I have talked about it in the spoiler thread why the story is subpar. To keep it spoiler free I would just say they cut out alot of stuff that seems like it should be there(alot of stuff happens offscreen). And they tried to duct tape the parts that are there and it feels disjointed. Although even if the story is bad the game shouldnt get a 60 or 70 just because of it. Looks like the open world part would make it deserve a 80 or higher imo. The combat bumps it to a high 80, low 90.
Also you have the god tier soundtrack.

Final Fantasy XV Director Delivers Special Message Before Release: “This Team Is my Pride”

For some reason, I kind of feel like we're gonna get something that has a lot in common with Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
That game, like XV, took years longer than it should have given its platform, was introduced with a ridiculously conceptual CG movie created before any real work was done (for those who haven't played KH, the giant monster in the background is completely absent, and neither "Chasers" nor "the lost two" were ever explained), was set aside for the development of another game in the series after the "completion" of the scenario, and was reintroduced on a different platform with a trailer whose scenario differed significantly from the game as it ended up existing (one scene was completely removed, many other scenes changed location/context/PoV character, one playable character's storyline appears to have been significantly altered).
It also started with a lore-heavy scene from a different time period with the protagonist at a different age before shifting to a light and relatively sparse introduction focused on the friendship between the core characters, was much stronger at creating likeable characters than offering a consistent plot, kept its player characters' motivations relatively simple, and had a very strong ending. And, outside of the narrative, it had a fantastic soundtrack that remained consistent throughout development even when nothing else did and a fantastic battle system that made it easy to feel really cool if you knew how to take advantage of it.
...Birth by Sleep is probably my favorite RPG of all time. XD;

Lets also not forget plenty of other Kingdom Hearts related content that ended up excluded from the full games:

General concensus on the first half of the story being weak is fair game since it's been said by a lot of people, even by those who loved the game.
As for this, which happens to be a very specific piece of info, I've yet to hear anyone say this at all.
Best not to state such things as fact until after playing the game. Or if someone has stated that she doesn't get much screen time you can link to their opinion piece in the spoilers section for good measure.

Most other removed content in KH was never shown, apart from a couple of scenes from the earliest KH2 trailers. BbS is weird in that its first trailer is hardly recognizable in the final product and it shows signs of completely changing character arcs after supposed scenario completion. I don't believe for one second that the Terra we got is the same type of person implied by the 2007 trailers.
KH's issue nowadays is showing scenes in trailers that are used in the final game but have no more context in the game than they did in the trailer. 3D is, of course, the worst offender there. (Now that's a game whose story doesn't start until its final chapter. >_>; )

I actually don't mind either - I think both KG and FFXV Luna are beautiful and each are designed to fit into their respective fields. Realistic Luna for the movie and stylized Luna for the game. Admittedly, I do slightly prefer the design of KG Luna, but in relation to the rest of the anime-ish looking chocobros (especially Noctis), it might look a bit strange if that realistic design was used in a game where all the characters have stylized faces. Funnily enough, the oddball is Regis and I have no explanation for this. Jon Campling must really have a good face to be able to transcend both realistic and stylized realms lol

@NightOwl thanks, i really like her in-game design tho!
Just want to say, no matter how it will end, im glad that i joined this community, this was hell of a ride. I met so much great people that i can discuss game with. Hope we all stay here even after release, and after all dust settled.
@Nova @Storm @NightOwl @Jubileus @DrBretto @Lulcielid @LeonBlade @Bionicle8563 and everyone else i forgot to put here
