Anyone remember the announcement trailer? So many juicy story bits that never made it in.

Finished it yesterday - what a chore.
Good : - Music. Indifferent : - Characters. They are fun, but very much stick to their stereotypes (The strong one, the smart one, the comedy one). Basically the four characters are the teenage mutant turtles. Bad : - Story. Most of the 'story' happens off screen, your party very rarely are involved with the plot and the plot is told to the player is a really, really poor way that often leaves you confused as to what is happening and what you are doing. - Combat. Awful. See Dragons Age for how to impliment group dynamics into a RPG. This is just so repetitive and lacking any need for tactics, and the magic system is so lacking. Please, please do not bring this shitty combat to the FF7 remake. - Open World. Not really that open, big or interesting ultimately. 4/10 for me. A poor game unable to tell an interesting story crippled with boring combat and it's way to easy to outscale the game.... |

Never mind, the remaster of 10 year old game that did everything this game did way better (and then some) will be coming out soon. I'll seek solace in that for a while before I dare to examine the FFVII remake. Don't know about anyone else but I am predicting a disaster featuring ADHD button mashing with bland "re-imaginings" of the once brilliant cast and a bunch of shoehorned in material from the crappy side games. God I'm in a bad mood.

Patch out now.
What the hell are these idiots doing to this game? Theyve completely messed up the display now chopping of several inches either side of the screen and an inch or so both top and bottom. I've no options to go back to how it used to be so now i'm stuck with pointless big black boarders and a small display. Get and patch this patch you fools! |

You just missed my post above yours.... Anyway the patch is total bollocks.
I'll copy my post from a gaming forum: So this patch is complete crap. Now we have crappy display problems, that being the first thing I noticed, the game at times appears very laggy and I can no longer continue the story as I need to approach that dog at the start of chapter 5. I've tried it several times, but yet to try it since turning the console off as I've given up for the day. Hopefully next time I turn the console on it'll acknowledge i've approached the dog to trigger the sequence. |

I got the platinum today. Got to say I'm surprised at just how much of the post game content isn't necessary for the platinum trophy. You don't have to touch any of the sealed dungeons for example
Previous final fantasies I've played with trophy support have required you to do pretty much everything including the kitchen sink to get the platinum |

Whats the average EXP level Noctis should be at to stand a chance at finishing the game on Normal?
I'm now on Chapter 5, after the opening cutscene. Currently on level 34. I've been grinding sidequests. I've still got crap weapons as it appears Cid wont upgrade my weapons as the items required need to be searched for in some cases areas not opened up yet. I'm looking forward to some of the extra items we get due to having the season pass(the attires for Noctis look gay as anything so wont bother using them). |

I think I'll just finish this now and sell it. Went backwith Umbra but bored out of my skull. I have grown to despise Noctis. The random 'urghs', 'uhs' etc when he does something like fill a car with fuel or step up a kerb have always annoyed me as they are far too loud. He's just awful, dad dead-laugh and joke five mins later. Fiancee dead grump a bit-fine 10 mins later, never mentions his mate's blindness. Really badly scripted. Still not as bad as 12 which I despised. This just feels rushed and horrible. Chapters 3 to 12 were great- either side absolutely shocking.

Biggest gaming letdown of the year for me. I really don't know what those 8 or 9 outta 10 reviews were about. Story, Combat and Characters - these are the core things of a FF game. Get all three of those things right and you have a classic entry, two right and you've got a good game, one right and it can still be decent. However this game got none right, the first FF where all 3 key components were botched.
Ugh. |

And yet reviews are calling this a "return to form". The game is an utter tragedy just metal gear solid v.
I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Thought it was just me tetsuya nomura probably shouldn't have been pulled from the project.It's got me questioning the future of my favourite series.

He was taken off this project for FFVII:R and IMO that was a bad idea. FFVII:R can wait, FFXV needed urgent attention and should have been finished first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcUSXub_ypU ^ Where did this game go? This was not Versus XIII, this was FFXV. It looked like completed material and it's just gone. I wonder how much money this whole project cost them? Something tells me that is why FFVII:R has been sliced into full price pieces and seems to be going full speed ahead. |

Ugh...just did chapter 13. Almost gave it up for the night. And the preceding couple of chapters were way too short compared to it
Spoiler
Gone back the Lucis to finish of some side quests - got the materials to do a bunch of upgrades now with Cid. |

I've just done the Malmino Thicket... really awful section in my opinion.
Camera is a nightmare and the spaces are WAY too small, Bandersnatch was tough for me at lv.30 ![]() Playing on regular PS4 and the frame pacing is horrible, maybe Nixxes can help solve the problem as they fixed it for ROTTR. Dunno if I'll go back, game is alittle boring with next to no story, bland environments... SPOILERS: Read some of the stuff they cut out on Neogaf.com - seems a damned shame as there was some really cool ideas in there... Missing out the whole section in the snowy mountains, where Noctis was meant to get Shiva seems like a really bad decision... maybe they'll patch that in? ![]() Also Luna >>> Stella was a ghost the ENTIRE game if it had been FFVersus XIII ![]() I'm worried for Kingdom Hearts III... Numora's been on some shit & I feel like I don't have a clue where on earth the story/characters are going... still FROZEN! & hopefully live action Beauty and the BEAST <3
