You're being generous. I think at the end of Chapter 8 most people will be done with this game. I literally plowed through Chapter 9 - 15 because I just wanted it to be over and didn't want to be playing this game for any more days. I was beyond ready to move on. I felt like I was at a point where I wanted to quit but I had already devoted too many hours to just leave the game unfinished. Beating this game was a chore.
That stupid inconsequential negotiation...oh so that woman trusts me.

That will surely come in handy later

leviathan destroys the city and your girl dies and you get on a train...NOPE...THAT ENTIRE SECTION DIDNT fukkIN MATTER

I am essentially a super hardcore gamer from birth (dad was in tech ops and i had every system since colecovision as a kid) that fell off during the ps3 era...so im not as in tune with the gaming community as I was before that, and am fairly casual now so im not in tune with the gaming communityy like that anymore...

What is the general consensus on this game? Are our opinions shared?
I'd say on the coli those that have played it are 50/50.
Online I'm seeing the game receive a lot of praise. It's easy for someone to read our posts and say we're hating. Like I said before though, I think anyone who disagrees hasnt beaten the game yet.

That battle was stupid too. The game became some kid of sloppy zone of enders knock off. Flying around with a camera that looks like it's having a seizure.
That battle didn't feel the least bit epic to me. I was bored out of my mind.

Share it :yeshrug:
I never kept up with the development side of these games even though I'm a huge fan of the series.
Ok here was the plot of versus before it was rebooted into XV

-Noctis was going to die too, but In a more symbolic manner, He dies on his throne like if He was going to sleep (reference to somnus)
-
- Prompto and gladio would have betrayed Noctis at some point In The original triology, prompto because niflheim and his dad, verstael ( who was a very bigger antagonist ), gladio did it because He did approve noct as a friend but not as a king. ( like In xv)
- cor dies in The last game In Noctis arms, saying he is proud to see how He has grown up, He was also The driver with The mustache In The eralier trailer. He is an orphan, He immigrated in lucis.
- Regis dies at The end of The first game. His killer is named below.
- Stella would have lived, but not In a very good health, she is not The main antagonist of versus xiii, her parents were killed when she was a child. Her brother became a double spy for The lucis/tenebrae alliance and niflheim ( more precisely ardyn ). She suffered a near death experience, The high ranking officer In charge of her tried to kill her by orders
- There was FOUR major villains In versus XIII : Ravus in The first game, Verstael In The second game, Ardyn ( who was named arden In this time ) In The third game. Clarus amicitia ( The original who was named Noctis evil uncle by fans In e3 2013 ) was The one who killed regis and permited niflheim to secretly organise an invasion, because jealousy and consider his friend as an egoistic king ( reference to glauca )
- Ravus was more calm and used magic from tenebrae, he was blind because he could see the dead like noctis but didn't support it, He is The final boss of The first game but dies In The second game, stella kills him, without knowing it was him under The hood, because of Ardyn.
- Verstael was The most dangerous villain of versus xiii. He is obsessed with The powers of The royal blood. He used human test subjects from annexed nations of solheim and tenebrae. He infused his son prompto with magitek but it was a failure so he left him. He makes prompto betray The group and blasts some of insomnia with a magitek blast. When Ardyn kills onscreen iedolas In gralea, verstael becomes The new ruler of niiflheim, He makes experiments on both Noctis and prompto to recreate one of The being that created eos but this monstrosity kills him, this thing is The final boss of The second game, and prompto dies at The end of this battle. It's later revealed that He made a magic pact with Ardyn. Like Ravus.
- iedolas had a more important role since The peace treaty was an In game scene. He also bullies Ardyn In one scene, Noctis help The chancellor, but this was a ruse from him, playing The victim.
- Gladio takes a shot from his father destined to noctis. Noctis then kills clarus. The scene from first trailer from 2006 take place after this scene ( third game )
- Aranea had The same script, basically anti heroic, and guest character
- Gentiana had a completly different role, she was THE oracle from versus xiii. She is eventually stella close friend. She is revealed to be a descendant of The real royal bloodline making her ancestor eos. She is shiva's reincarnation. Her outfit was not The black dress she has now. Her design was more samurai-ish.

Fate of The characters :
Noctis dies ( weakened and by his own Will )
Gladio dies ( by clarus )
Prompto dies
Ignis lives. Also He is The only one who stay 100% loyal to noctis.
Stella lives
Ravus dies ( by stella )
Regis dies ( by clarus )
Cor dies ( by ardyn )
Gentiana lives and become shiva though it's implied that astral are meant to disappear at The end of The triology.
Ardyn lives in The kingdom of dead
Iedolas dies
Verstael dies
Glauca dies In a boss battle. He was already a Lucian traitor In armor. But He was not drautos. ( kingsglaives existed but not at all like now )
Aranea lives
Cid and cidney lives.
Weskham existed already and dies In versus xiii
Noctis mother was named in The triology as aulea lucis caelum. She is alive in The kingdom of dead.
Iris was not as important as now. She was also much younger.
Loqi, Nyx, Dino, Drautos didn't exist until 2011.

Gameplay :
- summons : ifrit ( solheim, traitor summon ), leviathan ( accordo ), bahamut ( niflheim ), fenrir ( tenebrae, He is only The emblem He doesn't appear ingame ), shiva ( another unamed asian-like region ), ramuh ( another unamed region ), carbuncle, titan.

- gralea is explorable, it's inspired by manchester. Solheim has arabian like locations. Accordo is linear. Insomnia palace is The final dungeon.

- Stella becomes playable after prompto death

- The ring didn't exist ( or at least not as a ring ) so ring magic didn't exist.

- no outfits and DLC. No manual driving. No regalia type.

- no timeskip



It's not Explained why tabata had to change The plot.

you can go back and look at all the old trailers and see a lot of this stuff was true had me :ohhh: but the story for would keep on getting re written so this is one of the versons of what the game could have been the character designer of the game came out on his facebook heated at Square for changing the story around he was talking about how those two dogs that followed Gentiana also had human forms

To be honest they should save the time spent developing an engine and use the current one ON FFXVI and just have a very cohesive story. Up the difficulty a bit and make a good story...You'd have a classic
posted this before but if they tried to make xv on unreal engine four it would have took them more time to rebuild the game up again and there was a contract in place to release a main line FF game this year.

Its just mindblowing how many inconsequential things happened. That whole negotiation didnt mean shyt. You hunt for weapons for 50 hours and that dont mean shyt. The more i think of it, the more upset i am.

I whoarded those little trinkets you found to forge elemental and improve weapons.

Dont mean shyt

What the fukk.

:russ:That's the thing. You don't realize how pointless everything you did was until you beat the game.
