Game is brilliant

Just brilliant! Plot, story, everything! I can't imagine how much work it took to make it so detailed and good. So many quests, so many places to explore, nature is absolutely realistic, caves are creepy, monsters are nasty, and the Brotherhood you can't not love! Those four are like plus and minuses of a magnet and still fits perfect together, it's a pleasure to play with them. Every single have a different tactic and fighting, and make different impression. So well done!

Music is amazing, from the first to the last song, I love it!

Chocobos are absolutely adorable, Regalia I loved, the off-road mode mostly, also secondary characters are great.

Story is so realistic and close to what it could be if there was a crystal and such kind of events.

A few minuses if I may point. First, boys can't be 22. Gladio is at least 27-8, Ignis makes impression of 32 (minimum). 22yo boys doesn't have such a grown behavior, voice, body structure. Prompto could be 22. Trying to impress teen girls isn't a good idea when you are reaching to make the perfect character. Also their faces are the same, same structure, same details, triangle, big eyes, same distance between mouth and nose... Kinda lame.

I've noticed playing one of last parts after Regalia crashed and Noct was at the tower - so many things taken from Darksiders 2 that it's a shame. Noctis recovering from other creatures death - Horseman Death health regenerating after killing something. Long corridors with small square rooms with goods inside - Earth map when Death was looking for Rod of Arafel. Not cool to steal ideas so obviously.

I loved the ability to take snapshots, but so not enough slots. Can someone say what were those strange rocks at few places at game? Triangle with a few holes, obvious big enough to let Noctis in. Strange sound is starting when go near them, but no interaction available. Couldn't solve this.

Loved Luna, so great character, so well made. It would be pathetic if she was some wannabe beauty, glad they didn't ruined her image. On the other hand hated Ardyn, so disgusting and pathetic clown that I turned sound off when he was talking, just blah!

The entire game was amazing, camps, races, secret places, rocks to climb, hotels, lakes... I was so miserable after the first half of the game, when everything became so dark and depressive. No more camps, no more brotherhood, no nothing.

What I couldn't understand is by what logic after The Chose saved The Star and everybody, killed that rat twice, basically he ended the darkness and he was the light himself, he had to die. Based on what? Since you save everyone you are a hero and deserve "happily ever after", not getting stabbed by all damn ghosts for being their hero. "I saved you guys, kill me now". That ruined the entire story for me. I will never understand japanese with their preference for drama and destroying their own characters. Meh.
