This is my fourth time playing through this game. I absolutely love it. Always new stuff to see and some DLCs. The graphics are breathtaking, the open world, the music… Been a FF series fan since I played FF7 on the PS1 back in the day. Not really a secret tip, but I used the ring a lot as a weapon this time around. My first few play throughs I didn’t think much of it as a weapon… only that it sometimes took weaker enemies out in one shot. However this time around I noticed even the biggest beast outside your level can be taken down. The tip to know is that it may take 2-3 times within the same battle play before it works. Replenish with elixirs to get full mp and hp back as it does drain you significantly with each attempt. Your status bars need to be full That ring was a game changer for me.

10 years in the making (yes, those years where development came to a halt still counts), a month delay to avoid day-one patch (spoiler alert: didn't work) and this game still could've stayed a year or so in the oven. This game has a lot of potential, but none of it's main mechanics mix together well. There is no synergy. Why can't I freely fast travel between outpost and camp sites (without the car)? Why can't I pick more than one hunt at once, and deliver all at once? Why are all side quests about getting vegetables on the far end of the map? Why is the story so chopped off? Why do I need some blue box of text to tell me what happened between chapters? What is that perfect blend between meat, egg and shrimp?
@arthurcaeorem45427 жыл бұрын
magaldi just hope that the dev team at square fixes some of these issues. I just hope that the game's praise game them a boosted confidence. The game had to be released in 2016 or that would have been it. So for having the hellish dev time, I think it's a really good game. Except the 2nd half of the story. I hated most of it apart with most of the bosses. I thought they were really fun.
@mighty_mag7 жыл бұрын
I agree that they had to make do with whatever they had ready to release in 2016, and that order came from the top of the chain food. But in any way I think it's an aceptable excuse for a messy development cycle. This game spent 10 years in development, and if they spent half that time working in other projects and only really start production in the last 3, that only means they had a shitty project management, not that the game can be excused for lack of time. Having said that...I do hope they patch and fix this game. I think it's possible. It lacks polish and harmony, but has a strong foundation. It's just sad to think that, if all goes well, the game I have now on disc won't mean shit a few months from now, cause it will be a totaly different product.

The biggest thing that made the game disappointing for me is the story. The story is decent dont get me wrong but you had to follow the games development. No other jrpg requires you to watch a movie, watch an anime, buy 4 DLCs, buy a separate multiplayer mode. Most recent news buy a Novel for the proper ending. The world of ff15 is good, the characters are good but theres to much money you gotta put into the game to fully understand it

wow, I can't believe that I'm already level 72 and I haven't finished the main campaign yet because I'm doing the secondary missions first, I see that once you have finished the campaign, more powerful enemies will appear than those that come out at the beginning, which it would have been better to find out earlier because the side missions were quite easy and boring after obtaining almost double or triple the level that was required and having maximized all their abilities, such as gladius that gets very good objects against enemies very weak, is there a hard mode or a plus game?

I have been playing for 60 hours now. I didn't like it very much at first. It was slow to get started and the combat was kinda disappointing. That said, as I got further in, I started to enjoy it more. If you like open-world games where you run around and complete quests for the bulk of the gameplay, you will probably like this game. Personally, I would have preferred a more traditional final fantasy experience, but this game is full of cool scenery, big bosses and fun dungeons. I suspect that you can probably do most of the content in around 100-120 hours.

Jesus Christ, an open-world game having a stamina meter for sprinting is bad enough as it is (especially since,as you mention about three minutes in, you spend **so** much time just running to places). But it also **hides** this information from you by default? I hate this game more and more the more I learn about it. At least Dragon's Dogma, for all of its flaws, provides that information about stamina depletion clearly in the UI and doesn't hide it.
