"an aggressive waste of time" (ffxv)

I will say that I had zero interest in the FF VII Remake and XV has almost single-handedly convinced me to give it a shot.

I couldnā€™t help but be curious about FF7R (and Iā€™d had it preordered for a while), but my expectations were pretty low and I was half-expecting to hate it. But then I played FFXV and got legit hype for it.

I ran through these three DLC episodes recently:

  • Episode Gladiolus: I found this pretty forgettable, though it was fun to pick up a column to use as a weapon the first couple times. Some nice scenery.
  • Episode Prompto: The melodrama was a little tiresome for me, though some of the action parts were okay.
  • Episode Ignis: This one takes place during the showdown in Altissia. The new mechanics are fun and Ignis is my favorite character in the first place. If youā€™re going to play just one of these three, this is definitely the one to choose. Nice set pieces and you get to find out how Ignis went blind.

I had planned to try the co-op DLC thing with a friend at some point, but apparently itā€™s strictly random matchmaking so I probably wonā€™t bother.

Iā€™m curious to know whether Episode Ardyn is worth trying before I uninstall this game thatā€™s taking up half my disk space. Iā€™d actually have to buy it, since it didnā€™t come with the game like the others did.
