    Recently finished Final Fantasy 15 and I have to hold back tears whenever I think about the ending. It’s been a while since a game impacted me emotionally and I’m devastated. The last chapter was like a knife in my heart followed by another followed by another.

    There’s still a ton of quests and postgame stuff left but to do them, you need to time travel back in the story and adventuring with your group just isn’t the same anymore after you know what’s waiting for them )':

      It’s a strange choice, isn’t it, leaving all the ‘post-game’ material for after the ending. I found the whole thing unsatisfying because of the structure. The story itself was decent. The atmosphere throughout—wow; very ffvii disc one!

        Yeah this game is full of strange choices - I played it blind so I didn’t know the point of no return was halfway through. I have gamer brain so I completed every available sidequest ASAP and by the time I was done, I was 50 levels above what’s recommended for the last few chapters. But apparently that’s how the game is meant to be played??? I literally forgot what the main plot was because of how much time I spent away from it. Vyv, Dave, and Sania each have more presence than the villains. And you have more chemistry with the beach resort chef than your wife hahaha

        I still adore the game though! As far as I’m concerned, the political stuff is just pretense for the road trip and the devs should’ve spent even less time on it.
