i don't like several of the decisions they made with sidequests and navigation, but i genuinely can't blame them for putting the resources they had into the road trip - which turned out to be the best part of the game - instead of making a kh clone or another corridor ff to service the story
i don't like that their solution to budget/time issues was invariably "it happened offscreen," but i genuinely can't blame them for wanting to ship a complete story no matter the cost, in case the game didn't perform to management's expectations and they'd never get the chance to follow up with a sequel
no amount of artistic genius could satisfy 10 years of steadily-accumulating fanboy headcanon. that doesn't mean ignoring 15's problems, but it also doesn't warrant scapegoating one guy, or even the team, for trying to salvage what they could under impossible restrictions

>>the ff15 reveal trailer was just a target render of what they wanted the game to look like. there wasn't actually any game yet, as they'd only just begun to restart the project
Untrue
>>you know how kh's plot ran away with itself? the ff15 of 2013 had 7 years to grow out of control, into a massively overambitious concept that the team was beginning to pitch as a trilogy
I don't see how that excuses Tabata making a shit game
>>meanwhile, squeenix management wasn't convinced that even the one game was worth the cost, especially with kh3 and ff7 remake in development
FF7R hadn't even begun its planning stages when FFXV was halfway through development
>>when tabata was promoted, he and his team were given only 3 years to build an entire engine and game out of ^this clustershit, under threat that it might be the last big-budget final fantasy ever made if it doesn't perform
They were given 3.5, a huge budget, a shitload of concept pieces, a finished script, assets, a soundtrack, and then decided to make something else anyway. FFV13 was 25% finished when it was changed to FFXV, and FFXV uses a lot of those assets.

I do, but I admit they did a pretty shit job on handling her character. Hopefully the new cutscenes in the future make it up for it.
>>360876845
I don't blame Tabata or Nomura.
I blame the higher ups for keeping the game at lowest priority up until they desperately needed money.
>>360877440
I cared more about Ignis losing his sight than Luna dying
>>360877440
Why would they?
Iris is cute, Gentiana is ara-ara and Aranea is awsome.
There is no point to Luna.
>>360877440
that ugly character design
>>360877592
>I blame the higher ups for keeping the game at lowest priority up until they desperately needed money.
I don't think they believe in the project, personally. The way that last year they dropped the FF7R bomb, and the way that there's been a lot of low budget spin offs/ports in the last few years makes me believe they were expecting XV to bomb and needed to supplement their income.

it's a xenogears situation
the first half is very good and seems like it's setting up an amazing game, but then they ran out of time/budget and it turns to shit until the ending
don't leave the open world in chapter 8 until you're completely done with it; you can go back any time, but story events make it difficult to get back into the camping-and-questing mindset
>>360877717
They were probably the messengers that spoke to humanity on behalf of the gods, an in-game book states there were 24.
Somewhere along the development they just dropped the whole thing and kept seven shivas an that was that

>>360877845
Well, this game has nothing to discuss other than Waifus and Husbando, anon.

>>360877994
>>360877947
Just saying, usually we get at least a solid month of discussing games before the /vg/ waifu fags completely derail threads.
>>360877845
It started with waifuposting with some light discussion, to a bunch of days of legit discussion with minimal waifuposting, then to shitpost central of how much XV sucks, and then back to waifuposting.
>>360877845
What would you discuss? Don't say something dumb like "gameplay". You just play the game, you don't have to discuss gameplay unless you're having trouble with a part of the game or it's a multiplayer game.
>>360877440
They gave us zero reasons to. She has barely any screen time and when she does its boring. She is barely a character. She's just tuff every scene. I can barely describe her because I have nothing to work with.
>>360876261

>>360876149

It's his fucking idea.
And Noctis keeps botching it.
>>360876495
>>360877845
Iris and Gentiana are tied up. No one can even touch Aranea.
>>360878079
It's just the usual irisfags who like to self insert themselves into Noctis to justify their lust for her even though Noctis has zero interest in Iris.
So it's clear that, in terms of strength, it starts out
1. Lightning (by way of being a goddess or some shit)
2. Noctis
Where do the other FF protags fall?
>>360878247

We have had a shit ton of threads talking about the game but it's just Nomurafags and Tabatafags areguing back and forth over how the game turned out and what could have been.
Just enjoy the game for what it is, a good but flawed game.

Noct looks uncomfortable as fuck in every scene with Iris. From his perspective she is just annoying, clingy shit.

You don't think Terra might be stronger than Noctis? She's like half summon basically, right? If you add human to anything it gets stronger, that's how fictional fantasy genes work.

>>360879229

>Ignis: Noctis is more concerned about Lady Lunafreya's well being more than anyone else
>Noctis: I'm going to sleep

I hate how these bro camp quests / scenes are so easily missable unless you hunt them down or obsessively search the map for every haven and them camp at them. They're great touches that add to the characters but I would only seen like two of them unless I looked up the locations for the rest.

I had hope that Ravus was the Vergil of the game. Fight him multiple times then he'd join you in the battle against Ardyn. Afterwards fight over the ring and kill him while Luna cries in the background. Could have been neat.
>>360879832

Even a girl who was cut from the game is better than Luna. And got more screentime too. Luna is so fucking shit, I can't believe they thought she was a good character, let alone main heroine worthy. They do a really shit job at making you care for her, which makes it hard to empathize with Noctis' feelings for her.
>>360876000
>post-timeskip DLC of Aranea, Iris and Cindy traveling around fighting daemons never
Shit hurts. Instead we'll probably just get DLC of Luna doing nothing but being bland.

They butchered the NA translation. He actually says he loves them.
>>360879938
>>360880024
The game gives you too many items without buying them. It's not the items fault but the fact that the game gives you TWO chances that last forever to save yourself. Even without items your friends constantly save you. I don't think that's cheesing. Cheesing is like being somewhere a boss can't touch you and killing him.
>>360879957
>>Luna getting shanked
This would have weight if we were ever made to feel attached to Luna, and feel that Luna and Noct were connected beyond exchanging messages in a notebook because they've not met each other for years and are only being wed as part of a peace treaty.
>>360880330
Like Stella :^)
>>360880431
Either way, I find the combat in this game hugely overrated, it's kinda fun but the AI isn't worth a tin of beans where it really counts and the game apes action games so closely in the combat that I can just play Bayonetta if I wanted to and get a better experience, the rest of FFXV outside the combat is straight up padding so it's not like you're getting a great game with the combat.

The Chopping Block - Fallaughns Haven - West of Cauthess Rest Area
Case of the Stolen Specs - Pectriche Haven - Inside Myrlwood, which is also near Vesperpool parking
Prompto:
Up Close and Personal - Pullmoor Haven - southwest of Coernix Station Alstor

Kingsglaive was her chance to shine, but Square turned her into object of escort mission for Nyxdesu, they handled Luna`s brother even worse.Nyx was descent character. But it would be cool if Luna escaped Insomnia alone. With ring, oracle powers and may be some help of Ravus.
How much better/different would the game be if Iris was the main girl? Everything that happens to Luna happens to Iris and Luna becomes the ignored girl?

I don't like how tapping the attack button feels. The animations were made to just flow into each other by holding down the button. When you press attack, it feels more like pressing play. Attacks aren't snappy enough and don't come out immediately as I press the button so there isn't enough indication when a move starts or ends. I can't time my attacks, there's no need either. I can't even precisely aim my attacks because of auto targeting.

I don't think you understand. You're constantly locked on to only the points allowed to you by the game. Let's say you have an enemy with two lock on points on its side. You can't choose to aim between them. Noctis will attack one or the other. You can hit that spot if you position yourself just right but that's not what Noctis is aiming for and will move closer to what he actually wants to hit.

>the game apes action games so closely in the combat that I can just play Bayonetta if I wanted to and get a better experience
It actually doesn't, and I'm pretty sure the confusion is why people don't like this game's combat. XV's combat is far more reactive than combo based like DMC style games. What I mean by that is that you do much better moving in and out of combat by warping, parrying, building up your tech meter or whatever it's called, and using magic than trying to get in as many hits as possible, doing animation cancels, and dodging. Also the fact that you can't dodge out of an attack animation, and you can't really stun enemies with constant attacking, while also being knocked down by one hit makes this game feel very different from typical action games. This is why I think people have problems with the combat, because it's far too sluggish to treat it like a DMC game, especially given that you normally fight large swarms of enemies, where the best tactic then is to hold down square rather than circle, do a dodge and then attack, since the attack out of dodge normal knocks away groups of enemies. That's what I mean by the combat being more reactive than proactive.

>>360882638
Use the great sword or polearm.
>>360882648
I worked on the game.
I still need to know who was Izunia.
The english dub seems to have it implied that it was someone Noctis knows, while the japanese audio really was asking "i wonder who Izunia is".
What's the truth?
>>360882701
I guess you had to be there.
>>360881345
fuck, me too. they should have had it fixed and waiting at hammerhead in the ruin world

>>360882202
>Listening to a marketing poll
>>360882202
well deserved
>>360882781
I thought he was referring to noctis as being Izunia, since ardyn is the true calum.
>>360882701
Also, everyone's just like "Hey buddy, it's been 10 years, good to see you again!" Really? After 10 years that's all you have to say? 10 fucking years? Hell even 1 year apart should warrant more of a discussion.
>>360882923
man if only the world of darkness was Part 2 of the open world, and you had to go around exploring the vaults BEFORE going to ardyn
it would've made so much sense and caught up to so many characters
>>360882495
But you can't target what the game doesn't allow you to which is the space between target points.
For example, and forgive me if I'm wrong because I haven't fought one in a while, those long necked giraffe things have a target point on their head and on the body. How can I choose to attack the neck? I can warp to the head, fall, and start attacking I guess but then Noctis will automatically warp mid combo to what the game wants me to attack. Which is the head or body.
>>360882818
It would help if Noctis actually auto attacked in the air if an enemy is taller than you. As it stands now he does one combo then drops back to the ground and starts swinging at the air by it's feet.
>>360876484
>Hey there pretty boy
I knew she was the best girl the instant I heard that line.
>>360882908
For s split second it made me wonder if Izunia was the maiden name of Noctis' mother.
It's another "You'll eventually know in a DLC" I guess.
I actually hope we get to know it.
>>360882923
I think the biggest non-change I'm most disappointed by is Prompto, he's still a fucking puppy, imavine if he manned up and actually got together with Cindy and they were both present at Hammerhead 10 years later, it would actually feel like life had moved on or something.
>>360882781
The line "i wonder who Izunia is" is in the eng dub too.
Ardyn is the ancient king who healed his people by taking shit ton of demon's in himself and saving his people, but the gods refused to give him the afterlife he longed for due to being full of demons. So he became immortal and was seeking someone that was capable of killing him.
At least that's what I got out of it.

Im pretty sure hes referring to the fact that his right to be king was overthrown by the izunia family, so my guess would be noctis is part izunia/calum.

>>360882717
Not good enough. I main those dude. They don't reach far enough horizontally side to side. The best melee crowd control option is the spin2win move the greatsword has. You can't just do it though like you could in Platinum demo. In platinum demo it was hold back+attack and was spammable. Now you need to delay your attack and by then the assassins I'm fighting have already fucked me up.

The joke here is that the English version has indisputably worse voice sync, and the writing quality is miles worse - though if you don't speak Jap you will have to deal with the latter regardless.

Not really. She's got a roughness to her voice that perfectly suits the battle hardened type of character she's voice acting. It just feels off to you because you already played it in JP and hearing other dubs wont feel right.
>How? It's infinitely less stilted and poorly delivered than the English one.
Because the English subs aren't a translation of the JP dub, they're just subs for the localized English dub, so there's a jarring gap between what they're saying and what I'm reading. There's good and bad parts of it anyway, and I have no doubt in my mind that the same applies to the JP dub.

Oh come the fuck on. This argument is awful. Don't just assume someone is close minded and unable to listen to something objectively. Her voice isn't just worse because of the voice I heard first, it's worse because it's worse.
>>360883931
I'm not really asking for advice on how to defeat them. I'm just saying that this is something that's should be fixed. If I'm not holding R1 to lock on, why does the game then hold it for me? Auto targeting needs to be removed.

It's because you people who swear by JP dubs for everything ever always make sweeping statements that ALL the English VAs are shit by comparison. I just can't take you seriously and assume for your own sake that you only like it more because that's what you're used to. You can stop bringing Cindy up as well, I have no disagreements about her being shit, but that is irrelevant and has nothing to do with Aranea's voice which there is nothing wrong with at all.
I used to swear by JP dubs myself when I was weeb fag who watched anime every day but after leaving those days behind I've noticed how JP dubs are often very overdramatic and just speak in completely unrealistic ways and I find that just as bothersome stiff English voice acting.
