So the score went down. I expected higher Metascore and much lower User score xD. A great scores nonetheless.

Maybe the decision of splitting the story wasn't a good one from a critical point of view. Taking the main event of the scenario out of the game and make a movie out of it does hurt that overall plot of the game. But in reality you can just experience and enjoy both. So personally I have no issue with it. Especially when the characters and the small interactions happen to be full of meanings.

Still halfway through :P

Me too.

Considering how cool it is to hate on FF these days. I say that user score of XV is its greatest achievement

The first Xbox review from Xbox Achievements: 9

"As an RPG, Final Fantasy XV has everything you’d expect: a compelling, emotional story; a tapestry of complimentary mechanics; a significant lifespan; a cast of relatable and well-written characters and a world that’s dense enough to be a character in and of itself. As a Final Fantasy game, it lives up to all the tropes, despite the variations it’s taken from the more ‘classic’ games. Final Fantasy XV is a title that's aimed super high, and although maybe it hasn’t quite hit the targets it set for itself, it certainly doesn’t disappoint, and is a strong enough RPG experience to stand aside The Witcher as one of the best open-world role-playing games of this generation."

The trouble is though that the movie doesn't really stand well on it's own. I would have much preferred the start of the game to be based around that war rather than pushing a car. instead now it doesn't even feel like there was even a war (im up to chapter 8) and the characters don't reaalllly seem to bothered by the events lol. I mean noct barely shed a tear when he found out his father was killed.

It seems the general consensus is that this is a decent game.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality.

I don't get it. You still continue to bring up points I'm not even arguing and I conceded back then, yet actively ignoring everything else going on after the change of tone and topic, still without anything to back it up but wild guesses that you submit as truths. It's funny, I was playing Ace Attorney just a moment ago, which makes me think you'd be a Furio Tigre-level lawyer.

But! You wanted more pics, and I'm glad to indulge you here!

Updated. I saw people saying it went up (and down) earlier, but so far I've seen it standing still in 84.
