I wouldn't say Ch. 13 has puzzles, so much as it asks you to be more thoughtful, whether it's backtracking through rooms opened via switchboard, or avoiding enemies via hiding, or zoning/MP management with the ring, or proper spacing with the sword (since your warp-strike is gone). Other bits of variety like the evasion sequences with the invincible daemon or shutting down the poison gas valve mix up the way you approach the level.

Regarding Prompto being an MT, the full details of this will surely be in the DLC, but it still fits the main narrative since prior to finding Prompto, we're reading tons of notes on how the empire was cloning people so they had "biological material" to create daemons. Prompto now knows he was artificially manufactured and feels "less than human," but similar to the motel scene where Noct accepts Prompto despite his pleb standing, so too does Noct like Prompto regardless of his origin. It's a touching moment, especially after Noct was worried all this time for Prompto's safety.

As I said earlier in my screenshots-laden post, I really like Ch. 13. Great chapter.

The metal gear and RE shout outs in the game were awesome in their own ways.

 

[Amirnol]

Ch12 with Shiva really needed a whole dungeon. Conceptually its a great idea and there is a ton of potentially good shit in there. The game lacked a bit in the dungeon department.

I really felt this too. One of the leaks mentioned a snowy area nearly completed that was cut, hopelly we'll see that resurface in DLC.

Despite liking the game, I do feel that leaving out important details about the story and characters for dlc is pretty annoying especially for such a big thing. If I hadn't of read this thread I don't think I would have fully understood the Prompto reveal. It came off really lackluster and not as impactful as it should of been imo.

I think the Prompto MT thing hurts even more because in a game with an actual plot that existed and that fleshed out characters who weren't called Noctis, that could have been an AMAZING subplot/reveal. But Noctis is the only person with development or complexity, so it just kind of exists so Prompto can open a door.

More could be done, sure, but if you saw the motel scene earlier in the game, and if you read all the daemon notes in the lab, the reveal nicely reinforces that the friends love each other for who they are at heart. The devs could've just put another switch there for the door, but the added story detail adds some genuine sweetness.

 

[LordKasual]

You didn't the first time and you didn't just now the second time...so I don't think you would ever.

Alright,

The MT thing was explained in the lab notes in CH.13, unless you ignored them.

Final Fantasy has never had good puzzles. Well, until Pitoss.

I know you hate Ch.13, but nobody is "making up" anything. They just had a different experience than you. (?!!?!?!)

And I can objectively assure you this game would not be a better game if Ch.10-13 did not happen.

Exactly. I personally don't see how such a thing can be excused when FF games are known for having crazy reveals and twists, ex:

Spoiler

Tidus not being real, Cloud being in Nibelhiem, Zidane's true origin, etc

. All these got proper build up and time spent on the revelation. The Prompto reveal is cool in theory but has a terrible execution.

I could maybe forgive them for expanding on his background in dlc if the story had been better told and had more content.

I really don't think it's meant to be a twist of that sort. It's just another insecurity of Prompto's, alongside the pleb stuff addressed in the motel scene, and another way to show they love each other.

The entire reason Irvine doesn't want to shoot Edea during the assassination plot was because he knows who she is and can't bring himself to kill her. They even mention the GF memory loss at the very beginning of the game.

The orphanage reveal isn't perfect but it isn't as half-assed as people think it is.

His dad being an important member of the Empire is a pretty big deal to me. Prompto being fat as kid is something that is okay to be in a small cutscene at camp but his entire origin shouldn't just boil down to 'whatever dude you're still one of us lol'. Even side characters in previous games still had time dedicated to discovering their own backgrounds and personal issues.

lol aight bruh

Yeah FF8 does set up the GF memory loss plot, but it's not done all that well. I think some of the GF side effect comments might be missable dialogue from NPCs too. But the plot twist isn't out of nowhere.

It's okay. That's a detail that I think you have to play through the game again to really catch. I think VIII also suffers from the fact that everyone in the party, outside of Rinoa and Squall, don't get any development so that probably didn't help things. Like ZeroX03 said, it's set up but not well enough.

I've always assumed that the picture belongs to a different trip than the one featured in A King's Tale (If that one is even canon, the game hints at Regis just coming up with a story for Noctis).

We know from developer interviews that the Gladio, Prompto and Ignis DLC episodes will feature new gameplay (action, shooter, and tactical styles, respectively), so in the event of a Luna DLC episode, she could have unique non-violent gameplay that could focus on, say, solving Zelda-style environmental puzzles, or dialogue wheels negotiating with NPCs, or commanding her dogs to perform tasks (think DD in MGSV), or maybe even healing and buffing a Nyx-style support character who actually does the fighting, the two working together to operate mechanisms in a dungeon. A Luna DLC would fit nicely as a playable flashback that starts at the end of the cutscene between chapters 6 and 7, when Luna looks out the window thinking about Noctis; they could fade to white and begin the flashback a year earlier or so. Speaking of Noctis, her DLC could also include writing letters to him, and exploring her manor and the Tenebrae dungeon, two areas that were apparently cut. Could also flesh out her relationship with Noctis, Ravus and Gentiana, and maybe show more of the Emperor, who could visit her.

Eh I can't agree with that. Irvine definitely gets ignored and Quistis's development gets dropped halfway through but everyone else actually goes through quite a bit by the end, especially Selphie.

While I do think Rinoa, Squall, Laguna and Seifer get the brunt of the focus there's still enough throughout the game to develop the rest of the cast.

The Orphanage twist is more about its poor execution rather than buildup since the twist is actually pretty major for the game and I'm not talking about the memory loss.

Prompto unsuccessfully trying to get with Cindy after 10 years is the game's biggest tragedy. I mean Jesus Christ dude move on.

It is annoying that they seemingly want to keep true to the "four brothers" theme to the point that making it "five brothers" would feel like a sacrilege. I mean, the first art had Regis, Clarus, Cor and Cid, A Kings Tale has Regis, Weskahm, Cid and Clarus, and this picture has Regis, Weskahm, Cid and Cor. Why not just have Regis, Clarus, Cid, Weskham and Cor together? Fuck it if it just happens to be one more than Noctis's group, if we are lead to believe Regis's tight group consisted of those five, show it that way!

Here is something Yoshinori Kitase said about Hironobu Sakaguchi's involvement with Chrono Trigger:

Kitase: I hadn’t thought about it that deeply, but Sakaguchi insisted that we should focus on building these characters consistently and thoroughly. It left a big impression on me. Even at the very end, just before the final deadline, Sakaguchi was saying we should add extra scenes to flesh out the characters. Tokita did Marle’s scenes, and I did Lucca’s.

With FFVIII, Kitase's team were pretty much on their own because Sakaguchi was physically in Hawaii working on FFIX which was developed at the same time. I think if Sakaguchi had a closer look at FFVIII he would definitely have told them to flesh out the characters more.

But that chapter is obviously more about the Empire and the technology that they make use of. How the army is mobilized and the daemons

If Astrals cannot truly die then Ifrit will come back with a vengeance isn't he?

The worse that could happen is another War of the Gods and some damage to the world. But the plague is gone at least. And the Shiva harem is still around to help I guess.
