Biggest sin for me is why noctis has to climb walls and ladders, balance through tight bridges, squeeze through tight walls and crouch into small passages when he can FREAKING TELEPORT!?
because those types of things are used as mini loading screens - without them, we’d have to deal with even LONGER loading screens. and we all know how infuriating THAT was.
Its hard to sell a relationship between Lunafreya and Noctis when a majority of the cast spends more time with him than Luna. Hell we don't even get one scene with the two and the one scene we get Luna dies in it. Pointless.
It's been 4 years and tbh i know he'd sin the fact that Noctis has more chemistry with Sarah in that 30 minute Terra Battle 2 crossover than with Lunafreya throughout the entire game
As that line was playing, I was thinking - "you remove a sin without a word, or you are mad" ... and he did :) there is no explanation needed. Hands down the most badass line of Noctis in this game, mostly because the King / Jester suggestion is super fitting.
@alessio tiscali With the perfect weapon and two good accessories added from the menu, my Ignis was always the one that didn't need potions. It matters on how you build these characters. Therefore, it's your fault.
@alessio tiscali Guy is the only cook you have in the party. But sure, why not call the badass fighter-chef a loser? Not like he can't let you starve to death. (Adds sin)
Just a note: The daemons weren't attacking the truck at the end because of the headlights. Remember that wonderful little quest? Cindy said she would mass -produce them to keep people safe.
Still kind of a plot hole if you didn't complete that quest. Because that was optional, and if I'm not mistaken those headlights would have been practically impossible to get to after Noctis disappeared.
@@SigmaSyndicate maybe she created the item from scratch? Or even reverse-engineered it? I mean, this is Final Fantasy we're talking about. There's at least one genius who can magically invent new things on the fly
@@SigmaSyndicate those lights have already been invented. We can see them being used at gas stations. That's why the daemons never come close to those areas and are considered a safe place, until the daemons outnumbered the people and destroyed the lights during that timeskip.
theelitemihi true, that part was actually quite well done and made me actually question reality. when ardyn said "dude" I just thought at first that he was messing with noctis but when I actually heard promto utter a completely grammatically correct sentence I knew something was up.
Dunno if it's been pointed out, but the daemons don't attack the truck because they have these special headlights that keep daemons away. Still a sin tho *ding*
Especially if you consider the fact that Cindy said that the headlights are extremely rare as they were made from Crown City, which is now destroyed. Even when you had to get them, you had to go through a level 45 sewer, and I highly doubt anyone can/will risk their lives going out and searching for them, possibly in a dungeon thats too strong for them
My suggestion is that the demons are getting stronger and stronger at this point in the story so they CAN come out during the day (wasn´t it because they were in the tunnel before. I might fought them during day in one of the tunnels in Duscae)
Luna Maria Hawke I think it was because the amount of daylight they got as the story progressed was becoming shorter, so daemons were out more because the night lasted longer, but were not necessarily stronger per se.
Anybody would laugh at such a brown game and a Dante that looks like David Boreanaz, a pseudo-badass Nero plus a Scooby-Gang. Thank God for Ninja Theory's DmC being the best game of the saga with its style, gameplay and colours.
@@Changetheling I share your sentiments on style the combat is third best in the series, however 3 and 5 justbhave better boss fights and story for my tastes
Ok so this is an interesting FACT about SIN 7 at 1:30 in the video about the relationship between Noctis and his dad, apparently in order to find out about their relationship you had to play Nier Automata, i am not kidding about this. In Nier Automata there is a weapon called the Engine Blade which is a crossover weapon King Regis used and as you level up the sword it tells you the reason why Noctis and his father are so distant. This is honestly one of my favorite plot holes of FF15 and you had to play an entirely different game in order to figure out why Noctis and his father weren't on such good terms. Doesn't that piss you off in a way?! You had to play two separate games and look for a secret crossover weapon in order to figure out one of the first plot holes in the video game that was never answered in the main game, the anime, the demos or the DLC. I honestly laughed when playing Nier and found this weapon by chance knowing anyone who doens't play this game will never know the reason why Noctis and his father had suck a rocky relationship XD
@DOAMA I've always felt like Nier automata was similar to FF15 specially when talking to people or picking items or subtitles. The open world is also similar and the dialogues too. But let's be honest Automata is just great game and had amazing music, I still get goosebumps when hearing it.
@@Nour-hh7ok And now the circle is being completed with FFXIV. Not only was there a FFXV crossover, but now a major raid series is literally Neir: Automata. Well, will be. Written by the mad lad himself, no less. Good gods this is going to be insane.
@Kasey Lawrence Basically Noct wanted to spend time with dad but knew he was busy helping the people and the land, and Regis wanted to be with his family and hug his kiddo but the people and state needed him. They had an awkward dinner, and they never expressed their feelings leading to the awkwardness and distant feelings of them feeling like the other was not interested in picking it back up...sorta..this is a link to a video with the story piece. ua-cam.com/video/EzjK4Y2Dxko/v-deo.html
"Dude are you seriously trying to kill me?" was Prompto not Ardyn, it's just he saw Prompto as Ardyn. You could have added a sin, by saying the game only explains this to you through a loading screen, that isn't always 100% of the time popping up
I mean, game sorta implies it by the final scene of the chapter, where Noct pushes Prompto off the train, thinking it was Ardyn. That, and "Prompto" who helps you with train defense is acting strangely, walking differently, saying lines with incredible chill, something that doesn't fit his energetic character. Subtle, yet it should raise a flag or two.
"Hey, you remember that weird dog that always kept..." "The dog is magic." "Okay, then how is the dog magic? And how does..." "Everything that doesn't make sense to you, is magic. It doesn't need to make sense."
This game was the first FF game i ever played and it did a good job getting me into the series. But i don't like that you don't gather all of the royal arms as part of the story.
They Should Have make that If You cant do that "side Quest" and collect all you dont get The "Best" ending, Should Have at least 3 endings, depending on side Missions and other things to be "The Best" or "The Worst" Rushing would make The bad ending
Soo, not that it matters, cus this is still an amazing video, but Ardyns plan is basically My brother fucked me over, ruined my endless life, and demonized me in history. I'm going to fuck up his descendant, who's powered up by his precious crystal, and end his blood-line, because fuck him, and fuck the world who turned on me. Pretty refreshing to see a FF villain that doesn't try to justify his evil with inane pseudo-philosophical bullshit.
Um, Ardyn is in NO WAY Regis' brother. He's an ANCESTOR of the Caelum Line, yes, but he "lived" hundreds if not thousands of years ago. But he IS basically motivated by "I tried to help the world, sacrificed my humanity to do it, and yet they turned on me, so lets see how they like it when I'm actually trying to fuck them over.2
Dapper Changeling In the end I think Ardyn really did win. he got his revenge, and got death, which is something he has desperately wanted over the last couple thousand years
In the end yes he won he wanted to end both luna and noctis bloodline checked killed alot of people for MANY YEARS check destroyed a powerful empire by his own check got his death that he wanted in the end check i think ifrit also died by shiva check and the deamons perished once again check in the writing stories of the game they say that ardyn was influenced by ifrit will and that IFRIT CREATED the daemons but they never explained ifrit in the game and he didnt even talk i mean that WAS A HUGE PLOT HOLE
Hey, I don't know if you just ignored it, but that entire train scene with Ardyn was also amazing when you realize that fact that it was Prompto the entire time. Normally games just cause illusions just for the player, but in this sequence the first time around it looks like Ardyn is just acting really weird, but then you realize he's acting like Prompto because he IS prompto. Figuring that out made the scene so much more cool, since it shows the developers weren't going to jeopardize continuity of how characters act, just to fool the player, and somehow still fool the player.
29:50 Missing Sin Insert: "For a game that promoted itself so heavily on the virtues of friendship and brotherhood, I can't figure out for the life of me who thought it was a good idea to have the final boss be fought one-on-one without your party members."
I'm only about 4 minutes in, and though I agree all of these things are roughly sins some of them are shoddily explained with plot. The real problem is that they couldn't take the time to actually explain them outright. Like, Umbra is magical so he can travel fast (or so we are supposed to believe), but they never actually say it or explain why there are magical dogs to begin with. Cid won't give Noctis special treatment because he's old friends with Regis, so I guess he just doesn't view him as some higher person. And regardless of whether they have royal boats, Noctis is pretending to be dead so they can't take a special boat. But where in the game does he ever really try to hide who he is besides not coming right out to tell everyone he meets? Wouldn't everyone just recognize him? Don't they know what their prince looks like?
Mila Абдуллаева Mila Абдуллаева Except.. they do make that clear. If you read Umbra and Pryna’s bio in the documents portion of the menu it says they are divine messengers in the exact same way Gentiana and Carbuncle are. They allude to the fact that they are both “shape shifters” with the lines “divine messenger who assumes the form of a black(white), male(female) dog”. I get the video and people in the comments are taking a piss at the story for fun and laughs but most of the complaints people are taking seriously can be solved with playing/reading the story for full context.
Robbins Pretty sure the documents section wasn’t in the game at launch. I believe they added that like almost a year after the game was already out and everyone had already played through the game.
Ppl outside insomnia wouldn’t know him off the bat like I think due to being locked out and noctis never traveling before now. Newspapers also probably didn’t feature pictures enough to imprint the memory
@@christmassyable Disagree. This is a world where people have cell phones, photo contests, and a war going on. Nilfheim had already shown that they had no problem with propaganda and spies deep within Insomnia. The idea that they wouldn't spread misinformation or at least pay large sums of money for a decent picture of Noctis for news is riduculous.
sofakingimmature not really. If no it’s was as absent as I think he was it’s possible. The Nifs wouldn’t need a picture of noctis considering he visited Luna regularly until the war started. Media showed they really weren’t concerned with the public except to make sure they showed they were still in power. Radio was clearly the main way ppl got the news outside of the crown city. They clearly weren’t as advanced as the crown city. Noctis n everyone made this clear when they would comment on how neglected the citizens were once the wall went up
Thats what i thought as well but it was done in a very sloppy fashion. I mean to the point you really had to reach to make that conclusion despite it being the most logical one. I was wondering the same thing to but again it was done so poorly it was hard to tell
but why make movie when two of characters never interact with Noctis, but game does it as well so many appearance of people that never come back or there for no rhyme or reason.
kyotheman69 because he died Tryna stop the onslaught on the city .. how the fuck you gonna meet noctis when the kings take your life at sunrise .. smh it's very easy to comprehend LMAO
"Who in their right mind sends the prince away from the crow city during war time with only his three friends and a convertible to meet his bride in what is enemy territory?" Well Regis knew (thanks to the Crystal/Bahamut) that the Empire was going to attack during the peace signing, Bahamut showed the future (Omen trailer) where Noctis would fail in saving the world, due to having stayed in the Crown city. Instead in order for Noctis to succeed (the most favorable future) would be achieved by sending Noctis away during the attack on Insomnia. Forcing Noctis to push forward and with his friends (unlike the alternate history where he would have fought again the Empire in Insomnia, barely made it out alive and went to find Luna all on his own, eventually failing)
They did lol! He does have some of the old moves.. I was a little disappointed that he wasn't fully a dragon.. Forgiven though for the most interesting story in a long time.
I think originally, in the war of Astrals, he was a complete dragon, but then fused with one of the king of Lucis. On the Ravatogh, where he killed Ifrit, you can find dragon scales, which are of "the greatest dragon". Which dragon is bigger than Bahamut?
Brilliant video! I would have put the following too: - Luna spent 10 minutes talking crap when she could have healed herself and slap Noctis in the face to wake him up. - Speaking of Luna, she not only looks different from the movie (thank god), but is also voiced by a different person. Might as well just be a totally different character! - Aranea totally resembles Lightning (Equilibrium/Dark Knight garbs). Just shows how much Tetsuya Nomura really liked the character… - And as for Ravus’ “transformation” at the end… Doesn’t he look sort of like a Cie’th? Hmm… - The game finishes 20 minutes after the 10 year lapse. Rushed much? - And lastly: if Noct has all the royal arms, where did Arden get his?
There are plenty of times in this game that you could tell it was originally in the 13 saga. Even bahamut looks like a fal'Cie. There also plenty of times where you could tell they cut off from the 13 days completely.
Dane DeMuth I really don't mind product placement in games as long as it isn't too intrusive. Though I couldn't stop laughing during that cup noodles side mission
jsegaul420 Exactly my point lol. Sometimes as shitty as product ads can* be ... I feel this one used it to make a laugh, total 180 vs my typical sigh haha.
I almost cried because this scene was so embarrassing. Though, food is used as a metaphor for something different, and using some unknown food simply wouldn't have worked. So I can understand why they did what they did, for once, product placement made sense in the context of the story.
Lia W not really that's like him taking all those wounds and summing it up to the comparison of a cup of noodles and I want to know how to make it the way they did with all the additional stuff lmao
11:42 this is the main problem with the plot of this game. Gentiana could have give the ring to noctis from the very beginning of the game and luna could have joined the team at any moment
RuneKatashima the truth is the game gave no explanation. We just try to find theories to justify the flaws of the plot. Even if dlc provides explanations, it is the job of the game to provide enough informations to allow us to understand
Luna has to give him the ring, there was a reaon for it, Final Fanatsy Peasant explained pretty much EVERYTHING about the game, I think he also mentioned that I just don't exactly remember. Maybe look it up
Biggs and Wedge are almost as big a staple in the series as Cid, being in (or at least referenced in) almost every game. They were going to be in there somewhere.
Are there Star Wars characters with those names? I had no idea, not a big SW fan. They've been common names in the Final Fantasy franchise since the SNES days so it depends on if the SW characters were from the original trilogy or later movies as to who may be paying homage to who.
Theyre from the original trilogy, they were pilots in the last movie I think. I imagine whoever originally put them into FF had recently seen Star Wars and loved it and they just became recurring characters from there.
I know this is a really old comment but anyway, I agree that version of Stand By Me is my all time favourite. Honestly the opening with them pushing the Regalia to it cost me 3 weeks of gaming time, and a lot of crying at the end...but Prompto still owes him 50Gil.
"We have a means to time travel. Let's go back to when we actually could fight things!" - FFXV "We have a means to time travel. Let's guarantee this global apocalypse never happens." - Any rational person
If the writer is aware of his lack of talent, then time travel (and death manipulation) should not even be considered. But hell, if even JK Rowling tried her luck, then anything goes.
The reason why people like Cid at least didn't kowtow to Noctis and co. like you expected him to is because he used to fight alongside his father. He's a personal friend of the royal family, so of course his personality around him would be more familiar than deferential. He's like Noctis' war veteran play-uncle.
Even still, it is odd how barely anyone, that doesn't have some connection to Noctis' group, act like how someone normally would around a prince. They all seem to just ignore your presence, as if it's a common occurrence to see the crown prince walking in the wild. Seriously, at the beginning their car breaks down and NO ONE decides to help them. You even see someone just drive past them.
greYelABLE Wouldn't journalists at least keep their eyes on what royalty does? I'm pretty sure that the day Noctis was born would have been front line news, and since reporters are always keen on reporting anything about people in important positions, like the presidential race or especially when royalty gets engaged, I'm pretty sure that people outside of Insomnia would have learned about him. Hell they clearly have internet since the main cast seems to have downloadable games like "King's Knight," so wouldn't a picture of him exist on the internet? Also, that last part about him not recognizing the enemy Chancellor can be extended to the rest of the group, especially Ignis, since he seems to be the smart person of the group.
greYelABLE Which still confuses me because usually any reporter would jump at the chance to interview royalty. That's like one of the biggest accomplishments for a reporter. I pretty sure not every reporter would do this, but two apparently big names like Dino and Vyv couldn't give two fucks? Still confuses me. This could have easily been done offscreen. And it's also especially weird that Gladio, whose family has been described as the King's shields, would not know who the enemy is. Did Regis just forget that spies were a thing? Well he must have because he recognized Ardyn, yet didn't tell that to one of Noctis' bodyguards? This story is just so confusing. I think it could have benefited with another delay to iron out oversights like this.
greYelABLE I have heard about those updates and DLC, but I hate it when companies do things like this. They're basically saying "Were you expecting a COMPLETED game when you bought it? Well fuck you give me money." Granted it's not the worst that I have seen *Looks at EA's Star Wars Battlefront* but I still hate it all the same.
I felt like the whole game was an attempt an practice at FF7, specific scenes, character models... Almost like SE went oh crap, we can't wait any longer for this game. Slap like 2 hours of cut scenes and make a super open world that is basically a waste of time because no one has any idea why you really went there to begin with, other than you needed a power up, which the girl gives you... man i wanted a healer on my team all fucking game...
wait Kingsglaive has only 13% ??? It was a pretty decent action flick, with possibly the best graphics out there. Did some shit not make sense? Sure. The same could be said for Star Wars, and a thousand other highly regarded movies/
Nathan Pickering Exactly the user reviews are always far more accurate. Just check on Metacritic for example. The user score is far closer to the objective truth about how good/bad the movie was
***** I understand why SE has done it this way with FF XV. They didn't want their story to be told in game format only. They wanted to open it to other audiences aside from gamers by making a short anime for it and a movie. It also makes sense because there is no way to tell such a massive story with just one game when it already took so long to develop and create so many things from scratch. Like how would you have told the relations and backstory of all those characters that we learned about through the anime "Brotherhood"? How would you have implemented that into the game so that it made sense? I mean even with all this there STILL are holes in the story. It just seems to me that this is a kind of story that would've deserved two full games.
+lightsidemaster but doing that pisses off your player base, I hate going other sources to find out more about the game fuck them doing that, its same shit Bungiee and Activison did with original Destiny
ardyn wanted to die... if he wanted, he could have killed noctis whenever he wants... he knows wherever noctis went he helped noctis finished a lot of quest he saved prompto from dying in the snow he led noctis to the crystal, so noctis can get the power to kill him he hated imsonia which denied his right to be king he destroyed it's as chancellor... so he settled the scores so now he just need noctis witht he crystal's power to kill him (and ends his suffering) but noctis won't be able to get the power, unless the gods want him to so he did the whole daemon things, and corrupted the ifrit (also to settle a score probably) and gave the gods a reason to want him dead
@@ItzJamm_ First off, he wanted heal the people infected by the plague, but then he ended up himself infected. With his mind poisoned by the daemons, he sought revenge, but just because he was poisoned, the "real" Ardyn never searched for such a thing.
A problem that I have with this game is the relationship between Noctis and Luna. They were friends as children and haven't seen each other in over 5 years. They communicate via a journal transported in between them by a dog AND they are engaged?? And they don't talk to each other again until right before Luna dies.
@@gdragonismygod Maybe...but I thought Ignis best boy was universally recognized at this point? Would seem that's a positive point, not a negative one. Of all the bros, each of which would probably be a good friend in their own right (except just after Luna died, at least), Ignis is a true pal.
Look at it this way you cant hope that one character that is also in my opinion the best hold up the story the cast and basicly everything sinned about the game. No matter how good a character is it can be described as a chain, a chain is as good as its weakest link, one break and thats it you have a broken chain
I have never seen a game where the focus testing and trend chasing has been more obvious. I enjoyed it, but there's no way this was anyone's initial vision for this entry.
Can anyone explain to me why chapter 13 is so hated? Noctis is stupidly overpowered and the length is just right to drive the point home how despite being so strong with the ring that he can literally banish any foe from existance instantly, he is completely falling apart without his friends. I get that the stealth segments were weird and annoying, but you could just ignore them in favor of killing everything in your way instead, so whatever.
+HaichaoTeaLover I completely agree with you mate it got tedious after a while with how long the level was but all it really needed was maybe pacing fixes and another cut scene Here and there (like when you find ravus a cutscene plays showing what happened)
Btw for the sin in the lestallum power plant, you can add one more sin: If Noctis used a Warp strike when fighting the mobs, "Hunter" Gladio will say that's a fancy move that a certain royal he knows does as well". Yet Noct still only knows it was Gladio after they exited
Yeah it seems you missed the sarcastic tones of their voices like he did in the video, They knew from the start. Even some dialogue in the quest is like "You'd make a really good sparing partner". The surpise at the end was because of Gladio rocking the new scars
The fact that he was able to put this video's length at half an hour while it took 2-3 parts to do FF13 should tell you how long FF15's main story is. Meaning, it's shockingly short considering it's a Final Fantasy title
+Connor Cook I clocked almost 50 hours doing nothing but main quests and leveling in between. I finished Final Fantasy 13 through Lightning Returns at about 30hrs each. Idk what people are doing saying Final Fantasy 13 is long! There hasn't been a FF longer than 30 hours since the 10th installment up until now. If you're going to hate on a game, at least hate on it for the issues it has rather than the issues you've invented.
Actually, I did clock almost 55 hours doing nothing but the main story. scontent-waw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p280x280/15327319_834591260016134_5363387176545146152_n.jpg?oh=f3c2fe5e8dc6bf151e672df45b38cc81&oe=58DD7E69 So... There you have it, ye who read this thinking the game's main storyline is nothing. I'm now about 80 hours in, and I'm still doing the remaining side missions and discovering new things in the game. The people above me are, to put it simply: liars. You have nothing to worry about!
There's two possibility with what you're saying... you're lying or you walked to every location... Cause i finished the game in 45h while doing almost ALL of the sidesquest... took me a total of 60h to complete all the sidequest in the post game (not counting the hunt quest, cause having one at a time is bullshit, didn't care about them) ... And A LOT of people who did only the main quest finished it easily in 15-20 hours... this game is shorter than FF4
One thing that bothers me...Noctis has a magic time traveling dog and never once thought to see his fiancée with it? Seems like a better plan than fighting an Adamantoise...
"Altissa gives me the feeling of Venice, Italy with soldiers that are dressed up like its the French revolution all ran by a Hillary Clinton doppelganger." and "That's not how government works, you allow a god to be summoned and it destroys your city, everyone is going to want answers". XD
The story in this game is good, it just requires you to connect some dots, and there definitely are some blink and you miss it moments in there too. Gotta say though that Ardyn is now my favorite Villian
Well... i like him better than the boss of my favorite ff game (who was pretty much non fucking existent until the final fight and i don't think she had any freakin lines whatsoever) but sepiroth is cooler (at least in premise)
Do a play through in japanese... Its much better. Personally the english voice acting was... distractingly horrible. Also, after watching kingsglaive and Luna and Regis having different voice actors for the game was just cheap. The first half of the game is great. The 2nd half suffers from the same thing ALL final fantasy games do and thats a hyper accelerated story that becomes kind of non sensical towards the end. The bet on you becoming attached to the characters to the point that you will over look the faults and be satisfied with an emotional ending cinematic. Either way... still a great FF game when compared to the rest of the series.
The story is non-sense with way too many plot-holes. Appearently you haven´t seen a good story, if you think that this was good. Not to mention that it is the same formular that was already used in final fantasy type-0.
I must say that I wholeheartly agree with you on Ardyn and the story. I think they were rushed but it's still very good. And in the end, Ardyn gets what he wanted.
22:27 MAYBE i could imagine Kefka saying that. But Garland, emperor mateus, exdeath, zemus, golbez, sephiroth, proffesor hojo, genesis rhapsodos, kuja, seymour guldo, yu yevon, shuyin, the shadow lord, vayne solidor, barthandelous, caius ballad, nael van dernus and lahabrea? No, i don't think so Ps: also, is not Ardyn the one saying that. Is prompto since Ardyn did the disguise thing
I get the joke, but I guess since Titan has been in the FF franchise way before Attack on Titan came out, it's a bit weak. It's like how some people compare the mecha in this to Metal Gear, but Magi-Tech has been in FF for a long time also. People just don't seem to be aware of how old FF is it seems.
THE ENDING EVERY FUCKING THING ABOUT THE ENDING IS A SIN NOCTIS DESERVED BETTER Also "Dude are you seriously trying to kill me" And the kid who told noctis about flowers was smeagol
Noctis death... was main goal of Ardyn... so yeah, bad guy won and the game still celebrates it as a victory, not to mention that Noctis journey of becomming a king turned out to be totally pointless.
Ah yes the ending. Nearly the whole cast dies,with at last 1 person being MIA(poor Aranea,you deserved to be in a better entry). Magic is gone. Monsters are still roaming the world. The year long darkness probably screwed over the eco-system to the point it cant rehabilitate. Also lets not forget that 99% of humanity is dead with the few remaining survivors being huddled together in a small city,thats probably able to house a few hundred at most,right next to a reactor that already nearly blew up at least one time. Bu hey,guess all is well as long as the sun goes up again...the game´s story is such a mess.
Am I one of the only people who genuinely liked the ending? Depressing as it was I thought it truly fit, it was satisfactorily unsatisfactory. The Oracle and King were never meant to last. "Moon" (Lunafreya) and "Night" (Noctis) must sleep in order for dawn to come. Somnus (the name of the theme song) = sleep, the last quest, A Cure For Insomnia, ends in sleep, it all comes back around. They are finally together, they finally have their wedding, he is fjnally worthy of sitting on the throne as king even though it happens in the afterlife.
Some people dont like subtitles as you are reading the subtitles at bottom of the screen therfore missing a portion of what is happening on screen, personally im one of the sane people but just thought id mention other peoples point of view
@@Brandon25043 Well, I'm hard of hearing and I'd rather have some fancy subtitles down there that tell me what's going on. If you have good ears and don't need them, good for you though. :0
It's the principle of the thing. You shouldn't HAVE to turn on the subtitles. The subtitles are for the hard of hearing and those that have a preference. It should never be a necessity.
@@Brandon25043 well u can't miss whats happening whilst reading the screen it's still in view u can only mise it if you're an owl cos there eyes are on the side XD
Did no one else fucking notice noctis changes his clothes from the time in the throne room to the final fight? I mean its obvious and it bugged the fuck out of me...
Thats what i thought too but watch the video right before the Ardyn fight happens. he still has the mantle. He at least has it right outside the door when he's asking for the picture.
Angry Joe Hey Angry please make a detailed review of FF XV!! The plot of this game was completely rushed and made no sense, we need your very ANGRY review about it 😉
"How come those demons aren't attacking the truck?" It has demon-repellent headlights... ...I'm freaking serious. PS: You can get them as reward for completing all of Cindy's side-quests, so you can drive at night too.
28:38 He would have worn them to rest after they were made 21:07 why was ignis being good a sin ? Also cindy isn't JUST fan service She's also a plot point
It looks as SquareEnix focused more FFXV Side Quests which makes the game long, But the Storyline is too short which is disappointing, their's no depth to the story like FFX. Maybe they are savouring it for the coming DLC's. FFXV shows that there still missing pieces to the story, other wise most people would not be questioning about what happened and rant. Their is a missing link to the story that's why I gave the Storyline 8.0/10. I'm looking forward to the upcoming DLC's to focus more on the Storyline. Too many plot holes. My Final Fantasy XV Rating: Storyline - 8.0/10 Characters - 9.0/10 Battle System - 10/10 Environment - 10/10 My Overall Rating - 8.5/10
I'm not sure about environment. the RandD engineer said you would be able to traverse everywhere and get over obstacles, but I can't scale or climb mountains, and small bodies of water act more as obstacles that are in the way. All the locations of the Eos world map ought to be connected into one like in VII. The map can be revealed bit by bit with each chapter you complete.
Most of the story is the background, like in that book about the gods and their involvement with the kings, but doing it that way pretty well divorces any emotional impact.
OmegaCC88: Battle system 10/10? XIII's crystarium was deeper than this. This is seriously the only FF to date whose battle system I'd label as bad. Obvious beta is obvious.
I'd use a more fair scale of rating. Story: 6/10 (Any decent RPG has better story than this. For starter, Tos series) Character: 7/10 (All of them aside from Prompto are flat characters with no development. Npcs are boring as hell) Battle System: 8/10 (Not bad, but quite repetitive, and the AI of comrades is bad and you can't do anything about it) Environment: 8/10 (There's ONE outstanding town and that's it. The lack of town variety is almost a sin for a RPG. Some of the optional dungeons are cool though) Side-quests: 4/10 (Worst part of the game... No need for me to explain anymore) Music: 10/10 (Best part of the game by far) Overall rating: 7.1/10
The story was easily the weakest part of the game. Final Fantasy games have always had big and sometimes confusing plots etc, but FF15 just didn't seem to have much in the way of a fleshed out story at all. Just bits and pieces of a broken up plot put together in a blender.
Prompto wasnt vague in the japanese script. This game had major translation issues especially with him. In japanese he literally said 'nifelheimjin desu' which literally translates to 'im (a person from) nifelheim'
i just finished this game, i fell in love with the story and growing with the main characters...i cried when ignis lost his eye sight.. i worried that pronto was gonna become a daemon when he was knocked off the train..a lot of the game i felt attached to when i was playing it.
I know that this game has wild flaws and I point them out myself but damn if I'm not emotionally attached to it and its main cast, I love this game to bits.
I am surprised you didn't talk about how can Ardyn use the 13 royals arms even if the kings that owned the weapons were born after him? Did he also go on a roadtrip to get all of them?
I noticed that about Iris - she's hitting on him! XD "They say the view from here is REALLY PRETTY at night," big smile. She wants Noctis to say, "Oooo, we should come back at night." Ha ha ha.
The key difference Ardyn has with Kefka is that the latter is an insane and cackling harlequin whose maniacal villainy was a symptom of his deep-seated nihilism, while the former is a composed and calculating schemer who hides the smoldering rage that really drives him. They also have vastly different dress differences. Just because a Final Fantasy villain has some similar traits doesn’t mean they’re the exact same. For example Ardyn has more in common with Caius from FFXIII-2 since both were good men and saviors to their people in their past, both were chosen by gods to help their people, both became immortal and viewed their existence as a curse, and both sought to destroy the world to be free of their fates and to exact revenge on those they felt wronged them. However you wouldn’t say Caius & Ardyn are the exact same kind of character.
I WAS SO DEVASTATED AND UPSET ABOUT RAVUS!! Like he seemed like a genuine self sacrificing guy who wanted the best for his little sister and was overprotective of her since he knew of her fate, but the game did suuuuch a horrible job of building up his tragedy. I'm really hoping at least HIS story gets patched up. Loved the boss fight (as hard as it was) and his tragedy :( Almost brought me to tears.
Ravus was not a bright guy. If you watch the Kingsglaive movie, his motivation to destroy Insomina is because when the Nifs attacked his own country, Regis didn't save his mother from getting killed and blames him for her death despite the Nifs are why she died and was stabbed by the enemy general.
Biggest sin for me is why noctis has to climb walls and ladders, balance through tight bridges, squeeze through tight walls and crouch into small passages when he can FREAKING TELEPORT!?
Did not think of that :P even when warping is based on where you can throw your weapon.
because those types of things are used as mini loading screens - without them, we’d have to deal with even LONGER loading screens. and we all know how infuriating THAT was.
Because it’s hard to throw a sword ten miles away
Well he can't teleport and phase at the same time smh
I don't think loading screens were the issue. He's just following a path so his friends can follow logically or he'll be leaving them behind.
"Off my chair, Jester. The King sits there."
*silently lowers the sin counter*
Ugh I love that line
With noctis in an Elvis costume lol
This kind of cheesy one liners... It's just like one of my japanese animes!
And no explanation
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I get that reference
Well, it WAS quite a badass line, why would you need explanation for it? It's self explanatory
Its hard to sell a relationship between Lunafreya and Noctis when a majority of the cast spends more time with him than Luna. Hell we don't even get one scene with the two and the one scene we get Luna dies in it. Pointless.
He can add 10 more sins for the cancelled DLC while theres some nitpicking going on
That crossover DLC, Noctis has more chemistry with Sarah.
@Florac Yeah, in her head. Iris is a kid.
Lol I see you everywhere
There are many other awesome characters to ship Noctis with tho. Like Prompto and Sarah XD
It's been 4 years and tbh i know he'd sin the fact that Noctis has more chemistry with Sarah in that 30 minute Terra Battle 2 crossover than with Lunafreya throughout the entire game
OMG THATS SO TRUE🤣
Hell I would have loved that much more interesting
Omg in dissidia with lighting
It’s crazy, you never even get to speak with her. I still don’t know why they replaced Stella with her.
V
"Off my chair Jester, the King sits there" *removes sin*
No explanation
Loved that line :) I avoided spoilers when i played.. Awesome and dark scene.
As that line was playing, I was thinking - "you remove a sin without a word, or you are mad" ... and he did :) there is no explanation needed. Hands down the most badass line of Noctis in this game, mostly because the King / Jester suggestion is super fitting.
From an annoying teen prince to a fucking badass king...there are many flaws to this game but Noct's journey ended up impressively.
Easily my favorite line in the game, I still am trying to figure this games plot out but I still couldn’t help but love that line
Sin counter: 212
Achievement: THATS IT! Ive come up with a new recipe!
Perfect
lmao
This might be a good spot to find some ingredients
Zack Ludwig .....now i fancy duck spring rolls XD
I can taste test for ya.
"Off my chair jester, the king sits there." That's what being a badass looks like.
"Can I just say how awesome Ignis is in this game?"
Adds a sin
To like cooking + british wannabe, this combination deserves a sin (also the ridiculous hair, but that goes without saying)
@alessio tiscali With the perfect weapon and two good accessories added from the menu, my Ignis was always the one that didn't need potions. It matters on how you build these characters. Therefore, it's your fault.
@alessio tiscali Guy is the only cook you have in the party. But sure, why not call the badass fighter-chef a loser? Not like he can't let you starve to death.
(Adds sin)
@@RRRRRRRRR33 play it in the original voice which is Japanese, he doesn't act and trying to be like a british man tf

Just a note: The daemons weren't attacking the truck at the end because of the headlights. Remember that wonderful little quest? Cindy said she would mass -produce them to keep people safe.
Still kind of a plot hole if you didn't complete that quest. Because that was optional, and if I'm not mistaken those headlights would have been practically impossible to get to after Noctis disappeared.
@@SigmaSyndicate maybe she created the item from scratch? Or even reverse-engineered it? I mean, this is Final Fantasy we're talking about. There's at least one genius who can magically invent new things on the fly
@@SigmaSyndicate those lights have already been invented. We can see them being used at gas stations. That's why the daemons never come close to those areas and are considered a safe place, until the daemons outnumbered the people and destroyed the lights during that timeskip.
That's what u said
@@SigmaSyndicate yes but optimal or not your supposed to do side quest its a video game not a movie
Pretty sure when Ardyn said "Dude", it was just Prompto as an illusion
BlackSilhouette my b
theelitemihi true, that part was actually quite well done and made me actually question reality. when ardyn said "dude" I just thought at first that he was messing with noctis but when I actually heard promto utter a completely grammatically correct sentence I knew something was up.
During that whole scene all I could think was "Ardyn can cast illusions, because reasons."
Cillranchello once you pull the immortal card basically anything becomes possible
Yeah, it was an illusion. Why else would he say "Dude! Are you seriously trying to kill me?!" that definitely sounds like Prompto to me.
Wanting to see why ignis goes blind "theyre probably saving it for the dlc"
Ohhhh how right you were
At least is was very fun to play with some great music.
"This is like a fly parrying a flyswatter."
I would shit bricks if a fly parried my swatter.

Fly:"Prepare for your last moments"
Earth bound
Dunno if it's been pointed out, but the daemons don't attack the truck because they have these special headlights that keep daemons away. Still a sin tho *ding*
Especially if you consider the fact that Cindy said that the headlights are extremely rare as they were made from Crown City, which is now destroyed. Even when you had to get them, you had to go through a level 45 sewer, and I highly doubt anyone can/will risk their lives going out and searching for them, possibly in a dungeon thats too strong for them
Depends if there are even any headlights left, considering Insomnia is in ruins
My suggestion is that the demons are getting stronger and stronger at this point in the story so they CAN come out during the day (wasn´t it because they were in the tunnel before. I might fought them during day in one of the tunnels in Duscae)
Luna Maria Hawke I think it was because the amount of daylight they got as the story progressed was becoming shorter, so daemons were out more because the night lasted longer, but were not necessarily stronger per se.
you didnt even mention anything about the cup noodles
why would that be a sin tho thats the best part
Please, never...every bring that up

@@Changetheling I share your sentiments on style the combat is third best in the series, however 3 and 5 justbhave better boss fights and story for my tastes
@@Changetheling you're trolling, right?
Ok so this is an interesting FACT about SIN 7 at 1:30 in the video about the relationship between Noctis and his dad, apparently in order to find out about their relationship you had to play Nier Automata, i am not kidding about this. In Nier Automata there is a weapon called the Engine Blade which is a crossover weapon King Regis used and as you level up the sword it tells you the reason why Noctis and his father are so distant. This is honestly one of my favorite plot holes of FF15 and you had to play an entirely different game in order to figure out why Noctis and his father weren't on such good terms. Doesn't that piss you off in a way?! You had to play two separate games and look for a secret crossover weapon in order to figure out one of the first plot holes in the video game that was never answered in the main game, the anime, the demos or the DLC. I honestly laughed when playing Nier and found this weapon by chance knowing anyone who doens't play this game will never know the reason why Noctis and his father had suck a rocky relationship XD
I might just buy nier for that reason alone.
@DOAMA I've always felt like Nier automata was similar to FF15 specially when talking to people or picking items or subtitles. The open world is also similar and the dialogues too. But let's be honest Automata is just great game and had amazing music, I still get goosebumps when hearing it.
@@Nour-hh7ok And now the circle is being completed with FFXIV.
Not only was there a FFXV crossover, but now a major raid series is literally Neir: Automata. Well, will be. Written by the mad lad himself, no less.
Good gods this is going to be insane.
@Kasey Lawrence Basically Noct wanted to spend time with dad but knew he was busy helping the people and the land, and Regis wanted to be with his family and hug his kiddo but the people and state needed him. They had an awkward dinner, and they never expressed their feelings leading to the awkwardness and distant feelings of them feeling like the other was not interested in picking it back up...sorta..this is a link to a video with the story piece. ua-cam.com/video/EzjK4Y2Dxko/v-deo.html
@@orangewallet56 bruh nier will punch you in the stomch and laugh at you
"Dude are you seriously trying to kill me?" was Prompto not Ardyn, it's just he saw Prompto as Ardyn. You could have added a sin, by saying the game only explains this to you through a loading screen, that isn't always 100% of the time popping up
If you think of that scene as Prompto, it fits him perfectly
k that makes sense now. :)
miss gamer girl19 wtf does that have to do with anything
Why does the game need to explain something so obvious?
I mean, game sorta implies it by the final scene of the chapter, where Noct pushes Prompto off the train, thinking it was Ardyn. That, and "Prompto" who helps you with train defense is acting strangely, walking differently, saying lines with incredible chill, something that doesn't fit his energetic character. Subtle, yet it should raise a flag or two.
You can't sin something that's explained in the next scene. The dog is magic xD
He sinned a lot of stuff that was explained a minute later. And some stuff that was explained later in the game.
Yep to much sinned that is actually explained by the game itself lol.
Have to agree.
"Hey, you remember that weird dog that always kept..."
"The dog is magic."
"Okay, then how is the dog magic? And how does..."
"Everything that doesn't make sense to you, is magic. It doesn't need to make sense."
Here, allow me.
"Magical dog is magical. >ding!
"you just got Aerithed" im not sure wether to laugh or cry about that

FulltimeGames WTF Du hier ?
FulltimeGames I also love the fact that Ignis can still fight even while blind
18:47
there's no blood on the knife
This game was the first FF game i ever played and it did a good job getting me into the series. But i don't like that you don't gather all of the royal arms as part of the story.
Same
Meh it gave you incentive to look beyond the story
same it makes no sense tbh
They Should Have make that If You cant do that "side Quest" and collect all you dont get The "Best" ending, Should Have at least 3 endings, depending on side Missions and other things to be "The Best" or "The Worst"
Rushing would make The bad ending
Soo, not that it matters, cus this is still an amazing video, but Ardyns plan is basically
My brother fucked me over, ruined my endless life, and demonized me in history. I'm going to fuck up his descendant, who's powered up by his precious crystal, and end his blood-line, because fuck him, and fuck the world who turned on me.
Pretty refreshing to see a FF villain that doesn't try to justify his evil with inane pseudo-philosophical bullshit.
Um, Ardyn is in NO WAY Regis' brother. He's an ANCESTOR of the Caelum Line, yes, but he "lived" hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
But he IS basically motivated by "I tried to help the world, sacrificed my humanity to do it, and yet they turned on me, so lets see how they like it when I'm actually trying to fuck them over.2
Dapper Changeling In the end I think Ardyn really did win. he got his revenge, and got death, which is something he has desperately wanted over the last couple thousand years
Son more meaning decendant here. My bad.
In the end yes he won
he wanted to end both luna and noctis bloodline
checked
killed alot of people for MANY YEARS check
destroyed a powerful empire by his own
check
got his death that he wanted in the end
check
i think ifrit also died by shiva
check
and the deamons perished once again
check
in the writing stories of the game
they say that ardyn was influenced by ifrit will
and that IFRIT CREATED the daemons
but they never explained ifrit in the game and he didnt even talk i mean
that WAS A HUGE PLOT HOLE
@Dapper
first of all - take a look at your world map :P, then try to think about who Aydyn is again.
I wanna see a everything wrong with the episodes of gladio, ignis, and prompto
Hey, I don't know if you just ignored it, but that entire train scene with Ardyn was also amazing when you realize that fact that it was Prompto the entire time.
Normally games just cause illusions just for the player, but in this sequence the first time around it looks like Ardyn is just acting really weird, but then you realize he's acting like Prompto because he IS prompto.
Figuring that out made the scene so much more cool, since it shows the developers weren't going to jeopardize continuity of how characters act, just to fool the player, and somehow still fool the player.
Oh. My. God.
I can't believe I just understood now because of your comment (sorry for 4year reply btw)

29:50 Missing Sin Insert: "For a game that promoted itself so heavily on the virtues of friendship and brotherhood, I can't figure out for the life of me who thought it was a good idea to have the final boss be fought one-on-one without your party members."
I'm only about 4 minutes in, and though I agree all of these things are roughly sins some of them are shoddily explained with plot. The real problem is that they couldn't take the time to actually explain them outright. Like, Umbra is magical so he can travel fast (or so we are supposed to believe), but they never actually say it or explain why there are magical dogs to begin with. Cid won't give Noctis special treatment because he's old friends with Regis, so I guess he just doesn't view him as some higher person. And regardless of whether they have royal boats, Noctis is pretending to be dead so they can't take a special boat. But where in the game does he ever really try to hide who he is besides not coming right out to tell everyone he meets? Wouldn't everyone just recognize him? Don't they know what their prince looks like?
Mila Абдуллаева Mila Абдуллаева Except.. they do make that clear. If you read Umbra and Pryna’s bio in the documents portion of the menu it says they are divine messengers in the exact same way Gentiana and Carbuncle are. They allude to the fact that they are both “shape shifters” with the lines “divine messenger who assumes the form of a black(white), male(female) dog”.
I get the video and people in the comments are taking a piss at the story for fun and laughs but most of the complaints people are taking seriously can be solved with playing/reading the story for full context.
Robbins Pretty sure the documents section wasn’t in the game at launch. I believe they added that like almost a year after the game was already out and everyone had already played through the game.
Ppl outside insomnia wouldn’t know him off the bat like I think due to being locked out and noctis never traveling before now. Newspapers also probably didn’t feature pictures enough to imprint the memory
@@christmassyable Disagree. This is a world where people have cell phones, photo contests, and a war going on. Nilfheim had already shown that they had no problem with propaganda and spies deep within Insomnia. The idea that they wouldn't spread misinformation or at least pay large sums of money for a decent picture of Noctis for news is riduculous.
sofakingimmature not really. If no it’s was as absent as I think he was it’s possible. The Nifs wouldn’t need a picture of noctis considering he visited Luna regularly until the war started. Media showed they really weren’t concerned with the public except to make sure they showed they were still in power. Radio was clearly the main way ppl got the news outside of the crown city. They clearly weren’t as advanced as the crown city. Noctis n everyone made this clear when they would comment on how neglected the citizens were once the wall went up
is it me or Noctis with the beard looks like Keanu Reeves in Jon Wick
Fábio Morgado 😂
I see it now 😍

Ahahahaha! xD
I see what you did there.
I see some people still watch quality content, Takejiro, ma boi ;) #DBCEMBER
Cindy is 100% fan service, and as a fan, I felt greatly serviced
Dartigan, when noctis fought ARDYN in the train, that's actually prompto, that's why he's so surprised that noctis attack him! It's just an illusion
Thats what i thought as well but it was done in a very sloppy fashion. I mean to the point you really had to reach to make that conclusion despite it being the most logical one. I was wondering the same thing to but again it was done so poorly it was hard to tell
gigaganon "Dude...are you seriously trying to kill me?" suddenly makes SO MUCH sense now.
If you say so random youtube commenter. Good bye now.
I thought that was obvious. Were people actually confused by that? -_-
I thought Ardyn had reached a new level of sarcasm
I...I liked the Kingsglaive movie...
Also to be honest, I took the video with gang after the car got fixed. Loved the video BTW.
I kind of liked the movie too. The beginning though was a bit slow but the rest was pretty good.
but why make movie when two of characters never interact with Noctis, but game does it as well so many appearance of people that never come back or there for no rhyme or reason.
kyotheman69 because he died Tryna stop the onslaught on the city .. how the fuck you gonna meet noctis when the kings take your life at sunrise .. smh it's very easy to comprehend LMAO
They focused way too much on making a franchise instead of an actual good game. A game should not rely on a second medium to tell it's story.
"Who in their right mind sends the prince away from the crow city during war time with only his three friends and a convertible to meet his bride in what is enemy territory?"
Well Regis knew (thanks to the Crystal/Bahamut) that the Empire was going to attack during the peace signing, Bahamut showed the future (Omen trailer) where Noctis would fail in saving the world, due to having stayed in the Crown city.
Instead in order for Noctis to succeed (the most favorable future) would be achieved by sending Noctis away during the attack on Insomnia.
Forcing Noctis to push forward and with his friends (unlike the alternate history where he would have fought again the Empire in Insomnia, barely made it out alive and went to find Luna all on his own, eventually failing)
14:23
vaan, bursting through a door, noticeably disheveled: *_DID YOU SAY AIRSHIP_*
i got a question why didn't they make bahamut look like a dragon he looks like the power rangers mega zord
They did lol! He does have some of the old moves.. I was a little disappointed that he wasn't fully a dragon.. Forgiven though for the most interesting story in a long time.
I think originally, in the war of Astrals, he was a complete dragon, but then fused with one of the king of Lucis. On the Ravatogh, where he killed Ifrit, you can find dragon scales, which are of "the greatest dragon". Which dragon is bigger than Bahamut?
Same reason fake Gilgamesh has only one arm. They threw in random FF names regardless of whether or not it made sense.
Same can be said about the old kings of lucis at no point do you see them wear the armour they have when they are summoned however there it is
They made him look more like a Dragoon than a Dragon. Still works for me.
The "Dude are you seriously trying to kill me?" line is said by Prompto. Its him you were chasing through the train imo.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that the ending didn't explain what happened to everyone else.
The story was like "And we don't know what happened to everyone....but we do know the...uh....Sun rose that day. The end....we think."
And uh, Noctis and Luna get to smooch in death while they look at an Iris pic. The End! Wha...
Because it's called DLC.
Roman Draco I used a picture of one of the guys leg.... Noctis is like "And here....is someone's leg....dammit Prompto."
Heheaha
"She just got aerith-ed."
Should've added 10 points not 1
Best Character in the game: Ignis!
Not very well done characters: Cid, Regis, Lunafreya
His dlc episode had more character than noctis in the whole game
@@fernandosalcedo6968 Ardyns, Prompto, and Ignis' dlc explain more than the game itself
@@fernandosalcedo6968 I think noctis had a great story
Brilliant video!
I would have put the following too:
- Luna spent 10 minutes talking crap when she could have healed herself and slap Noctis in the face to wake him up.
- Speaking of Luna, she not only looks different from the movie (thank god), but is also voiced by a different person. Might as well just be a totally different character!
- Aranea totally resembles Lightning (Equilibrium/Dark Knight garbs). Just shows how much Tetsuya Nomura really liked the character…
- And as for Ravus’ “transformation” at the end… Doesn’t he look sort of like a Cie’th? Hmm…
- The game finishes 20 minutes after the 10 year lapse. Rushed much?
- And lastly: if Noct has all the royal arms, where did Arden get his?
Luna cant heal herself. Only "absorb" the daemons from people.
Tbh. the point where Arden(if thats his english name) got his royal arms, was the only thing that made me mad in ff15.. besides chapter 13.
Noctis only had the known 12 of the total 108 Royal arms.
There are plenty of times in this game that you could tell it was originally in the 13 saga. Even bahamut looks like a fal'Cie. There also plenty of times where you could tell they cut off from the 13 days completely.
yeah the ravus turning into like a cieth is similar to Snow's in lightning returns. i cant stop thinking about that when i saw ravus.
Normally I hate product placement in games... but Coleman def added a certain feel to the game that was good for me haha.
Dane DeMuth I really don't mind product placement in games as long as it isn't too intrusive. Though I couldn't stop laughing during that cup noodles side mission
jsegaul420 Exactly my point lol. Sometimes as shitty as product ads can* be ... I feel this one used it to make a laugh, total 180 vs my typical sigh haha.
jsegaul420 I know I mean I thought it was going to be meaningful but it takes a freaking left turn out of no where lmao
I almost cried because this scene was so embarrassing. Though, food is used as a metaphor for something different, and using some unknown food simply wouldn't have worked. So I can understand why they did what they did, for once, product placement made sense in the context of the story.
Lia W not really that's like him taking all those wounds and summing it up to the comparison of a cup of noodles and I want to know how to make it the way they did with all the additional stuff lmao
"Hillary Clinton Doppelgänger"
I would've said Angela Merkel Doppelgänger, but sure
11:42 this is the main problem with the plot of this game. Gentiana could have give the ring to noctis from the very beginning of the game and luna could have joined the team at any moment
Luna doesn't know where Noctis is. Same other way around.
RuneKatashima but gentiana and umbra do. They can find him at any moment. So giving him the ring should have never been a problem
The ring might not travel with Gentiana because she's clearly teleporting. It's not safe with Umbra as he might get intercepted.
RuneKatashima the truth is the game gave no explanation. We just try to find theories to justify the flaws of the plot. Even if dlc provides explanations, it is the job of the game to provide enough informations to allow us to understand
Luna has to give him the ring, there was a reaon for it, Final Fanatsy Peasant explained pretty much EVERYTHING about the game, I think he also mentioned that I just don't exactly remember. Maybe look it up
really? biggs and wedge? no one else noticed?
Biggs and Wedge are almost as big a staple in the series as Cid, being in (or at least referenced in) almost every game. They were going to be in there somewhere.
Miguel Freitas They're both Star Wars characters right? I was like "the fuck?" when I heard that.
Are there Star Wars characters with those names? I had no idea, not a big SW fan. They've been common names in the Final Fantasy franchise since the SNES days so it depends on if the SW characters were from the original trilogy or later movies as to who may be paying homage to who.
Theyre from the original trilogy, they were pilots in the last movie I think. I imagine whoever originally put them into FF had recently seen Star Wars and loved it and they just became recurring characters from there.
Cool; "the more you know"! ^_^
Here's a thought: why don't noctis just send his sword or dagger with his dog to Luna so he can Warp directly to Luna.
I'm afraid the range of warping is not unlimited.
Yeah the rarest you can go with a esto is if it's a point warp and even those have a limit
You can't count Stand By Me as a sin! Take it back!
Dear lord you can. Get outta my FF game :)
I know this is a really old comment but anyway, I agree that version of Stand By Me is my all time favourite. Honestly the opening with them pushing the Regalia to it cost me 3 weeks of gaming time, and a lot of crying at the end...but Prompto still owes him 50Gil.
You bloody well can...
"You just bill the goverment"
Well well, looks like the table has turned
Astra Dinata how the turns have tabled
"We have a means to time travel. Let's go back to when we actually could fight things!" - FFXV
"We have a means to time travel. Let's guarantee this global apocalypse never happens." - Any rational person
If the writer is aware of his lack of talent, then time travel (and death manipulation) should not even be considered. But hell, if even JK Rowling tried her luck, then anything goes.
It was memory travel, anything "new" that happened was a "memory" that Noctis already had, Umbra just let him go play it out
The reason why people like Cid at least didn't kowtow to Noctis and co. like you expected him to is because he used to fight alongside his father. He's a personal friend of the royal family, so of course his personality around him would be more familiar than deferential. He's like Noctis' war veteran play-uncle.
Even still, it is odd how barely anyone, that doesn't have some connection to Noctis' group, act like how someone normally would around a prince. They all seem to just ignore your presence, as if it's a common occurrence to see the crown prince walking in the wild. Seriously, at the beginning their car breaks down and NO ONE decides to help them. You even see someone just drive past them.
greYelABLE Wouldn't journalists at least keep their eyes on what royalty does? I'm pretty sure that the day Noctis was born would have been front line news, and since reporters are always keen on reporting anything about people in important positions, like the presidential race or especially when royalty gets engaged, I'm pretty sure that people outside of Insomnia would have learned about him. Hell they clearly have internet since the main cast seems to have downloadable games like "King's Knight," so wouldn't a picture of him exist on the internet?
Also, that last part about him not recognizing the enemy Chancellor can be extended to the rest of the group, especially Ignis, since he seems to be the smart person of the group.
greYelABLE Which still confuses me because usually any reporter would jump at the chance to interview royalty. That's like one of the biggest accomplishments for a reporter. I pretty sure not every reporter would do this, but two apparently big names like Dino and Vyv couldn't give two fucks? Still confuses me.
This could have easily been done offscreen. And it's also especially weird that Gladio, whose family has been described as the King's shields, would not know who the enemy is. Did Regis just forget that spies were a thing? Well he must have because he recognized Ardyn, yet didn't tell that to one of Noctis' bodyguards? This story is just so confusing. I think it could have benefited with another delay to iron out oversights like this.
greYelABLE I have heard about those updates and DLC, but I hate it when companies do things like this. They're basically saying "Were you expecting a COMPLETED game when you bought it? Well fuck you give me money." Granted it's not the worst that I have seen *Looks at EA's Star Wars Battlefront* but I still hate it all the same.
I felt like the whole game was an attempt an practice at FF7, specific scenes, character models... Almost like SE went oh crap, we can't wait any longer for this game. Slap like 2 hours of cut scenes and make a super open world that is basically a waste of time because no one has any idea why you really went there to begin with, other than you needed a power up, which the girl gives you... man i wanted a healer on my team all fucking game...
wait Kingsglaive has only 13% ??? It was a pretty decent action flick, with possibly the best graphics out there. Did some shit not make sense? Sure. The same could be said for Star Wars, and a thousand other highly regarded movies/
Thank you!!
ProjectAwesome1 don't listen to dumb reviewers. they never know what they are talking about.
Nathan Pickering
Exactly the user reviews are always far more accurate. Just check on Metacritic for example.
The user score is far closer to the objective truth about how good/bad the movie was
*****
I understand why SE has done it this way with FF XV.
They didn't want their story to be told in game format only.
They wanted to open it to other audiences aside from gamers by making a short anime for it and a movie.
It also makes sense because there is no way to tell such a massive story with just one game when it already took so long to develop and create so many things from scratch.
Like how would you have told the relations and backstory of all those characters that we learned about through the anime "Brotherhood"?
How would you have implemented that into the game so that it made sense?
I mean even with all this there STILL are holes in the story.
It just seems to me that this is a kind of story that would've deserved two full games.
+lightsidemaster but doing that pisses off your player base, I hate going other sources to find out more about the game fuck them doing that, its same shit Bungiee and Activison did with original Destiny
ardyn wanted to die...
if he wanted, he could have killed noctis whenever he wants...
he knows wherever noctis went
he helped noctis finished a lot of quest
he saved prompto from dying in the snow
he led noctis to the crystal, so noctis can get the power to kill him
he hated imsonia which denied his right to be king
he destroyed it's as chancellor... so he settled the scores
so now he just need noctis witht he crystal's power to kill him (and ends his suffering)
but noctis won't be able to get the power, unless the gods want him to
so he did the whole daemon things, and corrupted the ifrit (also to settle a score probably) and gave the gods a reason to want him dead
krisantus liang you are completely wrong....
Brian Wingel no hes not
krisantus liang no, first off he wanted revenge.
@@ItzJamm_ First off, he wanted heal the people infected by the plague, but then he ended up himself infected. With his mind poisoned by the daemons, he sought revenge, but just because he was poisoned, the "real" Ardyn never searched for such a thing.
rG Jamm want to eat those words now that the Ardyn DLC is out
Hilary Clinton doppelgänger 😂😂😂
IAmMarvel1 She seems Angela Lansbury from the series Murder, She Wrote
Me. that's what I thought of her lol.
Reminded me more of Angela Merkel
"The signs are all there..." "You Just Got Aerithed" ok now im crying lol
A problem that I have with this game is the relationship between Noctis and Luna. They were friends as children and haven't seen each other in over 5 years. They communicate via a journal transported in between them by a dog AND they are engaged?? And they don't talk to each other again until right before Luna dies.
Anyone else notice at 20:55 he compliments ignis's character and then adds a sin for it
oh yeah, wtf?? why did Dartigan sin the game after complimenting it???
It's called sarcasm
@@gdragonismygod Maybe...but I thought Ignis best boy was universally recognized at this point? Would seem that's a positive point, not a negative one. Of all the bros, each of which would probably be a good friend in their own right (except just after Luna died, at least), Ignis is a true pal.
Look at it this way you cant hope that one character that is also in my opinion the best hold up the story the cast and basicly everything sinned about the game. No matter how good a character is it can be described as a chain, a chain is as good as its weakest link, one break and thats it you have a broken chain
I have never seen a game where the focus testing and trend chasing has been more obvious. I enjoyed it, but there's no way this was anyone's initial vision for this entry.
silverblade357 especially that f-ing noodle quest wtf
"I enjoyed it." Son, I'm still playing FF7... right now, as I write this.
silverblade357 I still can't believe someone said "yeah, Chapter 13 isn't too long and boring, leave it just the way it is"
Can anyone explain to me why chapter 13 is so hated? Noctis is stupidly overpowered and the length is just right to drive the point home how despite being so strong with the ring that he can literally banish any foe from existance instantly, he is completely falling apart without his friends.
I get that the stealth segments were weird and annoying, but you could just ignore them in favor of killing everything in your way instead, so whatever.
+HaichaoTeaLover I completely agree with you mate
it got tedious after a while with how long the level was but all it really needed was maybe pacing fixes and another cut scene Here and there (like when you find ravus a cutscene plays showing what happened)
the death of lunafreya scene is absolutely beautiful.....too bad we barely knew anything about her so it's unearned.
Btw for the sin in the lestallum power plant, you can add one more sin:
If Noctis used a Warp strike when fighting the mobs, "Hunter" Gladio will say that's a fancy move that a certain royal he knows does as well". Yet Noct still only knows it was Gladio after they exited
nah Noctis was just playing along with the joke, I guess you didn't get that.
Yeah it seems you missed the sarcastic tones of their voices like he did in the video, They knew from the start. Even some dialogue in the quest is like "You'd make a really good sparing partner". The surpise at the end was because of Gladio rocking the new scars
also i did know that is was gladio because of the weapon and his "ability"
The fact that he was able to put this video's length at half an hour while it took 2-3 parts to do FF13 should tell you how long FF15's main story is.
Meaning, it's shockingly short considering it's a Final Fantasy title
thats because it has less sins than FF13
+hitogi06 theres less content to sin because the games like 10 minutes long. atleast 13 took some risks with its length
+Connor Cook
I clocked almost 50 hours doing nothing but main quests and leveling in between.
I finished Final Fantasy 13 through Lightning Returns at about 30hrs each.
Idk what people are doing saying Final Fantasy 13 is long! There hasn't been a FF longer than 30 hours since the 10th installment up until now.
If you're going to hate on a game, at least hate on it for the issues it has rather than the issues you've invented.
Actually, I did clock almost 55 hours doing nothing but the main story.
scontent-waw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p280x280/15327319_834591260016134_5363387176545146152_n.jpg?oh=f3c2fe5e8dc6bf151e672df45b38cc81&oe=58DD7E69
So... There you have it, ye who read this thinking the game's main storyline is nothing. I'm now about 80 hours in, and I'm still doing the remaining side missions and discovering new things in the game.
The people above me are, to put it simply: liars. You have nothing to worry about!
There's two possibility with what you're saying... you're lying or you walked to every location... Cause i finished the game in 45h while doing almost ALL of the sidesquest... took me a total of 60h to complete all the sidequest in the post game (not counting the hunt quest, cause having one at a time is bullshit, didn't care about them) ... And A LOT of people who did only the main quest finished it easily in 15-20 hours... this game is shorter than FF4
One thing that bothers me...Noctis has a magic time traveling dog and never once thought to see his fiancée with it? Seems like a better plan than fighting an Adamantoise...
There should of been like 10 sins for not letting you explore the world of ruin
Agreed. For a homage to FF6, it felt like it was mocking it.
In fairness, Comrades is basically that...kinda
Michael Wilkinson - but you need pay $25 for season pass and have PS Plus/XB Gold to experience that tho
the PS plus/xbox gold stuff isn't square's fault, the season pass is though...cant wait for windows edition in march.
"THERE'S MORE NOCTIS AND HIS FATHER IN THE TRAILERS FOR THIS GAME THAN THERE IS IN THE ACTUAL GAME"
LMAOOOO EXACTLY!!
1:15 that actually what every kings in the losing side would do when they want to have a peace treaty. It called showing respect.
"Get off my throne, jester. The king sits there." -Noctis 2k16
"Ohh..their related. Neat."
😂😂The way neat was said.
"Altissa gives me the feeling of Venice, Italy with soldiers that are dressed up like its the French revolution all ran by a Hillary Clinton doppelganger." and "That's not how government works, you allow a god to be summoned and it destroys your city, everyone is going to want answers". XD
"Just raise a golden chocobo and go to the island to get Knights of The Round. It's not that difficult"
It's actually difficult for me.
The story in this game is good, it just requires you to connect some dots, and there definitely are some blink and you miss it moments in there too. Gotta say though that Ardyn is now my favorite Villian
Well... i like him better than the boss of my favorite ff game (who was pretty much non fucking existent until the final fight and i don't think she had any freakin lines whatsoever) but sepiroth is cooler (at least in premise)
Do a play through in japanese... Its much better. Personally the english voice acting was... distractingly horrible. Also, after watching kingsglaive and Luna and Regis having different voice actors for the game was just cheap. The first half of the game is great. The 2nd half suffers from the same thing ALL final fantasy games do and thats a hyper accelerated story that becomes kind of non sensical towards the end. The bet on you becoming attached to the characters to the point that you will over look the faults and be satisfied with an emotional ending cinematic. Either way... still a great FF game when compared to the rest of the series.
The story is non-sense with way too many plot-holes. Appearently you haven´t seen a good story, if you think that this was good. Not to mention that it is the same formular that was already used in final fantasy type-0.
I must say that I wholeheartly agree with you on Ardyn and the story. I think they were rushed but it's still very good. And in the end, Ardyn gets what he wanted.
+IgluTV every FF story has huge glaring plot holes...but nostalgia of the FF past blinds most of the people...
22:27 MAYBE i could imagine Kefka saying that. But Garland, emperor mateus, exdeath, zemus, golbez, sephiroth, proffesor hojo, genesis rhapsodos, kuja, seymour guldo, yu yevon, shuyin, the shadow lord, vayne solidor, barthandelous, caius ballad, nael van dernus and lahabrea? No, i don't think so
Ps: also, is not Ardyn the one saying that. Is prompto since Ardyn did the disguise thing
YOU JUST GOT AERITHED.. .Lol I don't know why but that sht cracked me up lol
Also,
"the throne brings you here, it seats only one."
"...off my chair, jester. the king sits there."
BEST. EXCHANGE. EVER.
"you just got Aerithed"
Ouch.
I'm surprised you didn't make an attack on titan joke. Too obvious? XD
Mistydolphin It wouldn't make much sense since Titan is a classic character on FF series and would not add nothing to the critique
Eh, i thought it woulda been funny. But fair enough. Ok, shutting up now.
"Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!" Still singing that everytime Atlas shows up...
At least someone gets it. XD
I get the joke, but I guess since Titan has been in the FF franchise way before Attack on Titan came out, it's a bit weak. It's like how some people compare the mecha in this to Metal Gear, but Magi-Tech has been in FF for a long time also. People just don't seem to be aware of how old FF is it seems.
THE ENDING
EVERY FUCKING THING ABOUT THE ENDING IS A SIN
NOCTIS DESERVED BETTER
Also
"Dude are you seriously trying to kill me"
And the kid who told noctis about flowers was smeagol
In the train Ardyn swapped places with Prompto, that's why when attacked by Noctis, he heard what Prompto was saying, but saw Ardyn.
Lucky I didn't click read more, I don't want spoiler
Noctis death... was main goal of Ardyn... so yeah, bad guy won and the game still celebrates it as a victory, not to mention that Noctis journey of becomming a king turned out to be totally pointless.
Ah yes the ending.
Nearly the whole cast dies,with at last 1 person being MIA(poor Aranea,you deserved to be in a better entry).
Magic is gone.
Monsters are still roaming the world.
The year long darkness probably screwed over the eco-system to the point it cant rehabilitate.
Also lets not forget that 99% of humanity is dead with the few remaining survivors being huddled together in a small city,thats probably able to house a few hundred at most,right next to a reactor that already nearly blew up at least one time.
Bu hey,guess all is well as long as the sun goes up again...the game´s story is such a mess.
Am I one of the only people who genuinely liked the ending? Depressing as it was I thought it truly fit, it was satisfactorily unsatisfactory. The Oracle and King were never meant to last. "Moon" (Lunafreya) and "Night" (Noctis) must sleep in order for dawn to come. Somnus (the name of the theme song) = sleep, the last quest, A Cure For Insomnia, ends in sleep, it all comes back around. They are finally together, they finally have their wedding, he is fjnally worthy of sitting on the throne as king even though it happens in the afterlife.
"What, I can't hear you over the soundtrack!" Turn on the subtitles like any other sane person.
Some people dont like subtitles as you are reading the subtitles at bottom of the screen therfore missing a portion of what is happening on screen, personally im one of the sane people but just thought id mention other peoples point of view
@@Brandon25043 Well, I'm hard of hearing and I'd rather have some fancy subtitles down there that tell me what's going on.
If you have good ears and don't need them, good for you though. :0
@@staremojii i think you missed what i said lol i also prefer subtitles i was just justifying for those other people
It's the principle of the thing. You shouldn't HAVE to turn on the subtitles. The subtitles are for the hard of hearing and those that have a preference. It should never be a necessity.
@@Brandon25043 well u can't miss whats happening whilst reading the screen it's still in view u can only mise it if you're an owl cos there eyes are on the side XD
@22:10 - I don't think you noticed this, but it's not Ardyn saying those lines (dude are you seriously trying to kill me, etc.), it's Prompto.
I enjoyed the game. But the world was not believable for a second.
The Darkcloud I mean, it IS a fantasy game.
@@bored9365 True, but it must also make sense within the fantasy world's own logic
I took a photo of a cup of noodles at the end.
Lmfao me too
Did no one else fucking notice noctis changes his clothes from the time in the throne room to the final fight? I mean its obvious and it bugged the fuck out of me...
Eric Staeger oh yor talking about his John Wick suit at the end lol tried to figure out how to get the suit
dude i was just trying to figure out where the hell it came from. One minutes I'm in a battle suit next I'm in an actual freakin suit.
Eric Staeger i think is the same the chosen suit but without the mantle
Eric Staeger maybe I could be wrong but do you mean from ifrit to Ardyn? cause they were burned when he first ran at ifrit
Thats what i thought too but watch the video right before the Ardyn fight happens. he still has the mantle. He at least has it right outside the door when he's asking for the picture.
Dartigan, please do Everything Wrong With The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.
Antoni Dziedzic That would take an eternity.
Angry Joe Hey Angry please make a detailed review of FF XV!! The plot of this game was completely rushed and made no sense, we need your very ANGRY review about it 😉
I'm sure AJ has more than two subscribers, my man.
Frank -97 you're slow in the head if you think that's the real Angry Joe
That would be a short fucking video. What is there to make fun of aside from the combat?
"You just got Aerithed" really made me laugh so hard...
but then I remembered the original Final Fantasy VII scene and started to cry
Luis Alejandro Corona Villaseñor 18:47
"How come those demons aren't attacking the truck?"
It has demon-repellent headlights...
...I'm freaking serious.
PS: You can get them as reward for completing all of Cindy's side-quests, so you can drive at night too.
18:48
"You just got Aerithed"
Yeah yeah you right but NOOO
The sword always doesnt have blood
28:38
He would have worn them to rest after they were made
21:07 why was ignis being good a sin ?
Also cindy isn't JUST fan service
She's also a plot point
It looks as SquareEnix focused more FFXV Side Quests which makes the game long, But the Storyline is too short which is disappointing, their's no depth to the story like FFX. Maybe they are savouring it for the coming DLC's.
FFXV shows that there still missing pieces to the story, other wise most people would not be questioning about what happened and rant. Their is a missing link to the story that's why I gave the Storyline 8.0/10. I'm looking forward to the upcoming DLC's to focus more on the Storyline. Too many plot holes.
My Final Fantasy XV Rating:
Storyline - 8.0/10
Characters - 9.0/10
Battle System - 10/10
Environment - 10/10
My Overall Rating - 8.5/10
I'm not sure about environment. the RandD engineer said you would be able to traverse everywhere and get over obstacles, but I can't scale or climb mountains, and small bodies of water act more as obstacles that are in the way. All the locations of the Eos world map ought to be connected into one like in VII. The map can be revealed bit by bit with each chapter you complete.
Most of the story is the background, like in that book about the gods and their involvement with the kings, but doing it that way pretty well divorces any emotional impact.
OmegaCC88: Battle system 10/10? XIII's crystarium was deeper than this. This is seriously the only FF to date whose battle system I'd label as bad. Obvious beta is obvious.
I'd use a more fair scale of rating.
Story: 6/10 (Any decent RPG has better story than this. For starter, Tos series)
Character: 7/10 (All of them aside from Prompto are flat characters with no development. Npcs are boring as hell)
Battle System: 8/10 (Not bad, but quite repetitive, and the AI of comrades is bad and you can't do anything about it)
Environment: 8/10 (There's ONE outstanding town and that's it. The lack of town variety is almost a sin for a RPG.
Some of the optional dungeons are cool though)
Side-quests: 4/10 (Worst part of the game... No need for me to explain anymore)
Music: 10/10 (Best part of the game by far)
Overall rating: 7.1/10
The story was easily the weakest part of the game. Final Fantasy games have always had big and sometimes confusing plots etc, but FF15 just didn't seem to have much in the way of a fleshed out story at all. Just bits and pieces of a broken up plot put together in a blender.
a huge nitpick but id like to point out 2:44 the reason why Sid doesn't treat Noctis like royalty is because him and Regis are best friends.
"You just got Aerithed" hahahahaha NOOO hahahaha I DIED.
A Newspaper, as in a *single* paper of news.
Prompto wasnt vague in the japanese script. This game had major translation issues especially with him. In japanese he literally said 'nifelheimjin desu' which literally translates to 'im (a person from) nifelheim'
How come the 148th sin wasn't a reverse ding? O_o
My thoughts exactly. I've even watched it again so I can be sure.....but why?
i just finished this game, i fell in love with the story and growing with the main characters...i cried when ignis lost his eye sight.. i worried that pronto was gonna become a daemon when he was knocked off the train..a lot of the game i felt attached to when i was playing it.
Yeah. The game has some plot holes, but I've never understood how people could say it isn't a good game.
I know that this game has wild flaws and I point them out myself but damn if I'm not emotionally attached to it and its main cast, I love this game to bits.
"You just got Aerith'd."
That's funnier than it should be.
I would love to hear Sephiroth say "Dude, are you seriously trying too kill me?".
I am surprised you didn't talk about how can Ardyn use the 13 royals arms even if the kings that owned the weapons were born after him? Did he also go on a roadtrip to get all of them?
"Of my chair, Jester. The king sits there."
**gind**
I noticed that about Iris - she's hitting on him! XD "They say the view from here is REALLY PRETTY at night," big smile. She wants Noctis to say, "Oooo, we should come back at night." Ha ha ha.
"if you mistook an autoshop for a pornshop!" had me dying
I'm glad I'm not the only one that missed the but of Ardyns monolog because of the sound track and Noct's whimpering. 😂
The key difference Ardyn has with Kefka is that the latter is an insane and cackling harlequin whose maniacal villainy was a symptom of his deep-seated nihilism, while the former is a composed and calculating schemer who hides the smoldering rage that really drives him. They also have vastly different dress differences.
Just because a Final Fantasy villain has some similar traits doesn’t mean they’re the exact same. For example Ardyn has more in common with Caius from FFXIII-2 since both were good men and saviors to their people in their past, both were chosen by gods to help their people, both became immortal and viewed their existence as a curse, and both sought to destroy the world to be free of their fates and to exact revenge on those they felt wronged them. However you wouldn’t say Caius & Ardyn are the exact same kind of character.
I WAS SO DEVASTATED AND UPSET ABOUT RAVUS!! Like he seemed like a genuine self sacrificing guy who wanted the best for his little sister and was overprotective of her since he knew of her fate, but the game did suuuuch a horrible job of building up his tragedy. I'm really hoping at least HIS story gets patched up. Loved the boss fight (as hard as it was) and his tragedy :( Almost brought me to tears.
Ravus was not a bright guy. If you watch the Kingsglaive movie, his motivation to destroy Insomina is because when the Nifs attacked his own country, Regis didn't save his mother from getting killed and blames him for her death despite the Nifs are why she died and was stabbed by the enemy general.
