Or her slowly lifting it up to get a better angle, as if she's not sure she saw it correctly. "I don't think this is me, but of course it must be, how about from here."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yMcxUDuVxk this song is so good.... anyone know the lyrics? All I hear is eras Noctis, Noctis, Ignis... I have no idea but it is so damn good.
In human form (with the might of his Empire behind him), not just as a daemon shoehorned in later
Meh. The Emperor never seemed like a powerful being to me. To be honest, I never expected to fight him at all. I always thought Ardyn would stab him in the back, Kefka style, during a cutscene.
Oh well... I didn't get the cutscene, but I got to fight a monster Emperor.

Well, the rest of the people after 10 years of trailers thought the emperor would have an important role in the game.
I don't know about "dignity" - the pathetic state Iedolas and Ravus were reduced to was one thing that worked about the setup, but stronger context would definitely have helped. As it is now, those aspects almost read as a lucky accident for the former.

Eh, Aldercapt was essentially XV's Emperor Ghestal. And with his story entirely shifted to Kingsglaive, there isn't anything for him to do in the game -- all he cared about was the Crystal, and he's got it. The end.
I really hate that there's no payoff between Noctis and Luna. Even one or two Chapters of being together would have been something. I anticipated it all through Kingsglaive and 2/3 of this game for nothing. Maybe it wouldn't have rubbed me wrong if she didn't go out like such a chump.
Also, I didn't care for Prompto before, but after watching the Zu cutscene for the 30th time in a row, I wish I could just delete him from my game.

I found it really shitty that Gladio and Iris were more upset over new meme Jared's death than their own father, Regis' bro, and god knows who else they knew.
Didn't Ingus have family or what about Promto's foster parents? In fact no one was upset enough. It should of been like what happen after ch 9. At least after that.
Also I find it funny that Arenea only has one decently directed cutscene. When she attacks you at the base. Everything else is was just regular canned animations you see in side quest "cutscenes".

Oh, I'd also like a DLC that follows Ardyn in the distant past and leading up to Kingsglaive. His fighting style is similar to Noct's and his battle animations in the final fight show most of that is already animated so I think it shouldn't be too much effort.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Could I get in trouble for posting a select few images from the art book on a news site? I'm not even sure if that would count as scans for this website.
Please don't ban me, I'm trying to be a good citizen, lol.

I imagine Jared played more of a role in raising Gladio and Iris than their dad did.
Welp, finished all the Sealed Dungeons. Elder Coerls were hard as fuck to deal with, died 3 times to them, and once to Iron Giants. Glad I got challenged in the end, although the final boss was nearly irrelevant due to the Thermal Suit being so good.
So... yea, with that and the Legendary Weapons quest being done, I guess I did all the post-game content, or at least the ones that matter.
Is it worth to do all the hunts? Like at least, do you see a bunch of actually new monsters?

That being the role he eventually ends up serving doesn't mean that not adequately expanding on his character is justifiable, or a greater presence wouldn't have benefited the game.
President Shinra gets even less screentime than Gestahl, but his character is effectively and economically established during that minimal role; both in actual interactions with the party, and sequences like the one where he watches the plate fall while listening to classical music. Finding his skewered corpse is meaningful beyond the fact that he's dead.
The Insomnia invasion being an organic part of the game would have definitely helped, but even a couple more scenes outside of it would have helped make both his fate and that of the Empire more impactful.

The fight absolutely should have happened in there!
It's set-up to feel like something is going to happen in there and I really can't see why they didn't show the Emperor transform into the monster and then have to fight it in there!!
I didnt even know that monster was supposed to be the Emperor - a patch is needed to show him transform into the monster and have the fight with him in the throne room. Another boss fight is always a good thing

It's the strangest thing. I have an easier time against enemies leveled in the 70s and 80s than Coeurls in the 30s and 40s. The latter routinely murders my teammates and give me hell in ways that few other enemies do. It's like...a bunch of teenagers fighting a pack of cheetahs in real life, LOL.
The wasps are assholes, too.
There's probably a good chance it was supposed to be Etro, but way back when Luna was Stella I thought the story might involve her taking Etro's place as the new Goddess or something, so I kinda always thought it might be her.
The one thing that bugs me is the 2 "dragon-like" creatures in the logo. I wonder if they're supposed to be the spirits of Umbra and Pryna? Or maybe they're just supposed to represent the daemon threat...

Yes, it's a bug. Happened to me twice, both times in Costlemark.
thanks.....
it happened to me way more than 2 time lol.......It is unplayable
Wait, two? I don't think I can see the second.
Code:
[IMG]http://www.ff-type0.net/images/media/FFXV-Logo-Black.png[/IMG]One's at the bottom left, and the other's directly to the left of the sun/moon, hovering over Luna's head like it might strike her. lol
Ah, okay. It's kind of indistinct between the hair and halo, I guess that's why I didn't notice it until now? Maybe you could interpret them as two halves of Leviathan; but they do seem to lack an immediate analogue to the events of the game.

Does anyone know where this outfit is in the game?:
1. Pryna, where art thou? LOL
2. How was the crystal damaged? Was it explained in a side quest or something?
3. Vesper Gar, is a fish I hate. Is there a fish more annoying than this?
4. It's unfortunate to not see Cid, Aranea, and the gang on the post apocalyptic world.
Do you think a Director's Cut would happen?

She's dead. There's a missable conversation about Pryna if you don't talk to Maria the second time in Tenebrae.
Is there an accesory or item that prevents you from losing hp while using royal arms?
The weapons are so fun to play with but the mechanic is absolutely stupid. They could've at least stopped the byeffect when Noctis finally gets the ring.

Oh I didn't notice I was posting in the spoiler thread. xd

It's the role he was born to play.
And would having a greater presence really benefit the game? How would you even expand upon his character in a way that wouldn't just pad the narrative?
In the ending
thanks.....

I experienced the bug. You have to waste a item like healing items on a companion to get a temp fix to the camera hard lock. Any item that zooms up on the companion using it. At the same time, I had to avoid using Warp attacks since they would cause hard lock all the time.
All in all, the game isn't bad. The story has the makings of being decent, yet it's only a skeleton. It needs to explain itself some more. It goes into some pretty dark territory near the end there, and that was really interesting, but not explained why.
You can infer a lot, but a lot more fleshing out is needed. The world itself is interesting...It just needs more meat. If there is a Final Fantasy that would benefit from a Codex or whatever, it is this game.
Also, after having read the parchments during Chapter 13... and then remember back to the Naga fight where she was looking for her baby... It's pretty tragic. But, of course, you get none of that unless you put it together yourself.
It definitely suffers from that FFXII syndrome, in that it focuses mostly on characters, and lets the rest of the world function in the background.

1. Dead. Which is so damn weird, considering how much of a role she played in stuff like the Omen trailer, Prompto's episode in brotherhood and in promo material. The bros even talk about Pryna early in the game and its almost like the devs didn't know what to do with her.
2. Nope, we don't really know anything about that. Iirc its like that way in Kingsglaive as well. Its basically just the crystal's design.
3. I just caught one, The liege of the lake is harder to get for sure, and I assume the fishing mission after the Gar is harder too, but i haven't done that one yet.
4. Agreed. The only comfort we get is that Aranea randomly comes in on night fights after chapter 7. Wish we got more of Cor. Hell, the "hunter" in the powerplant should have been Cor ffs and not gladio. Missed opportunity.
5. Updates in the mid and late term are for more story cutscenes and form more scenarios via updates. So we'll probably see a "director's cut" in a couple of years, and all of that stuff should be in the eventual PC release. If they do in fact do a PC release, it better have better shadow draws, because those can get super annoying .

Just finished it. Really liked the ending but the focus on story in the latter half of the game highlighted how much of a mess it is. There's a good story in there, but the game does fuck all to present it to you in a palatable way, for the most part.
Several important characters had barely any screen time, such as Iedolas and Verstael. Glauca wasn't even in the game and Ravus should have been way more involved in the story than he was. A lot of plot points kind of come out of nowhere and you're left thinking either "wait, when did that happen" or "why are we doing this?".
Like I say, the story that they're trying to tell is good. It's just told oh, so badly.

The Daemon story line had the makings of something extremely dark. To have to relegated to little pamphlets is kind of sad. It explains why daemons only come out at night, anyway. =/
Also, Prompto's moment in Chapter 13 where he tells his secret... makes no sense, really. There's no impact because you know nothing about the rest of the stuff surrounded him.

Exactly. Part of me wonders if Square Enix didn't waste their time with Kingsglaive and just dumped all of that backstory and exposition into the actual game, would it have been better off? Judging by past trailers, it looks as though they had way more story content in the pipeline for the game.
