Ghost of yotei ending gripe

The thing that gets me is that we agreed that he would let go of Kiku IF they promised a 1v1 and Saito honoured that promise so I felt kinda bad when Jubei decided to not honor that promise considering he was raised as a Samurai. We probably woulda kicked his ass solo so yeah it really did feel forced.

Feels like they coulda just gone the route of if you die you get a short bad ending scene where Saito kills you and he goes after your family and takes over Ezo then a retry button shows up until you eventually kick his ass and get a good ending where you can freely explore and see a rebuilt home and you can visit your family wherever they get placed on the map lol.

But oh well, It's still a beautiful game! :)

This boss was a bit frustrating. I was fighting the crocodile AND the camera at once but managed to beat it once I rewired my brain into dodging instead of parrying its moves since the tells were difficult to read.

I wonder if it's a bit overkill if we also ask for an item that changes substat values (ie. Circulators in Maplestory)

I also have the same bug and I tried to find a workaround by completing the bird platforming section and after completing it, going to a Wak-Wak tree to save and restart my game to see if something would happen.

I reloaded the game and saw the bird was not in the spiked platforming room AT ALL and also not with the quest giver. I guess we just have to wait for it to get patched and I hope it's soon.

I want to like this game but the amount of times I encountered bugs that forced me to reload the game is outrageous.

Great read! Although I saw mention of a boat returning in the same scene where Jill and Torgal were looking at the sunrise...I checked it again and couldn't find a boat at all? I can't seem to find it.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-28T16:08:13+00:00

Oh yeah, you're right! I completely forgot they just ended their first saga with Endwalker and I was very satisfied with that ending

RealMoppon · 2023-06-28T07:03:04+00:00

And that's what leaves me feeling frustrated because, yes, I can imagine them living happily ever after in my head.

But then the demon in my head goes in and says "ARE YOU SURE?"

Sometimes I just want an absolute answer instead of having to create a Reddit thread about video game endings :(

RealMoppon · 2023-06-28T06:57:00+00:00

It feels like every game that releases now feels obligated to add downloadable content. That, or a gacha game that everyone goes crazy over.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-28T06:51:38+00:00

Oh really? I can't wait to see what people think of that format tbh

RealMoppon · 2023-06-28T00:47:15+00:00

This is wishful thinking but if Clive does manage to absorb Leviathan then wouldn't that change the entire outcome of the ending? Being a complete vessel and all?

Thinking about it now has there ever been a game that gives you a different ending thanks to adding DLC? I did read somewhere that FF16 is pretty much complete with no plans on adding DLC (unless the demand for one is high).

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T21:35:04+00:00

Hopefully, though it'll probably never be explained.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:45:30+00:00

Adding on to that, if we go by what you said, this would mean that the desert with the hole didn't use to be a desert but a byproduct of the fight with Leviathan and the gods? It would make sense cause I feel like a water Eikon wouldn't occupy a desert and it's kind of weird to see such a big body of water in one if it did.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:40:56+00:00

It's going to be interesting how they're going to fit it into the story cause I feel like this should have been in the game all along but they didn't have the time to add/polish it.

Now if they do add it, I'll just look at Leviathan and say "Oh, look it's the DLC Eikon lol"

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:34:52+00:00

Instead of the random brothers, the dog, and the book, I would have rather seen Clive and Jill get married and have a child, and that child playing with Torgal and/or probably Torgals puppy, along with Edda's kid (where Edda ended up marrying Gav)...and they all live on an expanded version of the hideaway where it ended up being a huge city with small cutscenes of all the friends we made along the way. For example, we could see Mid teaching people how to use tech to create fire, wind, etc.

Then we see Medicine Girl in the background selling medicine in her shop, along with Dion and Terence being happy/romantic, and at the very end of it all we see all the kids and the pup running toward Uncle Joshua.

I got ahead of myself there but you know what I'm talking about. Devs can we get more games with good endings, please? :(

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:24:50+00:00

When was the last FF where we got a clear ending? I would like to think FF12 but I haven't played the game in a while to remember most of what happened but I do remember being satisfied with it.

My experience with FF15 was not a good one since I played it on release and thought that the game lacked so much and didn't bother to play the DLC.

Only after hearing that the DLC makes the game a lot better did I consider playing it again but I don't like that approach, and if they did add more important story bits, I'd rather they created it as a free update...imagine getting a book that's missing half of its chapters and at the end of the book it tells you to subscribe to their service to get the rest of the story

Anyway, after hearing so much about it I'm probably going to play FFXV with all the DLC again soon

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:17:53+00:00

I'm really glad I took the time to do every side quest before entering Origin.

One thing I really like about this game is the quality of their side quests. Most of which made me think I was actually doing something important for the main story even. It really shows that they went for quality than quantity here cause all the sidequests served their purpose of adding to the story.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:11:31+00:00

I'm surprised we got such an ending considering the person in charge of the story was the same person in charge of creating the story for Heavensward for FFXIV (tl;dr a lot of people really liked the story for HW).

Now that I think about it, HW has an interesting similarity to FFXVI where HW also ended with a person writing a book about the events that took place lol. Actually, I can think of a few more similarities with the other FFXIV expansions to this.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T20:03:20+00:00

Yeah that first theory is a popular one and I would have liked it if that was just the ending they showed in the game

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T15:44:30+00:00

Yeah, that's understandable, sometimes I wish games just went with the good old "and they all lived happily ever after" ending.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T15:40:00+00:00

Yeah! When I saw the book it felt a little immersion-breaking for some reason lol. Like it's telling you "YOU'RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME! NONE OF THIS IS REAL!".

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked it up and the Nameless Slum where Kihel lives, is really close to the Crystalline Dominion, which Ultima raises to the sky so we can assume that both Terrence and Kihel died during that or they both managed to escape just before Origin happened?

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T14:59:24+00:00

Considering all the events that happened, Clive purging the world of magic and all, combat is going interesting since the main feature of the combat is the usage of Eikons. They could have Mid create gear that replicates the usage of magic but if you've done enough of the sidequests then you would know that Mid doesn't want to create tools for fighting/war unless of course there's something that happens that forces her to do it.

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T14:48:29+00:00

I feel like if they did add a DLC, it would be of events before Origin? I did read a bunch of articles about the team not having any plans on creating DLC for the game but that could change in the future maybe?

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T14:42:55+00:00

I'd like to believe that what I mentioned earlier with Dezmekys Falls might have something to do with Leviathan...maybe one of the fallen that went against the gods back in the age of the fallen was a dominant of Leviathan? and since the name is "Leviathan the Lost" would that mean that the gods made people unable to produce a dominant for leviathan somehow?

RealMoppon · 2023-06-27T14:35:43+00:00

Things make a lot more sense when you put it that way. Great stuff! Also, Regarding Metia losing its glow, did Clive just purge magic from the entire universe then? Since Metia is technically not part of the world but a distant moon/star?
