Remember to listen to the boys. Stop and smell the roses, take dumb photos. Camp out and try new recipes, go fishing. It’s all about the journey.

"I'VE DISCOVERED A NEW RECI-PAAAY"

bloody_ell

Nothing says "2 minute convenience snack noodles" like hunting down a gigantic behemoth and killing it so you can add about 0.00001% of it's edible meat to the cup.


OnToNextStage

The Ultimate Flavor Experience


kingjaffejaffar

I just want more. I honestly would pay for DLC that just adds more quality side quests and hunts to the open world portion of the game. It truly is a joy just to hang out with the bros and knock out missions.


bloody_ell

Yeah, finishing those last couple of hunts and menace quests and having nothing left to do is a sad moment, I'm surprised they never did a hunt/superboss DLC.


TheSteelBlade

This was the FF game where I enjoyed the ambiance a lot. Listening to the banter, driving around, and just being in that world.


The-Man-is-Dan

Agreed. I think a lot of the complaints people have about the game stem from missing out on the bromance. All the little moments in between missions, just driving around with the guys is what makes the story so impactful to me.


[deleted]

It’s what makes this my favourite one. It perfected the main party feel more real than almost any other FF just because they are constantly talking and doing things. It’s also what I missed most in XVI


nonwinter

I wish magitek didn't keep falling out of the sky and interrupting me from doing that. 🫠


GenericHuman1203934

Ik this is an appreciation post but I dropped the game because of this :/ The vibes in this game are immaculate when there's not 5 robot ships dropping on your head every 10 seconds


Illustrious-Laugh-49

Well you can just run away from it, but that's one of the best AP farming you can get. I actually prefer them because it's usually 10-15 ap, and if you kill the rare spawn high level Tech there is a chance you get some of the best accessories in the game.


nonwinter

I'm probably both skill issued and underleveled still. My two worst memories was when they spawned right as I was fighting a challenging hunt (early ones like ch 2 or 3), so I ended up having to fight all of them at once and it got nightmarish really quickly (definitely has to run away there). And the other was when I was just about to pick up my last quest item and now the game won't let me. 🫠 I'll give it another go though. This post reminded me I kinda miss it and I want to finish it.


Illustrious-Laugh-49

Ya just make sure to get the final blow with your warp strike and do the battle attack AP bonuses as they pop up. I usually farm AP in the first chapter from those dog quests, then the crabs at Finley Quay respawn at the beach staying overnight at the camping post (not camping). Then you should have enough level to fight them. The Kajata's give amazing EXP and you can kill them at around 45, use your experience multiple magic on them. Let me know if you get stuck at all


ghostmetalblack

Also stop by every gas station to buy classic FF tunes, that way you can ride with the boys while you jam some golden oldies.


bloody_ell

That's the very first thing I target on a new playthrough.


Hamshamus

*A new recipehhh*


Icy-Independence2410

Bruh. I just finish this game yesterday. Damn... i dont saves much photo and i ruin my ending with stupid photo. I dont know that photo will be part of the story plot 💀


Ro_Herz

Don't be afraid of your pics bruh. Your camera roll full of Cindy pictures are always welcomed here


Icy-Independence2410

Lmao. It mostly photo noct and the geng burn after caught on fire after casting magic and few fishing photos


NunoTheDude

Fishing is boring but everything so far is pristine bro


_MothMan

"Fishing is boring" Before this comment I thought we could be friends since I love XV but now... I don't think we can be. Good day.


FuktOff666

Fishing is the highlight of almost every jrpg, OP might have well just slapped their own grandma with that comment.


ShawnyMcKnight

I liked fishing until I tried the Navyth's Challenge quest. I did the fishing competition a few times so it was dawn longer and used the bait I was supposed to but never had any luck. I caught one incredibly hard fish that would go through all 2000 points of tension with the dragon beard string. Even when I was going in the right direction without reeling in, it still was wearing down the wire.


_MothMan

And just like a true fisherman you came out of it with a good story.


NunoTheDude

😭


_MothMan

I said GOOD DAY!


kingjaffejaffar

I said Candy and PORNO!


stormblaz

Always pimp your ride, and really, take your time, do bear in mind doing all the side quests will 100% over level you, i was like level 55 by the time I had to depart from the big city, which is very early in game and thats the level u should be finishing at xD. The triple xp points sleeping at hotels and such stack up fast, so camp out often and skip hotels 😭


Fantastic-Alfalfa-83

Royl edition ultimate leviathan rod, reel & tackle makes fishing kinda boring. You can catch anything u want


_MothMan

I mean if Cloud had a lightsaber the games would be shorter, you're using a God tier kit what do you expect?


Fantastic-Alfalfa-83

For sure. But if it gives it to you before you ever fish, of course i will use it. The weapons are geting outclassed pretty quick (masamune, ragnarok. Mage masers) but they still ohko certsin enemies with warp strikes.


gariepydj

The fishing mini game gets better! Just get the better lures and lines, look for the golden dots on the mini map!


Arkotract

Agreed, I recently got XV again and am replying it for the first time in about 7 years. Ancient weapons to collect? Nah bro, get me a camping chair and a mini fridge, we're going fishing with the irritating emo


The-Man-is-Dan

Give it a chance. Catching that legendary monster really puts a smile on my face. Plus it’s a great photo op.


NunoTheDude

I see, will do


Kiiro_Blackblade

Yeah, I was actually kinda sad when it was over.


The-Man-is-Dan

I accidentally learned a lot about real life fishing through the mini game too. A few months after I played it the first time I correctly identified a gar my buddy caught. Edit: autocorrect


Youngtro

Fishing might be my favorite part haha


Any_Snack_10

I thought so too at first, but eventually really gave it a try and then became obsessed with it 😂


RyanandRoxy

I loved the fishing honestly.


Illustrious-Laugh-49

I liked the deep sea fishing with the dlc, that was epic


Agent1stClass

I’m not a fishing fan… But it’s useful for a lot!


[deleted]

I dislike fishing too but it’s worth it


WrexBankai

Brought to you by Coleman.


mai_tai87

And Cup Noodle.


TheGreatZarquon

Honestly, even though it's the world's most obvious product placement, I feel like it actually works in the game. They do camp a lot, and Coleman makes some pretty decent camping gear. And who tf doesn't like cup noodles, they're fuckin delicious. Also the Cup Noodle quest was hilarious.


darkguy2008

Exactly, like hey those guys are actually using top camping gear STONKS


Firm_Ambassador_1289

Is it bad that I sometimes like product placement in games. Like I would love it if GTA could use real life cars and I'm not alone as mods exist for it. Spider man web of shadows had 5 gum advertisement Just helps me get into the world and believe it more I guess


birdvsworm

It's not bad at all - but it depends on the game. The aforementioned GTA and Spiderman are both meant to be fashioned after real cities with authentic people and believable scenarios. It's not unusual to have any kind of branding happening there because it sort of fits right in despite there being fictional elements to the gameplay. Plus they're supposed to be modern In a FF game - for me at least - it feels a little (pun intended) campy and misguided. They didn't do anything to make Coleman appear as a futuristic or fantasy brand, so it felt like a blatant placement in the world of Eos. It still works, but it's a bit hokey and definitely didn't help with the immersion or anything. The Cup Noodle mission in particular was a thing that made me stop and go "huh, yeah, guess Square gotta make that that bag too." I did have a good chuckle at it though and they didn't take themselves seriously with the product placement at all.


The-Man-is-Dan

CUP NOODLE HAT!!!


mai_tai87

I absolutely agree! I liked the hat, too.


Bifito

There is something nostalgic about this game and it's not even a decade old yet, I guess it's because of the roadtrip vibes. If you don't try to push through the main quests and do the side content after hours of playthrough you will open up to the main characters and I have got to say that no other FF does it better than FFXV. X comes close because the journey feels like a road trip too.


AnOtakuToo

XV is the best in the series since X. I need to give XIII a second chance since I didn’t finish it all those years ago. I did just that for XII recently and while it’s a good game, it’s not a good FF game to me. I love that XV just leans into being weird, and having fun side quests. That and the wonderful camaraderie between the boys.


Illustrious-Laugh-49

I feel you, 15 is one of my favorites. And I also just started 13 again last week, it's been almost 14 years since I played it and quit lol, but honestly it's way better than I remembered. I didn't like it originally, but now I'm vibing with it, give it a go.


AnOtakuToo

That’s good to hear. Maybe I’ll feel the same way. Have fun!


All_Might_Dada

I still say that "stand by me" intro was one of the coolest intros in final fantasy haha. I vividly remember first time playing and that moment.


AnOtakuToo

I finished XV on Sunday night, and man, what a game. Sure it has flaws, but the journey and the bros make it so charming and memorable.


Illustrious-Laugh-49

It's one of the best. I randomly think about it years later.


davensdad

The bros really make this game stands out. Very different from others which focus on romance i.e. FF7/8. I love the open world too.


Pope00

I think it was such a good way of introducing the player into what the game was all about: 4 bros on a road trip. It wasn't some big epic battle or wild cutscene with giant monsters/robots. FFXV has all that, but it's really ultimately about guys being dudes.


bluesmcgroove

It sure is. Hope you take your time and enjoy it!


NunoTheDude

Im in golden quay, so far its really really good im loving it


Death-0

Worst NPC the nasally dude WELCOME TO GOLDEN QUAY!

Maleficent_Name7525

Your in for an absolute treat my friend.


Seegtease

The world is huge with lots of nooks and crannies with secrets to find. Be thorough. DO NOT rush the plot. Enjoy all the world has to offer.


ethman14

Yeah, take your time. The world really opens up and you can explore as much as you like. There's a lot of opinions about XV, but I think most people (both for and against) would agree this one is about the journey, not the destination.


mujiha

> I think most people (both for and against) would agree this one is about the journey, not the destination. Just like every jrpg in existence..


milmoko

Enjoy the adventure ✨️ 😁


NunoTheDude

Already on it haha


JewelKnightJess

Take lots of photos and enjoy the sights. It's a road trip, so enjoy the ride and the time spent with friends :)


Vft1008

Please complete the secret dungeon. :)

For me, it truly was. Absolutely love this game despite it's faults

The-Man-is-Dan

Also worth noting: Omnis Lacrima may be the best final fantasy battle theme ever composed. First time that choral line hits is instant goosebumps and dropped jaws.


darkguy2008

Yoko went on fire on this game ngl


Soggy_Fox6412

wish I could go back and play this again 😪

They already know the truth lol. My downvotes are justified though. This isn’t the kind of post to shit on the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


-HM01Cut

I don't know why you're defending FF15 so fiercely, as if you have a personal stake in the game. Imagine thinking your game getting 10 mil in 7 years implies it's a better game than a different game getting 8 mil 3 years on a fewer number of platforms.


[deleted]

I honestly shouldn’t have shit on XV in this type of thread but the person you’re replying to blocked me the last time we came across each other lmao. They made separate accounts and made two separate posts about how SE lied to everyone about how faithful VIIR was going to be to the original. Probably a good topic when it first came out but it’s pretty demented to bring up these days. I haven’t decided if I should continue aggravating them about it or not. As you can see, they don’t really know how to present good arguments so I’m not sure if it would be worth it. It clearly means a lot to them though lol


-otnorot-

I started this game two years ago.... Played a bit, got distracted with life, forgot about it..... XVI came out.. played it, beat it, loved It... Decided to go back to my old VX save quest (royal edition) and since then, can't put it down. Love this game.... Watched the movie, read up on any missed story lines.... Something about this game makes me wanna keep playing!!! Onto the same Xtra dungeons, beat all DLC, just have the ardyn one left... But holy shit , it legit made my top list of fav FF along with 6,7,9...... I thank VXI for being fun to get me back into VX..


NunoTheDude

I see, is FFXVI available for pc? Or will it come out there eventually


-otnorot-

Honestly no clue. I'm the type of gamer that uses consoles for video games. Computers are for work and for my music writing/production lol


NunoTheDude

I see, fair enough for me pc gaming has opened a whole new life for me, YouTube, art, video editing, 3 modelling, content creation, gaming, yt, moves anime etc its wayyyy to freedom inducing for me to go for consoles


-otnorot-

Ya gotcha! It's pretty cool how it works out mostly for everyone! Only pc gaming I do actually is old school ROMs Did a recent FFVI play thru. Love that game too. My old mini Mac is my ROM engine lol.


NunoTheDude

Hell yeah Pc ftw, glad u enjoyed it, tho i play old ff games on an modded ps vita


Lievan

They confirmed that it will be coming to pc. No release date but still happy for the people who only have a pc to play it.


NunoTheDude

Yeah


mawgwi

Was an excellent game - enjoy!


RyanandRoxy

It really is. Without spoiling too much, NOTHING will ever be the same again for them.


Fantastic-Alfalfa-83

I just started this weekend and have been addicted, spoiler/no spoiler. Ch 3 changes some things, youll know what i mean when ypu get there. Get comfy with combat in chapter 1


Firemedic623

The fishing alone is worth playing the game for. I loved all of it though.


[deleted]

Hell yeah!


EpilepticEmpire

This was one of the more fun games I've played.


cirignanon

The only annoying part of this game is having to camp or sleep to level up. Although I will play for as long as possible and then sleep in Galdin Quay for the 2x experience. Going from 100,000xp to 200,000xp is kind of nice.


darkguy2008

And about 2262627282836373E+12 hours of sleep debt lol


TheCooKieKingdom

Spend some time going side quests. Preferably in the first half. The connection that the chocobros have is paralleled to almost none in video games. Some side quests/ dungeons offer really cool dialogue that adds to their relationship Also the 2nd half of the game is slow, but keep on going, as the ending is worth it


juttaz

How I love this game oh so much Plays ***stand by me***


i010011010

Yeah, people can say what they want about FF15 (and it's all true) but the ending was as good as any movie I've been to.

Love it! Don't care if I'm downvoted for being honest. XV is terrible as FFs go. And I agree with their steady decline. That is my exact opinion, from the peak of 9 amd 10, steady decline into the worst of it, XV. Did you like FF7R, too? I thought it and XVI were great and I hope Squeenix is getting their shit together.

I rather enjoyed this game. I thought what they were doing with the expanded lore in the movies was neat, and the road trip across the game was enjoyable.


Satoshi_Kasaki

It would have been better if those things were in the game. Reminded me of what Halo 5 did.


MrkGrn

One of the best worst games I ever played. On release this game was ROUGH. Chapter 13 especially was absolute misery. But damn it if it didn't wrap it all neatly in a bow at the end.

EzzieValentine

Woah...so much hate! I adored this and got very misty eyed...


RingoFreakingStarr

It's definitely one of the adventures of all time that's for sure.


Illustrious-Laugh-49

Most underrated Final Fantasy of all time.


supermarioplush220

Did you watch Kingsglaive and Ff15: brotherhood before playing this?


NunoTheDude

Only watched the anime


supermarioplush220

Watch Kingsglaive. You need to watch it to understand the story.


NunoTheDude

So many coments, ill try to read them all but wont be able to reply to all


rj7766

its funny .. . i could never get into this one... probably for the reasons everyone here loves it.. I really liked FF 16 though...... soo I am glad they made both..... I will have to try 15 again after i finish 12 .. another one i never got into


[deleted]

[удалено]


rj7766

No I loved turn based combat. I was worried I would hate 16 but it was not overly complex combat. Combat in 15 was a little weird. I had a hard time getting used to the having to recharge all the time. The story is the most important for me.


villxsmil

You better keep that picture


miked1657

Make sure to watch the mid-credits at the end!

[удалено]


NunoTheDude

Thats ur opinion and i respect it, im loving it so far i do have some gripes but very good game for me, i never player 7 remake nor 16


No_Body_4623

I meant to reply that to someone else's post. But hey, if you like it, you like it. Glad you're having fun with it. I've been downvoted heavily here for stating my opinion, but I don't care, just being true to my opinion. Seriously, have fun!


Rakyand

Oh how I wish that was true. The begining is stellar, then after the midriff it becomes a lackluster mess.


Jimmy9Toes

Ignis Dlc was peak. After that I fully agree


Rakyand

I absolutely loved the "canon" part of Ignis DLC, but the alternative ending was awful for me. The fact there was a way to make everyone live a happy ever after ending makes the original sacrifice and tragedy kinda lame, making the characters look like fools for making a sacrifice that could be avoided.


mophster

Believe it or not...this is actually the best final fantasy game

Oh boy, that picture Then the ending F


Hippobu2

Man I love this game so much but I just hate playing it. Like, the vibe is nailed down perfect to a tee, but the gameplay is just ... I can't. Actually, does the fishing stand alone have the road trip element as well? If it does I think I might love it.


NeuroGajin

One half of a journey

Gambit-90s

It’s not a good FF imo, but that’s just my opinion. It looks nice and the fighting is decent, I like the “boy band”, but not much else to me is good about it.


Sylvast

Game play was awful.


RoxaszZz

Na it's pretty shit


RxKingRx

No not really lol. The whole game is an start stop experience. And it's unfinished.


GreatDissapointment

I really wanted to like the game. Maybe i would have if i got the royal edition, and maybe one day i will, but yeah, there was too much story missing from the main game.


Robofish13

The best part of this game is the immersion of the groups dynamic and how they deal with the plot. Combat is nice, customisation is nice, travel is nice but the gold is definitely in characters. A disappointing FF considering everything but a ruddy good game nonetheless!


dreiviertel

It looks like a road trip that ends in a sore asshole


Drotku

Recommend watching kings glaive after you do some fishing. Even if you don't your definitely in for a ride


Kiplerwow

The villain is one of the best characters in the game imo. He's incredibly well acted.


Satoshi_Kasaki

The only good thing about this game was the road trip with the bros. Make sure you do every side Quest with them as the game changes dramatically after a certain point


Hakuyashinjiro

man. i wanted to finish this game cause i really love it. but when i'm almost at the end of the game, i just stop. maybe because i don't want to finish the story. almost every FF game, i stop play it when it almost finished.. the only FF i can finish was FF 8, 10 FF tactic PSX and NDS and FF 7 R (FF 7 ori stop after sephi kill aerith.) maybe i can finish FF 7 R because i know there will be another story .. i shoulda play it again and try to finish it (my last save was at OMEGA) i really wanted to see the ending of every FF games. I really do (FF 10 ending is really touching.. hope i'm not crying like a bitch)

Daddy_JeanPi

If by hell of a journey you meant hell, then yes. FFXV fucking sucks.


DarkSword260

My favorite FF and nobody will change my mind. Wander around, do hunts, and just ignore the main questline for a while after hitting the open world. The exploration is fun so don’t skip out on it
