final fantasy xv

millennial gamer neighbor hung out and watched me play then pointed out that in this game i am playing the role of "part of team fuccboi" and it has made it difficult not to think of my character as such

okay, i tried this for like three hours and i hate it. I think i'm gonna play dark souls iii again instead.

only at about chapter 6 but i think i kinda love this game. despite being terrible at combat, i'm loving the characters, cruising in the regalia, the setting, and the story (so far..). as with all the open world games, has a bit too many fetch quests that i feel like i have to complete, but yeah best FF since IX or X for sure.

its a big fat mess, but a very very lovable one.

the second it went linear i lost all interest, haven't played it since

i was deeply deeply disappointed with the combat; it's sloppy and I don't feel like i have any control over it. the camping sequences and cooking and photography all feels not fun to me.

i have a feeling (no spoilers please!!) that at the end of the game there will be some sort of slideshow of all the photos you've saved throughout your journey. i'm 100% down with the road trip aspect of the game so i think it'll be fun to see all the pictures along the way after spending like 40 hours with the game.

mostly agree with the combat aspect though i feel like i'm getting better at it and there are hints that it goes quite deep. i mean every time i cast a spell i hit my allies and take away 50% of their hp, there's got to be more to it right?

use Ignis regroup to gather everyone to you before using magic helps a ton

Square Enix just announced in a livestream that three of the four upcoming pieces of downloadable content for Final Fantasy XV have been cancelled. The one remaining will be out next year.

Back in April, we were told there’d be four more pieces of DLC coming for the 2016 game, with episodes called Ardyn, Aranea, Luna and Noctis. Only Ardyn is left, and it’ll be out in March 2019.

In addition to the cancellations, it was also announced that Hajime Tabata, the man who took over from Tetsuya Nomura as director of the game in 2013, has left Square Enix.

reading the tea leaves, i guess not enough people are playing/buying DLC to justify making more. i still haven't played XV at all, but i was thinking of taking it on sometime the next year or two when i can nab it at a bargain price.

the first season of ffxv dlc did well i think. they just built tabata a new studio for some big new project he was gonna direct so this is a very sudden change of direction,

just saw this and am struck by how entirely Conan hit the mark here
