square enix should try to make a final fantasy for fans and first timers again weird they only did that once

and putting it before THAT ONE too. like, it straight up isnt done. The game just eventually stops and if you want to know how it ends you have to go read the book??? also the beginning relies on you watching the movie that only came as a pack-in with early copies?????? FFXV deeply fascinates me

fun fact none of this is even remotely true and the fact that people think the opposite is due to square enix's hilarious mismanagement. definitely something i want to write about after i do a 1.0 replay

idk i disagree, clearly a ton of the intended story is lost or left out of the base game. even taking owning all of the dlc into consideration, they just never made the last 3 dlcs, which pretty nicely wrap up the story. i say this as someone who likes ffxv, its a bit of a mess

oh i mean specifically that the game being 'unfinished' (that is to say, development was rushed and lots was cut) and the game being 'incomplete' (that is to say, supported by a ton of spin off material and dlc) are entirely separate and disconnected things

I played FFXV at launch and while it's flawed in plenty of fascinating ways, this is pretty much not true at all lol. The stuff about it specifically being unfinished and not having an ending feels like you're confusing it with MGSV?

I always got the impression this was a marketing line Tabata loved but the Western marketing team didn't, so you'd almost exclusively only hear it trotted out in Japan-only press, which sort of defeated the point of it lol
