I finally finished this game. After my long distraction with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I’m back on the Final Fantasy hunt.

I finally finished this game. After my long distraction with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I’m back on the Final Fantasy hunt. While this one started out slow and riding around in a car didn’t feel very Final Fantasy to me, the deeper I got into game, the better I enjoyed the story. Also, really enjoyed the chapter that had a very surprising Resident Evil horror-esque vibe. That was completely unexpected, but welcome. Overall, a solid game in my book. Enjoyed this one more than the FF13 trio. Now onward to the next one.

Today I learned Lara Croft has a rare chance to photobomb you in this game. I was real confused by the random woman in an imperial camp till I looked it up.

In other news, holy shit this game is nearly 8 years old already.

This'll be the first and only replay I do as part of my Final Fantasy franchise playthrough, as it was the only entry I played prior to deciding to play them all in order.

This'll be the first and only replay I do as part of my Final Fantasy franchise playthrough, as it was the only entry I played prior to deciding to play them all in order. I feel like I sped through it the first time so I'm gonna make a conscious effort to slow down, tackle some side content, and also engage with the weird collection of media they put out surrounding it to the extent I can so I can maybe understand a bit of what the hell is going on in the story.

Booting up the Kingsglaive movie now. Hopefully it's decent, lol.

my least favorite in the whole FF series. nothing about it really grabbed me. it's been years, so perhaps I need to play it again and see if it grabs me this time

I started replaying XV on the side while playing XVI, and now I've completely switched over and I'm just completing this game and all of its DLCs lol.

Finished this game last night, the only words that come to mind are "missed potential". This video by Eyepatch Wolf sums up a lot of feelings I had about this game.

I just started this game, and man, does it give me whiplash. For everything I like, there is something I don't. Love the idea of a roadtrip across a big map. I love the party members and seeing them interact. This game is slathered in cheese though, some of the dialog makes me wince.

The story feels nonsensical, there will just be parts where an out of place cutscene starts? It looks like it is from something else, maybe a movie? It is so odd. I like the warp striking, its a cool mechanic to go from enemy to enemy, but I feel like the rest of the combat isn't that satisfying.

Whew, finished the movie, the anime, the game, the other anime episodes, all of the DLC, and I think I understand what happened and the motivations of the primary plot-movers. God help me, I'm actually looking forward to reading the book as well when my copy gets in.

Well, I'm finally getting around to giving this multimedia mishmash of an experience a go. I watched Kingsglaive and Brotherhood yesterday. Kingsglaive was fun and flashy and probably? had some good insights for the game, but felt a bit disjointed. I actually really enjoyed Brotherhood -- I think it did an excellent job with the character building.

I played the actual game for about an hour tonight. So far, I'm enjoying it. I already like the characters from the anime. I'm enjoying the roadtrip vibes. The combat seems engaging enough. I think the main thing for me is going to be not getting too caught up in side content and burning myself out on the game before I finish the story.

Honorable Mention 2. Stand By Me

I really like Florence Welch's cover of the Ben E. King's Stand By Me for Final Fantasy XV. But once again, it feels like a bit of a cheat since it is a cover. Regardless, I like it and I'll die one day so I may as well share the joy I get out of things now while I can. I really enjoy this cover. The harp adds a mystical energy that Welch's deep voice grounds in reality. Almost like a fantasy adventure grounded by a road trip with your bros.

Oh, wow! Regarding gameplay, Final Fantasy XV is pretty far from everything the series has made until today. But, that's not really a problem if we consider the new player friendly approach in its opening message. The highest point is really the characters. Man, what characters!

Oh, wow! Regarding gameplay, Final Fantasy XV is pretty far from everything the series has made until today. But, that's not really a problem if we consider the new player friendly approach in its opening message. The highest point is really the characters. Man, what characters! I haven't sympathized with Final Fantasy characters like this since FFVII and FFXII. I played in normal difficulty and it was pretty straightforward gaming, no gameovers even. It is a very good story and I was moved to watery eyes (no tears dropped) by the ending. I keep thinking that if this had a smooth development this could have been one hell of a story in the Final Fantasy franchise, truly one of the best.
