Realllllly hope they just move on from this mess of a game once episode ardyn launches. Ugh smh square....

v3nny2221d ago

Agreed.

They milk anything, and everything nowadays.

Chaosdreams2221d ago

It’s already been confirmed this is the last dlc (to much dismay they scrapped the other 3 planned dlc).

While the game isn’t perfect, the dlc that was scrapped would’ve gone a long way in fixing the issues people had with the plot.

Eitherway, with their current level of narrative telling/production, I hold little enthusiasm for any future Final Fantasy’s.

Darkwatchman2221d ago

It really wouldn’t have because you’d still have to have paid for the dlc and would still have to completely halt progress of your main game at multiple points throughout the story, go to the menu, and select the dlc story to play through. Even if every dlc episode ended up completed, the story would still be a poorly told, disjointed mess with a lack of proper pacing and progression from major plot point to major plot point.

Chaosdreams2221d ago

Yes the cost would be a factor, but suffice to say anyone who'd stuck it out this long or was a newcomer, would've played the content. I'm not defending how they released the game, I'm simply stating that some (even a small few) would've gotten the closest thing to the full experience that FF15 would offer. I was looking forward to the 4 dlc's so the world/characters would be more fleshed out.

I'm not a fan of how it's episodic content outside the main story - yet the content is crucial to know what happens in the main story to certain characters. It's sloppy.

rainslacker2221d ago

I can't imagine the "full experience" of FFXV is any better than the lackluster story they presented in the main game. None of the side characters leaving and doing their thing had any relevance to the plot whatsoever, so seeing what they did would just be more of a distraction. Heck, Noctis goes away for 20 years and that didn't even have an effect on the plot.

Harkins17212221d ago

Read the article? And would you shut up. People wanted SE to fix the game. Had they just moved on you'd be bitching at them for not supporting it.

Michiel19892221d ago

Im pretty sure they are already working on the next one, might take another decade though ;)

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125120d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501119d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne120d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989119d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga119d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989119d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69120d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid119d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69119d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp120d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion372d ago (Edited 372d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled372d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?

Final Fantasy XV Review – A Royal Road Trip

Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
