  It will always break my heart that they never finished the Dawn of the Future dlcs. The last one especially with Noctis where he and Ardyn have their climatic battle with Bahamut would've been a spectacle to behold.

  Dude whenever I read the lore for XV I lowkey get sad because it’s REALLY good on paper it had a rough execution

  I don't need to watch the video to know the reason: Square's biggest enemy is itself.

  Remember that FF XV was left in the  dust to create that masterpiece that was Forspoken, a true Square Enix moment

  I think the decision to cancel development of a mainstream Final Fantasy title to work on a non Final Fantasy title speaks for itself, especially one that would turn out to be so terrible.

  Square Enix can try but it won&apos;t break me. I live with the dream that after a decade or two maybe they will release a remaster/remake of FFXV with all the shattered content in a single mastercrafted game and it will be the joy of my life. I love this game, my favorite final fantasy story, a shame you can&apos;t experience it fully with just the game

  If it says FFXV, I click. I&apos;m still not over my trauma.

  Imagine the games we could get if shareholders didn&apos;t strangle the developers.

  I really liked XV for what it was, and I appreciate the development team for trying to fix what didn&apos;t work with the original release, but it&apos;ll always be a diamond in the rough. There&apos;s so much to love in this game, but so much missed potiential and problems to be ignored. I hope one day it&apos;ll get another chance, maybe with a remaster, but for now I&apos;ll still enjoy what we have despite it&apos;s flaws.<br>Saying that, keeping the festivals to timed events was such a waste. I wish I could go through them again

  Yosuke Matsuda&apos;s tenure as SQUEENIX&apos;s President was an unmitigated disaster for the company. That 10 years almost killed the company.
