Well, they have a lot of work to do then.

Spoiler: I MEAN SPOILERS, FOR REAL, you were warned

1. Make the story self-contained (no watch the Anime and Movie bullshit)
2. Make Lunafreya matter or something.
3. FFS, make Lunafreya playable or relatable, so you feel something when she dies, seriously.
4. Create more side quests, important side-quests, to get something.
5. Fix that BS with the summons coming at random, make it so that they are used strategically in battle.
6. Improve the magic system, make it needed.
7. Make the game harder, make people at least think on enemy weaknesses.
8. Add more characters that are relevant.
9. Add more personality, backstory and mandatory missions that flesh out characters, like e.g. Iris.
10. Add more locations that matter, or that leave some impression, the game to me felt like there was only one city (Lestallum) and a lot of uninhabited land or something.
11. Add more non-generic NPCs to cities to give the cities some character, and create some mandatory missions related to the locations and cities that flesh out the culture/Volksgeist of the location, make me get attached to the locations.
12. Fix the game from Chapter 9 on, it is a fucking mess, from storytelling to level design (including that infamous solo maze).
13. Argh.

I am excited for FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION.

Seriously, I loved the game on PS4, can't wait to try FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION on the computer with all the enhancements FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION will offer.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

FUCKING FINALLY
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS?

Day-1 purchase with season pass, no question.

By the way, those GameWorks effects look beautiful! Can't wait to see them in-game.

 

[RedoLane]

Probably the greatest news in a while...However, It seems to be a very high demanding version, which basically means you need a very recent powerful rig in order to use ULTIMATE settings.
I'm using GTX 970, so I mostly use a default high preset, or a custom(very-high) settings with some features turned off.
The only think I'm afraid of is the possibility of 30FPS lock, just like with Type-0. That would be a cruel dick move.

[Imparasite]

[Subtle Demise]

Now I can pirate this game
It's not worth its price.

Yeah but it will have Denuvo, and when that gets cracked, you will still have to download probably about 100GB. Still not worth it.

 

[Steena]

PS4 that run on x86 logic are so similar anymore, I would honestly be surprised if that is very far off. maybe 9 or 10 months?

However long they feel the double dipping tactic requires to work

 

[SonicfanCEMUTesting]

Sweet! I can't wait to pla-







ah shit, my pc is too weak for this.
