DLC. I don't think that multiplayer dlc they got planned is going to be a small endeavor.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Good scores so far. I mean its definitely hard to live up to the former ones.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What if Duckroll goes back and edits your post so it says 88

then he should prepare to get ami roxxed

 

[kromeo]

Are you the type to just rush to the ending? Other Final Fantasies could easily be rushed as well. There are speedruns for FF7 and FF9 for example.

I don't rush story and my playtimes for games are always high, I just finished REmake in 13 hours which I believe is well above average. I'll be doing some sidequests but I don't want to end up ruining it for myself like my first play through of Xenoblade

 

[ULTROS!]

Dragon Quest 7

Good example.

The PSOne version is around a 100 hours minus the side quests. 60 for the 3DS version. That game feels incredibly bloated. Still enjoyed though.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Ah the worst outcome where the reviews aren't good or bad enough for proper meltdowns FeelsBadMan

Seriously, I was hoping people would be tearing each other apart in here.

 

[GinoFelino]

What if in the end i'm banned because of noscore/10 by Kotaku?

What if Kotaku got my balls in their hands the whole time?

:/

Bit too graphic there bud

 

[yunbuns]

FF7R or FFXVI. I think KH3 is nearing the finish line.

Isn't VIIR being mostly outsourced though? Would they need to help with that.

 

[Fdkn]

Dragon Quest 7

I guess that's true, Ryo likes only 1 jrpg.

 

[LordKano]

Seriously GAF, don't give attention to Gamekult's score, they're just frustrated people who like not being like everyone.

Lmao
I though the gamekult hate was something reserved to some french forums but seems like it's international.

 

[paragonpro]

Thank god, thank you so much

 

[Kneefoil]

I wasn't too interested in the game because RPGs are usually so long, but if you can beat it in about 20 hours, that would be just perfect IMO. Too many RPGs are afraid to be shorter than 40+ hours, and ain't nobody got time for that (and when I do, I often lose interest around the 30 hour mark).

 

[Hasney]

I've adored what I've played so far (on PS4 Pro in Lite mode) so these seem like what I'd expect. I knew the story was going to be a mess as soon as I saw that there was an in-game lore guide, but it's serviceable so far.

 

[brau]

I think you should add Conans impressions. FFXV - "An aggresive waste of time".

Game is reviewing pretty good. Are most of them touching on performance?

 

[Zia]

High scores from typically lenient, hyper-driven American outlets while no recommendation from Eurogamer.

Going to guess this is slightly better than FFXIII.

 

[Audioboxer]

So what will the development team go towards, helping with Kingdom Hearts III or FF7R?

Hopefully KH3 so we aren't waiting till 2021. I fully expect Square to arse up FF7R.

Lol thats a good one

[AgentOtaku]

VERY happy with how the reviews turned out and cant wait for my Deluxe Edition tommorow (^____^)

 

[brandonh83]

Good scores
Good scores
Good scores
Good scores

...are never enough~

 

[JoeNut]

I've now ordered it on the back of these, great job SE.

 

[dc89]

We believe in you, Dan. You are sensational.

Appreciate the support.

 

[PK Gaming]

Same metacritic as the classic final fantasy XIII

Reviewers know better this time around though

I think the reviews we're seeing are fairly legit, like Kotaku's

 

[Hristi]

I wish I have a ps4 right now. Holy hell..

 

[Wavebossa]

Dragon Quest 7

Touche

 

[Y2Kev]

It's not that long games can't be good, it is that they typically aren't. It's not a "respect my time" thing as much as it is a thing that improves the chances of the game being good. Hopefully!

 

[Renae]

Or they had a different opinion after playing the game?

Read some of their reviews, this is not just for FFXV.
Gamekult tries to be an "elitist" website, but they're just becoming a caricature of themselves. Not sure about the all syntax, but I think you'll understand me.

 

[Alanood]

10 4 year development time? Mostly 8's and 9's?

I'LL TAKE IT.

ftfy

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hopefully KH3 so we aren't waiting till 2021. I fully expect Square to arse up FF7R.

Possible, but from that last gameplay video we got says otherwise!

 

[Tyaren]

Launch trailer today?

Yeah, where is the hype launch trailer?! o__O

 

[Yappadappadu]

For a moment there my hype was a bit deflated...

Thats nothing compared to GOTY DOOMs 7.1 ��

What, seriously?
*checks IGN's Doom review*
Wow, it's true.
No matter how bad the MP, 7.1 overall score is just laughable.
That makes me feel good about them only giving 8.2 to FFXV.

Thanks, good to know.

 

[The Lamp]

Scores are worse than I expected for a game so hyped.

Left wondering if the game is worse than I expected or if reviewers are actually being more realistic in reviewing a game for launch for once (unlike the zomg perfect 10/10 scores MGSV got).

Excited nonetheless for my preorder coming in.
So fucking glad I didn't lose my mind and pay $250+ for that collectors edition.

 

[Fdkn]

Yeah I am serious.

Persona 3. Played 87 hours.
Persona 4. Played 90 hours
Dragon Quest VIII, which I just completed took 90 hours.

I haven't played NG+ or Post game content on either game.

Persona 5 is said to be about 80 hours without doing all the side content.


I'm about 30 hrs into FFXII right now.

For modern JRPGs, since I only play single player offline games I need them to last me a good while.

You don't get it, those games don't need even half that time if you only go to beat the story. You took that time because you did sidecontent. Sidecontent is not only post-game, ffs.

Waste of good popcorn

I'm going to guess confirmation bias.

 

[minameissteve]

Let's goooo.

 

[KZXcellent]

So what will the development team go towards, helping with Kingdom Hearts III or FF7R?

DLC for XV and then either FF7R or XVI.

The team working on KH3 is in Osaka so I don't see them moving people out there to work on it.

 

[MattKeil]

Haha, those scores are ludicrous. The backlash on this game from people not already planning to like it no matter what is going to be incredible.

 

[Rad-]

So what will the development team go towards, helping with Kingdom Hearts III or FF7R?

Join Ito's team!

Spoiler

In the cleanup sector.

 

[Thabass]

I spent 8 hours on the Judgement disc alone without doing anything else but fighting and exploring. This game will take me over 100 hours, I bet.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

20 hours to beat? Alright fam you got me.

 

[wtd2009]

yes! so happy with the reception.

 

[herminihildo]

So what will the development team go towards, helping with Kingdom Hearts III or FF7R?

Didn't they have planned DLC for the other bros?

Though I wouldn't mind one more story-based DLC that would flesh out the other cast or another lore in the world of FFXV.

 

[batrush]

much better scores than I expected. still going to wait for the GAF verdict before buying

 

[dragonzdogma]

I wish I have a ps4 right now. Holy hell..

isn't a $212 price on amazon?

 

[sanstesy]

Opencritic: 84

Will probably settle around the 84 on Metacritic as well.

 

[Kintaro]

Reviews looking pretty okay so far. It'll be interesting to see impressions in the hand of players in the coming weeks.

BTW, do you want a Pro and FFXV? Newegg posted a deal.

Playstation 4 Pro 1TB Console Bundle + Final Fantasy XV + NBA 2k16

Saw it from CAG on Twitter. Random ass bundle but game already tossed in for free with Pro.

 

[JBwB]

A step in the right direction Square Enix. This will cure some people of the "FF disease" but not all.

Seal the deal with FFXVI!

 

[mjc]

Lol thats a good one

 

[Rainy]

Metacritic is 86 right now based on 13 reviews.
Opencritic is 84 based on 18 reviews.
