Final Fantasy XV SPOILER THREAD
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
I was lvl 36 when I got to ravus, so I had to go back and level some. That 8000 gp food in altissia that adds 4000 hp and makes you elemental immune makes the game too easy though. Used it on both ravus and the final fights (you don't take damage from ifrit, you can sit there and press circle and win)
Without knowing what to abuse, such as food or doing sidequests, this game can be a bit too difficult for the average gamer. I might have been able to kill ravus at that lvl but it would have taken a really long time. But with food it becomes too easy, you can easily double your stats (the other food you can get easily and is op is the one at hunter HQ that adds 2000 hp and 400 attack, almost doubling everyone's attack at that level)
All in all the combat is fun, but the gameplay just isn't particularly balanced
(Food is too powerful, no drawbacks from using items, for example)

You didn't have to grind, you can chip at him solo the whole fight by warping on the ledges and waiting for him to finish whatever attack he does, took me less than 15 minutes and I was only 37.
That just doesn't feel fun at all though. There was one boss, an onimusha, I just sat there with a gun and killed, but regretted it. Not very enjoyable at all
IMO the best fight in the game was aranae

The fight is kinda garbage even if you're at a higher level, your pals die in less than one minute because the AI is retarded and you're left at the mercy of holding evade and warping left and right becaude Ravus rarely stops attacking.
His next project is a new IP.

Penelo was a Jared before her time

Jared was probably the butler there even before King Regis was born. Think of the stories this man, Jared, could tell.

I love that Jared has become a thing. Rest in peace Jared. You brought the laughs posthumously.

Just some random thought
the under water temple where you team up with Aranea for the first time looked absolutely stunning. I wish it were bigger and more complicated.
I wonder what he's been up to lately

So I guess we can look forward to FFXVI by Toriyama then=|

Can't we get someone with common sense instead of those two? :|

FFXII's influence.
Its fans don't call it ahead of its time for no reason.

Perhaps a Toriyama/Tabata co-directed FF can be the happy medium.
Oh wait who would write the story?
Hm yeah, only with the 4000+ hp food were they able to all stay alive. Still had to use regroup a few times
So I guess we can look forward to FFXVI by Toriyama then
Personally I hope it's Yoshida because he understands balance between story and gameplay.

Can you realistically see him moving from XIV and taking on a new project. I would love for him to do it after hearing of his work on XIV but it just seems unlikely

XVI would be a better game.... I never want him off my mmo.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
There's one death who we forgot about:
Pryna's
Then they're all going to die in the end.
Top it off with Niinou then I'm game.

Sure, they could always promote some FFXI staff on over or he can manage multiple projects at once.

FF14 would leave its prime as soon as he left, much like WoW did after its devs changed after Wrath.
It'd be worth it for an amazing FF16. I really hope it's instanced-world instead of open world. Can you imagine an FFXII style game with the progress XV made in graphics and instanced areas? A whole game of dungeons like XV and towns like Lestallum... hnnnng

I know they weren't instanced, but they might as well have been

That would be ideal. Or if he at least takes on a hands on producers role his influence may help greatly.

The power of a ponytail made of ponytails and being voiced by Miyukichi.
I think it's pretty certain. Even if she hadn't have been stabbed, it's implied through a few scenes and conversations that summoning the Astrals caused considerable strain on her body so she didn't have much time left anyway.

Yeah, Luna definitely dies if the last scene with Ardyn is to be believed.
That being said, the last we saw of her (pre-ending anyway) she was supposedly talking to Ravus and then appeared in the dream with Noctis, and then when you were back in the real world the radios and a newspaper or two would declare the the search for her body was unsuccessful, no? Could be she, like, physically transmuted into the 'world beyond' somehow, or something. Speculation goggles in force, of course. (Awyeah, that rhymed.)
But yeah, if you want vagueness, puh-well...*outstretches arms wide* The plot dips its toes in it quite a bit, lol.
The scene in the crystal and the post credits is pretty much showing us she died and is with Noctis in the afterlife. Better that way.
Not gonna lie, but I think they really wasted her. It would've been really cool to play one chapter as her.
Aranea hair could be pink
Perfo
Yeah two of the girls could get into a slap fight for no reason when one of them is perfectly capable of just punching the others lights out
Lightning will be back if that happens.
so reading that best ending thread, did i miss something with ff xv's ending? okay so you kill ifirt. then you get stabbed by knights of the round. then you go kill ardyn. then you reunite with lunafreeto. then you say that you love your bros. maybe it would feel better if everything leading up to it wasn't so half baked after the first few chapters.

No, you missed nothing. I mean, it was a good-ish ending. But the person who said it was better than IX's is straight trippin'
Noctis only just arrived back and they're all like "let's go after Ardyn". Seriously? after 10 years they decide to just go without meeting other old friends or letting Noctis getting used to what's going on?
I really hope the patch will expand the final chapter a bit more.

she is one of the best characters in the game. very reminiscent of Beatrix.
she was a very good part of the game. and that scene where she joins the party randomly while i was fighting a red giant in duscae was just... wow.
