      @@sudanemamimikiki1527 I do absolutely think Comrades was the intended combat, but because the new creative director was given only 3 years to fix the mess Nomura left behind after 7 years, they had to water down the main game's combat. It got much better with free updates and the royal edition, but Comrades is still a lot more fun. There are just random installations through the world that makes me think Cid being the upgrading method by just handing him the weapons and materials and waiting a while wasn't the original plan.

He’s played quite a few big roles, but the ones he’s always excited about are the smaller local projects he gets to be a part of, and every weekend without fail he’s rehearsing and performing at local venues as a musician.

      2. Eat Lasagna
      3. Craft magic that both damages and gives an XP boost.
      4. Kill the giant turtle and other super bosses repeatedly
      5. Return to Altissia and find the SPECIFIC CLERK that offers a 3.0 boost (because there are two, and only one offers it)

    I remember when I was watching my friend play this on their birthday, we actually did the math on how much the Cup Noodle costs in-game compared to real life and with how much fuel costs in-game and in real life and do a comparison with each other. From what I remember, gas is very abundant in the world of Final Fantasy XV that it costs basically 50 cents to fill up your car's tank full while a single Cup Noodle costs about the same as gas prices were back in 2017 per gallon. Cup Noodle is treated more of a luxury than gas is in Final Fantasy XV.

    To actually experience the full game and understand the story you have to:
    - Play the mobile game (King's Tale)
    - Play the Platinum demo.
    - Watch the Kingsglaive movie (50% of the plot happened here)
    - Watch the 5 episodes of the exclusive CZcams anime series.
    - Buy 6 DLC (Some of the DLC were cancelled leaving the story incomplete)

    12:54 Actually, fun fact about that. On release, it did NOT work on the turtle. The devs UPDATED THE GAME to MAKE IT work on the turtle. But the thing is, Max0r didn't actually cover this properly, because it doesn't ALWAYS work on the turtle. It has a very small chance to. So the most efficient leveling method is to eat Lasagne, buy like 50 Hi-Elixirs, Try the ring, if it fails, take a Hi-Elixir and try again, rinse and repeat until it works, and then sleep at a specific room in the hotel in *Venezuela*

It was one of the photos I took after talking to that teleporting dog with the letters for the first time, and it made the scene a lot more wholesome because the baby was so cute.

Skill builds upon Talent. Someone with a talent for playing piano will be able to play piano without having ever practiced playing a piano, and in addition will always play much better than someone who has no talent yet also practices doing the same thing.

His entire plan was to get back at Bahamut because Bahamut is a piece of shit and the reason why Noctis had to kill himself at the end of the game.

    My personal Break The Game experience actually involved going into a high-level dungeon after getting the ability to claim regalia and fighting a samurai monster that could annihilate the entire party instantly. Except me, because I knew how to dodge, parry, and riposte. So, the fight was basically me dropping three magic grenades on him, then parrying and avoiding the occasional AOE attack until I killed him, then complete the quest.
    It's a level 50+ quest with a level 50+ boss you can clear at level 5-10 if you master the mechanics. You make enough experience off of it to elevate Noctis to godhood for the early game.
    You: "What about the rest of the party?"
    Me: "What *about* the rest of the party? I've just finished establishing that they're all kinda useless and I'm the only one who matters. They can wait until I can cheese the mountain turtle for their turn to ascend to godhood."

      Bruh I remember this quest, the funny/awesome part for me was that in fighting so hard...I kept on having carbuncle (which was back when it popped up more if you played the demo) pop in and rez everyone. Out of all the ff15 summons carbuncle became my God in that moment as I basically level skipped to like 40-50 something from like 12-15
      (Edit: I do stress how hilarious this was...I went down like 4-7 times, literally fighting knowing I was suposd to die...but literally the cute crystal dog REFUSED to let me die. In that moment carbuncle established itself as MORE useful, and more canonically helpful than ANY of the summons.)

The only parts of the main story I ever really paid attention to were when it involved the party as a whole and how it effected their friendship, and the post credits cutscene was such a perfect finish that it actually was able to make me cry since I came to care about those 4, even though I could give less of a fuck about the story itself.

Even something as dumb as that integration they had with that mobile game that never released, or the fact they added the ability to play as Prompto and whip out a rocket launcher, or the monster truck driving, or even the flying car, it all just seemed like something that had some real love put in, even if that love was a little misdirected. It's one of those rare B-movies with a true blockbuster budget; and I think I'll forever love the game for that.

    The Latin names are easier to tolerate when you consider other FF games have people named:
    Lightning
    Snow
    Cloud
    Squall
    Tidus
    But I’ll give this game credit, it made me appreciate my friends

    I have a hypothesis that after Sakaguchi stopped writing scenarios in 2000 and Kitase stopped directing in 2001, and after Nobuo Uematsu dropped the lead composer role around the same time, the entire franchise of mainline, single-player Final Fantasy games was dumped unceremoniously into the sweaty, unshaven pile of belts and zippers that calls itself Tetsuya Nomura. the guy whose own creative direction can't be followed without deeply upsetting himself on a fundamental level, allegedly.

      Well, at least Final Fantasy XVI is under the supervision of Naoki Yoshida, the man who took Final Fantasy XIV from an unmitigated disaster to the best modern FF game with a story that rivals (and maybe even surpasses) the series’s best & actually has good project management skills (something sorely lacking in the games industry, as indicated by all the developmental disasters like FFXV that we get almost every year).

      Actually, Nomura got kicked off the project and it was handed over to Hajime Tataba. And from what I'm reading, the script kept changing so much that others left out of frustration, if they didn't due to solidarity with Nomura.
      The development of this game was just more chaotic than Maxor's editing. His 'as of this post' present editing.
