I really like Vanillaware games. There are a number of immediately identifiable aspects to them that just work for me. From the generally gorgeous graphics, to the amazing food they always seem to have, they're stylish in a way that immediately tells you who made them. This game is no exception. The character designs are great, and the food is once again luscious. Story wise, this isn't one of the stronger entries though. The story is somewhat generic fantasy, and while the cast is unique and varied, they also don't get nearly as much  individual screen time. In fact, unless you go out of your way to do most of the rapport conversations, you don't get a ton of insight into the characters. That's a shame, because there are some funny and heartfelt moments between the cast, but you'll likely never see most of them unless you make a proactive effort. I would have really appreciated the rapport being more integrated, and less dependent on spending piles of gold on meals for the team.

 

The game is also incredibly easy on Normal. Yes, you can raise the difficulty or self-impose other types of challenges, but if you're playing the base experience the way the developer intended, the challenge is basically nonexistent. That means you won't necessarily engage deeply with a lot of the systems in the game, because there's no real incentive to do so. Two or three decent units can faceroll almost everything without much effort for 90% of the game. It's a shame, because there's a huge variety of weapons, units, and tactics to explore, but very little need to do so for the most part. On the other hand, it does mean you don't have to micromanage the staggering number of options for gear you're presented with through the story, which could be pretty overwhelming otherwise.

 

All in all, I greatly enjoyed my time with the game, and would definitely recommend it to anyone, with the caveat that as good as it is, it never quit hit the heights of the very best Vanillaware has done, like 13 Sentinels or Odin Sphere. But if that's the worst thing you can say about a game, it's still doing a lot of stuff very right.

#133: WWE 2K24

All Trophies Earned (9.18% - Very Rare)

Earn all trophies.

 

That time of the year again, when I earn the Platinum of the annual WWE game. 2K24 is the first I played on the Ps5, but only because this is the first year I have one and the Ps5 version has a rarer Platinum, I didn't really want to "upgrade". And in fact, in terms of performances, this game is nothing special at all, to me it felt exactly like 2K23 on the Ps4. And this is already the third WWE game on the Ps5, I wonder if we will ever have an actual "next gen" upgrade compared to the older titles.

 

The game is still good and features the same modes of the previous game, but I was actually interested only in three of them, the MyFaction, Showcase and the Career modes.

 

The MyFaction mode is full of content and they could have added some insanely hard and grind Trophies, but thankfully, they didn't, and you can be done with the mode pretty quickly. I still had fun with it, especially with the new rogue like sub-mode where you face Faction wars bosses with your Faction.

 

The Showcase is actually a recycle from 2K14, as we can relive some matches from the past WrestleManias: back in 2K14, there was at least one match for every Mania, from the first up to the last to date, the 29th, and that's why I thought it would have beem a good idea, for this game, to only feature matches from the 30th to the 39th, so the ones that took place in between the games. Instead, we start again from the first ever WrestleMania all the way up to the 39th, and some matches were already covered in 2K14: that was repetitive. But weirdly enough, some Manias aren't covered at all, so sometimes you instantly jump from one year to a distant one, which was not good. Not a bad mode overall, but could have definitely been better.

 

The Career mode once again has a male and a female story for your custom characters, and even through they clearly break kayfabe were still pretty enjoyable.

 

Good game overall, but nothing special at all, it's pretty much 2K23 2.0.

"Not exactly a fairy tale beginning huh."

 

 My trip to Final Fantasy 15 is over!!! This game has become one of my favorite looking FF games, I totally cherish my time spent in this game. I like a lot the mixture of modern times with fantasy, the whole "fantasy based in reality" thing is by far what caught my eye since the beginning. I finished FFXV story in 35 hours and I can say I really enjoyed it. I can't speak for FFXV vanilla since I've only played Royal Edition but I can say that Royal Edition is pretty good, but is nowhere near to other FF games in quality lets be honest. The biggest sin of this game is how the story is told, it's mandatory to watch the movie Kingsglaive and the anime Brotherhood to understand the game, and I did just that, so I could grasp better the story. As for the movie, well you can see it as a lengthy opening movie for FFXV hahaha, but with Jessie Pinkman, Cersei Lannister and Ned Sark on it, you can tell Square really put the money on the movie hahahaha, and I don't understand the bad critics about the movie, honestly the movie is pretty good, I watched 2 times hahaha is that good. So this FF game is a very special one for me, it's a very casual FF experience and despite the development hell it went through, this is still a fun game to play. It has some awesome freaking cool looking moments but it happens near the end of the game, the summons in this game look incredible. As for the OST well I can really say it's not that memorable, it's still amazing don't get me wrong, but being honest I only remember like 4 tracks and one of them is Stand by me, (which btw I really liked the opening for this game, it is so simple but yet I like pushing a car while listening that song).

 

The main cast is by far the strongest point of this game and it's my favorite thing about it by far. Noctis at first glance may look like the typical emo edge lord but he is nothing like that at all, that tittle is between Cloud and Squall haha. But seriously, the bond between Noctis, Ingnis, Prompto and Gladio has is so damn natural that they truly look like a group of friends going on a journey, I remember one part when someone gets mad at Noctis and you can really tell the tension in the air and go like "yep, that's how it is." This is by far one of the most human main cast in all FF games I played. I also like other elements about it like the car drives, listening to all FF ost while casually waiting for 4 minutes is awesome and you also get this cool moments between the main cast, and the photo mechanic is so damn awesome, getting all moments captured is incredible. As for the combat mechanics well, since FFV13 it always looked like the KH one, which KH has a nice combat mechanic especially KH2 but in FFXV the combat lose a lot of its magic, you see this game is very easy and you can spam potions and items all the way so it kinda loses the whole point, and because of that enemies feel like tanks and you have to spent a lot of time on them, that is until you get to break the combat mechanic with powerful magic or by leveling up, still is fun to play anyway so meh. And it also misses the point in a lot  of other things like side characters, and a lot of good story moments, but I can't really blame them seeing all this game went through. Btw, Gentiana and Lunafreya are the best waifus hahaha.

 

Final Fantasy 15 had the potential to be one of the greatest FF games since Nomura gave birth to FF Versus 13, but FFXV had everything against it, this game is a victim of fate and it's a miracle this game even exist, and if this game had had the chance to truly chance it would've been one of the best one truly, this games story, lore and the world are incredible. It sucks the story is all chopped into a lot of media forms, which I don't like, but hey like I said it's a miracle this game exists, literally Hajime Tabata saved this game from being nothing to actually making it a reality, huh I guess not all miracles comes from magic. If you are looking for a casual FF experience this is a great game, it has some "unique" things since its an open world and follows the formula but hey it's a pretty good looking world to explore. So far from all Final Fantasy games I played I always leave with some good memories and I remember all fondly and FFXV is no exception. FFXV totally earned a place in my gamer heart!!

 

And another FF platinum goes to the collection!!! I spent 82 hours doing this and oh boy it was pure fun and good moments! Despite this game being rushed and having the story told in a very bad way, that is in multiple media forms like the movie, anime and the dlc, and other stuff I really enjoyed this game. The platinum for this game is really easy since the trophies are very simple, I played the entire game on normal and I've only got a game over once on Cerberus (which is a Royal Edition exclusive I believe) and that was only because I wanted my party to die so I had the chance to use a megaphoenix but I ran out of time hahaha, you can play on easy to speed the plat if you like. One tip I can give is using the car as least as possible and just run hahaha it will save grinding time later for the survival skill, it took me 8 hours to level it up in the endgame, but being honest running around from place to place is no fun and it can make your game experience worse, since going in the car has a lot of good moments and you get to know the main cast better, so if you don't mind throwing some extra hours for grinding afk don't bother running and use the car, other than that the fishing skill can take some time but nothing to hard, leveling the other 2 skills is pretty easy. And the big turtle can be instantly killed with the ring of Lucii so no big deal there either. But I have to say I didn't play with trophies in mind, I took my time to enjoy the game, so that explains the 200+ hours I spent on it hahaha. Totally love this guys!!! They truly are the best!

 

100% Completion journey:

 

Spoiler

This are my thoughts on each DLC, as for trophies added on the Royal Pack or updates, the tricky part is going for 80% of the data log entries related this are basically collectibles some of them are locked to story chapters and are missable, personally I only missed 2 and I didn't used a guide, so if you look around you can get all  that are missable, but if you are not confident use a guide, you can miss a few but I highly recommed getting all the entries that are chapter related since that means less work from you later since you'll have to do the menace dungeons, I was afraid I missed entries that are only obtainable on specific chapters but I'm very proud to say I only missed 2 so I didn't need to use chapter select to get them.

 

FINAL FANTASY XV: EPISODE GLADIOLUS

Spoiler

You see this DLC occurs in a part of the main (very minor spoiler) story were Gladio in the most casual way just leaves the party for a while and that's when the DLC happens. Look the DLC is good since it add more lore to the characters involve but lets be honest, completing this DLC takes less than 2 hours, this could be any level for any other Final Fantasy game were some character goes in its own self discovered journey and then evolves as a character. Look having to pay for this is very lame, I'm not gonna defend it, I know FFXV was very bad when it originally launched and but this DLC's are basically story segments cut out and then pasted behind a pay wall (if you don't have RE).

 

As for the DLC content well is basically a level with Gladio, were you have to kill some bosses nothing to special, its pretty easy too, the gameplay was cool enough for what it is. The whole vibes this DLC gave me were of Devil May Cry haha but with a lesser combat system. As for the trophies well there is only one trophy that can tricky to get, is for winning a fight with Cor. It's basically a skill related trophy mixed with some rng. It's basically a parry fight all the way, you see Gladiolus is locked to level 24 for the DLC, but Cor is level 52 and he can enter a rage mode where with one hit can kill you. So if you play games like the Souls franchise or DMC it's nothing that bad, it still require learning the move set from Cor and doing perfect parries so you can build you special gauge so you can deal more damage. But what makes this fight tedious is the constant bad rng, if Cor spams rage mode you better run for you life hahaha, and having those bad loading times doesn't help either. The rest of the trophies are very easy.

 

 

 

FINAL FANTASY XV: EPISODE PROMPTO

Spoiler

This episode happens, just like Episode Gladiolus, in a moment of the main story were Prompto leaves the party. It shows the self journey Prompto had before reuniting with the party again. Like the previous episode, in this DLC we get to learn and understand more about Prompto, which is a very depressing character in my opinion. In comparison with the previous episode Gladiolus, episode Prompto in lengthier and has more content. The main story can takes 3 hours max to finish and less than 2 hours if you play it fast. It has a mini open world and it includes side quests. I still think this DLC could've been a segment in the main game, at least for the story part regarding Prompto. Since Prompto is a range character that uses guns the gameplay here is focused on guns, and as for the difficulty is pretty easy. The episode was good enough I liked it more than Gladiolus. 

 

Trophies here are way easier than the one of the previous episode, the are miscellaneous trophies that are very simple and easy, there's also one trophy regarding a side quest which is no problem at all, a boss fight like the one from the previous episode which is very doable and the last trophy which is for getting 3 star on 3 races again very easy to get. 

 

 

 

FINAL FANTASY XV: EPISODE IGNIS

Spoiler

This episode happens, just like previous episodes, in a moment of the main story were the party leaves Noctis for a brief moment. I have to say that by far this is my favorite Episode from the Brotherhood. It happens on the peak moment of FFXV and honestly Episode Ignis is incredibly good. This episode is centered on Ignis, and his develops further the bond Ignis and Noctis have in a heartwarming way. It adds new gameplay mechanics and adds and extra chapter for the story which is quite the surprise. Ignis is my favorite character from the Brotherhood (excluding Noctis of course) and this episode really shows why Specs is the best.

For the trophies this episode is very similar to previous ones, you'll have to do some miscellaneous things as well finding collectibles, and like custom, have a boss fight. What boss fight should be good enough for Ignis? Well non other than prince Noctis itself. But this time you won't get the trophy just by winning you'll need to get A+ on the fight to unlock the trophy. The good thing is that getting A+ is based highly on time, you'll have around 15 minutes to win the fight, and the bad thing is how challenging Noctis actually is, this fight can take easily 10+ minutes. The strat is using fire daggers and constantly getting counterstrikes and good dodging. This fight is all in the practice, it took me more time to beat Cor on Episode Ignis, but you don't want to underestimate Noct, since he goes full arsenal, yes he can use the ring of Lucci to erase you from existence haha, there's nothing friendly about this fight. I'll leave my run in the hidden content because the way I beat Noctis was the most hilarious one possible hahahaha totally recommend checking it out.  

 

 

 

FINAL FANTASY XV: EPISODE ARDYN

Spoiler

This episode happens, just like previous episodes... wait a minute, this episode actually happens before the main story? Yup this is by far the most important DLC story wise of the bunch, it tell us the story and background of Ardyn, the main bad guy of the game, Ardyn has a very interesting background and playing this episode the way you see Ardyn will change, he is not one sick maniac like most of us think while playing the game, instead he is a tragic sick maniac hahaha and its story will also change your view on Noctis' ancestors. This episode really delivers and makes Ardyn more interesting of a character. Other than that we see other cool stuff in this episode, like the city of Insomnia, yep we actually get the chance to explore it and all, we also se more stuff related to Ifrit which in my opinion is the most interesting summon in the game other than Bahamut. This is a very cool episode, it reminded me of DMC hahaha and is totally worth it. This 4 Episodes were all fun and cool, some more than others but if you really liked FFXV, this episodes are totally worth it since they expand more the game. I know there were going to be more DLC's for FFXV, but they got cancelled, it would've been nice to see a Lunafreya episode or a Noctis episode, but we never got them. 

 

As for the trophies this are the easiest of the bunch. Select easy and done you get all of them in a breeze, I recommend doing 2 runs to enjoy the episode but you can get all trophies in 1 playthrough. With this done I completed FFXV trophy list to 89% and it took me 160 hours. The remaining trophies are for the multiplayer stuff which is a hassle to access since I have to downgrade to get the trophies but I'm committed to get 100% . But before that I'm going to keep playing FFXV normally I'm really having fun with this game hahaha so I'll keep grinding it until I'm ready to get more trophies hahaha.

 

Unfortunately no Ardyn pic, so here's my chocobo called Choco. 

 

 

FINAL FANTASY XV MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION: COMRADES

Spoiler

So multiplayer trophies eh? What a hassle this is going to be but all for that sweat 100% completion. So this is a Multiplayer DLC, that of course, happens in one incredible point of the main story which, in my opinion, was wasted.  Of course this DLC adds more lore to the game, and I kinda like the idea of playing as a Glaive but not like this. Man I want to keep playing more of base game no this hahaha. As for trophies well, the one trophy I was really afraid of was the one for meeting Kenny, this is basically pure rng and I read a lot in the forums people experience with it, but thankfully Bahamut saw my commitment and love for FFXV that he gave me with his good rng blessing hahaha so I got it on my first 6 hours playing casually, a not only that in my total play time of comrades I got 2 Kenny appearances hahaha lucky me!

 

The way this dlc works is that you get most of your stats level up by leveling the weapons and adding them stat buffs, so that means grinding for items. Playing this dlc really made me wanna go back to base game and grind there instead hahaha. 

 

Getting all the trophies for Comrades took me 37 hours and most of that was pure old fashioned grind. I can tell this trophies can be done faster if you know what you're doing. This last 3 trophies are quite easy to get, the most "complicated" trophy is the cochobreeder one, is not difficult you only have to select stats to level the chocobo in a way you don't cap the chocobos level until you reach 99, it requires thinking, luck and resetting but is fairly easy just tedious. Thankfully there's a guide in gamefaqs that really helps understanding the whole gimmick about it. Then once the chocobo is level 99 and you have the necessary stats you can get the remaining Royal Sigils, some are locked behind a quest so you are going to have to clear the quest first, and some of this quest may require good gear, level 40 is enough to get this trophies done, but I highly recommend getting first a lot of good gear so you make your life easier. As for the Ifrit fight all you need is a good bow since there's a exploit for this fight that's a life savior. The final trophy is for completing a quest with the Brotherhood, which is very easy to get. I really enjoyed my 223 hours in FFXV, this is one of my favorite platinums and 100% completion journeys in a videogame. Totally worth it! Who knows maybe I do a NG+ hahahahaha.

 

And with this my 100% journey is over sadly.

 

 

 

*I played on the physical Royal Edition, which brings a code that access all dlc (except for the Ardyn dlc which you'll need to buy separately) content including comrades. This code expires on June 2028, I paid 40 bucks for my sealed copy. But be warned!!!! If you are looking to get the RE for 100% you must buy the physical copy corresponding to your region, if you buy another region's copy the code won't work, to my knowledge.

The plat is another feat on its own, but I think completing the story in 35 hours deserves more recognition... I have no idea how you managed it! I was 30 hours into Final Fantasy 15 and I still had no idea what the game is about (I barely remember the main cast of character's names), so I stopped caring about it altogether, lol. It is definitely up there for me on worst FF experiences, I almost certainly will not be revisiting the game. You must have skipped past all of the side content and cleared through the main quests first?

Hahaha thanks! Did you play Royal Edition or the Vanilla game? Royal Edition adds more to the story and parts to the game. Of course you need to watch the movie first to understand what is going on, which sucks but you can see it as a big intro hahaha if I hadn't watched the movie I would also be lost hahaha. Well it's a shame you didn't like the game and the characters but I understand. I didn't skipped past all side content, neither I rushed the game hahahaha I had at least 30 side quests done before the last chapter, as for the hunts, well you basically have to do them if you want to level up and earn gil, so I had a few cleared also, but I stopped doing them when I felt the game became easier than it is hahaha.

Earn all trophies.

- 13.15% RARE -

 

Enjoyment: 10/10

Difficulty: 4/10 or maybe 5/10 if you are new to SMT games.

Playtime: 120 hours

 

One of the greatest JRPG of all times, already played the FES version when released and probably i'm gonna play Reload in the future. I have to say that i prefer Persona 4 cast of characters but Persona 3 story is top notch. Sadly, a guide is almost mandatory for the platinum due to the social link system...but, since you need 2 full playthroughs for the platinum you still can do a first blind run.

Female main character is cool..not to mention her battle theme alone is awesome.

Yup, I have the Royal Edition - which, by the way, basically eliminated all challenge from the game because it enabled me to immediately equip the invincibility armour for the entire party, as well as all of the bonus content weapons that allowed me to shred through level 40 behemoths (the ones that spawn in the open world at night) and level 20+ soldier patrols (which regularly fly overhead as you're exploring) as a level 8. Because I was basically indestructible, it meant I was not diversifying in combat at all. I would just repeatedly use the same attacks over and over, which did the job pretty easily on anything I encountered. As a result, I suppose this added more pressure into the exploration and narrative aspects of the game, to really impress me because the gameplay was the same few buttons for me. As I said, I got 30 hours into it all but I hadn't done anything main quest-related since the prologue... The moment the open world was available to me, I began exploring and clearing side content (which this game has plenty of, as expected from a FF game). I earned the gold trophy for unlocking 100 skills in the many skill trees before even starting the first, proper main quest lol.

 

Nothing I just mentioned is particularly negative, and I understand I could have simply unequipped all of the Royal Edition gear for a better gameplay experience, but it really irked me that I had gotten 30 hours into a game and still had no idea what it was all about. If I may compare, I had just completed the original FF7 before I started playing 15 and in comparison, when I reached the 30-hour mark in that game, I was already knee-deep into the narrative and formed strong bonds with all of the party members.

 

I didn't watch the FF15 movie, though, nor the anime. I suppose some things I could have done differently to enjoy the experience at least slightly more. I did watch my sister play through a partial playthrough before I began my own, and therefore already knew some of the bigger story arcs - even so, I was excited to play them out myself... Alas, I don't think I will be picking this game back up. It's just one of those situations, y'know, when you have too many new games to play that revisiting one I didn't really like at all seems a bit unproductive.

 

I don't typically play JRPGS (I actually go out of my way to avoid them, usually) and despite playing a few of them, I have only ever finished one FF game (the original 7), but they always seem to throw a lot at you in similar ways FF15 did. I feel like with other RPGs (Skyrim, Dragon Age, Kingdoms of Amalur, etc.) they do a good enough job of introducing the central character(s), the main conflict and the world you are about to enter - THEN throw you into the open world. You are then able to explore and complete side content knowing, at least slightly, what you are up against (and I love doing this, exploring and clearing side content before the main quest). I feel that FF15 approached this oppositely - perhaps for those who didn't watch the movie, it throws you into this world with very little prior explanation, and it expects you to complete all of this side content (and care about it) - this didn't sit right with me, but again, I don't typically play JRPGs so I'm unaware if this is their usual formula.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT - #200

 

 

Being able to transfer data from the free version made the plat less grindy, getting 300 treasures for a trophy took me a week of binge watching TV shows, movies, and drinking coffee.

I can see why this is one of the rarest platinums in the Final Fantasy series, but it's probably my most proudest. I would only recommend going for this plat if you're a fan of Final Fantasy.

I remember playing the Dissidia games on my PSP years ago. They were really good, I don't know what happened here with Dissida NT? The game died so quick, felt like there was less content than the original games, and it looks like they were trying to cater to the esports/competitive scene with the 3v3 combat. All Square had to do was remake Duodecim for modern consoles, and NT probably would have done well.

Also rip Opera Omnia, I miss playing that game.

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN THREAT

FROM VICIOUS GIANT INSECTS THAT HAVE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK

WE'LL UNLEASH ALL OUR FORCES WE WONT CUT THEM ANY SLACK
THE EDF DEPLOYS!

 

The EDF franchise is a long running series that pits you vs armies and armies of insects, frogs, dragons, and aliens to defend mother Earth. Depending on the game, you will have your choice of ranger, a basic soldier with regular weapons, the wingdiver, a female soldier that can fly and dominate the battlefield, the mighty fencer that brings in the heavy weapons, and air raider that calls in air strikes and vehicles. Depending on the game, some classes are obviously better than others but as the series has gone on, they have gotten better. Also some games may have a different name for classes but they act almost the same as the others.

 

OUR SOLDIERS ARE PREPARED FOR ANY ALIEN THREATS

THE NAVY LAUNCHES SHIPS, THE AIR FORCE SEND THEIR JETS

AND NOTHING CAN WITHSTAND OUR FIXED BAYONETS

THE EDF DEPLOYS!

 

Each game has their own lists just about but with some similarities. Some of them has you collecting every weapon and equipment which is a grind in itself but with guides on what levels to farm, you can get them all after a few hours of grinding. You also need to do some online stuff such as reviving allies and healing allies. You'll also have to kill a ton of bugs ranging from thousands of ants and spiders to a few hundred of boss enemies or drop ships and a handful of final bosses. Each class also needs so much health as well. With Wingdiver the shooter, you have to clear each difficulty without dying which can be made easy if you get a ton of health. The major thing that makes the series difficult is having to clear the game on all difficulties for all classes. Some games are easier offline others are easier with a friend.

 

OUR FORCES HAVE NOW DWINDLED AND WE PULL BACK TO REGROUP

THE ENEMY HAS MULTIPLIED AND FORMED A MASSIVE GROUP

WE BETTER BEAT THESE BUGS BEFORE WE'RE ALL TURNED TO SOUP
THE EDF DEPLOYS!

 

While the series is fun, I do have some criticisms as well. There are a lot of reused levels that is painted as different missions but once you pay attention, you can start telling when a level is the same as from earlier but with different bugs and creatures to fight. Also, some missions just don't take the hint of when to end. It's like Billy Mays is the dungeon master of the level and by the time you clear out the enemies, he's like "BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" and more enemies spawn. Also, in order to unlock more weapons and upgrade your armor, you have to collect armor and weapon drops which are normally scattered across the battlefield and if all enemies die, the mission is over with and if you have a lot to pick up, you miss out on potentially unlocking new stuff.

 

Huge shout out to @SnowxSakura for starting us on this amazing franchise!

 

See you in EDF 6 in two months!

Milestone #225 - Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5)

 

 

All Trophies Obtained
Obtained all Kena: Bridge of Spirits trophies.

 

I happily glitched the master difficulty because it's a bullshit difficulty and I'll happily do it again on the PS4 version sometime in the future.

#81 - Cat Quest

Purrfect Pawtinum

 

[SoapMacTavish222]

#574 Fallout 4 for PS5

 

Already completed it back when it first came out on PS4. Since they decided to do another trophy list for PS5, I couldn't have it be the only Fallout game I never finished, so here we are. Runs a little smoother on PS5 but still the same Bethesda glitches we all know with items randomly disappearing or enemies randomly flying up into the air. Just a few more DLC trophies left for 100%

Yup, I have the Royal Edition - which, by the way, basically eliminated all challenge from the game because it enabled me to immediately equip the invincibility armour for the entire party, as well as all of the bonus content weapons that allowed me to shred through level 40 behemoths (the ones that spawn in the open world at night) and level 20+ soldier patrols (which regularly fly overhead as you're exploring) as a level 8. Because I was basically indestructible, it meant I was not diversifying in combat at all. I would just repeatedly use the same attacks over and over, which did the job pretty easily on anything I encountered. As a result, I suppose this added more pressure into the exploration and narrative aspects of the game, to really impress me because the gameplay was the same few buttons for me. As I said, I got 30 hours into it all but I hadn't done anything main quest-related since the prologue... The moment the open world was available to me, I began exploring and clearing side content (which this game has plenty of, as expected from a FF game). I earned the gold trophy for unlocking 100 skills in the many skill trees before even starting the first, proper main quest lol.

 

Yup, I understand your point of view, because it's true. This game combat system is very simple and repetitive. Of course on later areas of the game you can't breeze them with the same attacks or weapons, they'll require a lot more of preparation and strategy but overall yeah this game combat system is basically using a few bottoms for the most part and spamming items, of course at the beginning of the game you don't get 99 potions, phoenix downs, elixirs etc but still, I did only once on my first playthrough and it was to a Royal Edition boss hahaha and because I wanted to use a megapheonix down so I was waiting for everyone to die but I ran out of time and die hahaha. That's is why I said this game is a FF casual experience. Like in most FF games the more side stuff you do the easier the main story becomes since you get better gear and stuff. I'm more into the narrative aspects of any game I play so I always go for main story stuff first, and I can understand that having a combat system that not satisfies the player can be a big experience killer, me personally that's the very same reason why I hate the new God Of Wars, especially Ragnarök, I felt the same way you did with FFXV, it was the most boring game mechanics I've played in a long time, so I getcha hahahaha.

 

Yup trust me, once you see the movie and anime and then play the game, the game makes sense. They even added some scenes from the movie hahaha but yeah it's a pretty bad way of telling a story but I don't blame them since this game went though 10 years of development hell, and it's a miracle we got it. Hajime Tabata, the director, saved the game and I believe he and his team did what they could. But once you get deep in the story and the world you can tell they did put a lot of effort building it, it just like when you made a 10 page essay but you only need to deliver 3 pages so you have to crop a lot of stuff haha that's my example. And I understand your feeling of not coming back to the game it happens to all of us hahaha, like I said I didn't liked Ragnarök so I don't plan to go back and finish the DLC they added because is not a game meant for me haha. In the end is just all about personal preferences.

 

Well I was the same I didn't played JRPGS back then, until I played Final Fantasy x, which is the game that made me fall in love with the genre. The strongest point of the genre is always the narrative stuff (characters, story, world etc.) and the side content. I don't feel that FFXV expects you to finish all the side content to care about it but, because most of the side content in this game doesn't actually add much to the main story neither builds interesting characters like in previous games, in my opinion the game waste this opportunity to actually create good side characters, but yeah I was sent to catch frogs for a women I didn't care anything about it so yeah I getcha. But I still liked this game a lot and I can put aside my love for it (which is highly influenced by me playing the "complete" version of the game, I can totally understand if someone hated it because he played it on launch hahaha) and see objectively that is flawed in many ways.
