It's quite amazing how fundamentally broken and awful the gameplay is. You literally (and I mean literally) can not die in this game unless you actually handicap yourself. It broke one of the most basic rules of an Action RPG when it comes to healing, you can only use the items you have equipped during combat. In Final Fantasy XV, the game pauses when you open your inventory and you can use ANY item you want with no penalty. Holy fuck who agreed to this? Did they not know that makes the game pointless to play if there is no risk and you can spam items at will.
Take Witcher 3 or the Kingdom Hearts series for example, you can only use items you in combat that you have equipped which is how it should be yet FF XV ignores this and makes the combat so unsatisfying and boring. There is so many bad decisions with this game and it actually shocking that some people defend this piece of shit
>magic system is so brokenly OP that they needed to "balance" it by making it so the AOE of magic damages you as well. >you can counter this by equipping an item in your accessory slot.
Why the fuck is Cor in this picture like he's a legit party member?
Aiden Hughes
I’m mad at all magic is just grenades and you can’t control summons.
Zachary Parker
>Magic works like grenades >You can hurt yourself and your party members >NEVER give your party members magic because they always hit you This game is a fuck up on a legendary magnitude
He was supposed to become a permanent party member, save from story missions, alongside Iris, the dragon chick, Lady Lunafreya, cid and even Cindy You could vote wich one should they work first, they dropped that
Nolan Gutierrez
the webm you posted is awful. This is what you call god tier combat
That about sums up modern vidya. Take all control away from players whilst they watch the flashy animations play.
Isaiah Torres
>sums up modern vidya. >Take all control away from players Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII, games from the 90s, are the games to blame for that.
Wrong. FFVII had plenty of turn based battles which gave you complete control of your actions. The same for MGS with its Action/Stealth gameplay. Just because they were cutscene heavy doesn't mean they took control away.
Adrian Nelson
You talking about the dlc?
Jace Moore
Funnily enough, Dragon’s Dogma also kind of does the same thing with its item system but I still enjoy the hell out of that game compared to XV.
Cooper Sanders
Supposed to be a masterpiece what the fuck happened I mean I know what happened it damn that just goes to show that any game could turn shit despite large budget.
Never played it but is it more balanced than XV? Because XV is not balanced at all, not only do we have a broken item system but we also have a broken magic system
Jackson Taylor
MGS constantly forces players into scripted action set pieces which greatly reduce player agency. Compare it to Thief, which released the same year, to see how shallow and simplistic Metal Gear Solid's approach was to gameplay, all in the name of being cinematic.
FF15 is what happens when you combine the worst parts of Dragons Dogma with the worst parts of MGSV: The Phantom Pain.
I want the open world sandbox meme to die
Jace Ross
That’s because Dragon’s Dogma automatically gave you a game over if your health dropped to 0. XV couldn’t even commit to that.
Cameron Kelly
nope, some time before episode Ignis came you had the chance to vote for what they should be working on, the winner, surprise surprise, was Episode Ignia but it had a lot of options
Henry Richardson
Some of it is unbalanced but it’s actually fun compared to XV. youtu.be/S2v-FYCN72M

>When your HP hits 0 you go into the danger zone. >When you lose all your danger zone HP, the game literally freezes for ten seconds so you can fully revive/heal your entire party HOW DO YOU FUCK UP THIS BAD
Open world sandboxes have been around since the 80s, zoomer.
Isaac Cooper
>exact same gameplay for ff7 remake >it's gonna be different this time!
Levi Reed
>Never played it but is it more balanced than XV? Dragons Dogma was designed to feel and play a lot like if pen+paper dungeons and dragons was a video game.
Weapons and armor offer flat damage and defense increases. If your sword has 50 ATK and you hit an enemy with 49 DEF, you will do 1 dmg.
On the flip side of that coin, once you get endgame gear, you are retardedly overpowered and your party will run around killing ogres and cyclopses in 5 seconds
Zachary Wright
Open world sandboxes aren’t inherently bad, much like how linearity isn’t bad. It’s just when bad games use them as a crutch that problems start to occur.
Finally let him do his thing without Disney breathing down his neck, but give him almost nothing as a team and a broken engine from XIII that ran like dogshit
Took away what little talent he had under him to go fix the disaster that was XIV
Also assigned to several other games including multiple KH in the meantime
Finally get the green light for full production after years of working on it in his spare time trying to piece something together and managed to get some amazing ideas and outlines out along with stunning trailers and solid gameplay showcased
Halfway through it get told he's now the director of FFVIIR DURING the reveal trailer and his pet project is being given to someone else who ends up scrapping every good part Nomura had planned and ruined his one shot at steering the franchise back on track
If you have a good one to recommend, I'd be happy to play it.
The problem with all games like this is it feels like one team creates the world map, and another team creates the assets, and the two teams never communicate, so at the end, somebody just goes around randomly slapping assets into a soulless world map
Cameron Gonzalez
Nomura should team up with Kojima.
Anthony Johnson
>final fantasy got turned into an action rpg >we'll never get ATB back Just kill me desu Fuck nomura
Alexander Richardson
>we'll never get ATB back Is this supposed to be a bad thing?
Blake Campbell
Breath of the Shart is a better example.
Wakestones.
Jason James
>attacks actually look like they have weight Jesus, did XV drop the ball hard.
Justin Thompson
Meanwhile this chucklefuck got basically unlimited funding and free reign to do whatever he wanted for 3 games
You forgot the part where he had to work on the original KH by himself for the first year before they gave him a team. Maybe Square Enix does hate him for some reason.
All he did was draw the characters (didn't even really design them, read an interview where he said Square was pretty strict about what they had to look like and made him use an anime style he didn't particularly like) and give a few plot ideas
He started out doing monsters for FFV and didn't get any real recognition until Amano left and he became lead chara designer
Wyatt Russell
Nice try, Barry.
Isaiah Jackson
How long until he blows up and starts with the copypastas lads. It's been awhile since his last autism fit.
Cameron Walker
I mean I dislike all of nomura's designs. I think 7-10 with the exception of 9 have by far the worst designs of the classic ff games. Everything after 10 is an even bigger abomination, especially 13 and 15.
Lucas Watson
Disney even meddled in KH 3. Nomura should just leave Square so he can be free to do what he wants and not have to worry about the retardation that is Square and the poison that is Disney

It shipped 8.4 million. Who knows what the digital numbers were. I honestly don't care, it still outsold MGS5, so I'm upset about that. It's still a good game.
Liam Sanders
why did they advertise Luna if she was only in the game for 5 secs fucking hell Noctis banged Iris and Sara before he could have even talked to Luna
Thankfully I must have missed it. Though I shouldn't poke the beast, maybe we'll finally be able to have FF threads, and even mention FFXV, without him derailing them again.
Brayden Myers
>only one person on Yea Forums could *possibly* like this game I irrationally hate!
The only time I ever had fun in FFXV was when I intentionally fought a high level enemy while I was underleveled, and that's hard to do when the game practically showers you with free EXP and makes most enemies trivial.
Because XV is a shit game. That is a fact. I'm 28 btw
Ayden Martin
>implying zoomers aren’t the ones loving this shit
Elijah Sanders
XV has mechanics a lot of people overlook because they don't try and learn, but XV is just a what could have been and it is nice for that. Decent package
Connor Bell
What good are the mechanics if the game itself doesn’t require you to learn them to get through it?
Carson Phillips
Since this is a Final Fantasy thread I guess, is Type 0 worth playing? I can buy it now for $9. Never played it but I'm on a FF high right now.
you might figure out what is better to use and learn more about it for the sake of enjoying the game and learning how deep it can go. there is a lot of that in XV. handicaps are also fun to apply in games like this.
Jordan Murphy
Kagari seems pretty cute ngl.

It's alright. Nothing too great but not exactly all that bad either.

Angel Nelson
Tabata has made 1 good game (Crisis Core), 1 mediocre game (Type-0), 1 shit game (Final Fantasy XV) and 1 abomination (3rd Birthday) . What a great resume he has
The hardest bit in the entire game is grinding for exp with Menace Sleeps in Costlemark, unless you have the rip-off power ranger suits. That and Gladio v Cor in his dlc
