[ffxv] I guess they're changing everything about ch. 13 that made it impactful lol
misshi
I'm salty
misshi
like, idk, I really felt like having noctis alone with powers that were difficult to use was really nuanced and important
misshi
the thing about the ring is what's making me most irritated, I can live with getting the gladio and ignis side of the chapter esp if it gives us more info on aldercapt and ravus, but
misshi
good grief, that is literally everything I liked about chapter 13 just
misshi
poof
misshi
we gotta make him MORE POWERFUL even though he really should not be adept at all with the ring, it's fine
misshi
and like the only way I can think of to balance that out is to come up with consequences for more power but that would probably just be suicide so idk, why couldn't they just leave it be
misshi
and removing the solo aspect is like, it takes all the feeling out of the reunion with ignis and gladio so I'm annoyed about it but again, if we get more info on the other dudes I'm less mad
ymt. ♯
It looks like just side routes tho? Like not with Noct but shows you what they were up to in the meanwhile
misshi
yeah, but I feel like it takes away from the whole solo mood
NOCT GAR
Game play wise I hated that part tho
NOCT GAR
It was way too long
NOCT GAR
Also more info on boys
misshi
I loved it and how long it was lmao....... like, that was why I loved it
misshi
it was like 900 years of feeling alone and powerless and that was what made it important for me
misshi
and frankly I don't really care what gladio and ignis were up to, but I do want to know more about aldercapt and ravus
misshi
bc then you'd have to play as a blind man who is not used to being blind yet lmao
misshi
they will, I'm pretty sure they already confirmed that all the guys are getting them but idr exactly
misshi
and I'm not saying I don't care what they were up to in ch. 13 like bc I don't care about them or w/e (I LOVE ALL MY SONS) but it seems kind of superfluous at that particular point ig
The Ø Fool
I'm kinda a dirty fence-sitter about this update lmao. I agree that the length and difficulty really drove home how powerless Noctis is and how that ring is just so much power and difficult for him to handle
The Ø Fool
but FFXV is so good about ambient dialogue that I kinda hope Ignis and Gladio get some talk time about how they feel about. any of this.
misshi
yeah, that's basically what I'm hoping for out of it
The Ø Fool
I'm also a tremendous weenie and wasn't really expecting the jumpscares of that last area so they were decidedly unappreciated by my poor weakass heart
The Ø Fool
like I know what they were doing but I was screaming a lot lmao
The Ø Fool
so I both appreciate ch. 13's original style and don't
The Ø Fool
I was straight-up crying by the time we reunited with ignis and gladio though so I mean, what they were doing definitely did its magic
misshi
yeah, the emotional effect is pretty profound with the current length/difficulty and I'm just kind of steamed that it won't be quite as "OH THANK GOD" when you didn't know if or when they'd be showing up
misshi
I'm most irritated about them making the ring more powerful, I think, like I can get past my fist-shaking about the emotional significance of the time spent alone but the ring being hard to use is like. mega important, imo
The Ø Fool
I wish they'd fix the stealth mechanic instead lmao
The Ø Fool
or add something that made it more clear he has no idea how to use the ring
The Ø Fool
bc I definitely got to that part and was like "wait, why do I hide here? how long do I hide? is it enemies or is this a rail on a floor where something will go by??" and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out wtf
misshi
the stealth mechanic was the one thing that really and truly needed actual fixing lmao
misshi
I think ello ended up just not even trying and just like death siphoning all the magitek guys
