Amarant is legit "I guess we need 8 party members so let's throw this guy in." Complete nothing of a character.

Beatrix though... man, Beatrix awoke some things in 11-year-old me. I still think lady knights are hot. There's a lot of great writing with her, too. Steiner's one lucky dog.

It's less "Kuja can be redeemed" and more "I'm the only person related to Kuja, his life was shit, I should at least let him die with some dignity." The entire game is about death and mortality behind the cheery attitudes of its main cast.

Also how can you not talk about Vivi and how he is the most precious boy under he sun - and encapsulates all of the themes of the story perfectly

It's unfortunate you have 4 incredible core party members and then the back half goes from "The writers forgot I existed" (Freya) to "Worst party member in a game outside of 13" (Eiko).

That was a typo and I meant 3.0, lol. Brain forgot FFXIV starts at 2 for a second.

But yeah I do like Gaius a lot, certainly more than the 3.0 villain. Sure a lot of that is memes, but still. Elevator speech still good the 125th time you hear it.
Gaius is really cool.

3.0 villain got rescued by Ishikawa using him brilliantly in Endwalker

Heavensward is like 9.8/10 for me. I've never fallen in love with a fictional city as much as I have with Ishgard. The companions were wonderful - Aymerick, Estinien, Ysayle, and Haurchefant all remain some of my favorite characters in all of RPG history - the enemies were intimidating, and everything just made sense as to how it plays out. The Fortemps are, as far as I'm concerned, my WoL's family, and Ishgard is "home."

Thordan is super underrated as a villain imo.

That final showdown with Nidhogg gave me chills.

I'm gonna be really sad when FF16 comes out, is great, and sells poorly because of FF15's reputation and being locked on an underperforming console.
God I hope this doesn't happen. I'm hoping its gameplay becoming more spectacle-fighter style might differentiate it enough

It's 52 minutes long. I've watched it too but if you want the points to be expressed, you should probably summarize it.
Yeah you right, I just woke up so my brain scrambled. My bad.

For more detail go to 41 minutes into said video.

Basically:

  • Nomura wanted darker and edgelord-ified Final Fantasy for "Versus 13"
  • Communications went dark over the course of 7 years, over which he was still ostensibly the director
  • Tabata came in after the rebrand to 15 was announced and was met with a staff at the end of its rope, overworked and constantly having to redo what they'd already done
  • Nomura, in classic Nomura fashion, couldn't decide on his own story, changing it significantly a few times each year, at one point demanding to turn 15 into a musical after he saw Les Miserables.
  • Nomura got to fuck off to KH3 later and leave Tabata with a steaming pile of shit -- and as the public face for the game doomed to mediocrity as a result.


Seriously, Nomura is a blight on the damn company, and Tabata couldn't pull off the miracle Yoshida did.

That wasn't Nomura tho. The reason XV is what it is is Hajime Tabata. Game has much more in common with Type 0 than with Stranger of Paradise, just to name a recent game Nomura made that is an action rpg.
My dude, watch the video when you get a chance, Nomura deserves a LOT of the flak here

Luke's Bar was in play. I played Wolverine on another location Turn 2. I snapped and played Wave Turn 3.

After her ability went off, I gave my opponent a thumbs up emoji. They gave one back, then retreated.

They knew what was going to happen, and wanted none of it.

The problem is it has MMO gameplay so it's automatically trash to me.
Perfectly valid! I grew up enjoying WoW so I was inoculated, but I completely understand one's distaste.

God would I love FF14 as a single-player game using an engine like 7R

Also Ive had more toxic emote spammers than ever.
ngl if someone snaps blind on turn 2 without even knowing what deck I'm on, and I kick their stupid ass, I will lay into them. If it's a snap later in the game it's usually reasonable, but if you try to be a jackass hoping for an early retreat and get slapped for it, I will rub it in.

Man, I climbed to Infinite last season with Patriot and love the deck. Then again, my take on it's a pretty spicy (and definitely suboptimal) one, so maybe that's why?

I need another deck to try out though, I can't keep playing that and bounce every single day. I was looking at Agatha Hela, but I need Ghost Rider for it.
