But judging a game SHOULD be based on the series standards. Say what you want about XIII, (it sucked after all) but it was still a well paced thought out cohesive game. It was just linear and filled with unlikable characters with a bad twist on the classic Final Fantasy music or lack of Final Fantasy music all together.
XV is a mess of a video game in pacing and story. It's like the Suicide Squad or Batman vs Superman of FF. It was one game Frankensteined to try to be what fans want and the seams are appearent and ugly. |
Perhaps it should be, but as I said, taking scores at face value doesn't really tell us much and isn't a perfect metric for direct comparisions. Your explaination was far more insightful than looking at two numbers that were averaged years apart and trying to decipher the meaning.
For what it's worth, I thought the story telling was garbage in XV but found it a lot more enjoyable as an overall experience than XIII. It had problems for sure, but in a way it, for me personally, created something more charming and likable than XIII. XIII felt like a chore. XV felt like a lovable goof-up and I was much more endeared to it. Then again, I've never been huge on Final Fantasy so I'm looking in at it more as an outsider to the series.
