My point
Yes I do admit, I am not basing this on playing the game myself. Again the story in the last few chapters could be great. But there is alot of red flags. Like the story only picking up in the last few chapters, this gives me the impression that its going to go by to fast and be rushed instead of being evenly developed throughout the whole game. Also again ive just heard the story in the end is a series of set pieces and dungeons one after another. And also the other characters dont get developed well just Noctis. I have also seen the ending and given my opinion on it in a thread I made. (it was underwhelming to me)
You saw the ending without experiencing the setup and context behind it...
What if you saw the ending for FF7 without having played the game? I guarantee you your reaction would be like "What's this green shit coming out of the planet? Wtf is everyone doing just standing around? What's this light? Aerith? That's it? Wtf kinda ending is this?!?"
Sorry but you just ruined the game for yourself.
The people who actually played the entire game even said that the latter half and the ending were amazing, most likely because they saw events in the proper order they were meant to see them in, thus enhancing the ending scenes impact.
I too have read the spoiler free impressions. I have no idea what happens in the game. All I know is everyone has said the game is great despite being flawed.
Heck they even said they loved it!
Personally I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of this game. I enjoyed 13, so this will be fun as fuck for me.
Characterisation is top notch they said with development for all 4 bros being excellent and that's all I wanted
