Speaking of scores, how did 13 beat 13-2...

XIII is 6/10 for me.

I watched a walkthrough of XIII2 and it manages to look even more underwhelming and worse.

Cripes, the spoiler sensitivity.

Holy shit, dude. I'm not gonna judge you for your preferences, but if even shit like this is such a terrible spoiler, the only choice is to stay away from FFXV threads until you play the game. There's no way people wouldn't even talk about trivial stuff like that without tags.

The impressions are a lot more positive than I expected from here, I think that bodes quite well.



People consider different things spoilers, but if you knew how sensitive you were to spoilers, why would you even participate in this thread?

Huh, I didn't expect these reactions. The rules in the OP suggest using spoiler tags generously for a reason. This is supposed to be a spoiler-free zone...

I figured the stuff above would definitely be the kinds of things that not everyone would want to know or see, thus a simple spoiler tag would go a long way.

"I beat the game at character level
Over9000!!!
"

Not difficult... and those who want to see can choose to because they know the context of the spoiler and can decide if it is something they want to see or not.

Telling me you beat a game at lvl 20, or 40, or 60 goes a long way to let me get a sense of when it may be over while progressing through. Some I may, or may NOT, want to know.

That car image above is from official PR screenshot. Nothing spoiler about it.

This I did not know. My apologies..

A disclaimer in the post would have went a long way... :p

Those 13 games were...bleh. Though I honestly found the battle system in LR a lot of fun.

Can't wait for 15, Deluxe Edition coming in Tuesday..

I don't consider any of those spoilers though. Thats why 'spoiler free' environments are inherently flawed, there's no strict definition for what constitutes a spoiler

Anyone who considers themselves sensitive to information about this game should not be in any thread for it.

I don't know why I am torturing myself by looking in this thread. Between jealousy of those that have the game and fear of spoilers I am not getting anything good here. I just can't help it though! Tuesday can't come quick enough.

Still on chapter 1 lol spent like 3 hours already here.

Going to leave this thread now. I'll come back here right before the review thread/OT thread pops up but until then, see ya!
 
Was in Gamestop for the sales, and naturally the workers kept asking me things like every five minutes which is what they do at Gamestop, and it eventually led to one of them telling me it wasn't too late to preorder FFXV, that they were in the back and had more open for preorders.

I've never thought about store theft until a few hours ago.
 
This game is on a fast track of becoming my biggest gaming disappointment, and I only have myself to blame.

Maybe it's a good thing to go in with lesser expectations. From what I've read, I'll absolutely have some problems but it doesn't sound bad. It'll just depend on how the story plays out for me and how I'll feel about certain other things I've peeked at.

I'm pretty sure it'll be better than XIII, but truth be told, when it comes to Final Fantasy I guess I'm easier to please depending on various factors. I really loved XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, for example, despite their issues. VIII is top-tier for me, as is XII, and I'm seeing similar complaints between XII and XV especially when it comes to the story.

XV so far sounds like another flawed but good installment.

13's story wasn't much to write home about, but the sequel got considerably worse in both story and character for me. LR was even worse again. I didn't love the copy/paste corridor hell from the first game, but it was gorgeous. The sequels had bigger levels, but they weren't quite as exciting visually, and still felt repetitive. Dat LR's combat, tho.

He really is. Noctis doesn't deserve him.
He does! I got a really touching scene with him and Noctis yesterday. I can also say those dialogue tress DO lead to different outcomes in some situations. The really touching scene was because of my choices I saw it play out differently in the voice actor video they released.

Wow that's quite different from most impressions, is there a particular reason for this?
I haven't finished the game (on chapter 12) but since chapter 9 everything just keeps getting worse. The game wasn't made linear for a clearer focus on story (no story anyway) but cause it's obvious they ran out of time and money. It's embarrassingly bad. The game really needs to pick up in these next 4 chapters.
 
Ended game. I will need some time to gather my thoughts and share the final impressions meanwhile enjoy these GIFs.

No hyperbole. I legit had teary eyes during the end. This has been a long journey. The comment from Sora about an 'impactful ending' was not wrong at all.

Dude, chill out, lol. I was in similar position as yourself and I am really happy how it turned out once the nightmarish chapter
13
was over.

Perhaps this is me trying to make myself feel better but I'm thinking about all my favorite games and there isn't a single one that doesn't have at least a couple parts that I absolutely dread. This applies to every FF as well.
