The History of Final Fantasy XV

The History of Final Fantasy XV
Touch Fuzzy
Final Fantasy XV has one of the most troubled and public development cycles of almost any game, and despite incredible reviews and sales, it’s still found itself in a weird place with its fanbase. We decided it was worth taking another look at why we love this game so much, and why we think it deserves to “Stand Tall” among not just RPG’s and Final Fantasy, but gaming as a whole.

this made me tear up seeing the story all over again. great commentary and additions that i didn’t know when i first played the game! super well done video :>

[@TouchFuzzy]

Thanks so much Celina! That really means a lot. The ending destroys me every time. I don’t think I’ve made it through without crying. Appreciate the love 💖

[@Dulkh4n]

I'm not crying is just that my house have too much dust

[@doodlebob8404]

I played this when i first bought a PS4. At the time I had fell off gaming for a couple years and this game revitalized my love for gaming ! I'm glad I played it when I did cuz now I tend to speed through games since I have a huge back log. I took my time playing this and it reminds me of when I took my time to blend in with a game .

[@TouchFuzzy]

I had such a similar experience! I’m not always lucky enough to be able to give games the time I would like, but the amount I put into this one is substantial and well worth it. I think FFXV is special like that. Thank you so much for the comment - means the world!

[@doodlebob8404]

@@TouchFuzzy Thank you for making such a good video ! I'm subbed now so keep em coming

[@TouchFuzzy]

@@doodlebob8404 thanks so much! We definitely got a lot planned!

[@beanieboo3680]

my fav FF, heartbreaking the rest of the dlc never came out

[@TouchFuzzy]

Yesssss! Love seeing FFXV fans! It is heartbreaking we never got the end to it. I would love to see a remaster of it for PS5 where we maybe get that DLC, but even if we never get it, I think it stands on its own beautifully. Thanks so much for the comment ^_^

[@thunter992]

I know I'm late, but man thank you for this upload. Years later I still have feels from this game

[@TouchFuzzy]

Never late at all. That means so much to hear you liked the video. It’s a deeply personal game to me, and I’m glad to hear it had the same effect, and that you found it much later

[@MiloPrime]

Great video! The feels from the story came back to me all over again

[@TouchFuzzy]

Thanks so much! We really wanted to get those emotional beats front and center so I’m glad it worked! Thanks so much for the comment!

[@GoodEevee]

Can't believe I never seen one of your videos till today. This video essay was great.

[@TouchFuzzy]

Ahhhhh q__q thank you so much! That’s incredibly appreciated, we worked really hard on it and FFXV has some deep personal meaning to us. You made my day!

[@Coreisus]

The first cutscene is so emotional in retrospect! Like Noctis is just being a bit spoiled, a young man who's eager to get away from his overbearing Father, and the royal expectations placed on him by his birthright, who's seemingly given the chance to finally leave. And he's annoyed cuz here his dad's stopping him. He's just leaving for a few weeks maybe then coming back when he's married. But from Regis's pov, he's trying to make sure his son doesn't just give up and turn around like he's known to do from being a spoiled prince. He's trying so hard to ensure his son is truly ready to leave home, that he *won't* come back, at the same time as trying to say something that acts both as fatherly love/advice, and as final words his son can take with him, because he knows he's gonna die in a coup in a few nights. Its just such a perfect and such a sad scene. It truly encapsulates the communication and relationship between parent and child under such dire circumstances.

[@vertex3789]

Good retrospect video overall, but there is one correction. The Ring of the Lucii is at base a Light condenser. Each King who wore it basically drained their lives to add their "Light" to it. The ring needed to build up enough of it to purge the amount of Darkness Ardyn drew into his body. So at the end, every stab Noctis took was the Kings drawing their Light out of the ring and into himself, something which is very difficult for any mortal body to bear. The resulting death of Noctis basically allowed him to enter the afterlife plane with the collected Light of all the Kings of Lucis to finally purge Ardyn of the Darkness that plagued him, otherwise he would have returned given enough time passed.

Long time no see, it’s been so long since I’ve last seen a new video, but glad to see you guys post

[@TouchFuzzy]

Great to see you too Hao! Worried we might have lost ya. Yeah, some big personal life changes happened, but we’re hoping to be back for good with a lot more planned! Thanks so much for sticking around. Means the world.

[@SanzAMV7]

Glad you are back guys! Hope you are doing well! Loved this game even with his production flaws. You should check out heartstopper Levi, great tv show and comics. Have a great weekend!

[@TouchFuzzy]

Thanks so much for the support! I really appreciate it! It’s on the list of mine as well! It looks terrific, and I almost picked up the comic the other day! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@IVANLOWCHUNSHENS]

this vid is the real masterpiece

[@TouchFuzzy]

That means so much more than you know! Thank you for that comment! Really hope we can keep up the quality for ya!

[@nick7587]

The book is so extremely slept on. The game itself had an okay ending, but it was still sad. And I'm a sucker for happy endings, which the book absolutely gave. If anyone reading this comment has yet to read it, I would suggest you do. Its relatively expensive at $25 USD, but I think it's worth it

[@Dan-dd4ec]

Really enjoyed the video

[@TouchFuzzy]

Thanks so much! That means a lot to us- hope we can do some more that you really like. Big Final Fantasy fans here

[@Kaltar_]

I took the picture that you made before going onto the boat where you are with everyone it made me cry to see it on the throne for his afterlife to look at it I loved the story of this game so much it was like one big movie truly so underrated and burried under hate of the launch

[@IsaacG8]

I'm glad to see there are people that like this game. I'll never understand how anyone likes the long hallway FFs but not this one.

[@Pako9713]

I feel like with all those DLCs the game is fairly complete.

[@andreasmuller2437]

Three loyal royal boyos. Thats the whole ff15 game in a nutshell lol.

[@SleeplessBanjos]

This game is what happens which you split the baby and then try to sew it back together.

[@TouchFuzzy]

I will gladly love this Franken-baby as if it were my own

[@SleeplessBanjos]

@@TouchFuzzy I just gotta say, it would have probably been 10x better as Final Fantasy Vs 13. I remember the trailers where they wanted to make the cities open world and combat rich. Each character weapon would do bonus damage against some enemies and had timing to disable enemy attacks and the like. Plus Stella was much otter and more well rounded than Lunafreya. Plus she wouldn't have had such little screen time and be done dirty like she was.

[@SHLVideos]

Final Fantasy? More like Ongoing Sci-Fi, ammi right people?

[@TouchFuzzy]

I think we are all desperately waiting for when science genetically modify’s big ridable birds for us all

[@SHLVideos]

@@TouchFuzzy We have those. They're called Emus. We love them.

[@TouchFuzzy]

@@SHLVideos yeah but I try to ride them once, and now I’m suddenly not welcomed back into Australia.

[@hoihoi13]

This a very well made video👍🏻 I enjoyed the game very much when it first come out but somewhat i felt the game was I complete and broken at the time. My question is, now with the royal edition is the game much different to when it’s first launched? If so I might replay it again..

[@TouchFuzzy]

The game features so much QOL improvements I really personally felt the difference, however it is fundamentally still the same game. I loved it at launch and thought it was improved a lot upon the Royal edition. I think it’s worth taking another look at with fresh eyes and the conversation at launch gone. I hope this helped, and thanks so much for the comment. Honestly made my day. The reason we made the video was to get people to maybe look at it again or open up the conversation

[@hoihoi13]

@@TouchFuzzy funny enough I just finished FF9 for the first all time few months ago, and am playing the ff6 pixel remaster now. Will be great if u guys do some sort of FF videos! Looking forward to it!

[@zacatkinson3926]

Yes I loved this game like no other I never wanted it to end

Noctis is a chili chomper?

[@davidwhatsthatabout7404]

There is no denying that FF XV had to stumble in order for FF VII rebirth to walk.

[@Pako9713]

But i still love FF15. Everything is so relaxing. And with dlc game is complete imo

[@amorrisphoto]

More of your faces plz.

[@pascalsimioli6777]

I hate youtubers who make essays. Your entire shtick is to take something old and just say something absurd about it "Busby 3D: were we wrong about it?" followed by 40 mins of vapid anecdotal arguments delivered as facts and then not having the balls to take a side, finishing with something like "but who can really say?aren't we all just a 3d character?"
