I enjoyed it, but more for the general setting and with zero expectations since I don't really play the FF series that much.

Sounds like it's not for you. There's no hidden fun factor in XV. Either you like it, or you don't.

I know a fat guy who was motivated to run for only a week in an effort to lose weight because he saw one of the episodes of the ffxv anime. He was trying to be prompto. He's still fat lmfao

8 or 9 I think. Chapters fly if you just go straight through

How would that have magically fixed all the other problems with the game

And what about all the other action RPGs that are actually good

Disjointed story would be the major one. And the open world nature that you like or don't.

I enjoy the game, got a good 40-50 hours out of it

Open world is a symptom of the battle system. Turn based games are linear, non turn based games are open.

FF games with turn based systems also have good stories.

It seems like once you fix the biggest problem, everything else will adjust itself

Skyrim - Open World
FF7 - Linear

Fallout - Open World
Persona 5 - Linear

It's almost universally true

There are linear action RPGs. Have you never played a Tales or Star Ocean game or something? Or you know, Nier Automata, which is both an ARPG and open world in addition to being a great game?

FF games on average have mediocre stories, the only notable numbered entries being 6 and 11

Paper Mario is turn based and linear. SMT is turn based and linear. Every FF game that is turn based is linear. Persona is turn based and linear.

Turn based and linear go together

Star Ocean is pretty turn based you can still select skills from your menu

That game was a swing and a miss, imo. The combat (most important part of any rpg) was flat out boring. I played this game and then replayed ff13. This actually made me enjoy XIII a bunch more.

Do you think that Tales games are also turned based, because you can manually select skills to cast from a menu?

No, but they did do that months ago. This months patch added character swapping from the online mode to single players.

The combat IS bad, but it also sounds like you're bad at it. The game is shit, just throw it out or trade it in.
