Only a little over 200 days remaining *sigh*
Yes and no, I guess I'll keep it spoiler free, the game track your attitude toward the other character and at some point you'll go on a date with whoever you have the highest point with. But the deck are HEAVILY stacked in favor one particular person, and unless you go out of your way to favor someone else (you have to be a real jerk to everyone else), you're always going to get the same person. So there's not really a triangle (also it doesn't really matter for reason I won't mention).Elfgore said:
Who, Jessie? Nah, she's not new. Avalanche had more members than just your party members.Aiddon said:
Critical must have forgotten the very beginning of the game. Even I remember Jessie. This game is coming out sooner than expected. I might get it, but I'll wait and see.Asita said:
That game wasn't bad though. You just had to watch the prequel anime, play chapter 1 of the game then watch the movie Kingslaive and wait for a few years for DLC to fill in further story gaps.PsychedelicDiamond said:
What? I didn't forget Jessie. I didn't even mention anything about new characters. Also the new character is the Soldier that chases them during the bike scene in the trailer. probably.CoCage said:
I wouldn't call FF XV bad either, just crushingly underwhelming, considering how good some of the trailers looked. I mean, I know the game had an extremely troubled development cycle and I'm not meaning to harp on it but the second half, where it became clear the budget ran out and the game was rushing from plot point to plot point without being able to let any of them sink in or expand upon them was just... depressing. I mean, as soon as the game actually has you visit interesting locations you don't actually get to explore these locations in an open world anymore. That was just sad. And then there's the combat, which had an interesting idea somewhere, in the sense that basing it around holding buttons rather than pressing them at least indicated that they were willing to think outside the box when it comes to action combat but it never quite clicked.stroopwafel said:That game wasn't bad though.

Even had they implemented the entire story from the beginning it wasn't very good to begin with. I still really enjoyed FF15 though. It had a really chill atmosphere and exploring the world was a blast. It was cool to see classic Final Fantasy creatures in a realistic background at such high resolution. The weather effects in particular are gorgeous and I have never seen another game done that 'damp' effect that happens when warm weather returns after heavy rain. It's full of details like this that add to the mood. I also thought the boy band was gonna suck but they were remarkably likeable with interesting character arcs. The combat was also surprisingly fun despite some issues like camera being obscured in foliage or it not really working in cramped environments. I enjoyed the game, it was never tedious or boring and didn't overstay it's welcome like most other open world games. At it's best moments FF15 felt like original modern ideas meeting classic JRPG design.
Yeah, that overdesigned wreck that's clearly brought to attention. In fact, even having another motorcycle chase raises alarm bells. Like I've said elsewhere, this entire project has just seemed off from day one. It really reminds me of the Special Editions of Star Wars.Meiam said:
I don't even get the point. Probably none of the people working on this remake ever had anything to do with the original. They are changing the story, the tone, the pacing, the characters, the visuals, the gameplay, the music, everything. This won't be Final Fantasy 7 because FF7 already exists and is nothing like what we're seeing here. A decade ago I might have wished for a FF7 with character models that didn't look like Popeye the lego man, but I regret even thinking that now. Once you go in and start retroactively changing a work how do you know where to stop? When something is made it should stand as it is and not be constantly be rewritten over and over by new people who think they can do it better. Movies, games, and books, ect. are special because of the people that made them, a part of them ended up in the work. If you change the team you change the work and you lose what made it special to begin with.Aiddon said:
Notably the present was also rambling about some conspiracy thing to deal with Wutai too. Presumably meaning they're jamming in another plot thread so that they can fit the entirely optional continent into the episodic structure.Aiddon said:
