Met my first superboss in Final Fantasy XV. I was fighting the Midgardsorm on my way to the Glacier Grotto. The snake was pretty easy now at level 82, killed it swiftly with my bad ass Royal Arms and when I turned to bask in the sweet victory that followed, a fucking Magitek Engine dropped down on my head. It was the MAX-Angelus, roaring at level 99 and I can safely say I got my ass handed to me. Never seen that boss before. Next time I will get it for sure, I was just not prepared for that sort of ass kicking.
End game in FF XV is so good. Doing hunts, driving around off road with the Big Foot, camping with the boys and kicking Magitek Soldiers all day long is so much fun. I love this world, it´s incredible in its design and every location, every mountain, forest or dungeon tells a story. It´s magnificent to behold. The monster design is also great and taking down big beast such as the Behemoth or the Zu fills my body with so much adrenaline. The detail that the devs poured into these creatures is insane.
And the combat is excellent. This is one the major reasons why I can´t seem to get tired of this game. Warping around with Noctis makes me feel so cool and the Royal Arms is stylish and fun to use. Star of the Rogue, Scepter of the Pious and Blade of the Mystic is my go to weapon along with Ragnarok for that sweet warp strike bonus. Hits like a truck. The variation is already superb when it comes to Noctis playstyle so the possiblity of swapping characters, each that also comes with a different playstyle, just makes the combat endlessly enjoyable.
And to top that off, I tried out Armiger Unleashed and that was absolutely ridiculously cool. Fueled with the Power of the Kings, Noctis transforms into a god, wielding every Royal Arms with devastating special attacks. I get the goose bumps every time I try use it now.
This game has gotten such good content post launch, it has changed the entire nature of it. I just wished it could have been like this at release when I first played it, would have been a much greater experience then. But nevermind, I´m glad Square Enix didn´t abandon it and supported it to the end. Would have loved those cancelled DLCs too. I want more content, lol.
