What went wrong?

>>3831987 (OP)
it just was too gay. I fel like I was on an adventure with a boyband

>>3832018
It was supposed to be a bachelor party or something. Who was the best man?

>>3832030
Where were the strippers

Its just another sloppy fantasy.

I unironically love this game.
Noctis' powers are incredibly cool and my favorite concept to this day.
I love the "Royal Burden" plot.
Ardyn is an amazing villain, he is literally a reversal of the Jesus story, what would happen if a messianic figure surrendered to the darkness.
And more.
What went wrong?
The fucked up development made it be an incomplete story, and a mess.
Not being able to explore Insomnia, as Noctis.
The DLC character stories are rushed and thus kinda lame.
No dragoon girl.
King Regis' story is an awful side game.
Bad ending is the only ending available.
Luna's character couldn't be fleshed out.

The spin off games should have been about the other Kings - the original owners of the Royal Arms - instead of the absolute trash that they are.

SE were fucking retarded and didn’t just give Nomura a stable development and a green light to put in the darker elements he wanted. He kept getting pulled away to make KH spin-off shit, the devs had to go and help with the FF14 fiasco, and the engine was a piece of shit.

At first you hear “game is in development for 10 years” and think wow it must be so full of content and polish but actually it’s spending most of that time not getting developed, which is the whole issue. Much like how all those big cathedrals didn’t actually take centuries of labour, they just kept leaving the project unfinished for ages.

They could have fleshed out the magic system a little bit more and fleshed out the ending but what we did get is still pretty impressive.

>>3831987 (OP)
well they call it final but they keep making more

>>3831987 (OP)
Empty as fuck world map
Performance issues due to the Luminous Engine being ass
All the required Anime/Movie/Novels you have to real to get the full story
The Episode Ardyn retcons that ruin the ending
The game making big deal out of characters with no screentime, like Stella
The Hold O to Win gameplay caused by Tabata himself:

This. People have no idea how much was planned and actually finished by Nomura's team despite the corpo sabotage that was completely cut out by Tabata, as if it was a malicious destruction instead of just a rushjob.
You wouldn't know unless you followed the development interviews from the start because most of those interviews are gone from the internet now, although may be in some old magazines.

There was no reason to cut the entire playable section of the Invasion and make it into a movie instead that follows a completely different cast. This was the first section completed by the Versus team and we have a good bit of footage of it being played.

A decade and neither of the mouthbreathers running the ship could keep a schedule.

>the bros were playbale Day 1 in VersusXIII

meanwhile they were like year 2 for XV because of the shit Luminous Engine and Tabata being a hack

>>3832773
tbf for tabata he got thrown a sinking ship high impact project

>>3832785
and made more holes in that sinking ship. He made the gameplay so basic, barebones, and easy that not even the DLC could fix it

>>3832792
he didn't really have a lot of choices around lol

>>3832800
and yet >>3832610 shows otherwise

>>3832606
>>3832608
>>3832610
You can tell what they recycled for KH3. Specifically the "toy box" world with the video game meta fiction with robots.

>>3832802
That version was scrapped for a reason

>>3832819
and that reason was that it wasn't casual enough for Tabata, see:
