This game kind of fucking sucks, but also really doesn't. I have been a big defender of this game since day 1 man, when it was basically in hospice before the DLC and updates. FFXV is such an intensely flawed experience it's almost unbelievable how enjoyable it is in comparison. The overall story sucks, a lot of the quests suck, the combat and world design can suck so much, but it's the pathos man. It is the healthy brotherly friendship between 4 guys who love each other. It's the nicknames, it's the team up attacks, the bickering, the growth, it's everything having to do with the core of the game. The writing of the main cast truly is special. With the presentation and with the chemistry between these 4, FFXV gets away with a ton of shortcomings. A lot of "better" games than FFXV say a lot less, and that's all there is to it.
