Final Fantasy XV SPOILER THREAD
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
It's also interesting that they opted to keep Luna's mother as a silhouette instead of using her appearance from Kingsglaive. It could be due to wanting to keep them separate, but it could just be based on outdated materials if the name they gave for Gladiolus' father is an indication.

That's for the player.
She's no player.
I think Noctis took it to the dream world and killed it, Freddy Krueger style.

Pryna DLC incoming.
All things considered, that chart was probably done before Kingsglaive was a thing, which explains the absence of a portrait for Sylva, Gladio's father still using the old design and his name ("Crailas" actually sounds like it could be a bad transliteration of Japanese クレイラス
etc.Rebel Leader

I picked a picture of Iris receiving flowers from Noctis. I liked how smug Noctis looked in the ending as well.
Also I bought a lot of cup noodles prior to the ending, so in the final camp scene, the bros' final meal was some cup noodles.

Lmao, what a load of cockamamie bullshit.
If SE didn't have the money flow of that MMO, you wouldn't have gotten XV or XVI this decade either.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
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.
It's literally what I wanted, so I would have been dancing in the streets.
Snoozer.
Contrary to people who thought it was too hard or long, I thought it was too easy to cheese.
Yeah, I had to fight Ravus alone for the last 1/3 of the battle. He wiped my party out in one hit several times. After a while I thought, I'm better off alone, sorry bros. ;__;
Ravus was the most challenging main story boss fight in the entire game to me.
I think their argument was that if they quickly abandoned the egregiously unfinished and almost unplayable version of XIV then they might not even get the chance to make XVI. It also makes sense to make the effort to turn it into a long term money maker like they had with XI.
Updating an MMO makes more sense to me than some of these announced additions to XV. Maybe this is a good way for them to keep staff busy making content and helping XV sell over time while planning and pre-production begins on the next big entry?

Just finished the game. That ending...was not really that great. The game for me fell really short story wise. The whole Nifelheim Empire antagonist weren't even a big part of the game. We only see those two old dudes once in a cutscene if I remember correctly. They were getting played by Ardyn and the lack of fleshing that out is just disappointing. Even Ravus was underutilized. Everything just felt so rushed when it came to the story despite having a really good start in the first couple of hours. Which is a shame because the world is pretty cool despite there being little to do in it besides hunts and fetch quests.

No. none of it.
Is it me or did the end of Platinum demo Insomnia look better than it did in the final game
This was my biggest issue with the game, even more so than Luna (all though she is a major disappointment and head-scratcher, too).
And again, seeing Ardyn and the Emperor and his cronies together on-screen, exploring that dynamic, would have made his character all the better. It would have given a lot more punch to the ending if actually saw him eroding the empire from within.
Also, Me everytime Luna was on-screen:
Just finished the game clocked at 20 hours level39, despite everything wrong with the story and Luna I have to say that i enjoyed the dynamics between Noctis and the rest of the guys, that last camp really made me shed some man tears.
Need some time to process everything, but it wasn't bad at all.

Ravus was easy. I just whaled on his back and then did a tech to eat up the time during his animation for the one AOE attack he'd use.
Early in the fight was difficult because that samurai move he kept doing would one shot everybody but gladio, but he stopped doing that and it made the fight manageable.

Beat the game. Regis and Luna needed way more game time. Should have kept Regis around for a bit because his involvement was low but the promotion hinted a key father son relation. It's a alright game but a lot of the characters felt underdeveloped and plot was poorly told.

Its really sad that SE fucked up the story so bad. some scenes in the game could have been truly great, instead we are left with some half assed crap.
Top of my head.
Why didnt the main villain get more screen time? he is great!
why did they just fastforward the scenes when Noct got sucked into the crystal then they jumped 10 years without any context and you as a player just get lost. Noct meet his friends again within a few minutes of gameplay. This could have been streched out more.
I feel the story should have been twice as long than it was for us players to understand and get some love for these characters. Its just way to fast paced without no context and at times it feels like they forgot to add scenes.

So in the thread about ps4 sales ethomaz posted a link to the FFXV prologue novella:
http://cdn.sqexeu.com/files/ff15/main_site/public/novella/FFXV_Novel_ENG.pdf
Now this seems to be a Square Enix thing because Deus Ex: Mankind divided also had a prologue short novel.
Interestingly it looks more like a script. That would have obviously been cutscenes in the game if they had time.
It mentions they drive the Audi R8 <-- Really surprised the custom Audi didn't show up in the game.
Short intro with Iris as well. Standard anime childhood friend stuff.
It has the group receiving their Crownsguard outfits.
Interestingly Prompto mentions showing those outfits to his parents.
There's a bit of a tie into Kingsglaive as well which would have worked since the start of the game is somewhat before and during the events of kingsglaive.

It would be hilarious if you asked Tabata or any of the main production leads for XV who Jared was and they would say "Who?".
Best boss theme in the game (including the final boss). So badass.

I agree. I finished the game feeling emotionally attached to her and her relationship with Noctis...whereas I felt the relationship between the main 4 guys fell flat.
You could ask them who Luna was and they would say the same thing.

True, true which is sad really.

I feel like people who don't know who Jared is at all are the same people that couldn't comprehend FFXIII introducing three words into their vocabulary (l'cie, ci'eth, fal'cie).
...never got why people were confused with these words or what they meant...it was all very self explanatory and explained to you clearly in the game very early on.
Not knowing who Jared is is your own fault for not paying attention the cut scene when you get to Leville in Lestallum.
I get how the game trying to make his death is a big deal when he lacked any depth is baaad etc etc...but not knowing of his existence? lolzzzz The game does a far worse job on leaving plot points out later on...
