I just saw a youtube review of the game stating the story was bad but the characters were great!
I'm kinda hyped for this now that I understand the battle system aswell.
The area's look beautiful but it said the shitty camera doesnt let you look at them in the greatest way.

But on the other hand I'm not because of the level cap and the gay pop music.
Also I dont like how the main character has less screen time then that faggoty little kid hope.
supposedly its like final fantasy vi with no main characters.

So all in all I'm kinda hyped for it now but not as much as I was for Final Fantasy XII.

Whoa, what's this about a level cap?  Is it a cap in the sense of FFX's sphere grid where you couldn't move further in the grid till you got the Key Spheres later on or is this like a literal "No more EXP for you, you grinder!" kind of cap?

Its like you can get to a certain part of the crystallium (the level system,its a lot like the sphere grid) and the there is a dead end.After you beat a boss more of it opens up and you can level up abit more.

It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

They should have given an difficulty option where if you choose hard mode your level is capped so theres no grinding.
and in normal mode you can grind as much as you want.

Wow that is a pretty terrible idea.  Really kills a lot of freedom.

why is grinding so important to you?
why do you feel the need to grind so bad that it could potentially ruin your gaming experience if you're not allowed to?
This also helps keep the game at a proper difficulty level the entire way through because now you cant "accidentally" overlevel and find everything too easy and not enjoyable
you know theres a special "flow" thing in game design its very important and id tell you more about it but i adamantly refused to pay attention in that class
don't mind me, just postin' after a few brewskies

I agree that they should have made it an option.

There's no reason for it NOT to be an option.  Obviously it's going to appeal to some people and annoy others, so why not make it a choice so everyone's happy?

I just hope if square ever wants to put a level cap in any final fantasy game again they should make it an option.
Lets just hope Final Fantasy XV goes back to the series' roots like 9.(unless you don't like 9)

Never got into IX much actually.  I have it but I really haven't played much of it; what I have seems pretty good though.

Well I'm just a fanboy!
But I think you should give it a chance the game gets extremely good at disc 3.

Where did you get upto though the game picks up after Lindblumn or however you spell it.

why not just make every single element of the game an option so that we can please everybody?

At least elements that they've never ever implemented in the past.

Because it works and you're gonna buy it anyway so why even bother adding silly extra game modes to appease a small section of players who enjoy spending hours fighting the same battles with the intention of making the rest of the game as unchallenging as possible

If grinding for hours is your idea of fun, why not just play one of those boring neverending mmorpgs forever?
