Final Fantasy XV deserved better. Are we gonna have to wait 15 years for a remake, if ever?
- Thread starter RustyNails
- Start date
Fifteen years? They could make two brand new mainline Final Fantasies in that time. I'd rather they focus on those.
because that's what Nomura did. You can tell where Nomura ends and Tabata begins in this game
I want them to focus on new games in the series.
We're already going to have to wait who knows how long for XVI because of a multi-part FFVII remake.

I'm with you OP, it's a fantastic game and rightly deserved it's top 10 slot in that years GOTY awards on our forum. :)
The story itself is pretty good in FFXV, the delivery is the issue at times.
game bored me and never went back. Perhaps I didn't give it enough time but I shouldn't have too frankly.
Right there with you, OP.
Seeing that Verum Rex nonsense in Kingdom Hearts III only makes me appreciate the XV we did get all the more.

I kept waiting and waiting for this game to be 'finished'. I waited myself out of playing it. I've read enough to know I'd hate it anyway, so it's off my list. Plenty of other games to play. Looks like I'm gonna be waiting a loooong time to play another FF. Last one I played was XIII-2, which was horrendous.
I'll give this game something and that is that last conversation between Noctis and crew was great, the rest of the game I don't want to remember. I would rather play FFXIII than this 100 times over and thats saying a lot since before XV, XIII was my least favorite final.
I'll add my name to the list of people who enjoyed it. I beat it before dlc and patches. Chapter 13 I think is the one that gets hate and while it was flawed and linear, it was nearly as bad as many said
I didn't care about noctis and friends at the beginning but by the end I really liked them
Loved the road trip vibe

I was bawling like a baby at that point but it's not something I usually talk openly about..
I also liked it.. It has flaws but the gang was great :)
I don't think it needs to be remade. I'm with you that it's one of my favourite games, but a big part of what that game is it's flaws. Like Kingsglaive is *essential* to understanding the game imo, and unless you try to Gameify the movie or just have a forced two hour cutscene idk how you can fix a lot of it's problems
It's a very good game and deserves better than all of the drive by "lol it's bad, it's only half a game" posts it always receives

I think the writing was on the wall ever since Nomura left the project honestly. not to act like a nomura-stan or anything, but it was originally his project conceptually from the beginning. Once it changed hands to a new creative mind and became a simple matter of SE making Tabata force it out under any means necessary as fast as possible regardless of what had to happen for that to work, the path was clear(this includes the movie, anime's and such having to even give context for events)
It was easy for me to see at that time FF15 simply becoming a well polished failure in SE's eyes, a mess of concepts that the development team had no real control over and the higher ups had no intention of having them pull together in a creative whole. Tabata leaving and the DLC's being canceled only proves this to me.
And for me, its just as well. I beat FF15 once and unlike FF13, have absolutely no desire to go back to it ever again. And my guess is that is true for SE.
It made tons of money for SE, but if we had known this to be the case...back when Kotaku first noted the cancellation of Versus, that's i would have been fine with that being the end of it, rather than rebooting it as FF15.

Yes it should be. It's a great final fantasy
It baffles me when someone says it's bad.
The last thing FF15 needs is more time and energy spent on it, much like the 13 trilogy before it.
Mmmm, maybe.
I would take a XIII remake over XV honestly, despite disliking both of them equally.
One of the biggest flaws for XIII is the fact that the game rarely pushes you to utilize the battle system to its full extent, outside of end game content.
The base system is solid and fun, it just gets old. XV is just a bad system all around that is all flash with no substance.
Also, I didn't like the story in XIII either but outside of pacing issues and undercooked villains it is at least more competently told. XV is just a train wreck in that department.

I don't think XV is the type of game to ever get a remake. What needs to be redone in XV is its story, not really the game parts of it. It's a beautiful, functional game and we're getting to the point where there isn't much more up to go in that department; it's gonna hold up visually for a long time. And no one is gonna go back to it years later just to fix its mess of a story. It took so long for the game to finally come out, there's been a ton of turmoil and development hell surrounding it, and now they've gone and dropped the planned DLC stories. It's clear they're done with it. As much as I would LOVE to see XV's story get reworked, it'd just be more beneficial for everyone if SE spent the time on other projects.
XV was a disaster they somehow managed to cobble together into something successful enough, and it's a shame it's not as great as it clearly could have been with more time, but XV has too tainted a reputation around it to be worth risking going back to in the future. The game is what it is at this point.

Pretty much. Then again, that honestly describes a lot of Final Fantasy entries.
Best ff game in the series by far. No whiny characters, no weird laughs, no dumbass haircuts, on PC it looked phenomenal.
Yes, it has flaws, but it's still a great game. We need a mod that integrates the episodes seamlessly into the game and we're set.
I hope the next ff MMO puts some more love in the graphics engine, FFXIV is starting to look dated

Dude , this is square. There will be a Remaster/ rerelease on every gen and mobile for the next 15 years.
Not to detail the thread, but I think DQXI showed that you can stay true to a formula while simultaneously improving it. FFXV missed its chance to stay true to its roots and instead they opted to go for a more westernized version of a Final Fantasy. Hopefully, FFXVI will go a more traditional route.
It still surprise me how ppl can find the FFXV combat any good... I mean, have you ever played any decent action game?
OP, you definitely aren't in the minority's, it's one of the most successful entries in the franchise and was generally very well reviewed. The Era bubble is just a real thing, and people like to be overly dramatic. It's a fantastic game, and the perception of a couple hundred people here mean nothing
The game was a huge hit, but it also just came out like two years ago. You're going to get a "remaster" version for next generation consoles, but don't get your hopes up for a remake so soon lmao.
They best we can hope for is that they add additional content like hard mode to the next generation console port.

can we not be contrarians please, thousands of pages of critique have been made about FFXV's shitty combat, being like "I'm mystified! It's never been explained to me!" at this point is just shameless and desperate fishing for replies, which you got, congrats.
Even more so now that KH3 is out and once again makes FFXV's combat look like it was slapped together in a game jam where the only rule is you have to make it out of spite.
It was fine. Ready to finally move on to XVI though. Noctis was cool. Let him have pride of place in spin-offs and Kingdom Hearts.
I loved the game too OP. One of my favorites this gen.
Facts: Polls place FFXV in top 5 favorites of all time, it sold almost 8m in only 2 years making it one the best selling in the series, and has over 50% completion rate. People here talking smack are just stuck in the typical era bubble.
OP
OP
Love the game, tons of fun. As story is never important to me in a game (as it shouldn't be, gameplay should always come first in a game and the best game stories are the same level as a B-film), I loved phasing around and fighting all the cool monsters. Music was great too. I want more of that world.
I'm not being a contarians. He's saying he's bad I disagree and think he's wrong. You may not like it but that doesn't make it bad, just like XV. You may not like it but that again doesn't make it bad.
I don't think it needs a remake though.
