10 years ago, Final Fantasy XV made it’s confusing but magnificent debut. For all the cool mechanics and ideas this game had, it seemed a bit off, like the game itself was far from finished. Patches and DLC have made the game better over time, but was it too little too late? Let’s take a drive in daddy’s fancy car for this Final Fantasy 15 retrospective.

I beat FFXV last year after playing 16, and i was so confused most of the time. This video is put together perfectly, this video should be at 1m views easily, editing is superb, humor in great places, and great explanations. I will now be back logging your previous uploads, thank you algorithm.
You know after your hyping this video I was anticipating your releasing the video I even have notifications on for your channel. Nope five days after you release the video it finally pops up on my feed. I'm like twenty minutes in, already I can tell this video is going to be great. Also I'm glad I'm not the only person who said let's Pokemon go to the polls when I saw that character.
Come on you would totally let Cindy Jmash your Sunk.
what do you mean Kingsglaive was a direct to video? i watched this in theatres here in the Philippines back when it was released.
Couldnβt go 13 minutes without getting political ughh
FF15 is the last game in the series for me, tried it for 5hrs, delete it and never play another FF ever since (tried the FF7R demo though)
My man! Really enjoy the long form videos. I know they take alot of work and time, but the effort shows. Awesome work as usual, Wes!
Should I watch this before or after playing the game? I always postponed it… Should I actually play it?

Oh god that Adult Swim style breakaway are sending me.
I always thought this game should have been a two parter, with it ending after Luna's death, and the entire time skip being a sequel.
all 13 games and type 0 are on pc…
I went this whole video without shedding a tear, but broke down at Regis holding Noctis and saying he'll always be with him. I'm unironically that kind of dad too. I never had much of a relationship with my father, but with my 4 year old he's my whole world. I cry when he's sick and every time I see him. I'm just so happy to have him in my life and that I get to be his dad.
15 feels like an MMO that was never completed.
Especially the menus and text boxes
Having a playthrough as Cuphead Noctis was pure hilarity, especially during the game's more serious moments
Absolutely banger video
Another fantastic video Wes ππ
If you can't be bothered to speak accurately about 13 or FNC, then maybe don't speak about them at all.
Your channel deserves way more traction for the editing and commercials alone, i've never seen a youtube video so creative and well-made, amazing stuff dude
all of the XIII games are on steam.
Love the Cartoon Network/Toonami/Adult Swim inspired editing
You know whatβs funny lostplanet one and two are on pc the false os game has a remake recently and it on pc and mgs4 just got a volume collection 2 only one on this list is infamous but I emulate that in pc
Imagine a fully realized FFXV I already love it but now I'm mad at how much is missing and not getting to play as Luna Iris or Aranea
I just imagine our favorite crow mascot is just alone in a field fighting an internal battle with the scourge to keep civilization safe from his unlimited and eternal power.
So glad this came up on recommended. Liked and subscribed. Still need to fully watch! Your intro is awesome
Currently on my 6th playthrough, I like to have lore going in background, thank you for this. Memes were annoying though.
