My Persona 5 Royal playthrough: "117 hours? That's cute." I just checked, and I have 198 hours in P5R. But I also didn't Platinum that in the what two weeks-ish that it's been out.

I think there's a lot of potential for more stories in this world. Whether inside Valisthea or outside it. And get Natsuko Ishikawa (head writer and story designer for FF14 Shadowbringers and Endwalker) involved with the storyline, too. Just to twist the knife in the heart a bit more.

I believe Barnabas said he came from a land to the south.

Uh...surprise?
Starts at 48:39
Notice how Sessler tries to stop the guy from mentioning the androgynous leads as one of their peeves and talks over him and just says all the sci-fi stuff being his problems of Final Fantasy. Is he trying to cover from his past comments?

So, I might have missed someone saying it, but Jill's homeland, the "Northern Territories" are on the western side of the continent, right?

Finished it well over a week ago clocking in at 65 hours. Having sat on it for a bit, I think I'd have in my top 3 with the possibility of it eventually being number 1.
Clive is absolutely my favourite protag in the series. I can definitely say that.
I loved the story as well as the ending.
All the main cast, as well as the side cast, were great. Cid and Gav being my favourites. Shoutout to Blackthorne too.
The acting was next level too. Ben Starr just crushed it.
Music was obviously fantastic and the boss fights were unbelievable with 2 fights in particular being series highlights.
The side quests in the second half of the game were great for fleshing out the world and certian characters.
The battle system was really fun and I'm kinda tempted to run it back on Final Fantasy mode just for the fights alone.
Overall, what a game. Can't believe I played a new mainline FF game that lived up to the hype and I already consider a favourite. I like most FF games, it's my favourite franchise, but I haven't felt like this about the series in a long time.

I'm fairly certain I'm near the end of the game. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}That fight with Barnabas was downright brutal. And I kinda wish they developed his character more up until that point, but the Odin skills are great and I may have found my ideal Eikonic abilities setup now.

If you haven't yet, get Arm Of Darkness mastered as soon as you can. That increases the Zantetsuken max from level 3 to level 5.
Zantetsuken Level 5 = Everything Dies

Either way, I'm not really digging this game so far. It seems to really want to be anything but a Final Fantasy game, while keeping names that reference FF enough to make me miss what it isn't and struggle to accept and connect with what it is. I've changed my mind the more I've played. I still think this is a poor Final Fantasy game - but it isn't a bad game over all once you have some power and skills unlocked.

Zantetsuken Level 5 = Everything Dies {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Yea, I upgraded that right away. It's very satisfying finishing off a hunt with it fully charged. Speaking of which, I'm down to the last one, Svarog. Yeah, I'm not beating him until I level up more...

He's not that hard if {Spoiler} master diamond dust so you can smash his stagger meter, master will o the wisp to give you a shield and then have something that hits really hard to use when he's staggered, like Gigaflare. I did it at level 45, and made sure Jill and Joshua were in my party for just a little bit of extra damage potential The one I struggled with was the coeurl Bygul. Not even a particularly hard one, just kept getting my timings wrong on things!

Both have made fights so much easier.

Got FF15 for around $23 this morning. Noticed, the game's on sale at a 50% discount for the next couple of weeks, so I figured I'd pick it up. Meant to get it earlier, but opted to go with Ghost of Tsushima instead. Gotta love it when things pan out this way.

It's a very flawed game, but I still enjoyed my time with it.

It's a very flawed game, but I still enjoyed my time with it. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Focused on beating Ghost of Tsushima first. Hoping I'll enjoy it when I get to it. Regardless, I'm glad I was able to get it on the cheap.

Just completed it now. Fantastic game. Not sure how I feel about the ending, but this game was well worth the purchase.
Now to try my hand at new game plus.
