Ffxv is a solid game but these days if it's not perfect it's trash. Anticipated titles can't just be good
Overwatch, Witcher 3, Uncharted 4...anticipated titles that are completed (stress on the completed part) are always good. FF15 was a rush job, a pretty rush job, but a rush job non the less. RNG summons = major fail, coming from a series where that wasn't even a thing. Pretty sure no one likes random rolling their magic in RPG's....imagine that in a Zelda game. Story - Lackluster, now you might read that as narrative being bad, but its not, its basically Hamlet, however the story doesn't do match passed that comparison. Very few likeable characters.
Is the combat solid? Yes, is it a huge letdown? Hell yes.
