I hope this isn't important. Or I'm stuffed.

This FF is different.... But I'm intrigued about what is going on.
Absolutely loving FF15.

Was a bit unsure after the Platinum ad Duscae demos. I was even unsure after I got the full game, but a few hours in and I'm loving it. Absolutely superb.

SO many side quests. And the game world is HUGE.

I'm barely even doing the main story as I'm just off fishing, questing and hunting to my hearts content.

And fishing is great....haha. I was a bit dubious at first but now I really enjoy it. As a tip Blackmoor, if you look around the fishing spots you'll usually find a sign which tells you what type of fish can be caught there. Then if you check the lure menu you can see what tpe of lure work for what type of fish.... Narrows it down a bit

I've put 30 hours in now and im just starting chapter 5....EEK

More tomb raiding than in TReboot games There's this specific secret dungeon, that's like a huge tomb/puzzle/platformer, that takes like about an hour or so to complete.

Spike ceilings, moving platforms, moving statutes, boulders, whole rooms moving based on your footing, giants spiked wall that is somewhat a labyrinth, weird sense of gravity walking on walls and stuff, and lastly, lots and lots and lots of switches xD

So it's worth the 10 year wait?

Depends on how you see it. A lot of the stuff shown over the 10 year development (even the 4 year develepoment for XV specifically) was not in the final game or was heavily reduced down. However they did say that they will update the game constantly with patches that include new cutscenes, bosses, weapons, the ability to create your own character and play the story as him(no idea how this will work) and New Game+ mode.

The story feels very "empty". It had so much pontential, but there are huge gaps, like enormous gaps that makes the game feel "half-made". That's mostly the fault of them thinking of making the movie and the anime seperately. The movie has a better story than the game itself IMO.

Also the map size, even though it seems huge and all, it's not very big tbh. It sure looks incredible, and I do mean incredible, but still, expected something more of a Witcher 3 kind of map. After a specific chapter, everything just goes linear til the end and feels extremely rushed through which I didn't enjoy one bit. I wanted some time to process what was going on, and how the characters were feeling, but the game just didn't know how to hit the breaks xD

The good stuff though come in the gameplay department. It's extremely fun! Even though you only mash one button to attack, you still need to be clever about it. You need to know when to strike, when to block/dodge, when to use your magic, what kind of magic to use, what link-strikes etc.
Then you have the very fun minigames, and there are a lot of them.
Also dungeons!!!! Some are extremely tough, but damn do they give you some OP items.

Overall I give it 7.5-8/10... mainly because it underperformed in story department. If not for the incredibly well done ending, the rating would be lower than that.

So I just completed chapter 13,which I'd heard on the grapevine was a bit of a drag as will be improved via a patch.

I personally quite liked it as it added a change in pace.

However, I think there are other things that need improving. I don't want to spoil anything, but the second 'half' definitely needs opening up like the first 'half'... If you catch my drift.

It's a superb game and I'm 100 percent satisfied as it is. So any additional patches /tweaks is just a bonus in my eyes...
