It's proof that the game was no where near finished. They threw together a bunch of BS just to fill time. Wait until you get to the later chapters which is some of the most linear and unconnected things I've ever played.
The only good thing about XV is that it makes XIII look good.

This community gets embarrassing any time the game gets brought up. Some people swear it's the worst game ever.
That stand by me cover was pretty nice though.
Did they ever explain how to use summons? I used Ramuh once with no idea how cause it just asked me to push a button. Then I used him one other time while hunting. Other than that I had no idea what the qualifications were and never had another opportunity to use any of them.
And as much as the story pacing and exposition deserve to get panned, the gameplay was worthwhile enough to me to really enjoy it. I felt the same way about XIII, to the point where I decided to play it again. I also enjoyed the set pieces quite a bit.
I've often wondered, though, because of the series' heavy diversity and lightning rod history, should it just die? Will they ever be able to make a mainline FF game that will truly satisfy the masses? There will always be a group that says, well it's not like FFVI or IX or X or XII so I don't like it.
The campfire scene at the end was very powerful. It's the only cutscene in the game that I consider an actual good scene. Imagine it had a great story leading up to it.
Game sucked ass.
You clearly haven't played Tales of Zestiria.
No we aren't being dramatic, the game has more negatives than postives, good for you if you can deal with them, but most of us here couldn't, i tried to and i wanted to like this game but i couldn't, i would be only fooling myself if i said it was a good game.
It could have been worse. Noctis could have found out while taking a dump and browsing his smartphone.
YupWhy does it seem as though most "story writers" for games have no idea what they're doing?
That might be because there is almost none.
Noctis and Co drive to the marriage
They read newspaper with Insominas downfall and Regis dead
"Hey Cor! My dad is dead " "You gotta get the kings power!"
"Hey Noctis & Co I am leaving again cause I gotta do some shit, have fun!"
"Our car has been stolen and we have to get it back! Woah who is that amazing aerial fighter?"
"Yo Titan is badass, wait what why is the empire here?"
"Wait what? Why did the Empire took us here without any explaination? Let's get a boat for Alitisia!"
"Damn we need something which is only in that swamp dungeon for our boat! Oh also bye Gladiolus do your own thing!"
"Hey aerial woman! nice to see at least you again!"
"Nice boat"
"Nice wedding dress!"
*some politics shit*
"Leviathan! I will make your power my own"
*gets wrecked*
*luna summons the kings power DBZ style*
*senseless button mashing*
"No Ignis is blind T_T why though? nobody wants to explain, get the DLC!"
"Now let's finish this with a train drive lulz and lose Prompto in that snow area for his DLC ;D"
*worst dungeon ever with magic ring*
"Oh the great crystal, lol wut I am being absorbed and there is Bahamut explaining shit. let me summon you, you dick!"
*years later*
"Yo Noct, remember me? Talbot? ;D .... ehm no."
"Hi I am Ifrit and there would be lore about me, but we had to cut everything - let's fight!"
"Okay final boss with emotional moments and stupid fights"

Some of y'all are being really dramatic.
the game's combat was designed to be simple for simpletons and more involved for those who want more and are more advanced. This especially shows in some of the harder optional content and timed quests. A lot of y'all didn't do those, it seems. Sure I wish the game's story missions were harder and more involved. But it wasn't crap, I had a lot of fun warping around and air stepping between enemies. Some of the parries in the game, like the one against the second to lass boss where all the bros got involved was really great. In a nutshell, the combat is something that takes a while to get down and do well. But once you're doing it we'll, the game is really enjoyable and comes across as satisfying.
I can understand their decision for designing a simple combat system for simpletons so they could attract more players especially casuals to try and buy the game...remembered how square keep mentioning how they want to attact more non FF fans to try this game before?If i recall correctly skyrim's simple combat also due to similliar reason..looks how much that game being sold..maybe square decide for this due to bussiness reason
Still...the combat too simple...lack of depth and reward for players who git gud..
Not mention most of fight players just charge head on regardless need of any tactical approach(if there any)..too bad because the combat system had potential actually
I appreciate what you're saying. It definitely wasn't perfect. But I see a lot of people comparing to Witcher 3 and to be honest Noctis felt better to fight with.
I want to encourage players to try some of the time quest content and extra dungeons , there are some legit fun and tough stuff in there. There was one TQ recently where you had to fight to kill tens of those Coerels (tiger like beasts) and it was seriously nuts. I had a blast doing it.
