he skipped again.

 

[Yabberwocky]

An emotional moment, brought to you by Coleman!

 

[Gentleman Jack]

What is this dumbshit ending haha

 

[ponpo]

poetry.


POETRY

 

[jb1234]

Maybe context will help but that was a lot of really bad writing.

 

[Pooya]

looking at what happened to FF directors in the past 10 years, that's probably what will happen to him. No one actually likes to direct main FF, nothing good comes out of it lol.

 

[Via Purifico]

Oh boy.

 

[Rainy]

lmao

what.

 

[archvile7]

Knights of the Round is the final finisher!

Last fight should have been more though. Straight rip off of Omnislash ending in FFVII.

 

[raven777]

Nomura's name was not in the credits at all.

I expected it to be at least on character design (that's kinda already in the main menu)
and original story&concept or special thanks of some sort, so it would be surprise if his name was not that at all.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

This awesome credit music again.

 

[paolo11]

I don't get the ending at all.

 

[Gemeanie]

I couldn't watch the stream;-; Did Noctis & bros. die too?

 

[Socivol]

Maybe context will help but that was a lot of really bad writing.

Yeah I really need context around this because it just seems like Noctis dies for no reason and his friends are left fighting iron giants?! I was really hoping the ending would be solid since they KNEW how important a good story was unfortunately it looks pretty disappointing. Hopefully playing and getting the context around everything will make it better but I doubt it.

 

[MechaX]

.... Yeah, the general public reaction to this ending is going to be... hilarious, to say the least.

 

[Gurnlei]

So...

Spoiler

Did Noctis die at the end or was the campfire scene after the final fight?

 

[F0rneus]

Well the music's great, and when the camera works the gameplay looks pretty fun. So I'm still day one. But yeah...

 

[Jocund]

So Noctis dies in order to totally finish off Ardyn, then he is reunited with Luna in the afterlife?

 

[Socivol]

I couldn't watch the stream;-; Did Noctis & bros. die too?

Noctis did, it seemed like the other guys didn't.

 

[Thoraxes]

So...

Spoiler

No need to spoiler tag in this spoiler thread.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Yeah I am crazy lost...

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Damn, I'm missing Sakaguchi.

 

[AlexFlame116]

So Noctis dies in order to totally finish off Ardyn, then he is reunited with Luna in the afterlife?

I think so...

 

[Boke1879]

.... Yeah, the general public reaction to this ending is going to be... hilarious, to say the least.

General public will love the game and probably say the ending is a bit weak to be honest but I'll be no more than that. People here will make more of a big deal about it.

 

[Charamiwa]

I don't get the ending at all.

After all the batshit crazy things that happened that led to Noctis' sacrifice, we go back to the camp right before where he says to his friends that he can't do it alone.

It's a way to end on a lowkey notes that highlights the heart of the game I guess.

 

[Byvar]

So with Luna both dead and alive in a dream ending, this makes both of the leakers correct.
Either way, Tabata always manages to create the same ending, even though he's not the writer. I wonder why. This time he even copied the "what-if" ending from Type-0.

 

[Slater]

Yeah, so he died, and the last scene is before they go back to Insomina. He even says he's made piece with whats going to happen.

 

[gosoxtim]

So Noctis dies in order to totally finish off Ardyn, then he is reunited with Luna in the afterlife?

yeah in a titanic way of showing it

 

[Yasumi]

I enjoyed that. Looking forward to next week.

 

[Vamphuntr]

It looked exactly like a Final Fantasy game. Crazy flashy fighting scenes, epic music with non nonsensical and poor writing.

 

[yunbuns]

Well the ring also got destroyed right so maybe he sacrificed himself to destroy it too? It's hard to understand the ending without knowing what happens throughout the game.

 

[Captain Europe]

So I thought, oh fun a live stream on YouTube... and then it ended up being the ending.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

So Noctis dies in order to totally finish off Ardyn, then he is reunited with Luna in the afterlife?

I guess they all died. Noctis died in the throne room, while the bros died fighting the Iron Giants outside(which is why they showed up in the afterlife).

 

[Aters]

Damn. Went out for movie, come back and the ending is out.

 

[Inuhanyou]

So Noctis dies in order to totally finish off Ardyn, then he is reunited with Luna in the afterlife?

Supposedly Noctis and his pals all die to finish off Ardyn for good.

The campfire sequence is not actually after the battle but right before they embark on the road to Insomnia for the final time.

The city is already dead and buried. So essentially what we're seeing in the scene after the final credits is a world saved and what's left is an abandoned and decayed Kingdom

 

[Gemeanie]

Noctis did, it seemed like the other guys didn't.

Thanks.

For a second I thought Tabata become the true successor of Suda51's Kill The Past

Edit: Looks like he is after all lol

 

[jb1234]

It looked exactly like a Final Fantasy game. Crazy flashy fighting scenes, epic music with non nonsensical and poor writing.

It reminded me of FFXIII more than anything else. Which is not the game I wanted to be reminded of.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Probably. Even with their comments about the ending, Edge said that they liked the game and from what I understand and hear, they're very hard on games when it comes to reviewing them

 

[ponpo]

omg the logo scene

POETRRRYYYY

 

[Charalambos]

Wow I'm in love with this OST. 60$ for Yoko Shimomura OST game isn't all that bad. The ending and final boss were lackluster IMO.

 

[Yabberwocky]

It reminded me of FFXIII more than anything else. Which is not the game I wanted to be reminded of.

Yeah, it reminded me of FFXIII's ending plus LR's ending, with a bit of VII's imagery.

 

[Via Purifico]

Sooo Luna is Etro?

 

[QuantumZebra]

.... Yeah, the general public reaction to this ending is going to be... hilarious, to say the least.

I'm trying to remain somewhat in the dark as I do plan on eventually playing this (my main reason for being here is to see if its a Type-0 kinda thing and a waste of $60)....


But how is it overall, to people who know the whole story? Is it more likely to annoy/piss off a FFVII fan who was skeptical of this to begin with?

 

[Frumix]

Fuck you, what does that reference even supposed to mean.

 

[SargerusBR]

So...Luna was Etro all along?

 

[AlexFlame116]

So Noctis sacrifices his life destroying Ardyn, thus ending the line of Lucis forevermore and that's why the ring was destroyed too. He finally rests in the afterlife with Luna in paradise. I think.

 

[Thoraxes]

yeah in a titanic way of showing it

Credits music.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

General public will love the game and probably say the ending is a bit weak to be honest but I'll be no more than that. People here will make more of a big deal about it.

The general public will never reach the ending because most people never finish games.

 

[ponpo]

Come on lets see that post game content.

 

[saher]

So...

Spoiler

Did Noctis die at the end or was the campfire scene after the final fight?

Yeah it looks to me like the lucis line ended with noctis dying and the last scene was a dream or an illusion or whatever
