FFXV is a great game.
.

What was great about it?

The ass graphics?

The endless fetch quests?

The absolute mess of a story?

The button mashing combat? The trash camera? The trash random as fukk dodge/parry system?

The wack use of magic and summons?

The hilarious editing in cut-scenes?

Chapter 13 aka the worst mission ever in a FF game?

Either you don't know shyt about FF or you don't know shyt about action RPGs - game is garbage.

Yet another prejudiced retard that thinks turn based equals dated. It's thanks to spastics like this that entire 'dated' genres have died out and we are left with nothing but open world games and shooters. :camby:
Didn't say anything about turn based combat.

Go on rants about a weirdo fakkit simulator brehs :mjlol:

To be fair, both games overstayed their welcome. Those endings were so dragged. more so persona, than XV. :yeshrug:

I played a portion of the last one.

Nothing was great about it. Gameplay was meh. High school emo anime isn't my thing.

From what I watched of P5 gameplay looks pretty boring and dated.

Their loss.

It's impossible that there are FF fans that like Persona. No, every Persona fan is a Persona fanboy and a FF hater.

Persona is so gotdamn overrated. This shyt is legit insane to me.

Drags on for 100 hours for no damn reason.

Pointless and endless dialog with no animations and little voice acting. Literally like reading a damn comic for half the damn game.

No fetch quests sure, but is eating burgers and studying everyday any damn better? At least you can press start so you can forward through the pointless spam.

Ps2 era dungeon designs. I'll admit it's better than the P4 auto generated shyt, but please. This shyt is wack as fukk in 2017.

And that's the damn game. You just do the above shyt for 100 hours on repeat. P5 is literally P4 with slightly better graphics and elite presentation. The battle system is LITERALLY the same. Like holy fukk if there is one thing to fukking innovate in a JRPG it would be the battle system. Oh wait they added guns :troll:

I really hope the main story ends up being good because every social link story is a snoozefest.

What keeps me going is just getting new characters and seeing what skills and outfit they'll rock in the dungeons. Fusing Personas is a cool little distraction too. But the story is so far is not much different than P4. The characters are not even a top 20 JRPG cast of all time and considering this has one of the best metacritic scoores for a JRPG ever it's a definite knock.

I'll still admit, FFXV is an incomplete mess that you can tell was passed around like a loose thot between devs. P5 is probably better than that game but it's still the most overrated game this gen. If you're an anime fan that likes visual novels I guess I can see why you would love this game. But it's just not that good. And I legit wanted to love this game after FFXV burned me. But Persona fanboys are still relatively new and will dikkride anything Persona. FF fans at least look at their franchise with a critical eye.

FF15 was so bad to me.
I don't even see how you can say this. It had it's flaws but I enjoyed my time with it. It's not really a top tier title in the series but it's far from bad. If you want bad Final Fantasy try VIII. I'm not even saying VIII is a bad game cause it's not but it's among the worst in the series. It's the Nastradamus of the series. It's weak in comparison to the rest but still acceptable.

I completely disagree with everything you wrote here and I'm not even going to bother arguing why. Full of exaggeration, hyperbole and lies "Battle system is LITERALLY the same.", "PS2 era dungeons", "pointless and endless dialog". Then just hand waving away any retort by preemptively calling people who would've responded as Persona fanboys.



Come on son like this is almost borderline trolling right now but if that's your opinion then more power to you but :hhh:..


Just sounds like you're more annoyed that a series you not in love with is getting is due praise over something else you prefer. Persona ain't for you probably. No need to try and speak categorically about it.
