My friend who is playing. Is a person with AAA experience at Rockstar. Now making indie games and has a series on my channel discussion Mechanics,Diversity and Narrative in RPGs. We are both huge RPG fans so we thought should be fun to play FFXV. What happened next..let you watch.
I liked what I played. A little bummed we didn't have an option to go ATB or CTB, but the combat isn't all that bad as-is. I appreciate how much they're reaching out to the community for feedback and that they adjusted Duscae 2.0 based on what users liked/disliked. Definitely a step in the right direction for SquareEnix.
I have a feeling this won't be as groundbreaking as initially thought. I can't begin to imagine how much money has been spent on this game. What has it been 10 years in development?
