@@alanmaclain2285 That is an insanely massive flaw tho :D Also the game has an insane amount of badly designed parts, and i say that even tho i personally enjoyed the game quite a lot.
"How do I recover from playing this game?" You don't, so you find catharsis in watching other people react to it lol The ending scenes in this game wrecked my whole life, and I blame Yoko Shimomura for most of it. The soundtrack for this game is unmatched.
@@ChrisMaxima yeah I thought I completely buried the emotional baggage that is this games ending. Then this vid pops up on my feed and I’m right back in the thick of it. Gd it……
I played this since 2015, It still have a place in my heart, so I came and search for the reaction then I found you, your play through is so emotional, I am glad that many gamer like you give this game a shot even many people said FFXV is unworthy to play tho… FfXV is my top 3 FF game in all time, thank you for reacting, you guys are the best!
This was a fantastic video. I'm glad that you were brave enough to share your true emotions with us all as you played through a game that is in my top 3 Final Fantasy games. Seeing you have those same reactions to this game as I did when I first played through XV, makes me feel less dumb for having those moments of elation and gut-wrenching sadness during the highs and lows of the game. Thank you for sharing this with us all. I'm new to the channel and I definitely can't wait to see what you play next. As a great mind once said, "Excelsior!"
You are absolutely valid for having emotions and showing them. It's wonderful to have a game such as this make us feel something. As it stands this is also in my top three though admittedly I still have some FF games to play. Thank you for watching and welcome.
I played this game when it first came out and I thought it was beautiful as it was but then they expanded the story more and I was so glad it did so it can give more people a chance to play this game. Defintely a lot of tear jerker moments and this game holds a special place in my heart as my late older brother bought me this game and will forever cherish this game.
Throughout this game I grew very attached to the boys as well as the ritual of finding a place to eat and stay every night. That last campfire scene with them after being reunited was so well done and bittersweet... really got to me as well.
It's been years and this game still holds a special place in my heart, it will always remind me of better, calmer times. I'm so glad this got recommended to me, it's nice to see another person loving the characters I've been loving since I played the game, thank you 💗
And lots of other people say "its just a video game" but here i am bawling after my playthrough of ff15 few months back and again while watching this now. Nice video.
The ending broke me like no other game ever did. Your conclusion was spot on. I couldn't stop playing after the ending because I just wanted to spend more time with the boys
I started playing this game since October 31 2021 and I'm still chapter 4 with lvl51. This is the game I really want to Play. I know I'm late to play it but I'm still happy to play my favorite game that I've been looking forward to for a long time. because I don't have a console or pc that can be used to play games before
Flaws or not, I’ve played this game over a few times now, and watching this reaction video just made me bawl. I can not not cry at the ending. It’s so damn emotional and it will never change. First or 500th play through, it will always hit a chord with me that is so damn deep. They did such an amazing job with the world and the characters (the voice actors especially) that you literally fall in love and feel like you’re on the journey with the boys. You become so invested in their friendship and it’s like watching a loved one take a bullet for you knowing it’s coming. It’s crazy to think a game is capable of eliciting such raw and powerful emotions, but it does. That’s why despite any flaws, FFXV will always be my favorite. ❤
I hope that someday when Final Fantasy XV get’s remastered or re-released they allow us to play the “Dawn of the future” ending where Ardyn gets redeemed, Somnus is redeemed, and Noctis, Luna and the boys are all together in the future enjoying a new age of peace, honoring Ardyn as the fallen king.
@@ngockhanguyen851 No. That's a lie. The true, canonical ending is the one in the game. The other the one in the books, is just an alternate/what-if ending. The one in the game is the true ending.
"How do I recover from playing this game? Like, how do I recover?" You don't! I sank 110hours into this game, havent played it since it came out, and cried right along with you. You never recover! You are always a passenger on the pain train!
I never expected it to happen, but the chocobros might be my favorite party in any Final Fantasy, maybe even any game. I love those four so much. Thanks for sharing your experience Violet!
I think Aranea is basically what they initially planned Lightning to be like in FFXIII before they made Fang. Like they stated during production that Lightning would be flirty but still have the dark personality, and that’s basically Aranea. They even look alike. I just fucking love all FF women
This game was my first final fantasy, it opened the doors to great final fantasy games. I haven’t played it since 2021 because if I do, I will immediately break down. But here I am torturing myself to a gameplay. Thank you. 41:53 my literal face. (I love my prompto, seeing him cry broke me.) 42:22 I broke down.
Have watched this reaction about 3 times now. Really enjoy the energy and connection you get with the game. I put 80+ hours in when it first came out and now ive re-downloaded it and am about to start it again. Great video.
I wish you luck on your journey through the game again. I never played the original version but I absolutely love the Royal Edition (which is what is in the video). Thank so much for watching. One of the highest compliments I can receive as a streamer/creator is that I inspired someone to play same game so thank you again. This really means a lot to me.
I'm grateful I found your channel and am getting to enjoy your journey through some of my favorite and most emotionally impactful games. This game and kingdom hearts 3 hold special places for me. And right now I find myself in the position of needing to be reminded of what they speak about. Recently my closest friend for the past 10 years ghosted me without warning. He was like my brother and I loved him dearly. I was closer to him than anyone else. I could tell him anything. Often he would call me and we would just sit quietly on te phone and just enjoy the company. My grieving process through all of this has been incredibly difficult but I have found your channel at a time when I need the reminders of the importance of friendship. Your commentary for both has been very cathartic for me. Helping me process and let go of the pain and anger I'm dealing with. I just want to say thank you for that.
I'm really glad I watched this. It reminded me of all the things I loved about the game and what it felt like when I first played it. I'd almost completely forgotten what it felt like the first time. Thanks for reminding me!
It took me 4 long years to beat but i have beaten the game about 4 or 5 years ago but i too cryed at the ending and i was like no you can't do this to me. I do love playing the game
I’m nearing the end of this video currently, and I was already breaking down inside at the beginning of the video. I got the platinum trophy for this game and man it hurts so bad! I love this game, but man it hits you!
Yup, absolutely got wrecked again. This game is just too good! Also, thank you for uploading your experience for all of us to see and share the emotions with each other!
It was really great watching you play this game. I played it for the first time in March of 2020 and fell in love with FF again like I haven't since FFIX. Honestly Noctis was a bit of a wet blanket for me, no knock on Ray Chase, I don't think they captured the emotions of some points as well as they could have. But I kinda fell head over heels into a full on crush on Ignis. He is just the best boy ♥️ I felt a lot of the same emotions you did, playing this game.
FF XV is my favorite entry in the series despite its flaws, I just love how organic, believable and more importantly, likeable, the characters were in this game. And the bittersweet ending really made you look back and appreciate the laidback time you got to spend with your friends before everything got serious. It was a story of a bratty Prince maturing into a King worthy of respect. I'd highly recommend you check out Persona 5 Royal if you haven't played that game already, I think it'd be right up your alley as it also puts a huge emphasis of character relationships and the payoff at the end is just as good as FF XV's.
I love watching first playthroughs of this game (share the pain!) and yours is one of the best ones- do you happen to have VODs of the full streams? I cant find them on your twitch, and I'd love to see the whole thing!
You pointed out something... i have a type. Bad guys who talk poetry. Ardyn , Genesis, and also Virgil from DMC. But I also have always loved villains❤
I will never tire of seeing other people experience this game for the first time. The bond that they all have is something that still sticks with me, and even though the planned finale DLC ended up getting shifted into a book, I love it all the same.
I’m sure it has been said in the comments before, but this is the significantly improved version of the game. At release the narrative was all over the place. It was a shitstorm of nonlinear nonsense you had to sit down and piece together yourself from tiny nuggets of information. Then suddenly you get to nif and Ardyn gives you a vast majority of the narrative while you make your way through a VERY slow and tedious area that feels like a resident evil game. That chapter used to be like three times as long. Then after all the big reveals we find out we only had about 75% of the story figured out. We absolutely needed all of the dlc content to get the rest of the story, and that really made a significant difference. In this royal edition we got an absolute crap ton of new story and massive improvements to the narrative so it made much more sense. It’s almost a different game entirely. That said, I absolutely adore this game because it was so damned dark. It was a truly unique final fantasy experience that didn’t have a real happy ending; it’s bittersweet at best. This world is a horrendously cruel place with gods that can shove it. This story is the epitome of tragedy and I love the anguish it made me feel. As much as I crave a happy ending this story would not give us one. It made for a truly once in a lifetime experience and this game is phenomenal for doing that in the ways it did. Every time I see this ending I sob like a baby and vow to never experience that pain again, but I keep coming back to watch others witness that same pain lol the only thing I truly hate about this game is all of the canceled dlc they had planned and how they decided to put it in a book instead.
I stumbled into your video yesterday and finished watching it today (I was playing as Sora in Smash), and I had the same exact reaction as you did at the end sequence, although if you played the game more recently, your gameplay experience was different than mine that played this on release. The connection that we make with the characters, their struggles, ther joy, their sadness... we feel it, we feel everything. The world building was really well done, Character development was on the spot, the interactions in between Noctis, Gladios, Ignis and Prompto are the best thing in the game by far. I had some problems with the pacing of the game, and since I was much more eager to explore the whole world map as soon as possible instead of advancing the plot, it wasn't to much of a problem. I'm forever cursing whoever released this game earlier than it should, Final Fantasy 15 is one of my favorite games, even with its problems.
SORA IS SO FUN!!!! I was playing last night as well. I wish this game didn't go through development hell but I still love it despite it's flaws. The characters are very memorable and real to me. Thanks for watching!
I just finished the game tonight. I had made it to Hammerhead two weeks ago but knew that i was about to be done and wasn't ready to finish. Two weeks of mentally preparing to finish this still didn't prepare me. I cried like a baby. You said it, these guys are my friends and I wish this never ended.
Only ending that compares is Witcher 3. When it takes you back to before the final chapter so you can finish the side quests there is no greater emptiness.
This is one of my favorite Final fantasy game because of it's characters and how much you grow to love them to the point you don't care about the flaws of the story
FFXV didn't deserve all the hate it got. All the mega-fanboys could see were the developmental issues and everything SE changed/had to take out. The whole friendship theme was awesome and one of my favorite things about the game, and I really hope we get more XV content again someday, somehow 😢
The ending of FFXV will always hold a special place in my heart (as will the game itself). It was the first Final Fantasy game I finished fully, first game I platinumed, and will will never not leave me a wreck by the end of it for the feels... The whole final two or three chapters.... While they were somewhat rushed feeling, It was still not as bad as it could have been honestly.
@@SobrietyandSolace Honestly haven't gotten very far in FFX.... That's the one with Tidus, Waka, and Yuna, right? I know a bit about the storyline and I think that I might like it if I actually put in the time to play it... idk though...
After I finished FF VII Remake and Rebirth, a friend recommended XV to me. And I have to say that the 15 has grown on me even more than any other part I've played. I love open world, the battle system (I don't use the waitmode) and I don't even need to start with the Regalia (all versions). And the OST gave me chills. Especially “Apocalypse Noctis” When I think of FFVII's graphics, the wall jpg of Midgar is always the first thing that comes to mind. In the 15th, everything is "alive" up to the horizon and the day-night cycle also brings in dynamism. And I also particularly like the little things, such as Noctis getting dirty from fighting and fishing, or his hairstyle no longer being neat due to the rain. I also like the dynamic between the guys more. In the 7, I'm particularly bothered by the whining and pushy nature of Tifa's character. The story of 15 is a bit confusing, I don't want to contradict that, but since I know or have all the media around, I can figure out the connections. The story of 7 is largely known, but now the changes make the story more complicated for players who know the original. As far as linear the chapters go after leaving Altissia before arriving Insomnia, FF VII Rebirth is no different. And I thought it was really good that it had the chance to travel back into the past again, for example to take a deep breath before the journey with the bros came to an end. And I actually enjoyed doing that again. The campfire scene at the end of FFXV killed me. Just the boys and the crackling of the fire. There is no need for dramatic musical accompaniment to make this scene so emotionally powerful. Which was already introduced very well in Crisis Core. And brought tears to my eyes in both. 😭 Since I've found Zack to be my favorite FFVII character since Crisis Core, I'm naturally very excited to see how he fits into the whole story. All in all, I'm really looking forward to the third part of the 7. But the 15 will probably remain number one for me for the time being.
When you were talking about how Gladio was doing squats like Zack that's because the director for Final Fantasy XV also Directed Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. He Directed these this is all I know of. 1. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. 2. Final Fantasy Type-0. 3. Final Fantasy XV.
For those who do not understand the last scene with Noctis and Luna. They are not alive. Both are DEAD. This scene shows the two in the afterlife where they are together in their dream of their wedding. This is Noctis and Luna's "FINAL FANTASY". And at the end they close their eyes and sleep means that they have fulfilled their task and can now rest together in this dream in peace.
There's a lot of people spreading hate on the game. But even with it's initial release and without the new DLCs and add ons, I really enjoyed the game. It was a bit annoying though how much of an open world it is and I kept it running enemies that were much stronger than me lol But I absolutely loved the game and enjoyed it. Though I ended up always with button-mashing in each battle lol
I get D's in offense all the time because I tend to overwhelm 99% of the enemies with a single warp-strike from Ragnarok. But no biggie. I actually fell in love with the game through a demo I downloaded before the main release... got to fight the behemoth and got access to Ramuh. it was pretty sick.... this is the only game I'd like to be ported to pc specifically for the better graphics capabilities.
Tbh, FFXV’s story isn’t its strongest suit but the bond of Noctis and his friends. Imo, out of all the groups in FF franchise. Noctis and his friends has the best and most organic friendship ever. It just feels so real. Sure, it has flaws but the roadtrip with the bros and the ending was beautifully done.
I. Bawled my eyes out at the end. I agree with you fully. These characters were my friends. We all journeyed together. I have three brothers, so it hit pretty hard. But although the game wasn’t perfect. It hit so hard and well in the end. Loved it.
Im so glad you decided to put this up, I really enjoyed getting to watch this! Haha i love that you mention the power of friendship and then went on to enjoy Kingdom Hearts after this 😅
I've always been interested in xv but haven't gotten around to it yet. From what I can tell it's vibe of bonding with those closest to you and doing anything and everything to protect them really resonates with me! Also that ending was something else, and totally go the wheels turning on connecting its ending to another game ending/beginning?? This is definitely going on the must play list and now I have some fuel to fill up a notebook or two of theories! Thank you for sharing your experience with game Violet! And you walk tall too my friend!
If you ever have the time I recommend giving this game a chance. It's beautiful and heart warming and gut wrenching. I think you would find the experience worth it.

Came cause I knew there'd be tears

Despite its flaws, FF15 is a wonderful experience, and the boys are just great. That ending will always get me tho.
The final intended ending that ended up being written as a book? Or the base game ending?

That end credit scene around the fire and the Luna scene get me *EVERY* *TIME!*
Video games am I right bring out the emotions in all of us
You asked how you will recover, the answer is you won't and now every time you hear the song you're going to ugly cry. Cuz I am right now!
Been over a year since I played this game and I'm still not okay.
The first time I finished this game, I was a wreck. Then when I returned and played the Ignis DLC, I was a wreck twice.
Iggy DLC destroyed me.

They really do you dirty with the ending sadness lol. It’s 4 sad scenes one right after the other. Definitely got me when I first played it.
Yeah this is one of my favourite scenes of this game, my favourite world music is Wunderlust.
Loved this trip with you. I cried with you all the way. Now time to watch the KHs Reactions!
I’m sure it has been said in the comments before, but this is the significantly improved version of the game. At release the narrative was all over the place. It was a shitstorm of nonlinear nonsense you had to sit down and piece together yourself from tiny nuggets of information. Then suddenly you get to nif and Ardyn gives you a vast majority of the narrative while you make your way through a VERY slow and tedious area that feels like a resident evil game. That chapter used to be like three times as long. Then after all the big reveals we find out we only had about 75% of the story figured out. We absolutely needed all of the dlc content to get the rest of the story, and that really made a significant difference. In this royal edition we got an absolute crap ton of new story and massive improvements to the narrative so it made much more sense. It’s almost a different game entirely. That said, I absolutely adore this game because it was so damned dark. It was a truly unique final fantasy experience that didn’t have a real happy ending; it’s bittersweet at best. This world is a horrendously cruel place with gods that can shove it. This story is the epitome of tragedy and I love the anguish it made me feel. As much as I crave a happy ending this story would not give us one. It made for a truly once in a lifetime experience and this game is phenomenal for doing that in the ways it did. Every time I see this ending I sob like a baby and vow to never experience that pain again, but I keep coming back to watch others witness that same pain lol the only thing I truly hate about this game is all of the canceled dlc they had planned and how they decided to put it in a book instead.
im only 6 minutes in but i need to comment about how happy this video is making me before it gets really sad, anyway VIOLET YOU ARE SO FUNNY
10:12 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I remember when I started playing and they started bantering. I was SO on board with the banter.
5:03 WAIT WHAT?!?! I played this game like three times fully and I never knew I could get a massage lol
I stumbled into your video yesterday and finished watching it today (I was playing as Sora in Smash), and I had the same exact reaction as you did at the end sequence, although if you played the game more recently, your gameplay experience was different than mine that played this on release.
The connection that we make with the characters, their struggles, ther joy, their sadness... we feel it, we feel everything. The world building was really well done, Character development was on the spot, the interactions in between Noctis, Gladios, Ignis and Prompto are the best thing in the game by far. I had some problems with the pacing of the game, and since I was much more eager to explore the whole world map as soon as possible instead of advancing the plot, it wasn't to much of a problem.
I'm forever cursing whoever released this game earlier than it should, Final Fantasy 15 is one of my favorite games, even with its problems.
SORA IS SO FUN!!!! I was playing last night as well. I wish this game didn't go through development hell but I still love it despite it's flaws. The characters are very memorable and real to me. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for having the strength to make this video. It was lovely to watch!
I just finished the game tonight. I had made it to Hammerhead two weeks ago but knew that i was about to be done and wasn't ready to finish. Two weeks of mentally preparing to finish this still didn't prepare me. I cried like a baby. You said it, these guys are my friends and I wish this never ended.
Absolutely love this game to death
I could never truly hate Ardyn, i feel sorry for him, he had no choice.
Only ending that compares is Witcher 3. When it takes you back to before the final chapter so you can finish the side quests there is no greater emptiness.
This is one of my favorite Final fantasy game because of it's characters and how much you grow to love them to the point you don't care about the flaws of the story
FFXV didn't deserve all the hate it got. All the mega-fanboys could see were the developmental issues and everything SE changed/had to take out. The whole friendship theme was awesome and one of my favorite things about the game, and I really hope we get more XV content again someday, somehow 😢
Would love if we someday got the Luna and Aranea DLCs.
The ending of FFXV will always hold a special place in my heart (as will the game itself). It was the first Final Fantasy game I finished fully, first game I platinumed, and will will never not leave me a wreck by the end of it for the feels... The whole final two or three chapters.... While they were somewhat rushed feeling, It was still not as bad as it could have been honestly.
How do you feel about FFX
@@SobrietyandSolace Honestly haven't gotten very far in FFX.... That's the one with Tidus, Waka, and Yuna, right? I know a bit about the storyline and I think that I might like it if I actually put in the time to play it... idk though...
After I finished FF VII Remake and Rebirth, a friend recommended XV to me.
And I have to say that the 15 has grown on me even more than any other part I've played.
I love open world, the battle system (I don't use the waitmode) and I don't even need to start with the Regalia (all versions).
And the OST gave me chills. Especially “Apocalypse Noctis”
When I think of FFVII's graphics, the wall jpg of Midgar is always the first thing that comes to mind.
In the 15th, everything is "alive" up to the horizon and the day-night cycle also brings in dynamism.
And I also particularly like the little things, such as Noctis getting dirty from fighting and fishing, or his hairstyle no longer being neat due to the rain.
I also like the dynamic between the guys more.
In the 7, I'm particularly bothered by the whining and pushy nature of Tifa's character.
The story of 15 is a bit confusing, I don't want to contradict that, but since I know or have all the media around, I can figure out the connections.
The story of 7 is largely known, but now the changes make the story more complicated for players who know the original.
As far as linear the chapters go after leaving Altissia before arriving Insomnia, FF VII Rebirth is no different.
And I thought it was really good that it had the chance to travel back into the past again, for example to take a deep breath before the journey with the bros came to an end.
And I actually enjoyed doing that again.
The campfire scene at the end of FFXV killed me.
Just the boys and the crackling of the fire.
There is no need for dramatic musical accompaniment to make this scene so emotionally powerful.
Which was already introduced very well in Crisis Core.
And brought tears to my eyes in both.
😭
Since I've found Zack to be my favorite FFVII character since Crisis Core, I'm naturally very excited to see how he fits into the whole story.
All in all, I'm really looking forward to the third part of the 7.
But the 15 will probably remain number one for me for the time being.
I will never be over Final Fantasy XV. It's been years since I completed it, and it still gets me.
I'm really due for a replay.
thanks for checking this one out! it's a wonderful game and i will never get over the ending.
When you were talking about how Gladio was doing squats like Zack that's because the director for Final Fantasy XV also Directed Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
He Directed these this is all I know of.
1. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
2. Final Fantasy Type-0.
3. Final Fantasy XV.
For those who do not understand the last scene with Noctis and Luna. They are not alive. Both are DEAD. This scene shows the two in the afterlife where they are together in their dream of their wedding. This is Noctis and Luna's "FINAL FANTASY". And at the end they close their eyes and sleep means that they have fulfilled their task and can now rest together in this dream in peace.
There's a lot of people spreading hate on the game. But even with it's initial release and without the new DLCs and add ons, I really enjoyed the game. It was a bit annoying though how much of an open world it is and I kept it running enemies that were much stronger than me lol But I absolutely loved the game and enjoyed it. Though I ended up always with button-mashing in each battle lol
I get D's in offense all the time because I tend to overwhelm 99% of the enemies with a single warp-strike from Ragnarok. But no biggie. I actually fell in love with the game through a demo I downloaded before the main release... got to fight the behemoth and got access to Ramuh. it was pretty sick.... this is the only game I'd like to be ported to pc specifically for the better graphics capabilities.
The song is so impactful this game is super underrated
Tbh, FFXV’s story isn’t its strongest suit but the bond of Noctis and his friends.
Imo, out of all the groups in FF franchise. Noctis and his friends has the best and most organic friendship ever. It just feels so real.
Sure, it has flaws but the roadtrip with the bros and the ending was beautifully done.
I. Bawled my eyes out at the end. I agree with you fully. These characters were my friends. We all journeyed together. I have three brothers, so it hit pretty hard. But although the game wasn’t perfect. It hit so hard and well in the end. Loved it.
2 games made me cry so far. this and nier automata. such a phenomenal game
FLIPPY BOYS!
I wish I had friends like these fellas.
Im so glad you decided to put this up, I really enjoyed getting to watch this! Haha i love that you mention the power of friendship and then went on to enjoy Kingdom Hearts after this 😅
May your heart be your guiding key.
FFXV was a great game
You should play the Ardyn DLC, it adds a lot of insight into pretty much everything about, he was almost more of a victim than Noct was in all this.
Your reactions to the different scenes are to fucking precious, for once youtube algorithm does a good job.
So awesome to see your playthrough of this game! I love your work V, so much fun.
Thank you so much for watching!
Fuck why did I do this to myself and watch
FFXV put me in tears literally every time after the kingdom of insomnia fell
I've always been interested in xv but haven't gotten around to it yet. From what I can tell it's vibe of bonding with those closest to you and doing anything and everything to protect them really resonates with me! Also that ending was something else, and totally go the wheels turning on connecting its ending to another game ending/beginning?? This is definitely going on the must play list and now I have some fuel to fill up a notebook or two of theories! Thank you for sharing your experience with game Violet! And you walk tall too my friend!
If you ever have the time I recommend giving this game a chance. It's beautiful and heart warming and gut wrenching. I think you would find the experience worth it.
