Holy shit, then I suppose Pot Noodles really are ramen!? Ramen isn't a common dish here (well obviously it is if Pot Noodles are ramen, because everyone has a pot noodle now and then), but I see people in US stuff being all "oooo getting some ramen" and have always wondered what it was. Weird. Like people don't cut about in this country going "gonna order ramen today" or whatever.

Apparently she can randomly join you in battle? I was out fighting shit at night and suddenly she came by on a dropship and became a guest character. I was in the process of fleeing the battle when that happened though so she was immediately getting bored and left again!
It's cool that she becomes a guest character, didn't expect that.

So chapter 12. I think I'm in chapter 12? Or is it still 11. I FORGOT. Anyway.
I remember being impressed by Tenebrae in the World of Wonder video and it being one of the locations I most wanted to visit.
You pass through on a train and get to see it from veeeeeery far while it's burning.
Fantastic. =/
Very disappointed.
And is Ravus really dead? Dude had like, one or two scenes only! What was even the point of him?
I guess that's why they said they're gonna add cutscenes in further updates regarding him. Not sure that's gonna help much, you can't fix the fact that his presence in this game had no meaning.
There's quite a few characters that seem to barely be present in XV.
Ravus, Verstael, Aldercapt...and of course the artist formerly known as Stella.
Ah well.
Man, the mood was frosty in chapter 10. Made camp at the mines and all that jolly roadtrippy feeling was gone. =(
...the canned food was the saddest thing of all
Poor Ignis. Was he blind in the prologue then? I missed that...

Honestly, I never actually knew it was just "cup noodles." I always assumed it was cup OF noodles with a small "of" but I never actually checked the label. So this is something FFXV has taught me.
But I'm more stunned that Lex/Scotland doesn't/didn't know ramen.

I'm partway through Chapter 13.
Damn this game really piles on Noctis these last couple chapters. Brutal.

Chapter 14 had a neat little moment for me.
On the way to the citadel you go through a subway station/underpass with a moving walkway on the right. I thought that was a cool detail because I have actually used the exact same underpass in real life on the way to the Tokyo government building (aka real-life citadel)!
I got unreasonably excited about recognizing that location while playing.
...I miss Tokyo.
(Also managed to slay a lvl 70-something daemon in Insomnia, I feel proud.)

It's time for your favourite soap opera!!
Alright... I emailed Royal Mail and I'm waiting for their answer. Coincidentally, one minute later I got a reply from Square Enix saying they apolgise for their delayed answer and that I must be enjoying my game now.
NO, SQUARE, I'M NOT ENJOYING MY GAME BECAUSE IT'S NOT HERE YET.
I promptly replied something along those lines albeit a bit more politely put
And now we're back to the waiting game.

Cindy's getting a Play Arts Kai figure.
Though I would definitely take one of Aranea over Cindy anyday. She's got badass armor and is totallyhawt awesome and Kari Walhgren's voice is hnnnnnnngh. 
I wouldn't mind one of Luna either. Say what you want about her character; I think she's gawgeous and would love a figure of her to add to my collection.

Who needs support characters when you have oversized s0rds that are better at everything forever anyway
.I just did Leviathan too; the first part of that "fight" (honestly, it felt more like a tech demo of sorts... and not a great one at that) just felt confusing, the second part with loads of zipping around... yeah the game needs work and polish when it comes to fighting large monsters. There's too many involuntary camera angle movement, which often leads to the camera clipping through the enemy, the enemy not being visible at all (and it's impossible to find her again), etc. I guess it tries to emulate God of War, but, that one does shit right by making the parts of the fights where the player controls the character relatively static in nature, whilst making the impressive / showy bits quick time events - which are tightly choreographed in terms of camera position and player / enemy animations. FFXV seems to try and emulate that, but in a 'free' mode. Which, honestly, doesn't work well.
Also I find it hard to swallow the "this is Noctis, he's basically a god" bit; I'll buy that the royal family has magic powers and gets to warp in swords, but at least make the guy be proud of it, or don't make him god mode by default - the character, IMO, is just poor storytelling. I'd prefer him to either be more serious ("I am the king now, powar has been entrusted in me by the gods / mai ancestors, I have trained my whole life for this moment, this is my burden to bear", etc), or just like he is, but where he has to slowly gain and earn the powars - preferably a bit more challenging than just grabbing magic swords from crypts. I would've preferred his powers of making weapons appear and warping and such to be discovered and learned, both by himself and the player, instead of being god mode from the start. And be impressed by it, ffs. I mean granted, Cloud was god mode from the start too, but at least there was a lot of explanation and development there - and tbf you start out with a pretty lame limit break there.
Same with Luna Sue, a backgroundless, personality-less character with no background or anything. A nice outfit and hair, I'll give her that at least. But I find it hard to buy into the oracle-4-laifu thing.
pant, heave
I'll do the "time travel" thing (srsly?) and do side quests I guess. I don't think I like the disconnect between "free roaming" mode and "screw you we're a regular linear FF game now" switch.
