While we love Final Fantasy XV, there were some things about it that were a bit, well, lame. Even great games get bogged down by uninteresting features, silly plot, and... strange product placement. Here are some things we thought were kinda lame about Final Fantasy XV. What things did YOU think were lame about the game? Sound off in the comments!
The Leaderboard i don't focus much on the bad things about a game, the only thing thats realy bugging me in the game is the power lvl of the ring of the lucii. for something thats suposed to be the weapon that will kill the immortals and make the wearer die earlier in his/her life becouse it drains the life energy of the wearer, you would think it woud be a good weapon that everyone wants to use, but instead it can only take on low lvl enemy's and it's useless against bosses and high lvl enemys.
I 100% bet if you was complaining About X-2 you wouldn’t be saying a lack of male characters. And yes Cindy is a bit sexualize but so is gladiolus. Not every game needs a op female character.
@@forcinalucas He mean a few cutscenes I guess, but even if you skip the cutscenes u get poor contact with the character in the game... I finished the game once in 2016 and i almost don't remember what's about her except that she is a oracle
They should have known, since they made the exact same plot as HIMYM in the end - which was seen as the worst series final ever: Chasing for the future wife for most of the time, hyping the viewer/player up and then when it turns to the end... kill her right away! What kind of story writer thinks that someone will watch this and have a good experience?
Spoiler Alert The thing that bugged me was that despite the game focusing on the close bond between the chocobros the final boss basically just just waves his hand and everyone who is not the main character falls down with no effort, I honestly don't mind that they where taken down but at least have it be from something a little more gradual like being taken down one by one until only Noctis remains or taking a hit for someone else or having the their weapons break.
I loved the game but the summoning was really bad. the opportunity came up at times where you were fighting weakling monsters, but never when you were in a real jam. I miss having some type of control like technique points to summon when I wanted to.
I've worked as a mechanic I can tell you I've met female mechanics who where about that some days when it's really hot because really unless it's your hands or welding there's not much you need in terms of safety gear that wouldn't be able to be worn with her costume. To be honest I think cindy is homage to the classic north american image of a garage and there's almost always images from things like beer calendars of half naked woman
alex hernandez pretty sure gladious outfit is more ridiculous given he fights monsters with his bare chest exposed, but that got a pass. Nice insight man.
"To be honest I think cindy is homage to the classic north american image of a garage" To be honest, Cindy is pure fan service. Her outfit can be based off of an overly sexualized female mechanic, but her design pays no homage to anything. It's simply there for fan service.
Lamest thing was Lunafreya for sure. Iris, Cidney and *Aranea* were great on their own, but a complete waste of potential is Luna. For a main FF heroine she doesn't deserve the title and I cared next to nothing about her. Lame.
If it wasnt for sjw pc cunts we would have had a bit more of her story, like how she was abused by Vestael, how sick she was and her condition kept getting worse by absorbing the scourge. So she got changed for the movie (which i liked ) where she is portraited as a strong and independent black woman (otherwise cunts would bitch like crazy) . So many scenes got cut cuz fear of crying and moaning by cunts and because it wasnt coherent (just like the bitching cunts). Still i liked her in the game. And someone shallow is geralt of rivia not lunafreya. She anything BUT an empty emotionless puppet.
Although this is my favourite FF (love brotherhood concept, combat gameplay and open world) but i agree everything you said, same thought. The lamest thing is, Gladio and Iris never mourn his own father Clarus's death but mourn and take revenge on behalf of Jared, dont even know who the hell was he until the kid shown sad, oh that old dude. No sign of emotional attachment with Regis and Luna, just few cutscenes dont really make it happen. Not to mention, Ravus i dont understand you at all!!!
Well, i was around level 35 when I first beat the game. Only after completing that I went to do the side quests, hunting, etc... I remember reaching 99 to do the high level secret dungeons.
did he mention how lame the final boss was? How you have access to so few spells? How the summons are worthless? How The loading times were awful? How the cast is uninspiring? How boring it overall is? I felt like sleeping while playing the game. I guess I'll never enjoy the dark, gripping versus XIII I hoped for. A massive letdown is all that "game" is. It pales in comparison to other fleshed out games that came out around the same time (nier automata is one). To enjoy this you must have very low standards and in some way be responsible for the sinking of RPG ff games' quality these past few years.
Naw man FFXV was the greatest FF game character-wise and world building wise, but definitely not story-telling-wise, but then again, recent FF stories were all shet at story telling (I'm talking about the masterpiece that is FFXIII series that had a horrible presentation but awesome story and lore). NieR: Automata honestly bored me till the third part, then I'm all like "dis game da best eva." Mainly cuz the story telling wasn't that good either, half the times you have no idea what's going on. Like the melodrama in the very beginning, who cares if they die if their data are all backed-up? Oh cuz in the third play through you find out that 2B has been spending most of her robot life building a friendship with 9S even before you start playing but she had to keep killing him despite liking him! Anyways, back to FFXV. Did you even bother understanding what Ardyn wanted? Ardyn's real name is unknown. The name Ardyn is taken from Bahamut's orginial name "Nadir" (or Nadyr) which rearranges to Ardyn. His announcement that his actual name is Lucis Caelum basically meant that Noctis's family is a fake, that the original king's (who betrayed the then-healer Ardyn) name was Izunia and stole that Lucis Caelum name from Ardyn. Ardyn, by changing his name to Bahamut's name and the original king's name basically meant that he threw away his own identity to exact his vengeance. He made himself the walking representation of his hatred. Summary on how Ardyn was betrayed: Back then he had Luna's role of curing the Starscourge. However, after healing many people of this, his achievements was stolen by the king who stole his name. The summons then abandoned him and refused to save him. However, by then he was already immortal. Yes Arydn got what he wanted, he took the revenge that he wanted if you weren't paying attention. Basically what he wanted to do was take revenge on Noctis's entire family lineage and to end the lineage with Noctis (one of the many reasons he killed Luna) along with taking his revenge on the summons. This was all accomplished when Noctis charged his ring with all of those and used them to kill Ardyn. Now here's another fact: GENTIANA WAS NOT ALWAYS SHIVA. Look at the Cosmogony book, the winged being is Bahamut and the woman with her eyes closed is Shiva, then on another page it shows Gentiana along with Shiva. However, that giant statue that you saw on the train wasn't a statue, it was actually Shiva's corpse. After being killed by Ardyn, Shiva had to take the form of her messenger, Gentiana, to survive. So yes the Gentiana we know is Shiva, that just wasn't always the case. Now why did Ardyn kill Shiva? He used Shiva's corpse to freeze over Niflheim, destroying its lush land and prosperity, and invading the government and convincing them to take action and invade Insomnia. That was the only way he could ever have the power to destroy a kingdom since the original king and all the summons has abandoned him. Why did Ardyn throw Noctis in the crystal? It powered up the ring with the summons' powers along with the entire Lucis Caelum line. While he waited for the ring to charge he hung up the bodies of Iedolas, Nyx (from the movie), Luna, and King Regis (yes they weren't illusions but actual bodies) to play with as a sign of being the puppeteer who had "used" all those puppets to get him to where he is. In the end, he forced Noctis to the brink (reason for final battle) so the latter would use the ring and sacrifice his entire lineage to kill Ardyn. He succeeded. Insomnia now has no new wall or old wall, nor a king. The king's ancestors and future lineages has been destroyed. Another side note, Shiva was the person who gave Luna her ability to heal the Starscourge, their family line is also fire resistant evident by when Luna's mom was burned alive without getting hurt in the movie. The FFXV lore goes much deeping and longer... hell there's a book they recently came out with explaining its lore. It's 1000+ pages long lol. Compared to NieR: Automata which also has a lot of hidden lore, this game takes the lead easily. I'm speaking as I played NieR: Automata through many times and watched the play (the story about A2). NieR, without a doubt, has a much better execution, but at the same time, the lore isn't as deep or hard to understand. Anyways, I think there were things I said that you didn't know before and hope they made the game more enjoyable for you guys.
+Patient Ache Definitely reaching, of course the game has plenty of flaws, number 9 and number 7 were not problems at all. It's just there, say what you will about over-sexualizing woman in video game, but it was a damn sausage fest the entire time, what's wrong with some boobs every 30 minutes? +Edge of Light These are all legitimate complaints. This game was a letdown. Though I enjoyed it's first half, I will never play it again.
Then please educate me on how it wasn't. Oh right, maybe you can't because you never even bothered to read why I thought Ardyn was amazing. Heck, I didn't even write about how in depth each side character is written. Sure all their storytelling relies on paid DLC, but that's only a storytelling/marketing problem, the character and world building itself had nothing wrong with it. If you want to say why I'm wrong, I would love to be convinced otherwise, that way I'll be more educated. However, if you're just a hard head who refuses to consider anyone else's opinions besides your own despite their veracity, purely because you got your head stuck up the place where the sun doesn't shine, then you're simply another kid who tells people to shut up when things don't go his way, a pimple in TH-cam's history of cancerous comment makers.
Anytime I hear someone complain about chapter 13 I stop listening to them (unfortunately you were smart enough to put it at the end). I played chapter 13 and had no idea it was supposed to be a stealth section until other people told me. I ran around like a badass casting holy and other magic with the ring wondering when I was going to get to the challenging fight with the ring. I mean I killed an Iron Giant in the hangar for the hell of it.
PhobosDynami Difficulty isn't the issue. it's that it drags on for literal hours of the same boring corridors, tedious puzzles and repetitive jump scares. You could shave an entire hour off with no impact on the story.
I could sort of tell that they intended it to be a stealth section, I was just so over leveled by that point I gave 0 shits and ran through obliterating everything I saw lol
PhobosDynami Hahahahahaha!!!! I had the exact same experience. I actually just found out about the stealth bit from your comment....hahahahahaha. It just now daunting on me. I like tottaly killed everyone and their brother, making sure to check all areas to be certain I didn't miss anyone.
PhobosDynami If they wanted ch. 13 to be a real stealth section, holy should have been a close range stun move that didn't damage the enemies encountered and didn't involve warp dodging. He should have only had his basic dodge and only had a few charges of holy, forcing him to hide and avoid combat. His stats should have been reduced so that most enemies could kill him in a few hits. As he got closer to the crystal more abilities would become available so that the whole chapter wouldn't be a slog.
hell, when I reached level 13 I must have been over leveled because I would just intentionally run into enemies and kill them with the ring. didn't have any problems and didn't bother with stealth.
I think of all of this two, and honestly is the reason I actually dislike the game. As a fantasy world roadtrip simulator it's good, but as a final fantasy game it fails.
i realy liked chapter 13. nice change of pace. it succedded in leting you feel the Isolation and frustatiin of noctis. perfect chapter, nothing there to change
The sidequests were for me the biggest letdown. Sidequests are supposed to be fun, interesting and can even shed light into the history of the world, but every sidequest was the same: "Do the same thing, only the enemies are a few levels higher" Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?
My only problems with ffxv after the end of its lifetime is that 1. They never released the last 3 story dlc reducing them to a novel. 2. The fact that they slightly overdid it with the cup noodles. 3. We didn’t get any call backs to Nyx or any of the major character deaths in Kingsglave with the exception of king Regis, a couple of minor lines about Clarus and Nyx’s corpse and kukris and the most importantly Noct never questions what happened to his Audi.
Honestly feels like this is a tad nit-picky. I totally understand and even agree with the grievances, like not seeing any other characters in Chapter 14, but things like complaining about The Regalia/lack of female main characters seem trivial. To each their own though!
The main complaint about the Regalia surrounded the driving. It felt too restricting, and there wasn't much enjoyment in driving the dang thing. It looked awesome, but it would get really damaged if you hit a wall while going just above moderately-slow. Riding a Chocobo was more enjoyable! Originally, #15 was "A False Open World," and would've tackled how the world, in general, felt too closed off. The vast sea in sight, yet you can't swim in it because of invisible walls; gates that would literally block you off from exploring anything between tunnels; AND the driving in the game.
Like I said, I can completely agree with some of your highlights, and especially the invisible walls. I appreciate the more thorough response! Thanks for the content!
I agree with some as well, like driving restriction, but there are TONS of way more lame stuff than half on this list, like no running/warping allowed in random places,towns, and f***ing dungeons. Also game-breaking (and fun) glitches got patched quick but are still in meme circulation.
Did u also know that even when u get to fly the damn car it wont fly near lestallum and some other places it will steer away on its own? The car thing is just a loading screen so boring and even if u fast travel the loading screen is almost as long as the car drive 🙄god save us from this
FF15 interpretation of open world: "Put fences and invisible walls everywhere, we can't have the pesky gamers taking shortcuts over hills or rockformations." The thing aside from fences/invisible walls that disappointed me most about the whole open world thing is that there's basically nothing to discover if you go off route. There are no fantastic discoveries to surprise the gamer. What you see on the world map is what you get. So exploring is is pointless which makes the whole idea of having an open world pointless.
I was already so annoyed with what happened storywise before and the game criticising me all the time for going to fast with Ignis, that I just brute-forced my way through to get it past as fast as possible - which was no problem with the ring.
legit had none of those issues with this, minus the story issues but with open world games I often lose track of the story because I do everything else first
Same here.....I spent ridiculous amounts of time doing all the side quests, hunts, fishing, grinding AP, filling out Ignis' Cookbook, etc etc before returning my focus to the main story (around Chapter 14)
#3 about unbalanced leveling you say that people try to do everything before they go on to the end, and it makes the final bosses pushovers, but that's the truth about EVERY final fantasy game ever, at least the way I play. I'm a completionist, so I level high to beat all the toughest bosses, and in my case with FF15, the tough bosses come AFTER the main story because they have a way to go back to the open world. Just my thoughts, but what you said is true about every single FF.
@@creamncheese7761 what game other than 8 do bosses level up with you? 7,9,10,12 are all static as far as I know, not sure about previous ones and 13 since I've played those the least
I just can't get ONE thing - people were complaining about linear structure in X and XIII (ESPECIALLY XIII), and now they're comlaining about Open-World in XV... i just don't get it.
Lol why do people make these complaints? 1. The Regalia... did you guys expect it to go offroad in it's normal version? People keep complaining about the "lack of control".... dude it isn't supposed to be GTA lol. The car was perfect to me. I could steer and it was on the road.... kind of what a car does.... lol. 2. Lol it's literally in the settings to change the combat camera to be more distanced... but ofcourse people that put time in complaining don't take the time to solve the problem. 3. Lack of story telling? It was meant to be told and portrayed from Noctis' perspective... which it was. The story was there for anyone willing to piece it together. If you expect Final Fantasy to shove it's entire story down your throat then go play Call of Duty lol. 3 1/2. JARED. HOW DOES NO ONE KNOW WHO HE WAS?!?! They literally TELL YOU that he served Gladiolus' family. 4. More detailed and worthwhile world? ....Lol what? My first playthrough was 127 hours because I loved exploring and seeing the world that much. The spires, the meteor, the volcano where Ifrit was buried. Did yous play the game? 5. The rest aren't even worth counter pointing seeing as it's tiny nitpicks for views lol. Your taste does not define quality, therefor you not liking aspects of Final Fantasy XV - does not make them bad. Gamers have been really picky lately and it's so bothersome to me lol, it's like you's expect a game to be 100% perfect lol go play a PS2 game with those expectations.
Lol I fail to see the relevance of this comment unless your inferring towards my late comment on the video? My points weren't relevant to now. But since you mentioned it I'll update them ;) 1. The Regalia has an offroad version. 2. All my other points are still valid. Good enough for your expectations now?
Never played a final fantasy game but I ordered 15 and was blown away! Whilst I agree with the complaints the game itself was outstanding, I was absolutely in tears at the ending and I'm a 6ft3 19 Stone dude who doesn't cry. Now I can't wait to pick up some of the older games and dive into them. I just hope I don't cry like a baby like I did to Luna 😖
One thing I think XV got right was the villain. I haven't loved to hate anyone as much as Ardyn in a LONG time! I replay the game and I can't help but to smile and go "I frickin hate you dude" every time Ardyn appears. He's so slimy and perfect. I hope he gets his own DLC
From what I have seen from critics, it got decent reviews and got praises here and there, go and do some research, man. Before you use "are you on crack" insult which I don't like.
I really think that the "lost potential" or whatever of Versus XIII should have been much lower on the list. In case anyone has forgotten, Nomura is a TERRIBLE writer... have any of you actually ever tried to explain the needlessly convoluted Kingdom Hearts storyline out loud to anyone? Everyone assumes that Luna would have had a larger part in the game as an antagonist, but story info that the team has released revealed that she was going to be killed by Noctis before the game even started. Nomura also decided to turn the entire game into a musical right before he was kicked off of the project.
the story was written by Kazushige Nojima not Nomura Luna was never an antagonist, that was Stella she was gonna be killed early in the game and reappear as a ghost but you wouldn't find out she is dead until the end of the game. Also Nomura was moved off 15 to focus on kh 3 and eventually ff7r
Landing the Regalia Type-F was a gigantic annoyance. Made me wish it could hover and make landings easier. And chapter 13 was the absolute worse thing about this game for sure... it almost made me want to stop playing.
Bro i legit never had problems landing you're just bad lol and chapter 13 was chapter 13 this aint ur game... its square enix that decide how the game should play and if you are not happy with the story dont play the game bro
Patches did come out but also so did the dlcs which are promptos, Ignis side story which told what happened to fill in the gaps to the main ffxv story. While Ardyn felt dry itself but actually game the world a complete history. But the game really should've been a complete open world like final fantasy games starting with 9 and before where you could fly the care anywhere. And not crash automatically in certain no fly zones.
I did not actually mine chapter 13 all that much. What I disliked was plowing through chapters in about 5 minutes a piece. It felt like half of the game was missing.
Shaun Francois No that's what you think but I think prompto is a great character and he is so good with his Guns plus that hair style reminds me of Cloud
8 Things that really messed up FF15: 1. The annoying glitches everywhere, especially riding a car. 2. Lack off heroines. If only Lunafreya was alive and Aranea become a regular member in Noct's party. 3. Low-level storyline. Like it happened from FF8, a weak story nonetheless... 4. Expensive DLCs (That is where Square Enix's thinking because of MMO Gacha Games at fault.) 5. Don't have World Map just like used to be in previous Final Fantasy 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. 6. The death of Lunafreya... 7. Cannot able to Summons for example like Alexander or my fave Bahamut. 8. Open World. Period! Oh yeah, I get used of Fan service like Tifa (FF7), Rydia (FF4), Celes (FF6), Garnet (FF9), Ashe (FF12), Vanilla/Vanille (FF13), and Cidney & Aranea (FF15.) Chapter 13 wasn't a problem. Not bad, but shabby for some scenes. Ardyn is a fave FF15 antagonist so he deserves to be Final Boss in the game. Cup Noodles. Yummy...! やっぱつれぇわ・・・
A lot of comments saying if you want a game with female leads go play ff 10, 12 or a different game is honestly missing the point of OP. He is criticising the lack of importance of the so-called females in the game. I found this strange too, especially for Lunafreya, square hyped Luna up to the point where you would believe she would have a major part in the game whether it would be playable or contribute to most of the story but she doesn't. The fact that she is a princess, the sister of Revus, the worlds youngest oracle at the age of 24, has the ability to keep the darkness at bay(to a degree), can cure starscorge, and most importantly she is the childhood friend and fiance/wife/lover of the MAIN LEAD Noctis. You would think she wouldn't be killed immediately or have a bigger influence in the story/game but she doesn't. Aside from a few cut scenes and dialogues she is killed from the story and just brought back here and there for the sake of it and there is honestly no build up to her character(relationships,development,etc.). She felt like a side chick while Prompto is Noctis's main chick. When they unveiled her for ff15 and I saw her descriptions I thought she would be Final Fantasy's new gen Aerith, a character that we love and had influence on the story even if she died. I don't mind games with no Female leads and vice-versa but square shouldn't have made it seem like these girls have importance to the game is they don't
the story sucked, it flowed terribly. the fact they have to patch story cut scenes in AFTER its been released and everyone's already played it, it so ridiculous to me. I have really lost faith in square Enix.
FFXV is smokescreen for FFVII remake and other FF projects they needed a sacrificial lamb to get it wrong so they can no what not to do for the future...at least i hope so
omg true.... hey imsonia falls, king is death and we dont know jack what happen in our country...lets just do this side quest and find frogs... wht? lol... and how come noctis so broke!? is his father that stingy ?? and the story ... you say we have to watch the movie and anime... guess what i watch the movie 3 times and 5 times watching the anime still dont get what the hack happen on ffxv... lolololol
So the whole game was awful. I can’t believe people actually like the main characters all black everything edgelords running around complimenting each other to death. I’m all for positivity- but that’s all they are. I’m still mad about this game years later on how much of an abomination it was
I agree with you completely. Some other things I really hated were: the Ardyn boss fight as well as the leviathan boss fight. Despite by the fact that these boss fights were fancy af, they were tedious and required almost no skill. Also, the fact that the menance dungeons and many of the more useful things appear post game really grind my gears. And of course how can we not complain about the lack of exploration area in the water city? I mean the city is huge yet the players can only explore like 1/5 of its original size. This game would have been much greater had it actually been finished. I would in fact rather wait for another 2 years for the release then to have such a disappointing experience.
Jerry Ding the fuk u talking bout man almost no skill? Please redeem yourself and tell ppl the truth that fight required NO SKILL at all just hold r1 square and be done in a minute
I actually came across a glitch today playing Final Fantasy XV. I was fighting a scorpion, and it moved onto the road. But when I went after it i instantly, claimed i left the enemy's area yet the huge scorpion continued to walk around on the road...simply put it was so weird to see, and this was in the deluxe edition. I thought those sort of things would have been fixed before it's released to be honest.
Not really, it's a jarring shift in gameplay from what was being played in all the previous chapters that we had no preparation for and couldn't have seen coming. Stealth combat segments in my action RPG? What?! That, and all the random out of nowhere story revelations that felt way too rushed and crammed together. They might have worked better if they spaced them out a bit more but who knows.
Number 3 was on point! I finished the game without any potions or high potions left in Insomia on level 42 in normal mode. All you have to do is to stack at least 40 phoenix downs. Ifrit and Ardyn battlesis are like event/cut scene than a final boss fight. The summon feature makes it all easy (but awesome). Also, collecting all the ancestral weapons doesn't matter. I missed 4 of them.
Wow.. Wow. Wow! Chapter 13 was cool, it reminded me of being a child and sucking at the Res franchise... when i got through it i felt the feelings of acomplishment and sighed it off with a "that was actually a little challangeing", making it for me one of the more memorable chapters.
THANK YOU! While playing this game the first time around, I always felt like I missed stuff. I didn't even know there was an anime mini-series. Like the majority of the time a lot of important people die in this game, and they never explain how, or why. Like all the NPCs in the Empire who you THOUGHT you were going to have to fight at some point; you just start finding them dead in the later chapter (I believe 13). They never explain who Gladio fought that gave him the additional scars when he left your party. Also, I agree about the car. It's pretty boring. If they were going to give you a car, they should at least let you control it. Maybe take it off road and jump some rocks and sand dunes.
just beat this game this past weekend. The game has moments that are either really good or really disappointing. overall story is trash. Older ff's had much better story; man i miss those 4 disc ps1 ffs
You forgot #16 *SPOILERS* Summons The summons are cool, but almost never happen due to restrictions on when they can/can't show up, and even then it's basically randomized. While this does make it more satisfying to actually summon one, it makes their presence feel rather pointless. I legit never got to summon one outside of the story moments (no matter how hard I tried) until I was already at Insomnia. Together with the fact that one of the summons is a prefinal boss so you can't even use him until after the game is over and that one of the other bosses can only be summoned during one moment in a story mission makes them feel even more like a limiting afterthought.
I do like FFXV enough that I am working on getting 100% of everything in an after-game file, which has broken 200 hours. However, I can agree with all of these bad points as well. I really preferred the gameplay and missions over the weak story which is easily forgettable.
Irrelevant side quests are an essential 'must' for most games with an open world concept. Otherwise, there wouldn't be much of a point/reason to really *explore* the full content of the game!
1 year later here. The car can off road now, and also the camera can be changed in the options to far, and also the controls to be more fluid with control C. Anyone who didn't changed these settings or unlocked the car quit. Its fine, people expect something from games, and when they don't get it (or understand it) they trash it. Why are these reviews by people who haven't even finished the end game? Because if you did, you probably wouldn't have 15 things that ruined it.
5 things that ruined ff xv: Reviewers who never learned the combat, or beat the end game People who can only play turn based RPG's (for some reason) People who don't look at the options menu, to change simple things for the next 100hrs, like the camera Reviewers that jumped on the "this game failed" wagon, played for 10hrs then uploading a video trashing the mechanics they never got to TH-cam - without all these reviews hundreds of thousands of people might have played the game and liked it anyway.
Patient Ache I did bro, and it's half assed like tbh it isn't horrible ok there are worse games like cod BUT FF is a legendary title, it has to live up to it, this game is just half done man
R.E.D Music Let's all agree to disagree. I agree the story wasn't that good and the game needed much work. However, this "ass" game happened to have good reviews if you look it up 😂😂😂
Yeah I thought: You should have done this at the beginning of the game! That way I would have had interest in what was happening now and the rest of the story the game made me care about would not have to be flushed down the toilet.
I understand mist of these, but for Cindy's, most car fixes only need gloves if you don't have calluses on your hands and aren't at risk of them cracking. People I know who work in cars suggest that you don't work in fancy or new clothing. Cars involve lots of grease. (Hence the common nickname for mechanics to be grease monkeys.) This grease will stain clothes. It's slightly easier to get off skin, however. I just think that if Cindy were to need to weld anything, she would need more coverage, yes. What she's wear, if it's an old outfit of hers, is probably a smart idea if, to get under the cars, she uses a creeper (a metal, plastic or wooden board, some with padding, some not, that has wheels. Used by laying down into it and pushing with your feet). She won't have anything to harm her skin on in her back and she probably wears goggles if there's a risk of anything getting in her eyes. Her hands will do all the work, and her body barely has had to do anything.
I love the Series. .... BUT - why do I have to rest to level up - why I have to hunt to earn money and can't collect money from every encounter? - Why I feel that I button mashing? - Why the Summon battles feel like mario party... - Why can't use potions outside of battle? - I know that FF games are a bit linear but having a pointer showing me my next destination is ridiculous It's s good game but personally the battle system kinda ruined it for me
The camera sucks big time, convoluted story, unlikeable characters, generic gameplay, modern world meets fantasy world doesn't make any sense. To me, it's like GOW meets GTA meets Resident Evil. It's an okay game, not bad but not great and totally forgettable. FF Type-0 is still the best FF IMO.
It looks like it was supposed to be an edgy remake of FF7. The blonde is cloud. The normal haired guy is the guy cloud thought he was after he lost his memory(Zack?). etc. Like the FF7 early days game we never got explaining how the whole game backstory came about. Mixed with a little FF6 or something. Is one of them like vincent or sephiroth?
Ravus and Ardyn is like Sephiroth. Ravus looks like Sephiroth. And Ardyn manipulates Noctis like how Sephiroth manipulates Cloud. This isn't a FF. It's a FF7 ripoff
The only product placement that made sense was Coleman. At least they make camping supplies like tents. As far as cup noodles is concerned there is an outfit for Noctis where you wear the noodle cup as a hat. American express makes some sense since they only appear on shop windows. There is also a side game that got reworked called comrades that looked like it took place after Noctis went inside the crystal which did have Libertus and made me wonder why he wasn't in the main game as a character you encountered. As far as the car is concerned you could modify it for stronger parts and unlimited fuel as well as turning it into a monster truck so you can take it off road. I just never saw the point of the point system when you jumped off something and gained points for things like height. Now I will say I thought it was interesting to see a crossover with assassins creed and final fantasy 14 though.
The art style is great. But the graphics look like ps3. Specially in the dessert during the day frocks to mountains and even leaves look really low texture. Its also badly optimized even on console.
I did virtually no side quests and the fight with ardyn was fun and I had to prepare and strategize each phase and the second phase well... you spin in a circle at high speed while you recover health and once your home is high enough just start spamming attacks again
SOHGuy Actually you can get Carnbuncle the only exclusive thing you got to do in the demo is renaming him since carnbuncle can revive you in easy mode.
the only thing i hated about ffxv was the fact if i didn't run any sides or kill any monsters like iron giants to gain a lot of exp id be like level 25 facing the leviathan but if i did do sides and farming id be over level 45 getting to leviathan and that's including resting at goldin quay
This game made me feel like i was watching a new episode of family guy. It passes the time, it's nice enough, but ultimately it's soulless. The story is a joke. You don;t care about or understand anything going on. Motives are all over the place, deaths are irrelevant. One thing nobody really mentions is the emptiness of the open world, so thank you for putting it in your list, because the bladn nature of the open world and the sheer size of it made me feel like this was real laziness fro mthe developers as they ran out of money.
Just because it's different you call it trash >.> I've played a lot of Final Fantasy games and I think IV is still my favorite, but XV is also one of my favorites. Good story, fun gameplay, EXCELLENT music (no surprise there), and of course beautiful graphics. Definitely in my top 5.
The game was to short, meaning the main story just did not have enough twists and turns and the end seemed rushed. Wish the original developer whould have gotten to finish the game, he seems like a perfectionist just by looking in is eyes, you can just see he was the man for the job. Futher more I missed the abilities.. where the hell where all the abilities? I mean not having the original set of magics is one thing and the mixing was kind of fun to use, so I can let that slide. But no abilities? No can do, it is just to much. The game I expectes most from, just did not bring it compared to the other games. Nice graphics though, realy nice graphics indeed, I wil give them that.
Lmao I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgot about Jared. When he died and everyone was sad I was freaking out. I was like “was I not paying attention this whole time? Who is that again?”
I wanted to get to know Lunafreya more...We barely gotten to know her in the animated movie let alone in the game. Hated the camera angle during combat, hated the limited fast travel, hated the abundant fetch quests, early on, I disliked Prompto so much..If it wasn't for the Episode Prompto DLC, I'd still hate him.. The ending part, is kinda streamlined. Wish you get to see those people who you met after 10 years later. And Ravus was kinda wasted. I liked him in Episode Ignis DLC
These even aren't the worst. Worst. you can completely potion/mega potion/elixir/phoenix down way your way through the game. The combat can be stupid at times. I keep using the same attack over and over again. Not challengig at all because you don't even need to learn the enemie's Oh and the story weapons suck because it takes health from using them. That's so stupid. Why are the guns that you should use kill you?
I had no real problem with everything before the Leviathan battle. Everything after just seems rushed. Also I wouldn't have minded losing chunks of the map if it meant there would be more interesting side mission.
wait.. am i the only one who felt like chapter 9-12 was completely rushed and was just pushed through? I was in Caem and boom 3 hours later i already was in this shitty underground dungeon with 47 jumpscares to go
![FINAL FANTASY XV - Easter Eggs and References to the series! [ENG/ESP]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PDszLoYK0y8/mqdefault.jpg)
While we love Final Fantasy XV, there were some things about it that were a bit, well, lame. Even great games get bogged down by uninteresting features, silly plot, and... strange product placement. Here are some things we thought were kinda lame about Final Fantasy XV. What things did YOU think were lame about the game? Sound off in the comments!
"We" love...?
Who?
lol
The Leaderboard i don't focus much on the bad things about a game, the only thing thats realy bugging me in the game is the power lvl of the ring of the lucii. for something thats suposed to be the weapon that will kill the immortals and make the wearer die earlier in his/her life becouse it drains the life energy of the wearer, you would think it woud be a good weapon that everyone wants to use, but instead it can only take on low lvl enemy's and it's useless against bosses and high lvl enemys.
Merick Games must not know about the buff it's getting. go update if you haven't
I 100% bet if you was complaining
About X-2 you wouldn’t be saying a lack of male characters. And yes Cindy is a bit sexualize but so is gladiolus. Not every game needs a op female character.
Now the car segment is fixed, with the monster truck
Luna should've gotten more screen time .
I mean if you skip some cutscenes then you may not even know her .
why would you skip cutscenes
@@forcinalucas He mean a few cutscenes I guess, but even if you skip the cutscenes u get poor contact with the character in the game... I finished the game once in 2016 and i almost don't remember what's about her except that she is a oracle
She's forgettable. All I remember about her is....she was in the movie (that I also don't remember much about) and she died. That's it.
They should have just made her an ally...
They should have known, since they made the exact same plot as HIMYM in the end - which was seen as the worst series final ever: Chasing for the future wife for most of the time, hyping the viewer/player up and then when it turns to the end... kill her right away! What kind of story writer thinks that someone will watch this and have a good experience?
Yeah , the artwork of Luna And Noctis explain their love better then the game......
Movie Ardin creeped me out for some reason. I honestly don't know why but he did.
Than*
Spoiler Alert
The thing that bugged me was that despite the game focusing on the close bond between the chocobros the final boss basically just just waves his hand and everyone who is not the main character falls down with no effort, I honestly don't mind that they where taken down but at least have it be from something a little more gradual like being taken down one by one until only Noctis remains or taking a hit for someone else or having the their weapons break.
I loved the game but the summoning was really bad. the opportunity came up at times where you were fighting weakling monsters, but never when you were in a real jam. I miss having some type of control like technique points to summon when I wanted to.
I've worked as a mechanic I can tell you I've met female mechanics who where about that some days when it's really hot because really unless it's your hands or welding there's not much you need in terms of safety gear that wouldn't be able to be worn with her costume. To be honest I think cindy is homage to the classic north american image of a garage and there's almost always images from things like beer calendars of half naked woman
alex hernandez pretty sure gladious outfit is more ridiculous given he fights monsters with his bare chest exposed, but that got a pass. Nice insight man.
"To be honest I think cindy is homage to the classic north american image of a garage"
To be honest, Cindy is pure fan service. Her outfit can be based off of an overly sexualized female mechanic, but her design pays no homage to anything. It's simply there for fan service.
Ok stop coping bro. Female mechanics are like less than 1% and most of them dont look fit or pretty.
@@saul94923 Bro its the game like they made the outfit to fit him if you dont like it just dont play the game
Lamest thing was Lunafreya for sure. Iris, Cidney and *Aranea* were great on their own, but a complete waste of potential is Luna. For a main FF heroine she doesn't deserve the title and I cared next to nothing about her. Lame.
King Aerys II Targaryen i liked luna freya :p
It's okay to like shallow, mary sue female characters with no personalities. I'm not holding it against you. You're allowed to if you want.
If it wasnt for sjw pc cunts we would have had a bit more of her story, like how she was abused by Vestael, how sick she was and her condition kept getting worse by absorbing the scourge. So she got changed for the movie (which i liked ) where she is portraited as a strong and independent black woman (otherwise cunts would bitch like crazy) . So many scenes got cut cuz fear of crying and moaning by cunts and because it wasnt coherent (just like the bitching cunts). Still i liked her in the game. And someone shallow is geralt of rivia not lunafreya. She anything BUT an empty emotionless puppet.
kato093 by abused you mean raped? Well im glad they changed that :I
Lmao I liked everything about this comment until u mentioned iris and cidney
Although this is my favourite FF (love brotherhood concept, combat gameplay and open world) but i agree everything you said, same thought. The lamest thing is, Gladio and Iris never mourn his own father Clarus's death but mourn and take revenge on behalf of Jared, dont even know who the hell was he until the kid shown sad, oh that old dude. No sign of emotional attachment with Regis and Luna, just few cutscenes dont really make it happen. Not to mention, Ravus i dont understand you at all!!!
Yeah, I am level 55 and only in chapter 5 and I only went through the chapters because I ran out of hunts at the time.
I think that happened to everyone who lv grinded sadly noctis woulndt bathe for weeks lol i was lv 70 in chapter 4, way too op
Well, i was around level 35 when I first beat the game. Only after completing that I went to do the side quests, hunting, etc...
I remember reaching 99 to do the high level secret dungeons.
Same here I am level 92 and just started chapter 6....that’s crazy
i just got the royal edition of the game
Platinum, baby! What a game
I imagine it was pretty challenging to narrow it down to 15.
Mike Henry no, it's pretty obvious they're really reaching for problems in this video.
did he mention how lame the final boss was? How you have access to so few spells? How the summons are worthless? How The loading times were awful? How the cast is uninspiring? How boring it overall is? I felt like sleeping while playing the game. I guess I'll never enjoy the dark, gripping versus XIII I hoped for. A massive letdown is all that "game" is. It pales in comparison to other fleshed out games that came out around the same time (nier automata is one). To enjoy this you must have very low standards and in some way be responsible for the sinking of RPG ff games' quality these past few years.
Naw man FFXV was the greatest FF game character-wise and world building wise, but definitely not story-telling-wise, but then again, recent FF stories were all shet at story telling (I'm talking about the masterpiece that is FFXIII series that had a horrible presentation but awesome story and lore).
NieR: Automata honestly bored me till the third part, then I'm all like "dis game da best eva." Mainly cuz the story telling wasn't that good either, half the times you have no idea what's going on. Like the melodrama in the very beginning, who cares if they die if their data are all backed-up? Oh cuz in the third play through you find out that 2B has been spending most of her robot life building a friendship with 9S even before you start playing but she had to keep killing him despite liking him!
Anyways, back to FFXV. Did you even bother understanding what Ardyn wanted? Ardyn's real name is unknown. The name Ardyn is taken from Bahamut's orginial name "Nadir" (or Nadyr) which rearranges to Ardyn. His announcement that his actual name is Lucis Caelum basically meant that Noctis's family is a fake, that the original king's (who betrayed the then-healer Ardyn) name was Izunia and stole that Lucis Caelum name from Ardyn. Ardyn, by changing his name to Bahamut's name and the original king's name basically meant that he threw away his own identity to exact his vengeance. He made himself the walking representation of his hatred.
Summary on how Ardyn was betrayed: Back then he had Luna's role of curing the Starscourge. However, after healing many people of this, his achievements was stolen by the king who stole his name. The summons then abandoned him and refused to save him. However, by then he was already immortal.
Yes Arydn got what he wanted, he took the revenge that he wanted if you weren't paying attention. Basically what he wanted to do was take revenge on Noctis's entire family lineage and to end the lineage with Noctis (one of the many reasons he killed Luna) along with taking his revenge on the summons. This was all accomplished when Noctis charged his ring with all of those and used them to kill Ardyn.
Now here's another fact: GENTIANA WAS NOT ALWAYS SHIVA. Look at the Cosmogony book, the winged being is Bahamut and the woman with her eyes closed is Shiva, then on another page it shows Gentiana along with Shiva. However, that giant statue that you saw on the train wasn't a statue, it was actually Shiva's corpse. After being killed by Ardyn, Shiva had to take the form of her messenger, Gentiana, to survive. So yes the Gentiana we know is Shiva, that just wasn't always the case.
Now why did Ardyn kill Shiva? He used Shiva's corpse to freeze over Niflheim, destroying its lush land and prosperity, and invading the government and convincing them to take action and invade Insomnia. That was the only way he could ever have the power to destroy a kingdom since the original king and all the summons has abandoned him.
Why did Ardyn throw Noctis in the crystal? It powered up the ring with the summons' powers along with the entire Lucis Caelum line. While he waited for the ring to charge he hung up the bodies of Iedolas, Nyx (from the movie), Luna, and King Regis (yes they weren't illusions but actual bodies) to play with as a sign of being the puppeteer who had "used" all those puppets to get him to where he is. In the end, he forced Noctis to the brink (reason for final battle) so the latter would use the ring and sacrifice his entire lineage to kill Ardyn. He succeeded. Insomnia now has no new wall or old wall, nor a king. The king's ancestors and future lineages has been destroyed.
Another side note, Shiva was the person who gave Luna her ability to heal the Starscourge, their family line is also fire resistant evident by when Luna's mom was burned alive without getting hurt in the movie.
The FFXV lore goes much deeping and longer... hell there's a book they recently came out with explaining its lore. It's 1000+ pages long lol.
Compared to NieR: Automata which also has a lot of hidden lore, this game takes the lead easily. I'm speaking as I played NieR: Automata through many times and watched the play (the story about A2). NieR, without a doubt, has a much better execution, but at the same time, the lore isn't as deep or hard to understand.
Anyways, I think there were things I said that you didn't know before and hope they made the game more enjoyable for you guys.
+Patient Ache
Definitely reaching, of course the game has plenty of flaws, number 9 and number 7 were not problems at all. It's just there, say what you will about over-sexualizing woman in video game, but it was a damn sausage fest the entire time, what's wrong with some boobs every 30 minutes?
+Edge of Light These are all legitimate complaints. This game was a letdown. Though I enjoyed it's first half, I will never play it again.
Then please educate me on how it wasn't. Oh right, maybe you can't because you never even bothered to read why I thought Ardyn was amazing. Heck, I didn't even write about how in depth each side character is written. Sure all their storytelling relies on paid DLC, but that's only a storytelling/marketing problem, the character and world building itself had nothing wrong with it.
If you want to say why I'm wrong, I would love to be convinced otherwise, that way I'll be more educated. However, if you're just a hard head who refuses to consider anyone else's opinions besides your own despite their veracity, purely because you got your head stuck up the place where the sun doesn't shine, then you're simply another kid who tells people to shut up when things don't go his way, a pimple in TH-cam's history of cancerous comment makers.
Anytime I hear someone complain about chapter 13 I stop listening to them (unfortunately you were smart enough to put it at the end). I played chapter 13 and had no idea it was supposed to be a stealth section until other people told me. I ran around like a badass casting holy and other magic with the ring wondering when I was going to get to the challenging fight with the ring. I mean I killed an Iron Giant in the hangar for the hell of it.
PhobosDynami Difficulty isn't the issue. it's that it drags on for literal hours of the same boring corridors, tedious puzzles and repetitive jump scares. You could shave an entire hour off with no impact on the story.
PhobosDynami I did that too XD stealth is for noobs
I could sort of tell that they intended it to be a stealth section, I was just so over leveled by that point I gave 0 shits and ran through obliterating everything I saw lol
PhobosDynami Hahahahahaha!!!! I had the exact same experience. I actually just found out about the stealth bit from your comment....hahahahahaha. It just now daunting on me. I like tottaly killed everyone and their brother, making sure to check all areas to be certain I didn't miss anyone.
PhobosDynami If they wanted ch. 13 to be a real stealth section, holy should have been a close range stun move that didn't damage the enemies encountered and didn't involve warp dodging. He should have only had his basic dodge and only had a few charges of holy, forcing him to hide and avoid combat. His stats should have been reduced so that most enemies could kill him in a few hits. As he got closer to the crystal more abilities would become available so that the whole chapter wouldn't be a slog.
"Fanservice we get it." *goes on to say* "but Cindy is a mechanic". No, I don't think you do.
Nyx and Luna had more screentime together than Noctis and Luna
bruh
hell, when I reached level 13 I must have been over leveled because I would just intentionally run into enemies and kill them with the ring. didn't have any problems and didn't bother with stealth.
Until you got to fight the behemoth king leveled at 140.
My least favorite part of the game was the long part in between the intro and the ending CG movie.
Sooooooo basically you're passive-aggressively saying the playable part of the game itself....? o.O
Love, love, LOVE this game... but, ALL of this is true. lol. So glad I'm not the only one who thinks all of this.
I think of all of this two, and honestly is the reason I actually dislike the game. As a fantasy world roadtrip simulator it's good, but as a final fantasy game it fails.
Were you drunk when you played it?
i realy liked chapter 13. nice change of pace. it succedded in leting you feel the Isolation and frustatiin of noctis. perfect chapter, nothing there to change
me too. but everyone else seems to hate it
Yea, best chapter imo
I like hallway walking simulators too
I liked it too
@Carlos Oliveira true
The direction the game was going when it was originally versus 13 had way more promise. The trailer alone was better than the whole of ff15.
Honestly, with how bad this game was, Cindy's attire was one of the best parts of this game.
Honestly, whenever I see it on these lists of problems, I wouldn't even rank it in the top 100.
I didn't even do the stealth in chapter 13, I just used the ring's Death and Holy attacks over and over on the rogue MTs and Demons
The sidequests were for me the biggest letdown. Sidequests are supposed to be fun, interesting and can even shed light into the history of the world, but every sidequest was the same: "Do the same thing, only the enemies are a few levels higher"
Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?
Noah King yo, I need some red frogs. Can you find them for me?
Noah King can you find the dog tag for me
Yea just repetitious reasons to explore the map
They were hell boring!
Noah King hey man, im running out of stock for i can not serve good quality of food to the customer. If you dont mind bring me a sweet onion?
I can't still move on in Versus 13, I love the characters , the old noctis and stella's personality....dang why
My only problems with ffxv after the end of its lifetime is that 1. They never released the last 3 story dlc reducing them to a novel. 2. The fact that they slightly overdid it with the cup noodles. 3. We didn’t get any call backs to Nyx or any of the major character deaths in Kingsglave with the exception of king Regis, a couple of minor lines about Clarus and Nyx’s corpse and kukris and the most importantly Noct never questions what happened to his Audi.
Honestly feels like this is a tad nit-picky. I totally understand and even agree with the grievances, like not seeing any other characters in Chapter 14, but things like complaining about The Regalia/lack of female main characters seem trivial.
To each their own though!
The main complaint about the Regalia surrounded the driving. It felt too restricting, and there wasn't much enjoyment in driving the dang thing. It looked awesome, but it would get really damaged if you hit a wall while going just above moderately-slow. Riding a Chocobo was more enjoyable!
Originally, #15 was "A False Open World," and would've tackled how the world, in general, felt too closed off. The vast sea in sight, yet you can't swim in it because of invisible walls; gates that would literally block you off from exploring anything between tunnels; AND the driving in the game.
Like I said, I can completely agree with some of your highlights, and especially the invisible walls. I appreciate the more thorough response! Thanks for the content!
I agree with some as well, like driving restriction, but there are TONS of way more lame stuff than half on this list, like no running/warping allowed in random places,towns, and f***ing dungeons. Also game-breaking (and fun) glitches got patched quick but are still in meme circulation.
Did u also know that even when u get to fly the damn car it wont fly near lestallum and some other places it will steer away on its own? The car thing is just a loading screen so boring and even if u fast travel the loading screen is almost as long as the car drive 🙄god save us from this
The Leaderboard Regalia Type D was made idiots.. no need to nit pick
Oh yeah, Chapter 13 was agonizingly painful
FF15 interpretation of open world: "Put fences and invisible walls everywhere, we can't have the pesky gamers taking shortcuts over hills or rockformations." The thing aside from fences/invisible walls that disappointed me most about the whole open world thing is that there's basically nothing to discover if you go off route. There are no fantastic discoveries to surprise the gamer. What you see on the world map is what you get. So exploring is is pointless which makes the whole idea of having an open world pointless.
Landing the fuckin airship. This games punishes you for trying to explore .
don't know why everyone is so down on chapter 13 though. it wasn't the first or only time, you had to be somewhat stealthy in the game.
Kyan Walker I'm with you, I actually really enjoyed ch 13
Kyan Walker Because you have to be stealthy for upwards of two hours? It's just way too dang long.
I was already so annoyed with what happened storywise before and the game criticising me all the time for going to fast with Ignis, that I just brute-forced my way through to get it past as fast as possible - which was no problem with the ring.
I hear all these people not liking chapter 13, and then theres me... I personally loved it... Especially the car scene.
legit had none of those issues with this, minus the story issues but with open world games I often lose track of the story because I do everything else first
Same here.....I spent ridiculous amounts of time doing all the side quests, hunts, fishing, grinding AP, filling out Ignis' Cookbook, etc etc before returning my focus to the main story (around Chapter 14)
Same. Especially when they have that time skip to the future, I just went back to the past and started doing other missions
#3 about unbalanced leveling you say that people try to do everything before they go on to the end, and it makes the final bosses pushovers, but that's the truth about EVERY final fantasy game ever, at least the way I play. I'm a completionist, so I level high to beat all the toughest bosses, and in my case with FF15, the tough bosses come AFTER the main story because they have a way to go back to the open world. Just my thoughts, but what you said is true about every single FF.
Yeah, but past Final Fantasy games level up the bosses with you. Thats why in earlier games you were better off not leveling up:)
@@creamncheese7761 what game other than 8 do bosses level up with you? 7,9,10,12 are all static as far as I know, not sure about previous ones and 13 since I've played those the least
@@LepWho 7-10 do this. 13 requires you to level up in order to beat bosses
@@creamncheese7761 the only boss with any scaling in FF7 is Bizarro and Safer Sephiroth. There is no scaling in 9 or 10, everything is fixed
WHAT?! Side quests that are irrelevant to the main story?!? You don't say!!!
I just can't get ONE thing - people were complaining about linear structure in X and XIII (ESPECIALLY XIII), and now they're comlaining about Open-World in XV... i just don't get it.
It's empty and stupid. They basically took the hallway and smeared it across an uninteresting map.
Why do I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes chapter 13? I love the sense of helplessness of having to sneak through the area.
All I have to say is R.I.P one of the most possible groundbreaking games that never got made Final Fantasy Versus XIII... :/
Lol why do people make these complaints?
1. The Regalia... did you guys expect it to go offroad in it's normal version? People keep complaining about the "lack of control".... dude it isn't supposed to be GTA lol. The car was perfect to me. I could steer and it was on the road.... kind of what a car does.... lol.
2. Lol it's literally in the settings to change the combat camera to be more distanced... but ofcourse people that put time in complaining don't take the time to solve the problem.
3. Lack of story telling? It was meant to be told and portrayed from Noctis' perspective... which it was. The story was there for anyone willing to piece it together. If you expect Final Fantasy to shove it's entire story down your throat then go play Call of Duty lol.
3 1/2. JARED. HOW DOES NO ONE KNOW WHO HE WAS?!?! They literally TELL YOU that he served Gladiolus' family.
4. More detailed and worthwhile world? ....Lol what? My first playthrough was 127 hours because I loved exploring and seeing the world that much. The spires, the meteor, the volcano where Ifrit was buried. Did yous play the game?
5. The rest aren't even worth counter pointing seeing as it's tiny nitpicks for views lol. Your taste does not define quality, therefor you not liking aspects of Final Fantasy XV - does not make them bad.
Gamers have been really picky lately and it's so bothersome to me lol, it's like you's expect a game to be 100% perfect lol go play a PS2 game with those expectations.
Yeah, he should do a review 1 year later...
Lol I fail to see the relevance of this comment unless your inferring towards my late comment on the video? My points weren't relevant to now. But since you mentioned it I'll update them ;)
1. The Regalia has an offroad version.
2. All my other points are still valid.
Good enough for your expectations now?
Crossfire_Unltd FFXV was great.
You never played another Final Fantasy game have you?
Like you just can’t accept that FFXV has flaws and so when someone criticizes it, you just call them, “picky” and “haters”
Never played a final fantasy game but I ordered 15 and was blown away! Whilst I agree with the complaints the game itself was outstanding, I was absolutely in tears at the ending and I'm a 6ft3 19 Stone dude who doesn't cry. Now I can't wait to pick up some of the older games and dive into them. I just hope I don't cry like a baby like I did to Luna 😖
Final Fantasy 10 will always be my favorite. The character and story development is awesome.
Wait till u play 7,8,9 and 10
One thing I think XV got right was the villain. I haven't loved to hate anyone as much as Ardyn in a LONG time! I replay the game and I can't help but to smile and go "I frickin hate you dude" every time Ardyn appears. He's so slimy and perfect. I hope he gets his own DLC
Dude, there always has to be one PERSON who has to nitpick every single little thing in a very high-praised game -.-
From what I have seen from critics, it got decent reviews and got praises here and there, go and do some research, man. Before you use "are you on crack" insult which I don't like.
It's still high-praised in some cities/countries, duh.
Yeah I’d definitely highly praise this game, If never played any other Final Fantasy game.
This is so spot on it hurts
HusBrando you're trying to tell me cindy's outfit RUINED the game.
I really think that the "lost potential" or whatever of Versus XIII should have been much lower on the list. In case anyone has forgotten, Nomura is a TERRIBLE writer... have any of you actually ever tried to explain the needlessly convoluted Kingdom Hearts storyline out loud to anyone? Everyone assumes that Luna would have had a larger part in the game as an antagonist, but story info that the team has released revealed that she was going to be killed by Noctis before the game even started. Nomura also decided to turn the entire game into a musical right before he was kicked off of the project.
the story was written by Kazushige Nojima not Nomura
Luna was never an antagonist, that was Stella she was gonna be killed early in the game and reappear as a ghost but you wouldn't find out she is dead until the end of the game. Also Nomura was moved off 15 to focus on kh 3 and eventually ff7r
I say Final Fantasy 15 is a good "Fantasy world road trip vacation simulator"... but as a final fantasy game it clearly failed.
Landing the Regalia Type-F was a gigantic annoyance. Made me wish it could hover and make landings easier.
And chapter 13 was the absolute worse thing about this game for sure... it almost made me want to stop playing.
Bro i legit never had problems landing you're just bad lol and chapter 13 was chapter 13 this aint ur game... its square enix that decide how the game should play and if you are not happy with the story dont play the game bro
and none of those patches came out, we got the carnival thought :^)
BruceN I think the carnival was already made by the game's release. Story patching means creating scenes and dialogue and that takes time
Making prompto dab and nae nae is more important than finishing the story
*CoUGh*
They did come out thankfully
Patches did come out but also so did the dlcs which are promptos, Ignis side story which told what happened to fill in the gaps to the main ffxv story. While Ardyn felt dry itself but actually game the world a complete history. But the game really should've been a complete open world like final fantasy games starting with 9 and before where you could fly the care anywhere. And not crash automatically in certain no fly zones.
Car boys? Don't you mean Chocobros?
I did not actually mine chapter 13 all that much. What I disliked was plowing through chapters in about 5 minutes a piece. It felt like half of the game was missing.
True, somewhat in the beginning it got the Ultima Blade and was like: I've already got endgame content? How is this FF ?
Prompto is my favorite Character
Attaker Atex he's my favorite too.
Prompto sucks but maybe u like his persona
Shaun Francois No that's what you think but I think prompto is a great character and he is so good with his Guns plus that hair style reminds me of Cloud
Hes the most awesome!
8 Things that really messed up FF15:
1. The annoying glitches everywhere, especially riding a car.
2. Lack off heroines. If only Lunafreya was alive and Aranea become a regular member in Noct's party.
3. Low-level storyline. Like it happened from FF8, a weak story nonetheless...
4. Expensive DLCs (That is where Square Enix's thinking because of MMO Gacha Games at fault.)
5. Don't have World Map just like used to be in previous Final Fantasy 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10.
6. The death of Lunafreya...
7. Cannot able to Summons for example like Alexander or my fave Bahamut.
8. Open World. Period!
Oh yeah, I get used of Fan service like Tifa (FF7), Rydia (FF4), Celes (FF6), Garnet (FF9), Ashe (FF12), Vanilla/Vanille (FF13), and Cidney & Aranea (FF15.)
Chapter 13 wasn't a problem. Not bad, but shabby for some scenes. Ardyn is a fave FF15 antagonist so he deserves to be Final Boss in the game.
Cup Noodles. Yummy...!
やっぱつれぇわ・・・
北岡黎人 you could do the aranea glitch so you can have her in your party :)
A lot of comments saying if you want a game with female leads go play ff 10, 12 or a different game is honestly missing the point of OP. He is criticising the lack of importance of the so-called females in the game. I found this strange too, especially for Lunafreya, square hyped Luna up to the point where you would believe she would have a major part in the game whether it would be playable or contribute to most of the story but she doesn't.
The fact that she is a princess, the sister of Revus, the worlds youngest oracle at the age of 24, has the ability to keep the darkness at bay(to a degree), can cure starscorge, and most importantly she is the childhood friend and fiance/wife/lover of the MAIN LEAD Noctis. You would think she wouldn't be killed immediately or have a bigger influence in the story/game but she doesn't. Aside from a few cut scenes and dialogues she is killed from the story and just brought back here and there for the sake of it and there is honestly no build up to her character(relationships,development,etc.). She felt like a side chick while Prompto is Noctis's main chick.
When they unveiled her for ff15 and I saw her descriptions I thought she would be Final Fantasy's new gen Aerith, a character that we love and had influence on the story even if she died.
I don't mind games with no Female leads and vice-versa but square shouldn't have made it seem like these girls have importance to the game is they don't
the story sucked, it flowed terribly.
the fact they have to patch story cut scenes in AFTER its been released and everyone's already played it, it so ridiculous to me.
I have really lost faith in square Enix.
FFXV is smokescreen for FFVII remake and other FF projects they needed a sacrificial lamb to get it wrong so they can no what not to do for the future...at least i hope so
omg true.... hey imsonia falls, king is death and we dont know jack what happen in our country...lets just do this side quest and find frogs... wht? lol... and how come noctis so broke!? is his father that stingy ?? and the story ... you say we have to watch the movie and anime... guess what i watch the movie 3 times and 5 times watching the anime still dont get what the hack happen on ffxv... lolololol
So the whole game was awful. I can’t believe people actually like the main characters all black everything edgelords running around complimenting each other to death. I’m all for positivity- but that’s all they are. I’m still mad about this game years later on how much of an abomination it was
I'm confused about the dislikes. I agreed with everything on this list. Well done.
Whole game was lame. Nothing fit right. Whole thing was totally disjointed.
I agree with you completely. Some other things I really hated were: the Ardyn boss fight as well as the leviathan boss fight. Despite by the fact that these boss fights were fancy af, they were tedious and required almost no skill. Also, the fact that the menance dungeons and many of the more useful things appear post game really grind my gears. And of course how can we not complain about the lack of exploration area in the water city? I mean the city is huge yet the players can only explore like 1/5 of its original size. This game would have been much greater had it actually been finished. I would in fact rather wait for another 2 years for the release then to have such a disappointing experience.
Jerry Ding the fuk u talking bout man almost no skill? Please redeem yourself and tell ppl the truth that fight required NO SKILL at all just hold r1 square and be done in a minute
Number 16... it's not a real final fantasy game.. it's.. just something else.
I actually came across a glitch today playing Final Fantasy XV. I was fighting a scorpion, and it moved onto the road. But when I went after it i instantly, claimed i left the enemy's area yet the huge scorpion continued to walk around on the road...simply put it was so weird to see, and this was in the deluxe edition. I thought those sort of things would have been fixed before it's released to be honest.
I didn't take issue with Chapter 13. I just went through it and it was over before I knew it. I think people are blowing it out of proportion.
The Introspector they arent
Not really, it's a jarring shift in gameplay from what was being played in all the previous chapters that we had no preparation for and couldn't have seen coming. Stealth combat segments in my action RPG? What?!
That, and all the random out of nowhere story revelations that felt way too rushed and crammed together. They might have worked better if they spaced them out a bit more but who knows.
Every chapter after i think 7 or 8 was over before we knew it lol
With out umbra to save the day the game would have forced u to finish it
Number 3 was on point! I finished the game without any potions or high potions left in Insomia on level 42 in normal mode. All you have to do is to stack at least 40 phoenix downs. Ifrit and Ardyn battlesis are like event/cut scene than a final boss fight. The summon feature makes it all easy (but awesome). Also, collecting all the ancestral weapons doesn't matter. I missed 4 of them.
Wow.. Wow. Wow! Chapter 13 was cool, it reminded me of being a child and sucking at the Res franchise... when i got through it i felt the feelings of acomplishment and sighed it off with a "that was actually a little challangeing", making it for me one of the more memorable chapters.
If anything, IT WAS JUST TO LONG AND BORING😓😓😓
THANK YOU! While playing this game the first time around, I always felt like I missed stuff. I didn't even know there was an anime mini-series. Like the majority of the time a lot of important people die in this game, and they never explain how, or why. Like all the NPCs in the Empire who you THOUGHT you were going to have to fight at some point; you just start finding them dead in the later chapter (I believe 13). They never explain who Gladio fought that gave him the additional scars when he left your party. Also, I agree about the car. It's pretty boring. If they were going to give you a car, they should at least let you control it. Maybe take it off road and jump some rocks and sand dunes.
Tbh. I don´t mind a boys only FF, we had a Girls only FF with FF X-2 and most FF are pretty ballanced with the genders.
The thing about the landing though
It's too easy to land they should've made it harder tbh, I haven't crashed nor had troubles putting it down
just beat this game this past weekend. The game has moments that are either really good or really disappointing. overall story is trash. Older ff's had much better story; man i miss those 4 disc ps1 ffs
You forgot #16 *SPOILERS*
Summons
The summons are cool, but almost never happen due to restrictions on when they can/can't show up, and even then it's basically randomized. While this does make it more satisfying to actually summon one, it makes their presence feel rather pointless. I legit never got to summon one outside of the story moments (no matter how hard I tried) until I was already at Insomnia. Together with the fact that one of the summons is a prefinal boss so you can't even use him until after the game is over and that one of the other bosses can only be summoned during one moment in a story mission makes them feel even more like a limiting afterthought.
I do like FFXV enough that I am working on getting 100% of everything in an after-game file, which has broken 200 hours. However, I can agree with all of these bad points as well. I really preferred the gameplay and missions over the weak story which is easily forgettable.
This game is just not for you dawg
Sharp errday.
karbengo, you nailed that one right on the head. that's the worst!
Irrelevant side quests are an essential 'must' for most games with an open world concept. Otherwise, there wouldn't be much of a point/reason to really *explore* the full content of the game!
1 year later here. The car can off road now, and also the camera can be changed in the options to far, and also the controls to be more fluid with control C. Anyone who didn't changed these settings or unlocked the car quit. Its fine, people expect something from games, and when they don't get it (or understand it) they trash it. Why are these reviews by people who haven't even finished the end game? Because if you did, you probably wouldn't have 15 things that ruined it.
5 things that ruined ff xv:
Reviewers who never learned the combat, or beat the end game
People who can only play turn based RPG's (for some reason)
People who don't look at the options menu, to change simple things for the next 100hrs, like the camera
Reviewers that jumped on the "this game failed" wagon, played for 10hrs then uploading a video trashing the mechanics they never got to
TH-cam - without all these reviews hundreds of thousands of people might have played the game and liked it anyway.
Game is total ass. The story had so much potential.
R.E.D Music the story is really good if you looked into it, you're just being quite ignorant imo.
Patient Ache I did bro, and it's half assed like tbh it isn't horrible ok there are worse games like cod BUT FF is a legendary title, it has to live up to it, this game is just half done man
R.E.D Music Let's all agree to disagree. I agree the story wasn't that good and the game needed much work. However, this "ass" game happened to have good reviews if you look it up 😂😂😂
I was fortunate to have had my subtitles on during the game. Because that chapter 13 lore drop ardyn did was rediculus
Yeah I thought: You should have done this at the beginning of the game! That way I would have had interest in what was happening now and the rest of the story the game made me care about would not have to be flushed down the toilet.
I understand mist of these, but for Cindy's, most car fixes only need gloves if you don't have calluses on your hands and aren't at risk of them cracking. People I know who work in cars suggest that you don't work in fancy or new clothing. Cars involve lots of grease. (Hence the common nickname for mechanics to be grease monkeys.) This grease will stain clothes.
It's slightly easier to get off skin, however. I just think that if Cindy were to need to weld anything, she would need more coverage, yes. What she's wear, if it's an old outfit of hers, is probably a smart idea if, to get under the cars, she uses a creeper (a metal, plastic or wooden board, some with padding, some not, that has wheels. Used by laying down into it and pushing with your feet). She won't have anything to harm her skin on in her back and she probably wears goggles if there's a risk of anything getting in her eyes. Her hands will do all the work, and her body barely has had to do anything.
I love the Series. .... BUT
- why do I have to rest to level up
- why I have to hunt to earn money and can't collect money from every encounter?
- Why I feel that I button mashing?
- Why the Summon battles feel like mario party...
- Why can't use potions outside of battle?
- I know that FF games are a bit linear but having a pointer showing me my next destination is ridiculous
It's s good game but personally the battle system kinda ruined it for me
The camera sucks big time, convoluted story, unlikeable characters, generic gameplay, modern world meets fantasy world doesn't make any sense. To me, it's like GOW meets GTA meets Resident Evil. It's an okay game, not bad but not great and totally forgettable. FF Type-0 is still the best FF IMO.
It looks like it was supposed to be an edgy remake of FF7. The blonde is cloud. The normal haired guy is the guy cloud thought he was after he lost his memory(Zack?). etc. Like the FF7 early days game we never got explaining how the whole game backstory came about. Mixed with a little FF6 or something. Is one of them like vincent or sephiroth?
Ravus and Ardyn is like Sephiroth. Ravus looks like Sephiroth. And Ardyn manipulates Noctis like how Sephiroth manipulates Cloud. This isn't a FF. It's a FF7 ripoff
The only product placement that made sense was Coleman. At least they make camping supplies like tents. As far as cup noodles is concerned there is an outfit for Noctis where you wear the noodle cup as a hat. American express makes some sense since they only appear on shop windows.
There is also a side game that got reworked called comrades that looked like it took place after Noctis went inside the crystal which did have Libertus and made me wonder why he wasn't in the main game as a character you encountered. As far as the car is concerned you could modify it for stronger parts and unlimited fuel as well as turning it into a monster truck so you can take it off road. I just never saw the point of the point system when you jumped off something and gained points for things like height. Now I will say I thought it was interesting to see a crossover with assassins creed and final fantasy 14 though.
The art style is great. But the graphics look like ps3. Specially in the dessert during the day frocks to mountains and even leaves look really low texture. Its also badly optimized even on console.
I did virtually no side quests and the fight with ardyn was fun and I had to prepare and strategize each phase and the second phase well... you spin in a circle at high speed while you recover health and once your home is high enough just start spamming attacks again
One this that rustles my jimmies is that Carbuncle is an exclusive to demo users and there is only a few summons in the game.
SOHGuy Actually you can get Carnbuncle the only exclusive thing you got to do in the demo is renaming him since carnbuncle can revive you in easy mode.
the only thing i hated about ffxv was the fact if i didn't run any sides or kill any monsters like iron giants to gain a lot of exp id be like level 25 facing the leviathan but if i did do sides and farming id be over level 45 getting to leviathan
and that's including resting at goldin quay
did anyone else figure out how to become invincible throughout the entire game? i refuse to call this a final fantasy game. i miss you 9,7,13.
For number 8. what are you talking about ? prompto is one of the main characters and he might as well be a girl.
but he isn’t. which is the problem.
VINDICATION! Why can't more people understand how bad much of the game was?
This game made me feel like i was watching a new episode of family guy. It passes the time, it's nice enough, but ultimately it's soulless. The story is a joke. You don;t care about or understand anything going on. Motives are all over the place, deaths are irrelevant. One thing nobody really mentions is the emptiness of the open world, so thank you for putting it in your list, because the bladn nature of the open world and the sheer size of it made me feel like this was real laziness fro mthe developers as they ran out of money.
>FFXV
>smoothest combat mechanics
Yes, because all you do is hold down a button while it plays itself...
As a lifelong FF fan, it hurts to say that this game was trash.
as a guy who never played any other FF, it was a great disappointment
Ox Bellows dungeons were notably awesome however.
Ox Bellows it wasn't THAT bad
Just because it's different you call it trash >.> I've played a lot of Final Fantasy games and I think IV is still my favorite, but XV is also one of my favorites. Good story, fun gameplay, EXCELLENT music (no surprise there), and of course beautiful graphics. Definitely in my top 5.
Dude I played most of the final fantasy games and 15 is one of my new favorites ff games I wasn't perfect but I loved it
The game was to short, meaning the main story just did not have enough twists and turns and the end seemed rushed. Wish the original developer whould have gotten to finish the game, he seems like a perfectionist just by looking in is eyes, you can just see he was the man for the job. Futher more I missed the abilities.. where the hell where all the abilities? I mean not having the original set of magics is one thing and the mixing was kind of fun to use, so I can let that slide. But no abilities? No can do, it is just to much. The game I expectes most from, just did not bring it compared to the other games. Nice graphics though, realy nice graphics indeed, I wil give them that.
For such a huge franchise, FFXV sure has really bad writers.
Lmao I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgot about Jared. When he died and everyone was sad I was freaking out. I was like “was I not paying attention this whole time? Who is that again?”
Jump, talk, pick up, interact are all the same button. It ads an hour or two to the game jumping up and down in front of people and sparkles.
I wanted to get to know Lunafreya more...We barely gotten to know her in the animated movie let alone in the game.
Hated the camera angle during combat, hated the limited fast travel, hated the abundant fetch quests,
early on, I disliked Prompto so much..If it wasn't for the Episode Prompto DLC, I'd still hate him..
The ending part, is kinda streamlined. Wish you get to see those people who you met after 10 years later. And Ravus was kinda wasted. I liked him in Episode Ignis DLC
This game is a huge let down..... FF series is loosing it's touch in JRPG.
Final fantasy 15 is a turning point in how the mechanics go hand in hand with the story that why it is so unpolished. But then again each to their own
Hey look it's Sasuke!
Luna's death would be sadder if we saw Luna and Noct together a bit more.
These even aren't the worst.
Worst.
you can completely potion/mega potion/elixir/phoenix down way your way through the game.
The combat can be stupid at times. I keep using the same attack over and over again. Not challengig at all because you don't even need to learn the enemie's
Oh and the story weapons suck because it takes health from using them. That's so stupid. Why are the guns that you should use kill you?
Please do 107 facts of My Singing Monsters or Disney Magic Kingdoms please?
I had no real problem with everything before the Leviathan battle. Everything after just seems rushed. Also I wouldn't have minded losing chunks of the map if it meant there would be more interesting side mission.
wait.. am i the only one who felt like chapter 9-12 was completely rushed and was just pushed through? I was in Caem and boom 3 hours later i already was in this shitty underground dungeon with 47 jumpscares to go
Third
Some say when minions die, they are forced to burn in hell, forever watching themselves screaming.
