BTW, for all the hate I've heard from the story (no details, thankfully)< I've heard some people compare the narrative to FFT, Vagrant Story, Tactics Ogre, and MGS3. Don't know how much of that is true and how much is an exaggeration, but it makes me even more confident that this has at least gone in a direction that I tend to enjoy

Well, that sounds cool! And yeah, I know what you mean. Back during my MA studies I was always the one in the group who pointed out things wrong with specific translations we would workshop, and though I honestly pointed out the flaws with the goal of making the translation better, it certainly didn't win me any fans.

I'm kinda betting you won't be able to hold out once you have it Unless you're not buying it until you beat Setsuna. have you pre-ordered it?

That's pretty similar to how I think, honestly

My mind has a tendency to overthink and over analyze, and the focus on the negative is something I'm just trying to actively fight against

I try to keep a balanced approach. I can scare my girlfriend with how I feel that society would totally fall apart if suddenly we lost all our electricity, for example, as I'm really confident we'd all be at each other's throats no matter how virtuous we might consider ourselves right now. I'm only optimistic in the original sense of the world, really - that the outcome we have for anything is the best possible outcome that we could have hoped for in the circumstances we currently are.

The hope I told you about stems more from a kind of stubbornness, really. I usually see that things can go either way, but I still want to give everything a fair chance and hope they can do good.

Lol, still been ages since I'd considered myself an optimist


Still, thanks

Who is Kir? Should I take that as a complement?

Don't worry. If there's anything I am that I'm proud of, is that I'm very persistent in my faith Whether it's God, other people, or FFXV, I'll believe in them until the very end.

Heck, I believed in FFXIII until I got to play it myself! And even though it was the most tedious gaming experience I ever had, I don't regret believing in it because I got to experience it on my own terms. And I am 100% sure that even if everything else about FFXV fails, it will still be a very fun game. But even now I am still very confident it'll be great and I can't wait to play it

I really, really hope this is a success.

Yep, pretty much. Which is why I try to pay attention to specific details they mention instead of opinions. And it looks like there's a lot of thing I'll like.

It... kinda already is.

Though from what I notice, there's far more people who are completely dismissive of the game based on some things they read than there are rabid fanboys who think it can't fail. But yeah, of those who have played, the divide is pretty much like I stated before.

Of course, this is mostly reddit. GameFAQs is apparently filled with haters who are shouting at everyone to not buy it.
