First, MGSV is absolutely a better overall package than FFXV. I know it's pointless and derailing for me to argue my points though, so I won't.

Secondly, FFXV does not have a good ending, unless you're limiting your definition of "ending" to mean everything after the final boss (which is, admittedly, quite affecting and good). Everything after Altissia is awful. The time skip is a huge waste of potential. It's like if after the floating continent in 6 you're immediately thrown into Kefka's Tower.

Thirdly, Ardyn sucks. You have to really try to figure out what his whole deal is, otherwise he's just "obviously evil charismatic dude." That's the basic problem with the story in general is that it's simply not told to you in the game's main narrative.

I will confess I haven't played any of the DLC for this game - I'm basing it purely on my first playthrough. I know they supposedly "fixed" a lot of stuff but unless they made everything from Altissia to the final dungeon less basic and more explorable, I don't think they addressed the core issue.
