After its release to the masses, "Final Fantasy XV" has by no doubt appealed for one of the best kickoffs ever in the RPG world. Gamers had to undergo several delays and luring teases before finally getting their hands on it.
On top of much hype from fans, the release of extra downloadable content and a series of several updates is expected to further propel the game's success. According to Polygon, "Final Fantasy XV" is scheduled to have 15 free upgrades.
These will deepen the game's storyline and fill the missing gaps in the plot. Square Enix is also developing several more packages of DLC, which are expected to generate more eagerness.
However, as much as "Final Fantasy XV" sounds like a success, it has stumbled in several aspects, particularly in overall polishing and development of the narrative. The good thing is, Hajime Tabata is well aware of some of these issues and his team, according to IGN, is already working on future updates.
The only dire straits for gamers is knowing when these updates will be out, especially when one considers how long "Final Fantasy XV's" development was. Based on the criticism of the game, here is a list of 5 changes that "Final Fantasy" fans want to see:
1. The camera
Anyone playing "Final Fantasy XV" will know that there are some serious issues with the game's camera. While aiming at magic spells, switching weapons or teleporting, the camera seems uncooperative.
When particularly soft-targeting an enemy, it breaks a player's targeting. This is worse when engaging in combat in heavily foliaged regions. Plants and landmarks constantly obscure the player's vision.
2. Chapter 13
In spite of sharing stealth grievances from the last point, Chapter 13 undeniably deserves its own section. In this lengthy section of "Final Fantasy XV," players get to fight as Noctis and continually sneak around their enemies in an attempt to push through the level.
However, the section drags the player for too long. In fact, some gamers think it feels so different that they believe that it was developed by another team. Square Enix, therefore, needs to work on shortening the chapter or work on something that will make it less a chore.
3. Warping Points
Warping, which is an engaging combat mechanism, feels underused in most "Final Fantasy XV" engagements. If an Empire aircraft shoots down a player's train, they must warp from one ship to another to crash the vessels and dispatch the soldiers. Since it highlights the game combat's dynamism, gamers want Square Enix to look into it.
4. Bigger world, more adventure
"Final Fantasy XV" takes the player on a journey to explore the Empire. However, a player's experiences are mostly restricted to the Lucian continent. In the second half of the gameplay, the player is networked through other regions.
Gamers think that they are much restricted to Lucis and the roads that connect to it. Hence, having alternate regions would make the second half of the game much more free to explore.
5. Customizable controls.
Although "Final Fantasy XV's" controls are reasonably easy to grasp, players feel that some commands could map to alternate buttons. In other words, the ability to have more control over the in-game control scheme would improve the player's experience.
