I will also say i enjoy the map layout and structure of this game way more than an open world or even god of war. The latter is fairly linear which is whatever, the thing that makes gow maps annoying is not being able to teleport wherever you are so it makes traversal tedious when you are cleaning up. Open world like ToTK where its just a whole lot of the same content spread out is also kind of whatever.

This game having big open zones where you can go find marks and random sidequest is almost ideal for me. I wish there were more secret zones to happen upon though but overall this map is only second to FF12 for me. Its almost completely up to you if you want to just play it as a linear experience as to let you know from the onset, “theres nothing over there”

Ok Eikon #4 its damn near just as crazy as Titan.

I haven’t went to sleep at 4AM for a game in years.

Breh I hit the part when you go after the mothercrystal at like 2am and was dog tired like “maaan let me just see how much longer this next part is then I’ll go to bed”

I was up until 5am still playing it

Creative Business 2 needs to stay away from FF games.

Keep CB1 and 3 on this series.

Gun to my head I couldn't tell you anything memorable in FFXV aside from nice graphics in one of those later cities.

I just did my first eikon fight (outside of the prologue I mean)

God damn

The initial fight, the lead up, then the transformation, along with the music, and then the actual eikon fight..Jesus

In terms of games in general was by far the dopest fukking thing iv seen so far this gen

This is literally like a playable cutscene instead of having quick time events you get those wild crazy maneuvers as moves you can do on command. I can't even understand how they topped that Titan fight but they did easily.

Yeah my favourite "Creative Business Studio" is 3 - 1 aren't too bad, 2 is meh and I'm not fukking with 4 yet. 5 are darkhorses though, they might step up as the best "Creative Business Studio" at Square yet; we'll have to wait and see.

XV still has one of the most memorable and impactful endings.

The final boss of XV they tried and failed to create the sort of cinematic battles this game makes look effortless. I don't think XV was as bad as people make it out to be. It was a flawed game but then again so is XVI but it has such high highs that many will forgive it's flaws while XV had a great ending and a solid antagonist but not much else.

This game reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy XIII from a structure standpoint. Especially how the game sections off a lot of the gameplay mechanics until past halfway and the large open fields that are mostly empty like gran pulse. The upgrades are mostly attached to monster hunts and XIII also stripped away a lot of the mechanics people liked from Final Fantasy in favor of a cinematic experience (which it failed at). Also plot details and context sectioned off in datalogs.

Was this first big boss fight…(the two…to be nondescript…fire things) jittery as fukk for y’all too? I mean, shyt looked like it was in slow motion at times.
