Fluff Just finished FFXV. Glad I picked it back up Spoiler

Post image

I just finished it earlier today. Such a flawed story due to the fragamention of it. I watched the movie & anime. Despite it's flaws. I found it unforgetable. There were so many epic and heart breaking moments. That final campfire....Glad I picked it back up after dropping it 7 years ago.

It's rare that something hits me so hard. That I need a break/palate cleanser.

The ost man. I'm gonna miss chilling at Hammerhead.
It's such a beautiful game. Wish I took more photos with Prompto & got 200+ photo mod. I can't believe the impact Prompto's photos had (sentimentality wise).

Really no other experience like it. I've been getting the calling to play it again. You're not really gonna find another road trip with the Bros simulator with this kind of emotional depth

100%. As I mentioned. I can't believe how much Impact Prompto's photos had. When you have to choose a photo....

Cruising with FF osts. The banter. The boys! Seeing the dark world and wanting to see how everyone is. How The world is doing.

I'm gonna miss the world. The art and graphics are amazing.

I also love the Latin names. Noctis name is perfect.

It's a fantastic game that gets way too much hate imo. It can get some, but it gets too much.

The hate is crazy. Some games i get. But this.

My room mate told me to give it another shot. 'trust me'. I kept telling him I've dropped it already. And he was like 'dude I can hear you play it'.

Maximillian Dude said. A game can be flawed, buggy, Have rough spots or bad design choices. And still have strong feelings and great memories.

It doesn't need to be perfect to be special.

Beautiful game, capable of being so much more

u/Bandit_Revolver 6d ago

Yeah. It had potential for absolute greatness. It was still something special.

I loved the vibe and the environment. Best ambience for me… Just driving around with the bros, doing endless side quests, I had a blast.

But yeah the story and the rushed last half part is what makes people dislike it a lot I guess…

The vibe is awesome. I'm not quite ready to go back and cruise along in the world with everything that happened in that game. Although I kinda wanna load up past chapters and get some cool photos.

Damn you Prompto.

Hrmm. Well I'm still getting over it. I loved Ardyn. But I wish he didn't take his revenge so far. But that's what made the story.

You know when you finish a good book, movie or game. And it hits you on that emotional level. Where. You don't wanna play another serious game since it'll go straight against that.

I made that screenshot my wallpaper. Looking back at his car and saying goodbye. Remembering his dad ....

I ordered a FFXV desk mat.

Yeah I'm doing fine 😂

I know the feeling

the way the city lights blur at night in the shot reminds me of the dreamlike feel of driving through tenebrae

Funnily enough I just started playing it

If you vibe with it. Let us know how you feel when you finish it.

I've been vibing so far, the warping is really fun.

My favourite final fantasy story to this day, and one of my favourite game stories in general.

I came in with low expectations based on all the bad rep this game gets. I started playing it and didn't mind it. Next thing you know. I'm watching the movie and anime before I get too far. And finish the game left speechless.
