Final Fantasy XV May 24 update adds survey to title screen regarding future updates
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
It was (is?) the same as FFXIII threads back in the day. I predicted it would happen but oh I hoped so much to be wrong....
On topic, I plan to request more lore.

I was gonna jump on this game on the sale that's currently ongoing on EU PSN.
But I thought it better to wait for the E3 sale coupled with the Spend 100$ and get 15$ promo that the US PSN is gonna be doing.
Is it really worth waiting for the game to get more updates before I get into it? I gotta say the game seems like a lot of fun and they've certainly seemed to have added and fixed a hefty amount of stuff since it's original release.
Plus, that music

Bah jump in have a good time. Combat is fun ,story is whatever I liked it not gonna pretend that's a popular thing tho they dropped the ball. Main characters are a good time,some sides are good some aren't. They can't fix the story tho so jump in
Yes the music is fantastic
O and great villain

If you follow gaf for every single opinion and hop on hype trains, you would miss several good games such as doom and Nier automata.
And the story changes you're expecting it won't be fixed that dream is dead.

you know after Nier, i think GAF has completely lost its cred for requesting games for me
was not expecting this place to shit on Nier with the way that game plays

To be fair, the game has several issues such as performance and combat. But overlooking such aspects is well hard for some.

Join us my friend in the club. You missed us becuase we're quite here. Nier is great.
Yeah. If you play through it now, you should be able to understand what's going on. The story isn't incomplete lol. You just kinda need to watch the movie to understand what's going on in the first chapter, the movie sets up the game.
And the best part of the game is its combat system, it's up there in terms of fun action rpgs.

I wish they would fix the framepacing in hq mode, but I guess it's not happening anymore. Talk about wasted resources.

Damn it. FF XIV set a bad precedent for them. They've released the game and now they want to spend the next year or two trying to make it good. Not how games should be developed.
It's perfectly reasonable to be pissed at SE at how they handled this game. Maybe if they would have properly developed the game in the first place we would have liked it. Also, it's pretty ironic that you pan people for being ignorant on game development and somehow act like what is happening here is normal. I would also say the game is probably panned more than praised but it's hard to offer definitive evidence either way.

Yes, random shitposts in a GAF thread is clearly proof that more people dislike XV than like it.
Nice bubble you're in there.
I see a lot of praise for FFXV's combat and while I think teh core foundation for the system is excellent and great, it lacks depth and is not that great. And no, adding the air attack node on the Ascension system doesn't make the combat more involved or complicated. The game is very basic and hollow.
Yeah okay let me live in my internet bubble of 81 review, 7,6 user critic (GameFAQS wont be counted of course!), the daily reddit threads on the ff subreddit where people are disappointed, my friends whom i sold the game to by word by mouth who none of them finished it, the daily NeoGAF shitposts, the newer Amazon reviews, my german forums Multimediaxis where people even dont post about the game anymore which is the FF German community from back then
My bubble is cool what about yours? What do you like about the game? You dont even tell me. I wanted to like it at the end but reflected about it and found the faults astonshing. It is in no way a shit game, but a disappointing Final Fantasy. Let us end this here. I know people like the game and I am glad many bought it so we maybe get a good one in the future.

I just have a thing for playing finished games. I don't mind waiting - hype trains don't get to me anymore cause I already have more games to play than time to play them.

Not to mention SE themselves think it's lacking enough to have to patch in essential game elements.

This game constantly going on sale at BB. I have a $5 voucher that's about to expire. As someone who loves the KH series combat, y'all think it's worth a play through for the cheap?? Thanks
It plays nothing like KH.

Anybody who was even on FFXV GAF's hype train BEFORE the game released knows the truth.
Then there a drastic shift soon after launch when most of us beat it and was like, "Wait....."
I really did defend this game when I beat it near launch. I thought it was a magical suicide mission ride. Lmao but then it hit me that too many issues was glaring. For every one good thing, there are 5 bad things.

Ugh this! I appreciate the updates but the same complaint still remains from when it came out. Fix the story, fix the framepacing.

You are defending a game that the developer themselves know is incomplete and severely lacking. This kind of practice shouldn't be defended by gamers.

3 forums (including GAF lol), Amazon comments and your buddies
that's not a bubble at all
Oh please
FFXV updated! = "when r they gonna update shit gameplay??"
FFXV to add free content = "when r dey gonna add the story"
Patch adds cutscenes, improves chapters = "omfg wish they'd give up already"
DLC for the game drops on X date = "early access game so shit even devs know its shit so shit"
FFXV breaks sales record for series = (actually these threads die off pretty fast because people have less ground to shitpost)
FFXV director talks about future of series = "Tabata is shit pls fire whens Nomura"
You can't discuss specific flaws of the combat because the "whole system is shit". You can't discuss specific flaws of the story because "the whole story is shit". You can't even praise the visuals because an optional mode has frame pacing issues (and the game "actually looks like shit.")
It's futile to actually try to discuss XV in a rational manner because people only walk in the threads to shovel salt all over the damn place.
There's never a discussion taking place in these threads. Just the same few shitposters having a field day and people who'd actually like to discuss the game wasting time refuting their nonsense.
See? Like this shit
In what world was FFXV not a success?
The whole reason the game is getting extensive DLC is because it performed better than they expected it to

Honestly id be fine if they just moved on and put the people on this to work on getting other big projects out sooner...like ff7 r and kh3. I enjoyed xv quite a bit, but after 105 hours and the platinum, im not going to play it
Again
Again
FF7 and KH3 aren't coming out any time soon which is why they want to extend the longevity of this game as much as possible. It's a tactic. They're trying to also increase the LTD sales for the product so it's guised as a success.

It's already a success
Lemme rephrase. the largest financial success for FF in history and a mega blockbuster hit that sold dozens of millions.
I left off around chapter 10, but it blew mind how many podcasts and journos were giving this game such a free pass even amidst their own self-admittance of the severity of problems on display. It really felt like most were struggling to find justification with the most tepid praise due to some stalwart need to see a mainline success beyond the MMO.
"Everything built for players to do turned out garbage, but I loved Prompto's photos! You really get a sense of comraderie despite all these unexplained story beats! I can't explain it, but I really enjoyed the game despite its issues!"

No, I'm not. I've actually posted numerous negative things about the game in previous threads.
But the game is complete. They are adding random free content here and there along with the DLC but the main game is done. "When are they going to add the story LOL!!" is not valid criticism. It is trolling.
... Huh?
Not like there is evidence that the dislikes are minority either
If you mention sales I can just counter with No Man's Sky
I know a persona who played the game, but still haven't finished because he is waiting for it to be complete....
At this point I don't think he'll finish it lol.

So what do we mention than? The fact it sold well will get written off, its meta will get written off, hell its #6 on this very sites goty. What's the metric
Nothing will probably come close to FFXI in that regard.
If you want to get real technical, they have been updating the game regularly because a) it is part of a new business model to extend the life of big budget games, b) they want the game to get better so that the people who did not buy at launch will be more tempted to in the near future and c) an improved or new FFXV experience thanks to these updates means more people come back for the mulitplayer / expansion, generating far better profits.
What was confusing about my post?

Guys, just wanted you all to know I liked FFXV, it's a good game. A praisepost for everyone.
We know that FFXV was a success already.

Nah, it's a failure and SE is desperate to get more sales out of it hence they are releasing post-launch updates for it and keeping it supported even though they are also committed to the DLC.
Every FF that I have played has its own share of flaws and despite that, I have loved them. FFXV is no different here, to me atleast. There is no perfect FF that everyone universally loves and praises aside from, maybe, FFVI. But that was a product of time when SE released games like Chrono Trigger. It also had all the big names behind it from Ito, Kitase, Nomura to Sakaguchi.
