I figured with Final Fantasy XV coming up in less than two weeks, we could just kinda start up a thread to talk about what we enjoy in the series, what you are wanting from Final Fantasy XV, and just kinda everything Final Fantasy for the fun of it. No getting upset over what someone likes or getting feisty, there's a lot of different Final Fantasy fans.
For me personally, I'm not someone who's played anything before Final Fantasy 7. It's a tad hard for me to get invested in some of the older turn based stuff nowadays, though I do plan to get into Final Fantasy 6 someday.
FF7 - I beat this game at a friends house as I didn't own a PS1. Was a tun of fun and still a favorite of mine, though I haven't replayed it in many years. Lost my copy to a so-so friend in high school that borrowed it and moved lol I'm pretty stoked for the remake.
FF8 - I only played about half the game. I didn't like it as much as FF7. The draw system was kinda annoying and it felt less...interesting, I don't know, it just wasn't working with its style, even though I kinda like the modern/fantasy mix usually.
I need to go and play FF9 sometime. Never gave it a fair go at the time and barely touched it.
FF10 - This is the only other one I basically beat and at the time it blew me away as a PS2 game. The story and writing is kinda garbage, with poor voice acting for some characters, but the summons were great and I liked the sphere system.
Barely touched FF10-2, but it seemed silly.
FF11 - I played abit of this, up till around level 25, which sounds low, but that game is brutal and takes forever to level lol I kinda liked it, but it was a game that required teammates every time you played, so I kinda fell out of it.
FF12 - I only put like 10 hours into it and while there was stuff I like, it didn't pull me in as much. I might try the remaster out sometime.
FF13 - And screw this garbage...It's pretty, but garbage. I heard 13-2 is slightly better, but nah. And didn't touch 13-3.
FF14 - Only played the intro stuff and while it seems cool, just not into MMO's much anymore unless they have something really unique and interesting going on.
Haven't played any of the other Final Fantasy off shoot games.
I'm pretty stoked for Final Fantasy XV. It's got a lot I'm into design wise, with open world stuff, the setting, an action RPG oriented combat system, and after watching Kingsglaive and seeing some of the action shown off in trailers for the game, I hope for a true spectacle in terms of battle and cinematics. I'm also wary of the game not reaching it's supposed hype, but as I've seen brought up, this is Squenix's go at rebuilding the FF franchise after FF13, which was financially successful for them I believe, but outside of Japan, a lot of people did not like the trilogy. They then had that Final Fantasy 14 screw up, though they turned that around and I think that is what needs to happen with FF15, which is what I am thinking with them going all in on FF15.
-
FF1: Played a bit of the GBA version. Got lost and died of poison. Fun! I do wanna give an honest effort to beat this game though.
FF4: Played up to where Cecil meets Rydia for the first time. Yeah, I didn't get very far.
FF5: Only played up to the Wind Temple thing in the very beginning of the game, so I can't really give an opinion.
FF6- I am playing this game at the moment and I quite like it. In my head this ties with FF7 for my favourite.
FF7: First (and only as of writing this) FF I beat, I enjoyed it quite a bit. certainly my fav of the ones I beat... ha... get it.. cuz... its.. the only...
FF8:Got partway through disc 2, haven't really played it since, but what I did play I enjoyed.
FF10: Not very far in yet, but I hope to beat it one day.
FF14: Had a free 14 (or however many iy is) day trial, hardly took advantage of it. Its okay, combat was super repetitive, but the scenery was nice. The game lagged my computer kinda badly, but my computer is not that great anyway...
-
I'm looking forward to XV but probably won't grab it for a while.
I only this year finished X, I'm in the same boat, I enjoyed the gameplay and design of the world, and theoretically, I liked the plot, but the actual layout of the story and the voice acting, terrible!
I played 14 for a while but I'm not an mmo player at all so I played for my month trial and stopped after that.
I've also played VII, VIII, and 13 a bit but no more than a handful of hours.
Its a series I've always been massively interested in just never have pushed myself to stick to them, besides X semi recently. I never played them when I was younger though, I played X at a friends but never owned any until I started getting into collecting. Now I have a goal of picking up at many of the titles as I can and playing through them eventually.
-
Ive spent a lot of my game time playing FF games. I have beaten 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Ive played 8 and 9 ... then 10 came out. I tried to play it but really couldnt get into it. And as of right now, my current game is World of FF. I did play through the original XV demo and it seemed pretty interesting.
-
Despite starting out with 8 and it being one my all time favorite FF games, I did go back and play the pre FF7 games so as it stands I have played the first 10, not 11 or 14 since MMO, 12 and 13. Here's a quick run down of what I think:
FF1-Pretty simple, not much to it but it was okay
FF2-It was meh but I really enjoyed some of the music to it
FF3-Was rather BS considering that you can only save before going into a dungeon. Although it introduced the job system to the series
FF4-One of the better games in the series, great characters, great soundtrack.
FF5-Expanded on the job system even though the story was okay but still an underrated game
FF6-My most recent one and really enjoyable from the characters, the music, the battle system. I can see why people love this
FF7-Really good and memorable but I wouldnt call it the best in the series, also music
FF8-My first, my best. I love it despite the hate it gets and the only games OST I own for this game
FF9-Havent played it years but again the music and it feels like a throwback to the earlier games especially after the later installments
FF10-One of my all time favorite RPGs on the PS2 and I put the most time in this than any RPG I have ever played second to Pokemon Gold and music
FF10-2-I mean it was weak in the story department but I give it point for the class system with the dresses and the battles were fast paced which I did not mind.
FF12-I had to use a guide to get through this one. I wasnt too fond of this one but had some good tracks per custom
FF13-Way more linear than FF10 and well pretty weak
I have played the side games like Mystice Quest, Tactics and anything else I may be missing. The recurring theme with what I wrote was music so even if I didnt care for a game, I give it some points if the music in game is something I can go back to since I think gaming in video games especially RPGs is important. I do have 13-2 and Lightning Returns but havent gotten around to it. I have played a bit of FFXV demo and I liked what I saw and I have some good hope for this one if they are indeed undoing what they did with FFXIII.
-
I only played the short Carbuncle demo for FFXV, though I did watch the first one through a lets play, I didn't play the first one or the more recent one that was Japanese only, which I heard is basically like the start of the game. Feel like I'm going in reasonably fresh as I didn't watch a lot of the new gameplay they released, but I heard they really cleaned up the gameplay. I did see they had some cool combo moves, seeing the one with Noctis and Prompto that was pretty sick.
-
I've never actually played through a FF game. I've played FFXI in my youth and my wife made me play/watch some of FFIX, but I know I didn't catch the whole game.
-
Here have been my thoughts of the FF games I've played
FFV - Haven't beaten this, but I found the job system to be super enjoyable and the story was pretty decent. I'm enjoying my playthrough of it.
FFVI - I tried to enjoy it, but after beating it and restarting the game again I just couldn't get into it. I have no idea why, since it's so popular. It just wasn't for me. I still don't understand why it didn't grab me :(
FFVII - I love this game! Have played it through multiple times. I love the music, the story, and those special moments that were scary and sad.
FFVIII - Not a fan of this game unfortunately. It has great music, and good graphics and environments, but in my opinion bad characters and a very convoluted and confusing story.
FFX - This game is one of my favorites of all time. It has a lot of sentimental value to it and was the game that got me into RPGs. I love the story, the characters, the music, the graphics and the world/setting. I'm a huge fan of the game, and I always love talking about it.
FFXIII - Sorry guys, I really don't like this game. :( it's my least favorite FF game by far. I can't stand the story, the characters didn't have any depth, and the game was too linear for my taste (even though linearity isn't a bad thing). At least the soundtrack and graphics were excellent.
FFTA - This game rulez. Tactics Advance is such a fun game with great game design and a decent story, even though the game plays really slowly.
FFTA2 - More of the same as FFTA, though the story wasn't as good as the first game. I want to play the first tactics game on the PlayStation.
FFCC: Really a lot of fun if you can find all the cables and GBAs and enough people to play with. Playing it single player probably isn't as good, it's really supposed to be a multi-player game.
So with that, I'm looking forward to FFXV, but I really want to play some of the other FF games as well, like IV, IX and XII. And Tactics.
-
I'm a pretty big fan of the series. I'm going to be a copycat and kind of do what others did and just go game by game.
FF: Basic, but enjoyable. I played the original on the NES, the update in FF Origins, the similar version in FF: Dawn of Souls and the updated update on the PSP. I only finished the Dawn of Souls and PSP versions.
FFII: Surprisingly enjoyable. I played it in Dawn of Souls and on the PSP. I finished the PSP version not too long ago. Far from perfect, but fun.
FFIII: My least favorite. The dungeons are long, the balance is off, the music is dry and the plot is even more lacking than the first two. Still, credit needs to be given for the job system.
FFIV: The first game in the series I ever witnessed. In some ways, this was my very first RPG. It's still my favorite of the numbered entries and I've finished it on the SNES, the PlayStation via Chronicles, the PSP and DS.
FFIV The After Years: Unfortunately, I just cannot get into this. I've tried multiple times, but nope.
FFV: Underrated and under appreciated. The story is weak, but I adore the characters, setting, music and the vastly improved job system.
FFVI: A fan favorite for sure, and I'm one of them. It still retains that classic, 2D look. However, the steam-punk, industrial story and darker setting really set it apart. Plus, there are tons of characters to get to know and the Esper System is my all-time favorite when it comes to learning magic. I played it in the FF Anthology, but the only time I finished it was when I played it on the GBA.
FFVII: This was -THE- game to play. I still enjoy it. There's not much to say that hasn't been said.
Crisis Core FFVII: This was a great game. You know how it ends, but it doesn't make the ending that less painful. Plus, it was fun to play as Zack.
FFVII: Advent Children: I know it's a movie, but this is my list. ^.~ Anyway, it's farfetched and nonsensical, but still a good time.
FFVIII: Again, underrated and underappreciated. It was different, which was something those with FF7 on the brain didn't care for. The Junction System was unique, but it took me a while to warm up to it. With the card game (Triple Triad?) you could literally break the game in a few hours.
FFIX: My favorite game of the three numbered entries on the PlayStation. Zidane is such a great leading hero, especially after seeing the angst of Cloud and Squall. Plus, you get to see Freya do some Irish Dancing.
FFX: Another one I could never get into. Aside from Lulu and Yuna, I can't stand any of the characters. The Sphere Grid system is pretty neat, but it's restrictive.
FFX-2: Interestingly, I finished this game twice. I love it. There's girl power, tons of fierce outfits and Payne makes a solid addition to the team.
FFXII: Boring. Plus, I hate furry Ivalice. Great music, though.
FFXIII: I'm one of the few folks that actually seemed to enjoy FFXIII. In many ways, it's similar to FFX which is a game I don't like. First, I think Lightning is awesome. Second, I like the Crystarium. It feels similar to the Sphere Grid, but I love how each character specializes in two or three certain jobs at the start. Third, the battles are a blast. Paradigm Shifting mid-battle is a rush. I could go on about what I like about it, but I'll stop. It -REALLY- missed the mark with it's initial chapters. FFXIII is a story-driven game so I understand why it's simply a "hallway" RPG for a while. But, yikes...those first chapters can be a slog. On the other hand, that's how it was in FFX until the very end when you get the airship, so...yeah.
FFXIII-2: I thought the game could have ended on a high note with FFXIII, but nope. Still, this was a fun game. It was also much easier to platinum than it's predecessor.
Lightning Returns: This is my favorite of the FFXIII trilogy. It's a fun game and it's farcical as hell. It wraps up the series nicely, too.
I haven't played FFXI or FFXIV. Here are a few more side games I've played.
FF Mystic Quest: The most basic of the basic. I finished it for the first time this year.
FF Tactics: One of my favorite games of all time. So, so good.
FF Tactics Advance: Fun game, but I hated the setting, characters and music. Furry Ivalice...ugh.
FF Crystal Chronicles: Awful. You need a few (hundred) accessories to seemingly enjoy the game.
FF Type 0: Surprisingly, this game had a lot to offer. The only downside is that all that it offers can be ignored. I enjoyed it.
Theater Rhythm and Curtain Call: Fun, but grindy. After a while, hearing your favorite song over and over gets old.
Whew, I think that's it. I'm really enjoying reading everyone's thoughts on the series.
As for FFXV, I'm in no rush to get it. I like the idea of a boy-band RPG, but I have so much other stuff to play and with Tales of Berseria coming out soon I will want to focus on that.
-
I ended up redoing mine in the same style just because it's more visually convenient lol
-
In order of first ---> last played:
III DS: I like it, you can get straight into the game fairly quickly, no huge plot dump. The purest FF experience I've had so far and it's portable, more comfortable for me.
XIII: First game I played bundled with the 360, my brief encounter with III was enough for me to realise that it was different, I very quickly lost interest and traded-in. I picked it up on PS3 since now fully aware of it's 'impact' to see if it even stands on its own merits, delve deeper shall we?
VII: I respect this game a lot, it might not be the best RPG or even the best FF but I can definitely see how it was important. The Materia system left me a bit confused but I think I got the gist of it.
Explorers: Man, Monster Hunter isn't all than appealing single player
Chocobo Tales: Take Final Fantasy, Mario Party & Yu-Gi-Oh and mix em' together and you might get a game like this. It's so adorable and simple dumb fun, lots of nods towards past games through the OST. It definitely helps me embrace my inner child with its fairy tales associated to each mini-game.
Type-0: Not the best game for my first hands-on with the PS4, the sensitivity of the camera and vastly different characters threw me off. After coming back to it a few days ago I warmed up to it. I heard this played similar to Crisis-core, same Director and stuff
-
Final Fantasies have always been a little too linear for my RPG tastes. I like to explore an open world, but FF likes to take you on a guided tour instead. The graphics and music are usually really good, though. I do like watching the movie scenes.
I did really like the first one. It felt like a Dragon Quest game, with a little different twist to it.
-
Ooo, I like this thread.
FF: Never managed to play much of the first one, but I actually kind of enjoyed what I played of it. This was the Origins version mind. It was pretty simple but simple can be fine. Interesting to see that this was how the series started out.
FFII: I couldn't get that far into this cause I was playing the PS1 disc (Origins) on PS3 and the game crashes permanently at a certain point if you try to play it on PS3, which sucks. Wasn't a fan of what I played though. I liked the idea of the leveling system but that encounter rate can go straight to hell. Though I've got it on WonderSwan so I may play more of that version. Has my favourite overworld theme of the series too. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QgHeyDvAaY)
FFIII: I've only played the DS version and I didn't like it. Any Enix remake of an old Final Fantasy game leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I want to play the original version someday. Didn't play much of it.
FFIV: Not a fan personally but I wouldn't say I dislike it. I've been meaning to give it another shot though. Again, didn't get that far. I got distracted by FFV.
Mystic Quest Legend: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
FFV: I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this one. This was where the series started to get great for me. It deserves more love. The job system in this game is so damn addictive. Still haven't finished it though. I need to get round to that.
FFVI: Nothing needs to be said about this one, it's awesome. I wouldn't say I like it quite as much as the die-hard FF6 fans but I do really like it. Still need to finish it. It was actually the second Final Fantasy game I owned, I found a PS1 copy of it as a kid and had my auntie buy it for me. I'd only played FF8 before then though so I was really confused by it and ended up selling it on a car boot. Got it back later though after I realised it was actually supposed to be a great game.
FFVII: By the time I'd first played it I'd already had half the main plot points spoiled by the early internet FF7 fandom and Advent Children so I didn't get that into it, but on subsequent playthroughs I loved it. Watching the Completionist series about it definitely helps set the mood to get into it. This one I have finished though. Huzzah!
FFVIII: Oh my god don't even get me started. My favourite game of all time. FF8 is my baby. I love it like a son. First Final Fantasy game I played and one of my earliest gaming memories. I don't care what y'all say about this game or how different it is from others or how much of a dick Squall is, this game is my bae. Surprisingly I only finished it for the first time a few years ago. I always used to keep starting again when playing it as a kid. I don't really know why. Every core gamer has that one game that defines their gaming life and means a lot to them, this is mine.
FFIX: This was the first Final Fantasy game I heard about after playing FF8, I saw an amazing trailer for it on a PS1 demo disc my auntie had and I needed it in my life. Imagine seeing this as a kid when FF8 is your favourite game and it had never occured to your child mind before that there were other games in the series. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EXkIhfWbG0) I found a copy of FFIX sitting on a shelf in Asda and I spent hours while my mum went around the rest of the shop doing the weekly shopping just staring at it. It was a good several years before I finally got it but I love this one. First Final Fantasy game I finished too IIRC.
FFX: This one tends to be divisive, but I like FFX personally. I consider it to be my least favourite FF of the ones I do enjoy. I think I can see why some people might not like it so much though. First played a demo of it on the demo disc that came with the PS1 version of FF6 and I needed it in my life. Eventually found out my next door neighbour had it and I hated him for it. I didn't hate him for it. But I wanted it. Then I got it and it was pretty decent. Finished this one for the first time pretty recently.
FFX-2: Eeehhhhhhhhh. Eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nah. Let's forget this one exists.
FFXI: Does this one count? I only played it for a few minutes as a curiosity but I didn't expect much from it. I'd already learned to hate Enix and everything they stood for at this point.
FFXII: This was the first Final Fantasy game I played that genuinely disappointed me. It lead to me learning exactly what the Enix merge was going to do to my beloved series. Haven't finished it and I doubt I ever will.
FFXIII: Yeah, everything's been said about it that needs to be said. I actually prefer it over FFXII purely because the combat feels more like proper FF combat to me than FFXII, though that isn't saying much. None of the criticisms are exaggerated. The whole game is one giant self-playing corridor, the characters are terrible and the story is confusing. Mind you the soundtrack is pretty fantastic. One of the redeeming features.
Dissidia/Dissidia 012: Fantastic games in terms of gameplay, but the Final Fantasy characters are so badly recreated it makes me angry. Pretty iconic of everything Square Enix has done to the series since the merge.
Dirge of Cerberus: I actually found myself surprisingly enjoying this one. I can't accept it as a canonical entry to the FF7 story because Square Enix and no Sakaguchi but it was pretty damn fun.
Theatrhythm: It's a fun enough time sink I suppose. Pretty typical of Square Enix to charge extra real money for all the songs they know people want to play though.
I feel like I'm forgetting a couple of other spin-offs but that should do.
Edit: Since we're talking about FFXV, I probably won't ever buy it. I've given up on Final Fantasy at this point. There don't seem to be many people that agree with me but in my eyes the Final Fantasy I love has been dead and gone for a long time now. And just looking at the FF7 remake makes me sad.
VIVA LA TEAM FF5 - 10! ;D ;D ;D
I've jumped aboard the Persona ship now because that series has yet to stop being amazing.
-
I used to really be into the series. I still enjoy all the classics I grew up with from the SNES-PS1 eras. But after FF10, I can't get excited for any new game in the series. The modern ff games just look stupid. Full of annoying characters that look like j-pop rejects.
It's to bad... :-\
-
FFV: The only "old school" FF I ever sunk serious time into via FF Anthology on the PS1. The job system was interesting, but I remember not caring too much for the story. Got board with it and quit about 10-hours in. Haven't played it since probably 2002.
FFVII: My favorite FF game and my third favorite game of all time. This game got me into RPGs and still to this day I love it despite horribly aged 3D graphics.
FFVIII: imo this is the most under appreciated and misunderstood FF. I feel like most people shit on this game for one reason or another, but it's still a timeless classic for me that I struggle to find faults with.
FFIX: I really enjoyed this FF, but not as much as the other two main FF games on the PS1. It was the first FF I bought and played when it game out.
FFX: I absolutely adore this game and it has my favorite leveling system of any FF game in the franchise (the junction system). Interesting story, I actually got to purchase and play this game two weeks before its official release due to a local Target breaking street date. It was awesome!
FFXI: Even before FFXI I knew I wasn't big on MMORPGs, and sadly it took a $60 purchase of the game and about two months of me being a subscriber to realize even an MMO with Final Fantasy in the name wasn't enough to spike my interest either. I essentially cannot stand this game and personally do not consider it a real FF game.
FFXII: I bought this game the week it came out and after trying really, really hard to like it for about the first 5-hours I couldn't do it anymore and stopped playing it. I plan on giving it another go someday, but I just had a hard time getting into it.
-
Anyone else been playing Final Fantasy XV? I've been loving it, it's a very different Final Fantasy game, but it borrows a lot from past games in fun ways. Not that it's perfect, it has a few issues that I'll talk about once I'm done with the game, but I haven't been this into an FF game since 10.
Though does anyone else feel like Elemancy is kinda useless most of the time? You can be hurt and also damage your party using it, so I almost never use it unless I have to like against Flan or if a big group is far enough away, I can toss it at them before my group jumps in. Sometimes I'll do it anyways, cause it doesn't do huge damage on your teammates, but it does seem like an odd decision. It's also kind of minimal in what it does. They are all basically grenades, no fireballs, or direct attacks that I've seen. You can customize them in a ton of different ways, adding different effects and such, but it's all roughly similar in execution.
-
I got the true ending of World of FF this morning so I plan to install XV tonight. I will post my thoughts soon.
-
I'm about hour or so in the game but I can list my current pro/con.
Pro
- Looks nice
- Combat is pretty fun [Esp. warping aspect and dodging]
- The gang is likable [prompto might get slightly annoying but still fits right in]
- Cindy looks good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Con
- The driving mechanic is insulting [Just make Ignis drive and enjoy the view]
- Fishing is really a drag and annoying [a lot more tedious than the other guys specialties].
- The beginning and parts of the game is a completely walking simulator where I'm constantly sprinting and gasping for air while being stasis because I'm spamming warp to get to the check point faster.
- Combat can be very spam heavy.
- Story seems kind of generic? Idk from the information I got its kind of... okay? [Will have to play more]
That's all for now, probably more after i clock in more time into the game.
FFX is still the greatest FF game.
-
I've only played about two hours, but I'm enjoying it so far. I'm trying out the wait mode and, while it can be a little clunky, is nice when I just want to stop and take a look at enemy positioning to strategize something like a magic spell. Same goes for restoratives and such. I'm having fun just running around looking for treasure and such.
The one thing I keep seeing people mention as a point of disinterest to them is the fact that the main party is comprised entirely of guys. I mean, maybe it's just because I prefer hanging around guys anyway, ha, but it's not an issue to me at all. Do people really care that much about having a co-ed group? The female characters in other FF games haven't always been that interesting to me (often too feminine and not relatable to me) with the big exception of Fran from FFXII.

Alot of the cons will change as you play. I'm many hours in, level 30, and at a certain point, I believe once you hit the story point to go to Duscae, you can then drive whenever you want, or auto drive, your choice. In Duscae you'll get chocobo's to ride, which are great and they are best for going to quests and such since they can be summoned at any point.
Fishing is kinda boring, but yeah, it's a minor thing.
There's a trick they don't talk about, but when you are sprinting, just as your sprint is about to run out, hit sprint again, and you'll do a quick phase and completely refill your stamina. Noctis actually has infinite stamina.
Combat is abit spammy. You do get more abilities and such, and eventually you'll have to change targets a lot more, but it gets better.
This is definitely a slow build story. It doesn't start out epic really and you probably haven't even done chapter 1 yet. The story really begins then.
-
I've never played a single FF game, but recently I got FFIII for the SNES and thought I should finally give one a go.
-
God damn, got to the second map in Final Fantasy 15 and it's an impressive locale. Very dense place to explore for the first time. Honestly not a ton of interesting things to find, but it's a vast shift in tone from what I had been doing the previous 30 hours.
-
I'm only about 8 hours in, and that's just in the third rest area or so. I've been having fun just looking for sidequest and other random finds. I'm enjoying the game a lot. Gonna be fighting over game time on it later tonight 'cause the bf is home. I probably spent like an hour on the stupid Justice Monsters V minigame, though, with not a lot to show for it. Not sure what the point of the game is, but I guess I'll find out as the game continues? Hopefully...

Yeah I didn't see what the game offered either. I got my collector's guide in, so I'm gonna browse a few things in it to see if its explained or worth doing, cause it's a kinda fun minigame, but I don't want to spend a lot of time if all I'm gonna get is some basic items lol
*EDIT*
Browsed the guide, but didn't find anything right away for Justice Monsters 5. It's possible it's only like Trophy material, but there's spoilers at that end of the book, so I won't be looking too much there till I get through the story lol

Not sure what the point of the game is, but I guess I'll find out as the game continues? Hopefully...
Yeah I didn't see what the game offered either. I got my collector's guide in, so I'm gonna browse a few things in it to see if its explained or worth doing, cause it's a kinda fun minigame, but I don't want to spend a lot of time if all I'm gonna get is some basic items lol
*EDIT*
Browsed the guide, but didn't find anything right away for Justice Monsters 5. It's possible it's only like Trophy material, but there's spoilers at that end of the book, so I won't be looking too much there till I get through the story lol
The only thing I've found online so far is the list of rewards for the number of treasures you receive (the gold boxes that look like pieces of wood). Seems like the highest is 99 (I got up to 98 then earned 3 more, and it capped off at 99). I got 99 and didn't get a trophy or anything for it -___- Probably obvious, but you don't get a cumulative collection of items for each tier you hit. Just whatever single item that meets the threshold you got to.

Nearing the end of the story, but took a break close to the end of Chapter 13 which is the second to last chapter. Found out you can go back to Lucis after you hit the no return point around Chapter 8. Kind of an interesting way too do it and I really needed it because Chapter 13 kinda sucks. It introduces a new tone to what is going that does work pretty well, the problem is that it goes for way too damn long. There's kind of a new tension, a vibe I can't specify because it would sorta ruin the surprise slightly, but you'll probably get it to once you get there. Though with it dragging on for too long, the tension dissipates and it's replaced with boredom.
I think in the end, the biggest problems with the game are going to come down to the story, even once I get the full truth of what is going on. I think the game is a bunch of fun, some great ideas, great details, but while the overall plot is awesome, the execution isn't. It's too disjointed, like they were missing a lot of interaction between characters at certain points. When Kingsglaive is mandatory to watch, you've made an error from the start.
But when I went back to Lucis to do more regular questing as I was talking about before, some crazy quest side story happened and blew my mind and made me happy again after wading through Chapter 13. Those moments keep me going for sure, because even at this point after 30 to 40 hours of playing, I still find stuff that gets me excited to do more. I'll probably be playing this through a lot of December and there's a good chance I'll do New Game + when they add it in later and I rarely do that stuff.

So do I need to watch Kingsglaive before playing the game?

I think it would help a lot, yes. The Brotherhood anime (free on various places - YouTube, Netflix, Crunchyroll) is also good, too, and short.

Am not a big fan of the franchise but I'll leave my comments
* Final Fantasy VIII: It was the first title that I played from this genre and totally felt in love with everything, the characters, weapons, the bosses and that amazing intro sequence totally caught my attention I even purchased the strategy guide a couple of weeks later cause got the idea that I was missing a lot of stuff and that will need help to reach the last part of the game but I was wrong, beat the game not only one time without it and still beat it every time that I want to remember some good old times also something curious or silly is that purchased FFVII but didn't liked the characters and the story so I traded for another game, dunno why but for some strange reason had the idea that if I played the seventh part that would be able to see a younger Squall.
* Final Fantasy III: Even when FFX and FFXII have better graphics and sound this was the second title that I completed, the idea of playing anywhere even at the damn toilet (yes I did played there) always make me wonder why the hell Sony never released the FF VIII at the PSP, at that time I definitely would purchase the console just to play that title again, anyway the idea of the Jobs that you can acquire and apply for each characters it's brilliant, that's why purchased the strategy guide for this one too, now because of this thread and since my DS is keeping dust in one shoe box and honestly don't want to use I'll play it again at my daughter's 2DS.

Definitely. It helps explain some rather important plot elements related to Lunafreya, her brother, and some of the games background especially at the start. It's unfortunate how important they made it, rather than being just supplemental or to simply expand on plot elements.

Isn't Kingsglaive only available with one of the special editions of FFXV? That seems kind of lame.

Kingsglaive is available separately. There's a deluxe edition that has the movie, game, and anime I think in one, but you can just rent Kingsglaive on amazon for like 5 bucks if you just want to do that.
Also, after seeing the display from above, I thought I'd go see if there were any FFXV posters left and I came out with this display for the game lol I didn't know till I grabbed it that it is double sided with the Tomb Raider anniversary game. I have no idea how I'll display this in my room. I thought about putting up a low shelf with command strips so that it sits up and on the wall, so maybe that'll work lol

Mine is ... was ... double sided too. It had Deus Ex on the back in the same fashion with the bubbled outside but that stopped it from sitting well in my room. So I got out a blade and surgically removed the entire back half. Now it looks good. :D
My game stop didnt have that display you picked up or they probably would have made me take it too. :P

Yeah I might razor mine also so that it can sit flat or flatter. I hate to cut stuff like this up, but there's just no way I can deal with this any other way lol
-
And I beat the game. Overall, this game is like a strong 8 out of 10 if I had to place it. I think it suffers some in the story department, where they just don't put enough work into truly fleshing out the story properly. I think overall it's a great story that isn't over-complicated like Final Fantasy kinda tends to be and in some ways slightly more grounded, as much as a game involving gods and demons can be I guess lol I also really do enjoy the main group of guys as it's the most cohesive group that's probably be done for the series, even if I do sorta miss getting a growing group of teammates. It all feels so genuine and enjoyable. The game itself is really well done, even if the camera and combat is abit questionable at times. I had fun exploring the world which really matters a lot and I actually want to keep playing the game because there's side stuff I missed. That's the sign of a good RPG I think and could be my game of the year perhaps.
I'm really hoping that this is kind of the groundwork of the series for the future or for other games. Rather than always abandoning everything every how many years it is between games, I'd like to see them take this core they have, and make it better either with a sequel of some sort or all setting. There's a lot of amazing stuff they can do with what they have. I'd be very happy if this is what Final Fantasy 7 Remake turns out to be.
-
I havent played it much yet ... but Im hoping the combat gets more comfortable. Its the one turn off I have atm. If anything, I miss the FF VII combat. :-\ World of FF combat is good too.

I'm personally glad turn based is gone. The combat does generally improve later once you've gotten the hang of it and it takes abit, but the combat never really expands or become anything different. It's not like a Bayonetta or anything like that. My issues with it is that the camera isn't particularly great and there's like two boss fights that kinda just go autoplay to a certain degree that is exciting to watch, but not particularly interesting to play, though I was quite overpowered level wise for them so it went quick. Not sure if it's any better at a more average level.

Like kamikazekeeg said, it's available separately in either DVD or Blu-Ray. The BR version comes in standard packaging or in a special Steelbook (if you can find it). Though it doesn't do you much good now, the Steelbook release was on sale last week at Best Buy for $18. :P

Dang, I missed that, I should've grabbed it myself lol Worth getting just to be able to watch the first action scene and the final like 20 to 30 minutes of the movie.
A neat little thing I just found out, but you can totally use a summon in the dungeons. You wouldn't think that, since these are the largest summons ever, but at least Ramuh will do his staff strike and I'm like DEEP in the hardest dungeon of the game apparently, and it pierced the ceiling, with crashing stone to make it seem real, and worked. That is awesome lol One thing to note about getting to the end, is that it's a disappointing amount of summons for an FF game. There's only 6 Astrals. They are GLORIOUS, but you don't get to use two of them, so really, only 4 usable summons. Its not something that hampers the game at all, because I kinda like only having these once in awhile to use. When they can be used, it's a real treat, but I would've liked to have seen more. Also Carbuncle is only available in Easy mode, which is dumb.
Sidenote, I just realized how apparently easy it is to Platinum this game. I wasn't even trying, but there aren't any insane trophies, like beat every single hunt or find every item or anything ridiculous like that. All I have left is to max out three skills for the characters, which isn't super bad, and then beat the hardest boss in the entire game, which could be a problem lol He apparently will take a legit hour to beat with a team roughly around high 60's to 70, which I'm at right now. I could maybe grind out to 75 without getting too bored with hunts perhaps, but that is rough lol

Got a text message last night from my brother:
"FF15 is weird.. its like it's trying to be GTA. I just turned it off to play more Shadow Hearts lol"
I've barely read or seen anything about FFXV, but that's not true, is it?
Although, I'm sure Shadow Hearts is much better. ^.~
-
Honestly, it did remind me of GTA because of the character movements when you're running around and walking into people... which happens a lot. The free roam aspect and looking for missions and such, yeah, I definitely called it GTA: Crown City at one point.

I have no idea what Shadow Hearts is, though a quick look just has it as a standard old turn based RPG. FFXV is not trying to be GTA, it's much more comparable to The Witcher I think. Doesn't quite have the same depth as Witcher 3, but it feels more along the line of western RPG's than the usual Final Fantasy game. You got your cooking items and ore you pick up running around, there are lots of hunts to go for taking out creatures, you got a mount to use, there's crafting for spells...

Hrmm ... this is interesting : https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/comments/5gtaf1/final_fantasy_30th_anniversary_collection/
-
That will be a hell of a collection. Only big deal is that this is essentially confirming FF7R: Episode 1 for next year which is exciting. I have wanted to play 6 and 9 some day, so this might be worth picking up if confirmed. Sorta surprised they are putting out FFXIII on the PS4, but I'm guessing they are just the PC ports. Costs very little and they'll sell at least a few copies of that horrid trilogy lol I'm curious if we'll get any sort of Switch support with any of this or if it's Sony only.

FFXV is getting a real nice selection of free updates and fixes for the game in the coming months.
https://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-xv-free-updates-road-map-new-characters-and-bosses-planned-403494.phtml
I was surprised to see that they are trying to improve and fix some of the problems with Chapter 13, which is a relatively long and boring chapter to do and I'd say almost terrible outside of a few moments. They are also looking to add more Ravus content which is kind of a big undertaking when you think about it, but it's a great thing to have done. The game clearly had some rushing done to it, particularly seen in how the story isn't super well paced and is missing some needed plot in between the bigger points, so if they are gonna improve on that for free and add in all this extra content, I'll be playing this game for quite awhile.

I hope I dont miss some kind 30th anniversary collector edition from the sq store.

Just beat Pitioss Ruins, one of the hardest dungeons in the game, purely because it's a 100% platforming dungeon and it's tough as hell. It's not particularly crazy, just rather convoluted at times, but because of the characters normal momentum, it can be pretty hard to get around. I think I found like over 2 dozen accessories in it, along with the reward being an accessory that allows Noctis to automatically evade all attacks other than the AOE ones that'll hit you and if you are mid attack. You also get a bunch of items, so it was a nice restock. I can't say it was worth such a ridiculous time investment, but this is some serious endgame content lol
*EDIT*
Literally right after I wrote this, I went to leave the area, which requires getting into the flying car you get for beating the game and if you crash the car landing, it's a game over. I went to land, was going to fast, the car crashed, I realized that the past 3 hours, I lost completely. I was so mad at myself for not saving after that lol This game has pretty reasonable checkpoints, it's not the games fault, but man, I felt so stupid. I'm redoing that now, though thankfully, now that I know where everything is, the paths to take, I should be able to just beat it in like half an hour.
*EDIT*
Nope, still took like 2 hours. I'm never doing this place ever again lol
-
Just to add to my torment, I figured I'd beat the other longest thing in this game, which is Adamantoise, who takes literal hours to beat. Apparently if you have infinite airstep, just using that around his head is supposed to be the path to victory, but I ended up figuring out that the best way seemed to be to just hang around his left flipper, as I don't have the infinite airstep. It's more boring that way, since you have no chance to parry which has the chance of giving you an awesome link strike scene, which I only did once, and apparently only fighting the fin, you never get summons to show up as I only had Ramuh show up once. I think I took the longest path, but fighting head on seemed much worse. Took me 3 hours ;-; You get crazy good stuff from it. 90k xp, 50,000 gil, and an accessory that'll completely max out your HP to 9999. Sorta worth it, but man that was tedious lol
Now the only endgame stuff I have left I think is to do the final dungeons which are boring mazes with a boss fight at the end. I gotta do the rest of the hunts also to get XP to level. To beat the game completely, you probably need to be at like 85 or 90. Also just need to spend a another hour or two fishing and I'll probably max that out and hopefully get survival done and I'll platinum the game. My very first one! I honestly don't care about platinums, but it's cool to at least have it be of a game I'm enjoying.

At chapter 13 but man... I'm in shock of Luna... FML I hate this game.

I'm still in Chapter 3, so I'm trying to avoid any spoilers...
If anything, I went back and played the Platinum demo last night because a friend mentioned the Carbuncle summon only being available if you finished the demo. I never played it prior to playing XV, so it was kinda nice to see how they made it a demo of FFXV without really giving anything away about the final game. You get the sense of the combat (in a dumbed down way), a taste of things like weather, lighting, the passage of time, and the weight and feel of enemy creatures... even the running-around-and-looking-for-shiny-things-in-all-the-nooks-and-crannies aspect of the final game.
So it might not have been an obvious connection prior to playing XV, but it makes a lot of sense now after having played some of the final game. Ran around yesterday doing lvl 15 sidequests... guess it's time to finally go to Lestallum, lol.

Sadly, Carbuncle only shows up in the game if you play on Easy. He's basically an easy mode helper. I was disappointed to find this out when I didn't see him show up after the tutorial.

Aw, I was wondering about that. Totally fine, as I figured the only other "perk" was that he'd supposedly have the custom name you gave him at the end of the demo. But thanks for letting me know - I was wondering about this but didn't want to run into any spoilers!
-
*EDIT*
A system restart and a wait seems to having fixed my trophy problem, so now I officially have Platinum for the game :D Still got hunts and the Menace dungeons to do, but I'll take my time on those.
-
Just maxed out my levels in the game and it's ridiculous how much AP you need to get some of the final unlocks. I don't feel like it's realistic to get everything, because there are so many high level ones. Three accessory slots cost 333 AP per character, I have none. Limit Breaks are 999 AP per character, I have none. Sure, they have a lot of things that are supposed to earn you extra AP, but it seemed like the only time I was really earning a lot of AP, was in leveling. Also to get the things that offer more AP, those can be upwards of 99 AP each to unlock. I have a few that help, but right now, I'm sitting on about 660 AP and the rest of the AP is gonna come real slowly just to get one limit break.
Not sure if like New Game + will solve this when its released and I still have the Menace quests to do (God, these take forever and are super boring lol), and hunts, but I've put like a 100 hours in and kinda done the majority of the game.

In celebration, I will listen to the FF2 soundtrack in FF15 lol Oh, and silly note of FF15 if anyone didn't notice, but there's totally a portable music player that you buy from the shop you can access in the car. I didn't know about till well into the game, but it allows you to play all the music you want when running around on foot, which is nice to get some of that classic battle music playing during fights.

Whoa, totally didn't know about this! Not sure if my other friends know either - I'll have to pass along the word. Sometimes I'm out in the field, and I'm like, it's awfully quiet here when there's no battle... but sometimes that's nice.
-
That's a nifty feature. The music in the series has always been great.
-
Yeah I had beaten most of the game when I realized that lol I like how much music is in the game. There's music from every main Final Fantasy in this I believe, along with the MMO's and Dissidia. Some stuff from like 13 and 10 sequels I don't believe are (I need my Crazy Chocobo, dammit!), but they could probably always add more too as not everything from the main games is there, like Otherworld from FFX. I'm sure they could add stuff from like Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, Crisis Core, and whatever other side game or thing.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I finally beat the game... I was trying to prolong the inevitable but I was.. tempted to finish it once and for all.

I'm actually gonna wait on New Game + just because I'm not gonna really get anything new out of it at the moment. I'm thinking of waiting till they fix Chapter 13 and then just planning to try and kinda burn through the story since it's supposed to keep all the character progress you've made I think. I still have a Menace dungeons left and I'm gonna farm AP to get the technique damage limit breaks and that'll kinda be all I do for the skill unlocks.

So, I got the deluxe edition of FFXV for Christmas. It'll be a minute before I play it, but what's the order to play/watch everything in the FFXV timeline? I know there's an anime out there, and I have the Kings-whatev movie. Thanks!

Nice! I watched it in order of Kingsglaive -> Brotherhood (the anime) -> game but I think the anime and the movie can be watched in whatever order as long as it's before the game. Honestly, the first time I watched Kingsglaive, I was a little confused, but watching it a second time later on helped a little bit. That or reading the wikipedia plot summary for it after watching the movie might help ;) I think my biggest confusion was not realizing what the names of the cities were. Also, the animation is lip-synced to English already in case you are trying to decide between which audio to go with. I liked the English audio, actually, with the exception of maybe one or two characters.
At the moment, I'm taking a little break from XV since the patch coming soon will apparently add some more story stuff. I heard there were some plotholes that seem like they'll be filled by DLC/patch stuff.
-
Thanks, Lady D! I also need to download that demo so I can get Carbuncle. Lots to do before playing the actual game, it seems.
EDIT: Out of curiosity, I looked at a platinum trophy guide for FFXV. It doesn't seem bad at all. I may go for the platinum since I already have the platinum trophies for XIII, XIII-2, and Ligthing Returns.

I had like 80% of the trophies done by the time I beat the game. I also did a ton of side stuff while playing, but it's actually a pretty easy platinum and I never do platinum trophies, FFXV is my first. Also Carbuncle isn't important unless you plan to play on easy mode. That's the only time it shows up.

Since we still have this thread around, figure I can toss out a few Final Fantasy related things for people that are interested from the FF30th anniversary event.
When it turned out to be that it was going to happen at 3am EST for us and there was no stream, I realized this wasn't going to be a very big event and it wasn't. Along with a bunch of oddball tie-ins with companies for the anniversary, we did get at least some tidbits of new information. Any dates that don't specifically say North America could be Japan only.
Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age is out in North America July 11th. Apparently its a full priced game, which is weird, because FFX/X2 was not full priced, but came with two games from what I read. Oh well, maybe they did a whole lot more with this one.
For Final Fantasy 15, there's a booster pack on Feb 21st. Comes with Power Rangers-esque colored super suits for the gang lol They apparently offer 30 minutes of invincibility, but then need 24 hours to recharge. At least they look cool compared to the awful carnival ones Noctis got recently lol Also, Episode Gladio will be out March 28th and Episode Prompto will be in June. I assume we'll get dates and details for Episode Ignis at E3. Cor will show up in Gladiolus adventure.
For Final Fantasy 14, Stormblood is out June 20th (Not sure if this is new information or not).
For Brave Exvius, Cloud will be out on February 6th.
They did show off a new picture for FF7 Remake, but its nothing of substance. Just some CG render. Was kinda hoping for another teaser as I guess they are waiting for E3 to show off anything important.

Ahhh damn ... Along with the FF 30th, there is a 20th for FF VII. They did a big interview with some of the people in it and a remake of VI was mentioned and it appears to be on the table after VII is done ... wow, Im stunned. Arguably the best FF ever, VI is the one Ive played through the most and the crew Im the most familiar with. The thought of playing it in HD with a PS4 controller is overwhelming.
