLC
And Episode: Ardyn and *why* he's like that.
They all alive?
This game meant a lot to me, too. I cried just as hard and just as often. Not just because I loved the story and grew incredibly attached to the characters, but because of what the FF series represents in my life. FF 3/6 on the SNES is what got me into gaming as a whole. I had played other games before it, but never a game like an RPG before. My older cousin, who I idolized beyond belief, showed me the series and let me watch him play it when I was very little. It opened a door into gaming for me and I was forever changed. Sadly, he was murdered two years ago, and I still haven't recovered. To be honest, I don't know if he actually got to play FFXV at any point before he died, because we never spoke about it, but playing through the game reminds me of him so much, and what FF meant to us as family. The ending of this game makes me think of him every time, and when Noctis says goodbye to his friends, I lose it for a solid 24 hours. I wish I could talk about the game with my cousin; I would give just about anything to just sit and watch him play through 15 the way I watched him play through 3/6 when we were little.
What can I say? This game is the best.
"This game hurt me" should be the tag line of every final fantasy.
I finished the game yesterday and during 75 hours of campaign I finish it, this game made me real Sad, it made me think about my friends and my family. I cried a lot with the final scenes of the bros, and when the music started showing all my journey, was the moment it broke me. Is kinda weird but this game made me feel that i was noctis and i was with my friends chilling in a journey, but the last moments were difficult because i didn’t wanted that the journey end, leaving my friends. But the saddest part for me is when noctis confesses to them his faith and that he loves them. Man i was crying so hard. It was a very beautiful game, and the story so beautiful that I thought i was noctis and the boys were my boys. Shit…
Nothing warms the heart more than giving your significant other a photograph of a diabetic chocobo.
i tried to play this game several times but could never get into it. During the lockdown when I had no job i decided to give it another shot. 3 days and 45 in game hours and i really enjoyed it. It is by far my favorite story game i have played.
I’m tired of seeing people hate on this MASTERPIECE of a game. It’s so great seeing someone get the feels for this game as hard as I did.
Not everybody has great taste and can understand what a true Masterpiece is. Why do you care what these types of people think? Ignore them.
Because it really does have HUGE flaws?...
It's not really smart to just dissmiss FF15 bad parts. Especialy how the story just goess off the rails in the 2nd half...
@@ArioDragon it's a great game held back by a lot of flaws. The hate is eye rolling though, mainly when people call it a bad game. Anthem is a bad game. FFXV is a really good to maybe a great game, depending on how much the flaws bother you.
@@Arsio12 the storytelling could have been better. I cannot even remember what the hell I was doing. Also Noct comes back after all them years and everyone's just like "sup". Wtf
@@Arsio12 If FF15 would be just bad it wouldn't hurt so much. Instead it's dissapointing. It could be so much more! But Square fucked up so much durning it's development, and changed things alot, many times. All to make a quick buck. Square of today has really stooped too low...
I just finished this game last week and I can't stop thinking about it and getting emotional, so instead of trying to move on, I'm watching all the reaction and tribute videos I can find, lol. Glad I'm not alone in this game wrecking me. Thanks for sharing.
Had almost the same reaction as you, It took over thirty minutes to overcome the intense snot nosed crying fest I had and well over a week to where I could hear the ending song without crying my eyes out. Btw prompto is my first choice for fave character from this game #sorrynotsorry (litteraly every single selfie that prompto took, noctus complained about it and he would say that. I had so many laughs with these boys) loved watching this and then cried along with you!
I thought i would be immune having known how it ended, boy was i wrong
Ff15 was definitely a fun game. Flawed in quite a few parts, but still really enjoyable, with it's world, combat and characters. It sucks the leftover dlc was cancelled, but it's still quite enjoyable with what we got, and hopefully 16 does well too. Also, it's alternate name,
*MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE FT. THE ULTIMATE CUP NOODLE EXPERIENCE*
I always called it the *BOY BAND ROADTRIP SIMULATOR* xD
FF15 was the FF that deserved better. Through the cracks, there's a much better game trying to come out and it never got the chance.
More like MY CHEMICAL BROMANCE am i right ? I'll see myself out.
@Zac Atkinson Sorry in advance for the essay: I know many people do have it as their favourite. Even my favourite RPG has things that could be improved. Personally, FF15 goes beyond that sentiment. There were so many good pieces, but the way they were put together left me longing for the potential the story had rather than feel like what we got was enough to overcome that. Given the game's development history, that's entirely unsurprising to me, and it hurts thinking of what could have been without the turmoil. And I don't just mean Vs. XIII. While I would be interested in seeing those ideas as a finished product (unlikely), what I mean is that FFXV in its final form didn't have enough time for iteration once its new direction was set.
I love the pieces, and I really did want the overall product to share that love. There's so much good stuff in there that it feels like FFXV is _thiiis_ close to being truly amazing for me, but far off at the same time. Taking an example, when I watch Altissia play out, I can feel myself trying desperately to be heartbroken. She's a great character who didn't get her fair share of bonding time, neither with me, nor Noctis. The fact that her relationship with Noctis is set up so artificially makes it really hard to feel that extra heartbreak through Noctis. The whole sequence is epic even without context, but it lacks the buildup that it needs to stab me in the feels, which is everything I want out of a story. As a quick example there, Xenoblade spends half the game hyping up a point in the story. That's incredible buildup. And then when I finally got there with my high expectations and hype, it went even beyond those and got me even more invested for what came next. Later on when I was further toward the end, the outstanding mysteries and the anticipation of what was going to happen next caused me to put sidequests on hold and marathon the story, which is a very impressive accomplishment. It's rather unfair for me to expect that from any other game, but I feel like it captures the direction I really look for.
Going to a different place, the world of Eos has a hell of a lore behind it. Ever since I learned about said lore, I wanted more. Sadly, what we get in the cool lore department is primarily the (very abstract) Pitioss dungeon. The lore is great for putting the narrative into perspective, but I feel we didn't get a whole lot. The scene on the train wasn't in the game initially, and credit for adding more lore to the story, though the canon this scene established did run contrary to (imo) some really cool alternate theories.
In general, the kind of worldbuilding and whole-game mystery you get from the lore in RPGs gives something to get invested in for the whole game on top of the plot. Take Spira in FFX, as you progress through the story, you learn more about the world and the people in it. The world itself holds mysteries like the nature of Sin. That provides extra excitement for continuing the plot and extra motivation to talk to NPCs like Maechen. FFXV has so much opportunity there, but I don't feel that it was worked into the game nearly as much as it could have or should have been for a pillar of RPG storytelling.
And then worldbuilding aside, there are characters that you want to love, but the game gives you so little time to bond with them and get invested. Of course I don't mean the main bros, but almost every other character was like this for me. Aranea was the one character that I feel the game gave some due time for her role, and Luna to some extent, but hers leaves my logical side too concerned over her _current_ relationship with Noctis. Ardyn goes so much deeper than what he appears, and it's a shame most people will never know that. Regis was definitely someone who I feel is important enough that we _need_ to be invested in him and his relationship with Noctis. Sadly, even the supplementary materials don't go as far as Regis deserves. Anyway, this is going to get more rambly as I go and I never did like English class, so I can't be bothered to spend extra hours making it cohesive.
few parts ??? the intire game was a mass xD
FFXV's ending makes me tear up every time
What’s interesting is that I spent most of the game fairly indifferent to the story and finding the characters, while likable, not very gripping. I thought that the actual plot was interesting and the world was compelling, but that the storytelling was just off. Like I was always about 10 minutes behind the B plot and important things always happened right before I got anywhere. It drove me crazy. I also didn’t love the gameplay. But something about the game just kept me playing. It may even have just been the love of the franchise.
And then, out of nowhere, the ending totally wrecked me. It just hit on every level and I cared about these characters in ways I hadn’t before. It also slightly recontextualized my journey with these guys, and moments where I hadn’t previously been engaged I then looked back on with fondness. It was weird, and I still can’t fully explain why, but the ending ended up really redeeming the main game for me. As did the later story patches and DLCs.
So, yeah, my relationship with XV is a bit complicated.
One of the few games that made me cry
this, until that time I picked Cindy as the photo of choice
From beginning to the end, the game story sucked ass to me
Can't hold my tears every time I watch Noctis says "what can I say, you guys are the best". that level of voice acting
The death of Luna broke me. That entire scene was absolutely heartbreaking
This is my favorite FF and you proved it again. I feel so much when playing it again. I always come back to watch this particular playthru. Thank you.
Me and my gf played through this she cried hard when Luna died and we cried together when noctis died never been so emotionally invested in a game in all my life
@QUEENDOM tf you mean play better games I’ve played plenty chill out
I don’t care what anybody says Ardyn wasn’t the main antagonist of FFXV, Bahamut is, Bahamut caused about half of what happened in this game
Agreed honestly
You played around the same time I did. It was my first ever time playing a "Final Fantasy" game, and even to this day. Just watching the ending scenes make me cry. Final Fantasy XV has had such an impact on me, and even though I cry, it was worth every moment, with these four lovable characters.
just wanna let you i randomly found this video and cried with you the whole time.
3 years later and i find myself coming back to watch this... man i love FF15
Me personally, this is my second favorite FINAL FANTASY game next to FF7. I love this game and the open world is so much I felt overwhelmed in a good way. I had to put 120+ hrs and get platinum trophy haha
I think what ruined this game was the long hype up around it, expectations were set way too high by fans and creators alike but even with that said I loved the game and put it in my top 5.
In order it would have to be...
1)ff7
2)ff10
3)ff15
4)ff7 crisis core
5)ff8
Love this game too, 200+ hours for me. That said though, it's a little more in the middle for me for best FF game (for the record, played all mainline FF games except 3, 11 and 12)
1) 9
2) 6
3) 7
4) 14
5) 8
6) 15
I find it so hilarious how there's not even a *glimpse* of Cindy in the whole playthrough lol
This was the first Final Fantasy game that I've ever played. I finally figured I'd try a FF game out since my friend has been poking at me to play it. It surely didn't disappoint! Sure, the game has it's flaws, but I love it just the way it is. One of my best gaming experiences. This is literally the first game that has ever made me cry and even openly sob. My mom was asking if I was alright because I was just sobbing like a baby at like 2 in the morning at the end, lol. I enjoyed watching your reactions to it! Made me relive it and want to pop the game back out to hang out with The Backstreet Boys again!
Final fantasy XV was a enjoyable game, also-ran my first Final Fantasy and one my first open world games. But not one of my favorite experiences, FFXV for me was like playing AC Origins (my first Assasin'Creed), enjoyable, spend a lot of time with them, get me impressed by the map and ambient... But that's all. Good games, but with a lot of mistakes. For me the best exporience was The witcher 3, Read dead redemption 2 and Persona 5 Royal.
@@adaalonso Oh, cool I guess. ^^ We all hav our own different oppinions. Though FF XV did have quite a few mistakes in it since the story was scrapped and redone so many times, then they had to rush the finalized story than the game itself. I love Persona 5! I've never played The Witcher or Read Dead Redemption yet
I am so glad there's still people finding this game and enjoying it as much as I did.
I just gotta say that your channel is amazing. I usually dont enjoy watching people with emotions pouring out of their ears, eyes, nose, cheeks, teeth, eyebrows and hair but you feel so freakin genuine. Really enjoy your vids, you have made my day for the last 2 weeks.
AHHH! I never watch streams because I struggle to keep my attention on things long enough to commit to a stream, but I've been waiting to see your FFXV reaction ever since I saw the ffx one.
15 is one of my favourite in the series :D
Fun fact: final fantasy 15's ending scene that completes the logo was the first time a videogame made me cry
Why yes, I would love to cry over this game for the nth time.
5:12 - 5:27 Is the greatest reaction ever
the only appropriate reaction
I don't know who you are but I'm now a fan. I'm glad this showed up in my recommended so I could watch someone else go through the same range of emotions I do every time I play through this game.
good to know I wasn't the only one having an emotional breakdown over the ending, I cried until I fell asleep on that day..........the next one I hit new game + and pretended everything was ok and everyone was alive ahah
Awww Nyxi, my heart ;-; The memories. What an incredible video. Also, 14:00 nearly made me blow out a lung lmao. Thank!
I miss playing this game so much. I was depressed for literally months after I finished it and I continued playing it for years. You made me want to go back to it, so I will very soon. Thank you for making my day.
I keep coming back to watching different people play this game and see them get hurt and break down.
LIKE I DID. LETS ALL APPRECIATE THIS MASTERPIECE AND CRY YA ALL.
Nyx, I love your reactions so much. Watching you play games that have touched me in so many ways gives me a huge amount of joy. You can externalise emotions in a way I never can and I appreciate that so much. Please keep posting these videos. I may not be able to watch your streams, but I really love the "experience" videos you post. You do a wonderful job bringing the audience on the emotional roller coaster with you. Thank you so much for posting your content, I can't express enough how much I appreciate it.
Nyx: *fangirling over Chocobos*
Me: "heh, yeah, they're cute and stuff--."
Nyx: *names if Bobby Corwen*
Me: "****ING SUBSCRIBED! BLESS YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR!"
It genuinely feels lovely to just sit and cry about this game all over again. Just hearing some of the music still gets me, so this was really just everything. Also, I don't know if you played the DLC episodes, as they get me every time as well, but especially Episode Ignis (and extra feels now that _Dawn of the Future_ is out officially in English).
Music is awesome in this game, still crying when hearing ending song
@@argonianguy6226 Gets me every time, too.
I need to give this game another shot, these ending cutscenes look interesting
Edit: THAT SHIT SAD (Gladio tearing up broke me 😢)
I just literally got done playing royal edition and I cried so hard at the end credits and last campfire scene. game is freaking amazing. 80 hours and it felt like a damn movie
You have a beautiful heart. I needed a good cry, thank you for this! Also Dewdrops at Dawn was the song my fiancé at the time chose to walk down the aisle to at our wedding. Our first dance was to the Florence and the Machine version of Stand by Me. We’re huge FF nerds too, and it’s awesome to see your love for this franchise, same as us.
This game is 1 of 3 games to ever make me cry. I love this game so much, and your video for it was amazing. Such an emotional roller coaster of a game. Walk tall, my friends.
What are the other two? I'de like to play them haha
@@SinisterRaven well one other is final fantasy 7, and the other is an adventure puzzle game called RiME
The only games I can remember that made me cry were this, ff7R, bloodborne, death stranding, and spider man and ghost of tsushima. But out of all of these, ff15 and death stranding made me cry the most
Might I suggest red dead redemption 2
And i cried again ! Thank you Nyxi for sharing these precious memories with us ! I'll tag along for every other Final Fantasy games to come !
I had the same breakdown in this game too. I will always love this game, and though it may hurt, I will play it again and again. Well done Nxi. Walk Tall My Friend.
Someone is introducing your FF7 remake play video with Japanese subtitles. Probably the most FF7 in Japan is recognized as a favorite overseas TH-camr.
From Japan
I'm commenting using Google Translate, so I'm sorry if the English text is wrong.
Someone on their playthrouh did a photo of adamantoise at the ending and I’ll never be the same again.
Been seeing a lot of ff15 stuff lately now including this amazing reaction video
Might be time to replay it lol
Thanks a ton nyxi
Thank god people are starting to realize that this game is amazing and not bad.
My first playthrough with the picture at the end was of Noctis getting tossed sky high by one of those rhino enemies.
I laughed so hard I couldn't hold back the tears and cried a little. I loved this story so much.
The multiplayer expansion also broke me down pretty hard in the way they tied your character into the story.
I’m so glad to find another Prompto fan, my baby boy is not getting the appreciation he deserves.
Every final fantasy is a masterpiece. It's nice to see the graphics actually enhance the story. The old ones were amazing, especially with the technical limitations of the day, but it's nice to see them be able to tell a story and be able to actually see it. Favorite videogame series of all time and 8 is my favorite game and soundtrack of all time. The first one I ever played.
In my favourite place to drink coffee the workers always play the same playlist, and one of the song is Stand by me and... I always cry a bit. Sorry, Noct, I'm not walking tall enough.
Yea. Luna's death hits hard. Especially after the events of Kingsglaive
Ah Promto and his camera, I remember challenging him in the multiplayer mode and he decided it was appropriate to take a selfie with my petrified corpse 😂
You've officially got me back into replays - FFX, now FFXV ty Nyxi
Just completed the game for my first time, and tears were sheed 100%.
Every moment once in the Citadel is just phenomenal. Good lord. Especially the campfire scene. The love they have for each other is so honestly portrayed, and relatable. After ten long years, they're finally reunited as brothers. Now left to face the reality of their final mission.
That Noctis is fated to sacrifice himself for the life of all others, and their final moments together must be spent fighting to ensure that fate.
the final mission is completely different from what i remembered, damn patches
yeah they added 6 bosses lmao
when i played you went straight to ardyn and that was it
there was no cerberus, no sidequests, no cor, no glaive base, no getting to play at the other guys, no boss fights in between, no cutscene with luna
when i replayed it i was super happy they added so much
Nyxi: This game hurt me
Me: Oh, wait until the next scene comes...
I probably saw that moment more than ten times and it breaks my heart in two like almost no game could do it.
Gosh I remember sobbing for almost an hour when that ending happened x glad I’m not the only one x
Oh damn, I played this game again recently and it destroyed me even though I knew what was coming. That campfire scene at the end kills me. I can't even. Glad to see someone else enjoying it so much! Loved the video.
Can't wait for YOUR experience on the DLCs
Especially Ignis alternate and.. well.. Ardyn
No, I'm not crying, you're crying!
Damn, no other media gets me to bowl out my eyes. Can't remember when I had something similar with a movie
Final fantasy 7 remake and 15 really,really tore my heart badly.....😭😭😭
7 remake lul
I did not expect to tear up watching this, I thought I was over it. I'm never going to be over it am I..
It was worth the wait, thanks for all the hard work you did on this video nyx. I'm really glad I got to see this since I wasn't there for it live
Hello ! I didn't know you before, but I'm incredibly glad I stumbled across here. I find myself in your sensitivity. It's wonderful to see other people feeling the same kind of emotions as us, and it's wonderful to see that streamers like you exist. Thank you for your content and for making me feel those emotions again. I will follow your experiences in the shadows.
Kisses from France.
Final fantasy never fails to make people cry, my eyes are hurt by crying hard
FFXV is my favourite game of all time so discovering this video and feeling all those emotions again from start to finish really was something else. Thankyou for this 🙏🏼
