I kinda enjoyed it at first, and then it just got tedious. I lost interest. I got to chapter 4, and I was done. Sending it to Amazon for the resell.

Yeah this game just wasn't for you then. Most will tell you the game is pretty fun up to chapter 8

Up to Chapter 8? Then what? LOL. Whether it's Chapter 4 or Chapter 8, I think I'd prefer to cut ties sooner than later.

I beat it and went back and played some of the end game content.
I can't dismiss how piss poor the story was delivered and how many opportunities they missed.
Great graphics, great music, and a solid foundation as far as combat aren't enough for me to say a game is great.
At best I found the game a 7/10 all things considered.

End game dungeons are trash let's not forget that.

How'd you feel about the ending?

How'd you feel about the ending?

I enjoyed watching it for the graphics.
Even though I understood it was a big moment, I felt indifferent to it since the core game gives you so little in terms of story.
I thought "this moment could have been so much more powerful if they bothered to build these characters up and give us set pieces that connected the gamer with them more".
The ending on its own was dope to me, (even though I feel that it should have been one, of 2 or 3 different endings) but I was already soured from the 30 hours before it.

I give it a 8 and your review seems more logical. But some of the comments here are just hatin ass nikkas who troll and dont even own the game.

I liked the story but i watched both moives prior so i had the background. And they are adding another ending with dlc. Im assuming u get a chance to right all the wrongs of the rushed story and see a greater ending hopefully. One can only hope but i feel its going to be on some sonic adventure shyt.
Like you get a chance to play each character individually. Then after u beat each individual story u get some secret boss at the end with the true ending. That would be dope and a good way to fix the game. But i really loved the game.

Is it confirmed that there's only 1 ending?

30 hours before it? Umm...could've sworn all of ya'll (you included) stated that chapter 9-14 were rushed and fairly short, as in way under 12 hours or so. And for all intents and purposes, your main complaints of the game by your word is being from those chapters onwards.

I feel the ending was great and rather disagree with you on on needing to build up the main characters in that ending, all things considered, except

Spoiler

for the brief portion with Luna and them being married at the end. Tho that's supposed to all be in the afterlife and whatnot.

. Just my thoughts on it.

Word. I also gave it an 8 all said and done. Game definitely has its fair share of flaws and its a gotdamn shame that it could've been so much more, but I enjoyed it immensely nonethless and I feel that the games strengths and things done right overpower its shortcomings. I am very much looking forward to seeing how they'll fix it tho, as while it's rather a bad precedent in gaming for all the fiascos in place to even require this post game fix and I underdig folks like @Kamikaze Revy's gripes about that very sentiment. However, I'm looking at it akin to a movie receiving a much needed Director's Cut some time after theater release when it hits blu ray and that things like studio input, time constraints, etc. are the real culprit in its shortcomings, rather than the devs/director vision, as in those things obstructed it for the most part. To that note, seeing how the fix is going to be free (sans the planned DLC portions, which I don't think really encompasses the fixing issues portion), it's even better than that movie sort of situation too.

FFXV does a horrible job with its story. Period.
The ending could have had more impact if they had a more powerful story leading up to it.

We keep tip toeing around this for the sake of spoilers but so far most people here have either have no intention of beating it or have already beaten it so I'll just put this out there for open discussion:
Chapter 1 - 8 is an open world with a ton of fun things open to do if you so choose. Hunts, item chasing, level grinding, fishing, chocobos, etc. Throughout this time there is little to no story elements outside of some horribly placed cut scenes that are delivered in a "oh by the way, this happened" sort of way.
IMO the cardinal sin of this game (outside of a piss poor story) is that Chapter 9 - 14 completely negates everything you did in the previous chapters. The few fights you have are boss fights that have nothing to do with your weapons or experience level, and they even take away all of your weapons and gear and have you slugging through the most boring dungeon in the existence of video games with nothing but a magical ring.

For me, these things hurt my overall experience way too much for me to enjoy it as much as I wanted to. I explained all that to support why I made the statement about the 30 hours before the ending.
Like I said a bunch of times before; there isn't going to be a definitive review of this game. Its going to very greatly based on what people enjoy most in video games and how much they are willing to overlook.
I don't see a right or wrong in the opinions I've read for the most part. To me, a game without a strong story makes everything I'm doing in the game pointless. This is why my favorite games are Metal Gear Solid. Yes the stories turned out to be a confusing mess, but they did A LOT to feed the player information about every detail possible and I love stuff like that. Every character had a story, and felt real to me. I don't see that in FFXV.

This is all without mentioning anything about the glaring mistakes FFXV made with the combat in general.
