What chapter are you on?

3 lol

I wonder if you will still consider it 7/10 after completing the story.

I was thinking the same thing. I would have probably said the same around chapter 3.

Yeah I'm still on chapter 3 doing side quests and hunts that are everywhere.

You pretty much nailed it, TC. Im sorry to say that the combat does not evolve and the story doesnt exist.

Magic is abysmal. It feels like they tried to copy the bomb throwing mechanic from the Witcher and severely missed the mark. The fact that you cannot turn off friendly fire (which shouldnt exist) makes magic useless.

When was kingdom hearts released? 15 years ago?? The combat in that game is still better than this. The product of all of squareenixs efforts: a lazy, slapped-together combat system. Theres no strategy.

These idiots at squareenix have been just useless and confused since that fucking merger. Yeah, I like dragon quest as much as the next guy, but I would have been willing to let it die to keep Squaresoft alive. What will it take for these people to realize that they stepped on the most important toes in the company and now theyve got a bunch of assholes trying to cobble together the best elements of every popular game?

Open world action rpg. In theory, it shouldnt have been so disappointing. Plus, it was virtually unplayable without the colossal update.

There's an upgrade node that eliminates friendly fire for magic, but i don't want to waste ap on it when magic is so ass.

I will eventually. Working on the main game and the dlc first lol


Yeah, that's one thing I do like about this game is that there is a shit ton of post game content. One of them is a dungeon that doesn't allow you to use items at all. Like I never knew how dependent I was on them until I entered that dungeon lol.

I was 11 hours into the game before I used an item for the first time.

I've complete abandoned using magic though. I hate it.

I definitely don't hate the game, it just doesn't seem to know what it wants to do most of the time.

I seem to be overleveled most of the time too. I'm not even grinding, just doing all the side quests and Amy hunts my level or a few above.

The load times are insane though, I've got a massive stockpile of healing items from never needing them as the game has been super easy, money seems to have no use outside of car parts and weapons, i hate how i can't level up unless I go to a camp or bed.

In the past, living beyond 30-35 was considered special. Making it to 50 made you elderly by the standards of those times.

Nowadays we have to plan to live to 70 or older. Usually over 80.

There's just not enough to fill your mind for that long. The older you get, the worse things get but the more you appreciate the good moments.

Disliking FFXV is so in.

Amazing game; one of the best FFs. Good story; the DLC's do fill in the gaps quite well and I'm willing to bet a lot of the people negging the game have not completed them; the vanilla game was rushed out after wildly unfavorable development process that is no fault of the actual developers, but corporate stupidity. Appreciate the game and imo ignore the very fashionable opinions you'll read on this board and the FFXV board.

My main issue is the loading times honestly. They're brutal.

You can do them post game if you want since you'll be running separate stats and equipment from your main game.

You can legit just hold a button down and occasionally use potions and the warping and beat the game.

People argue that its just as braindead as the other FF titles, but its just not true.

I'll give you brain dead like ff8, but 7,9, and 10 a required some level of involvement

The game is an example of great ideas with horrendous execution.

Some of them are done well enough. So far the game is the very definition of a 7/10. A lot to like but so much that holds it back.

I feel like all I'm doing is pressing circle a lot in combat. There's other stuff to do, but largely seems to be circle spam.

This car makes no sense. I can't really control it. I can switch to the off road version, but it can't be pushed if I run out of gas.

The music is excellent.

Is most of this game just hunting random monsters at every place I stop?

The load times are some of the worst I've encountered this Gen.

I despise how magic is handled.

There's definitely stuff I enjoy, but there's a lot that makes no sense.

I respect this. 99% of the rest don't, and feel the need to make sure I inhale their fucking smoke as I leave most public areas.

I'm all about respect in general. I'm super self conscious about where I smoke. Never ever do it near entrances or something.
