Is Final Fantasy XV really that bad? I'm really desperate for a Final Fantasy fix but I keep hearing some bad shit about it so I never bothered to play it. Is there any redeeming qualities to play it?

It's really that fricking bad. And the PC version has a stutter issue.
Frick that sucks.. Why does it have so much positive reviews then on Steam??
The game starts by begging you to
STAND BY ME.
No. That's how you know it's terrible.
It's comfy-ish, and generally gorgeous. Performance is very hit-or-miss on PC, but I pushed through to the end. I appreciated the world, environment, and creature design, but the gameplay loop is pretty one-note with little to recommend it, and the plot is spotty at best and still feels underdeveloped, despite all the updates.
That said, if you keep your expectations low-low-low-low-LOW, and approach it as a very pretty and well-scored walking simulator, you might get some pleasure out of it. Only pick it up if it goes on sale, though.
It's a nice exploration game. The gameplay sucks, but it has some nice moments. Just don't go in expecting an epic adventure, there are far better games if that's what you're looking for.
>there are far better games if that's what you're looking for.
like what? im interested
XV haters are annoying.
make ur counter argument then i wanna hear it
we get it the game is flawed and blah blah blah failed promise blah blah blah. you just keep repeating this shit over and over like a monkey on steroids. i don't even see viii get this much hate and it's pretty much on the same boat.
>asked why game is bad
>give reasons why gane is bad
>fanboy throws a sissy fit
Wew
shrug it was an okay game but you guys act like it's the spawn of satan and you're religious nuts. like damn we get it. I hate DQ2 too but i don't go sperg about it.
Black person the OP asked why we think the game is bad and we gave a reason, what the frick are you expecting? Why don't you give a reason why you enjoy the game instead of whining?
we've been through this song and dance so many times like cycles of sin from ffx. isn't it enough to just end the cycle?
I think it's disingenuous to compare VIII and XV in that regard, even if one hates everything about VIII. It's apples to oranges -- or, rather, oranges to turnips: you can hate both (or love both), but one's love or hate for either is incommensurate to that for the other. Even if one thinks VIII is a trainwreck, it was purposefully designed to be that specific trainwreck, whereas XV was far more a victim circumstantial exigencies (mismanagement, poor planning, sunk cost, etc.) that resulted in the train jumping the tracks. For that reason (and also that it is fresher in memory), perhaps, XV inspires more dismay and ire, since it never allows the player to forget "what it could have been."
8 is a complete game.
15 is like a fricking tech demo. The bulk of the game is just running around the open plains hunting shit. Then at the very end you get rail roaded into a section that rushes the story out faster than anything I've ever seen in my life.
We're simply reciprocating the annoyance that playing FFXV has given us.
You sound fricking lazy.
i can't be lazy if you keep regurgitating the same things over and over and over and over and over again. like moths to a flame.
Why are you even bothering posting in this thread you moron?
why are you if all you're just gonna do is circlejerk over hating FFXV. we get it man it's been 7 years. TORtanic really did a number on this site
Not him but you've failed to contribute meaningfully to the thread.
Tell OP why you recommend or don't recommend XV
same with yourself, what have you honestly contributed that hasn't been memed for years?
That was my first comment, and I don't have much hate for FFXV, but I certainly have zero love for it
>why are you if all you're just gonna do is circlejerk over hating FFXV.
I'm OP here. I would like someone to convince me to play it because, I love FF and I want to play it.. But I'm starting to be convinced it sucks by other Anons in this post. But if you don't want to post that's fine.
okay then play it. it has development problems but it's still a high production square product. it's unironically like watching a movie series except half way through they throw out disk one and put in disk 4 and say tough luck b***h.
I'm only asking because FFXV is over 100 gbs of breasts and ass and I gotta free up space
it's 2021 you can afford the storage. or get faster internet. it's up to you am i your mom? it's a fun 10 hours though before the fog of fun disappears then you're kinda left with oh that's it the game has to offer?
>it's 2021 you can afford the storage.
I can and I don't feel like ordering and waiting it for weeks in the mail. And I didn't ask you about SSD cards. I'm asking you if it's good. Why are you wasting all this time saying earlier you didn't want to keep repeating yourself on why FFXV is good. You're already putting all this effort in.
Sometimes one just needs to disengage and walk away.
what are you? jesus?
what are you? a women who doesn't know when to walk away from an argument?
are you jesus tho?
>I'M LE TROLLING LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT JESUS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY
Anon..
listen man just answer the question. final fantasy isn't that serious. are you jesus?
I refuse to answer your question.
jesus.?
It has its merits but like he said about fog of fun, I got bored around 10 hours in and it was one of the first, if not the first, games to go when I needed space on my PS4 (this was a while back I play on PC these days)
Reminder this game was inspired by Witcher 3
It sucks, steer clear or buy on sale.
Its carries everything about how much you care about hanging out with your bros.
Is it really worse than 13? These days I’ve been seeing all this 13 contrarianism at the expense of 15.
oh come the frick on you gotta bring 13 into this wankery now too? SIGH HERE WE GO AGAIN
The Japanese loved 13 when it was released. They loved the linearity but everyone outside of Japan hated it for being linear.
Better than 12.
Oof.
15 has cool gameplay. But the story is pure shit. In fact, the story barely even exists.
13 isn't hated for being linear. It's hated because of the unfun mindless combat, the obnoxious characters, and the pants on dumb fricking plot, in addition to the hallway levels.
The combat is the best part of the game though. The plot isn't any worse than the average FF. I liked all the characters even Hope.
Character progression is garbage though. The Crystarium is somehow worse than the sphere grid. Not only is it braindead linear but locking off parts of it till you progress the story was just fricking moronic. Upgrading weapons is so tedious that it's not even worth it unless you're doing the shitty post game. You don't even get gil from fights which is just moronic.
I don't want to say it's bad, but it was mediocre and had no right to be as such after a decade of development.
well. yeah it did it had development issues which is why it got fricked
It's better then 13 and I enjoyed it.
better than 12
The gameplay itself is a barely-adequate ARPG that can hardly be called Final Fantasy, It would be excusable if it was a fresh IP from some obscure AA European dev. All style, no substance.
What's worse is that some moron at Squeenix wanted to get some big multimedia thing going so they gutted like half the plot so they could put it in "supplemental" material that's vital to understanding anything. Without the novel, the film, and the DLC you're strung along barely-connected events with no context.
the characters interactions are decent and you can feel attached to it so thats why some people like, but the game itself is barebones by design to sell more spin offs and DLCs, even the mechanics feels barebone.
