I am a huge sucker for bro stories. Just the guys doing stuff. Everyone calls FF15 a road trip game up until the city with the little sister and its so true. The open world was pretty empty, mostly long roads and wide fields, but filled with memories. I never used the fast travel and manually drove wherever I went, excited every time Prompto grabbed our attention to get a nice photo op with the boys. It had zero mechanical reasons to be there, but for the reason of making me cry it was a 10/10 addition. Trudging thru dungeons, spamming sword teleports, chilling at camp with the gang, talking to the hot mechanic girl, its a perfect tale of summer vacation.

I followed this for the first year if you count retweeting art of girls as following. And then they came out with track mari and I decided I had to lock in for at least 6 months. I got my spark and my track mari but I also received peak fiction. I think hifumi "I love cliches" speech enjoyers should be giving out less 1 stars and more "hooooooly moly" ratings to games with soul but arent really good. I dont like the gameplay very much but its a gacha and you cant convince me they can be anything but reloads and micromanaging rng (and macromanaging rng by getting good rolls).
