Final Fantasy XV SPOILER THREAD

So is there anyone here who didn't pick Cindy's picture at the end, Luna looking at Cindy then smiling was by far the best part of the ending.
I almost picked that picture because it would have been perfect but I stuck with one of the first pictures of the guys in front of the regalia at the beginning of their journey. Thematically it made the most sense to me.
 
C'mon now, it's ridiculous to not give him credit for saving that game.
He does deserve credit, yes. However the quote by him that is used in this thread is not accurate when he didn't act on it in the fist place :P

BTW, FFXIV should have been just killed for all I care. If SE didn't waste so many resources on this failure of an MMO, we could have had FFVXIII and a new mainline FFXVI.
 
Is there any explanation as to why Prompto is an MT than can grow like a normal human overtime?? It seemed kind of weird to me that a so called mechanical being can go from being overweight as a kid to skinny as a teen while growing at the same time. Am I missing something here? I am assuming it is never or will never be explained minus potentially Prompto's DLC.
 
Still can't believe that an FF game has a penis joke. Noctis also calls Ardyn a bastard and son of a bitch multiple times.

There's also some dialogue after Gladio leaves, paraphrasing,

Prompto: "Where do you think Gladio went?"
Noctis: "Probably to meet girls."
Prompto: "<pause>...son of a BITCH!"
 
I wonder if Tabata really would have preferred a 2017 release. I think I saw something where even when it was announced for September he would have preferred November so hard to say. Unless maybe that was the absolute latest they would allow him? Random speculation I know.
 
Best part is, in japanese he doesn't even say anything remotely resembling that.

btw. a question to people that fought adamantoise, did you get that BRO LINK dope af animation during the fight?

Unfortunately I hit the wrong button after 'share' and had to settle for a photo after the fight.

I got this. Doesn't seem working as intended.
 
If they can add some Ravus/Empire cutscenes it'll fix my major gripe with the story. Sure there will still be issues but that's the only glaring one in my mind.
 
Did anyone else notice that Talcott has the Cactaur figures he asks you to find for him in a sidequest on the dash of the truck when he picks you up in Chapter 14?
 
Could you imagine how much better the game would have been?

I sort of feel like the anger over the delay lessened over time when it became apparent how much better the game was looking and that the time being spent was good for it.

If they had delayed it to 2017, I would have been a bit disappointed but ultimately happy that we were getting something better out of it.

I haven't finished it yet (Still doing quests and stuff but I think I've about exhausted my options for Chapter 2 at this point) but I am having a lot of fun. I do hope that beyond what's described here we get more QoL improvements in a manner similar to the Witcher 3, but I realize not everyone is like CDPR.

I noticed this, but I'm wondering if they're always there considering Jared's grave exists before he dies, lol.
 
Fishing is the least fun thing in this game.

Well clearly Yoshida's methods to management is working with the success of FFXIV now.

I don't think you would have had either Versus XIII or XVI if XIV was just abandoned btw. Instead you would be left with a series with no good entries in the past 10 years and continued mismanagement. XV ain't exactly a convincing example that the future of mainline Final Fantasy is safe.

Lol, seriously? XD Just the grave or actually already dedicated to him with his name engraved?
I never went to Cape Caem before Iris joined me and the game told me to drive there.
 
Now that I have the plat at 75 hours...

There's still a whole lot of post-game stuff to take a look at. I've never even attempted Chocobo Racing. Haven't stepped foot into the Monster Betting arena. Still have six more dungeons or so to plow through. I probably still have over 40 hunts to do. Should I go ahead and do those or wait for the incoming patch? Hm.

The sealed dungeons are all rubbish btw. I'd say don't bother with those, the other stuff you can check out. Then wait for patches/DLC.
 
looking back at it, i remember getting to altissia and thinking "man look how huge this city is. it's going to be great to explore" only to have jack shit to do and watch it be destroyed by leviathan.

would have been nice to actually see tenebrae not from 50 miles away
 
Finished Pitioss Ruins. Was very frustrating, yet also rewarding. Don't know if it's the best or worst dungeon (took three hours to complete).

So now I have Noctis wear Ribbon and Black Hood. Is this the most optimal gear?

Yep

(Type-0 early game spoiler)
they advertised the shit out of the FOUR nations of type-0 only to bomb one entirely at the beginning of the game so there were only 3 in the game
lol.

Nothing new.

I'm also on Ch 15 and doing hunts and hoarding EXP before I do the extra dungeons. Hell, I don't even have all the Royal Arms yet.

I downloaded a bunch of games during the Black Friday sales, so I think I'm going to move onto those a revisit FFXV once it gets the Pro patch. I also hope they make some serious QoL patches.
 
Now that I have the plat at 75 hours...

The platinum trophy is really super easy, even a little bit too easy for my taste. I don't know how long it'll take me to max. out the fishing skill but I've already got pretty much every other trophy in my ~45 hours so far.
 
So we didn't get anything else about Verstael, the Magitek engineer/researcher and Prompto's alleged dad did we? Besides that one cinematic where everyone was gathered in front of the emperor.

Now that I think about it (again) ch. 13 was very strange. It was the crux of the thinly outlined narrative for me, personally -- I actually didn't mind the gameplay so much when put in context with the rest of the game. The storytelling, though, was just getting brutally eschewed.

It's just that it's both your first and last real look at the empire's shtick, and yet nothing is quite clearly explained, and the emperor comes at you as a friken daemon which you take out in a couple minutes and don't really bring up again, along with Ravus, and a daemon conspiracy is brought up through a handful of notes and left there, lol, and everything is happening so fast while feeling like such a slog in the same time somehow.

I don't and won't get to know what the full original vision for the empire and its affiliated villains were but it sucks it had to come to this. >_<

I found the Sealed Dungeons pretty great since it was encounter after encounter with no warp point MP shenanigans.
 
No, it's the picture of the Cup Noodles. That's what I chose.

Lulz were had. They sure love those fuckin noodles!

Or a picture of Jared.

Luna: *smiling and looking at the picture of Jared*
Luna: Who the fuck is Jared?
 
Looking at the guide again...


I found it interesting how Clarus - Gladio's father - uses the old long haired mugshot, basically confirming that "long haired guy" from Versus is indeed him. Ravus also seems to use a slightly different mugshot. Perhaps a leftover from his role as The Hooded Man in Versus? This is the only time we'd see his face pre-redesign if so.

I like how he's not even called Clarus on that chart. Last minute rewrites indeed.
