If the leaks are true, I like the story of the released 15 better than what Vs 13 was going to be.
XV's plot isn't bad at all, but its storytelling is absolutely horrendous.

Yeah the story telling is horrendous. I think of it in terms of a concept album where they tell you set pieces of stories and you get the overall idea by the end. Yea the game had issues and gaps in the story, but I love what it became overall. It has some of the worst storytelling in a modern FF game, but I think it had one of the best stories (conceptually as well as what was presented) overall.XV's plot isn't bad at all, but its storytelling is absolutely horrendous.
Killing Stella early on in the game doesn't stop her from being important after her death. Even Luna gets at least one scene after her death. Luna's death was also the least problematic thing about her character.
At least Lunaeven if she has few cutscenes, is ingame and alive until much later,in Altissia.
Thanks for the spoiler.Snip
How does that make for a fair comparison anyway? Luna got a movie, some scenes in an anime and a game while we still know almost nothing about Stella
I guess after these leaks people should really stop blaming things on Tabata, it's pretty clear the man did an impossible job trying to make a good game that could satisfy the customers and SE management out of that developement mess. It's not his (or the dev team, or Nomura's) fault if the game feels rushed, clearly there was more developed than what we saw, it just got cut for time/budget reasons.
The only thing we can blame him for is having chosen a bad cutscene director and for not going through with all these Luna's cutscene, always go with your vision no matter how controversial it will turn out.
Thanks for the spoiler.
My feelings exactly, so I hope the changes fix it.XV's plot isn't bad at all, but its storytelling is absolutely horrendous.
Fuck no it isn't. Everyone else has been responsible enough to spoiler tag.I changed it now, but you're literally in a thread that talks about story leaks. Spoilers are kind of ... expected in places like this?
No. You are in a thread about story leaks. If you don't want spoilers, that's on you to avoid.Thanks for the spoiler.
Tell that same thing to the usual Stella fanboys who for years claimed that Stella was going to be better than Luna because reasons.
Stella fanboys believe she was going to be better because she "looks" strong and determined in that trailer when she is facing Noctis.
Because she was going to be a protagonist. Her being dead doesn't mean much.Tell that same thing to the usual Stella fanboys who for years claimed that Stella was going to be better than Luna because reasons.
Er.Because she was going to be a protagonist. Her being dead doesn't mean much.
Please elaborate.

That's a good analogy. I agree with this. Good story, horrible storytelling.Yeah the story telling is horrendous.

I asked ppl the same thing about ff verusxiii bu dum tis!!
I don't think the storytelling is horrible, it just needed a few more cutscenes in the main questline.
The environmental storytelling, optional dialogues, scenes and miniquests, in-game dialogue between the main party, radio shows, cosmogony book that tells you a little chapter on each location you find it, I think all of these are excellent. The world of Eos is very rich and I love how they handled the lore delivery in a natural way.
Of course, needing more cutscenes for the main story is a pretty major issue, I'm not saying it as if it's nothing, but to call all of the game's storytelling "horrible", I'd have to for whatever reason ignore everything that isn't a cutscene.
The game has had barely 3 years of actual development time.
I'd argue that your storytelling is pretty damn horrible if you have a strategy guide that reveals a major point about one character that is never brought up within the game. Or you know, Prompto being a Magitek warrior. That was mentioned once and then completely glossed over. Or the fact that the game wants you to feel sorry for Luna, but you never get to really meet her so even her death scene falls flat to a certain extent.
Also: JARED.
If added content allows us to play "important" characters.. they better be fleshed out or I will cry fowl. I put important in quotes because NOBODY in game but Noctis and the bros seem important to me.I won't lie.... anRegis dead, Luna dead, Aranea left the army and that's all. Nice sass though. Iris? She's a daemon slayer 10 years later and we see none of that, not even Gladio comments. Gentiana? loldlc can work but it was super ambiguous how sheAranealeft the army without getting her throat slit.
What plot point does the guide bring up?
I swear I've seen the name "Jared" posted several times here today. Who is Jared? I don't remember this guy in FFXV/
He's the butler of the Amicitia family and dies by the hands of some Niflheim guy. The game paints it as a huge tragedy, but you don't even get to know him.
That was the Duscae stinger where the radio announces the deaths of Luna and Noctis over an image (just art) of a battered Luna walking away from a war-torn landscape (presumably Insomnia).
That, of course, isn't in the game. In any form. And this demo was from March 2015 lmao.
Whoa wait what? Are you serious? I'm going to check my guide. How did I miss that? Better question, why was this not a point in the game???Verstael (the guy from the empire with a grant total of one scene) is Prompto's biological father.

Sort of. Last year the game story got rewritten because fans kept asking to play as Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto so they had to insert playable chapters for those characters into the narrative, but since we didn't have time to work on them, the decision to release them as downloads were made from the get go.

I hate this shit. They need to stop letting the fans disrupt the development.
Hahahahahaha....haha...sigh...PSY・S;226302882 said:

We just need A Realm Reborn for Final Fantasy XV.What do you guys think has the higher chances of being released as either DLC, announced patches or even future updates?
I honestly hope for all of it, but given the game's developement we can't hope for things anymore.
This is what happens when you listen to fans for better or worse.
This image is hillarious on multiple levels. Verstael being Prompto's father is obviously a huge part of it, but Weskham being white and Clarus being called Crailas and having his E3 2013 design adds another dimension to it. And for some reason Luna's mother isn't shown, even if her face was shown in Kingsglaive.
