What went so wrong?
Nothing. It was better than its previous game and the game after it. Noctis also has a better personality than Cloud.
>>749027003Same thing with XIII, lack of diagetic world explanation. They drop you in a world that works differently yet never bothers to explain things in a natural way. The reason it work in X is because Tidus is a stranger in that world, so the other characters are constantly having to explain how the world works to him as a proxy for explaining to the player. In XIII and XV they don't have that proxy, so they have to hide shit in menus and supplementary material. It creates a disconnect between the player and the story / world and makes it hard to care.
>>749027003Handing over the development to a handheld dev to work on Nomuras magnum opus, luckily the "tensai" paid the price.
>>749027109Holy cope
>>749027582The world doesnt make sense because its Frankensteined from multiple games and builds
>>749027109Noctis doesn't have a personality
I dunno but Avoiding The Puddle's gameplay and reaction to Noctis in Tekken 6 or whatever was the ultimate irony
