The marketing for this game was…awful.
Gorgeous graphics and English accents mean nothing if I don’t care or know what’s going on
Even XV was better…as an outsider I knew that Noctis was a prince and it was a road trip adventure essentially
The only thing I know about this game is it has massive kaiju-style fights, and a bunch of kingdoms locked in a GoT style conflict. That’s enough to get me interested but it’s also all I know even this many months after launch and after watching both the cinematic trailer and the gameplay trailer.
That’s… not good.
I like XVI A LOT. Everything leading up to the game was awful and uninspiring. The demo was the only reason I ended up buying it. I can see why though. The whole game is pretty much just spoilers after spoilers. And that's all of the interesting stuff.
Even showing some of the abilities (the fun part of combat) is spoilery.
