The worst kind. You can't really do shit because of blahblahblah. You're restricted in a set of hallways that just goes on and on and on.
Review scores were terribly inflated last gen.
There was no honeymoon phase with FFXIII for me anyway. I bought it day one and I remembered being seriously disappointed by it. What a terriblly dull game that was.
Aside from the big one (Mass Effect 3), the Witcher 3 patched in some dialogue for one of the love interests who was a little underrepresented in the late game. But that was more a case of "more of a good thing" rather than "trying to save a bad thing."
But yeah, typically something like this is pretty damn rare.... kind of a DEFCON move on their part it seems like. Fucking with story post-launch just smacks of disorganization, but that has been kind of obvious with FFXV all along.
It's just very different from the rest of the game. Not super spoilery but,
You're forced to go through a pretty long section stripped of your normal weapons and no allies with you. The game sort of plays it off as a horror/stealth type section, but you can totally ignore that because it gives you a gimmicky weapon that can basically insta kill things.
Now that I think about it, the worst part about the section is a random ass plot point about (Actual spoiler)

Lol at people calling it stealth gameplay. You don't have to avoid anything in that chapter, you can just blast anything out of the way in like 2 seconds.
Still disgusted by that change. Just because older games had set classes for characters doesn't mean they all should. V, VII, VIII and X all had everyone could learn everything. XII regressed in that respect.

Do as much as you can, complete as many quests and get as many Royal Arms as you can manage, then just move on and finish the game.

Game was rushed needed more time, if it got another delay people would've been making jokes (funny how it is) lol for those that want to wait, I guess fall 2017 for everything to be complete.

I'd really appreciate a future patch allowing you to re-recruit the temporary party members in the post-game. They're insanely wasted and more interesting than the main party by far and it'd make the post-game instantly more interesting with next to no effort required on the dev's end.

This just makes me lament that Final Fantasy XII was not released during today's post-launch downloadable content age.
That game was this close from being my perfect JRPG.

Being free is nice though

The positive thing about this is that the team is still committed to working on the game and improving what they can in the main campaign not just in small fixes but in substantial additions like more cutscenes and voiced events, etc.
The negative thing about this is that it becomes more and more apparent that XV is work in progress, long after it ships. In a year plus when all the DLC is done and support the game finally ends, it'll be super interesting to see what state the game is in compared to launch.

1. I guess but there were some nice views especially at the end.
2. Okay
3. Not really.
4. Not a problem of this chapter and this chapter has more story and plot revelations that 1-8 combined basically.
5. Huh?
6. Not true at all, you don't have to use stealth at all or else I would've hated it too.
7. Subjective lmao I'll give you that it's a bit repetive but the end payoff was worth it.
8. Yeah it's long. And by long I mean the only chapter that feels like a chapter length, instead of the super short rest of the chapters.
However I seem to be completely alone in my like of 13 so don't listen to me

Sounds like the game needs a lot of work. Kind of have morbid curiosity to experience the worst version possible but I also want to play the best version.
The avatar system sounds dumb. Don't do that, just make more clothing options.

Literally the second thing I thought, right after "those crazy bastards, they're actually doing it."
Because to some people free updates/patches = 'should have delayed the game' and international edition = new juicy content even if they're initially cut from base games
Edit: I see one of their planned updates is limited period hunts and I hope we'll have something like multiplayer Ur Dragon in Dragon's Dogma
There is absolutely no reason to bother stealthing in 99% of this chapter because you have a 1hko spell that kills entire hordes at once. Quit the hyperbole, you all make it sound required.
Same, I killed everything. Fuck stealth.

Yeah, the new cutscenes don't sound that much. More like what they do with the Final Mix versions of KH which they add some new cutscenes. But hey, at least it's free now.

What hyperbole? It's literally just go here and here, use ring, and it takes a long time. Where the fuck is the fun in charging that ring attack?

If only it played like MGS we won't have a problem lol .
Cool I guess but I really doubt I'll be coming back to this game. Oh well.
While Chapter 13 is awful I'm not sure if making the equipment a little stronger there will help too much. I guess it'll make certain portions less tedious which is at least some kind of improvement even if I think it's only like the fourth or fifth worst thing about the chapter, which is saying a lot as the "fights" in that part of the chapter are really bad lol.

It's really amazing how linear the game becomes at a certain point. I just got there.
I really don't want to wait for them to patch it, so I guess I'll just suffer through it if it's really as bad as I think it is.
Crazy that they're fundamentally changing the final product though. I guess that delay from September to November still wasn't enough?

Now I am curious, which one is better:
The current situation.
or
Let Nomura make his VERSUS epic, without telling ppl there are more to come. We got a more complete game that is FFXV. It also shipped 5m. The team announced to continue to support with XV-2.

This is the future, sadly with all this chopped up content :/
Makes you wonder about games like hitman and FF7r being divided into multiple entries was the smart thing to do, to avoid such a mess like this.
A remake is a bit different than expecting all the people you just sold the game to to replay it when they patch in knew stuff in the hopes that it fixes the countless problems that the game has. They should have just delayed it but I understand why they didn't.
Hey, not to derail, but we never got FFXII Internationl, right? We just have vanilla on PS2 in NA?
Because I am interested in FFXII Remastered if it is improved over what I played back in the day on PS2. I really tried to like the game but didn't get past the 15 hour mark.
Well, I mean, Hitman is also a game that's been getting updates to existing content.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

I think I'll wait for this version. Particularly if Cor, Iris and Aranea become more prominent.
Thanks for the head's up. Wow, that's crazy.
I picked up Gears 4, Ratchet PS4, FFX-2 Collection, Destiny Collection and some other games so I guess I'll hold off on this then and just beat everything I have even the ones in my backlog. Horrible, I was actually about to crack the game open tomorrow but I don't want the experience to be as bad as it seems to be.
No, the rest of it is shit too. It's a garbage level through and through.
Making it sound like you MUST stealth because you cannot do anything else is the hyperbole, people don't need to be dreading the chapter for being a forced shitty stealth section, other reasons, fine. But not this one.
