I still have the official X-2 guide from over a decade ago and it's extremely helpful, one of the best and most complete guides I've ever read.

My friend gave me her FFX one a while back and lemme tell you, that one's garbage. Has some incorrect information and leaves a lot out.

I hope it isn't bad that I'm just using the special dress spheres to get through the battles?!

That one seems so much better and in depth than this internet one I'm looking at. It basically goes "use thunder attacks" and that's it.

Tabata wants the players to cry by the end of Final Fantasy XV and he would like the game to have a similar impact on fans as Final Fantasy VII had.

In the April 2016 issue of Game Informer magazine, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata expressed that he hopes that the ending of the game will make players cry. He says fans who devote so much time playing the game deserve to get an emotional ending.

“I want to create a very emotional ending to the game and want to make as many people cry as possible,” he told Game Informer. “You’re spending so many hours playing the game, so when I finish a game and it ends on a sour note and it doesn’t move me, it gets me disappointed. At least make me cry or give me some emotion! I want to give a moving ending for the consumers who invest so much time.”

He later moved on to say that he also hopes that Final Fantasy XV will have a similar impact in the community that Final Fantasy VII had.

“There are some team members that were here for VII,” he said. “They’re taking on the challenge of trying to exceed that title once more, which is a great motivator for them. FFVII sets a very high goal for us, but it serves as a good goal. It brought in new audiences, sales, and more.”

I dunno about you guys, but if the director feels the need to tell their players in an interview that they hope we'll cry and have the same emotional impact that FF7 had given us back then, chances are most players won't (Personally, I was more emotionally moved by FF6 and Celes's moments in Solitary Island, Gau's reunion with his father, and of course, the ending itself... no interview required).

If anything, reading this interview potentially kills any shock value the game could've given us, and now players will anticipate that. I don't recall people saying all that in interviews for past FF games, so why now? Do they have that little faith this game will do exceptionally well? I don't get it.

I'm getting the gut feeling that XV will be XIII 2.0, a niche number will love it while a good majority will either hate it or be disappointed in it.

Well, Tabata was also the director of Crisis Core and apparently parts of that game were very moving and deeply sad. I neve played it, but many people thought so. :/

Calling it now! Noctis/Luna dies by the end.

I think he should have just kept his mouth shut and not have said anything. Especially about the ending. Now people will be expecting a sad ending. I kind of expected as much though considering how dark the general feel of the game has been so far. I don't think I'd go as far as to call it a spoiler though because it seemed clear already.

Why the hell would he say that? The beautiful aspect of emotional/sad endings is not expecting them. Now that he confirmed it, don't expect me to shed a tear lol.... Who am i kidding, i probably will anyway (or almost) because i'm easily moved, especially when party members die D:

Actually, he didn't say the ending would be sad/negative...it could also be moving in another way. So it's not really a spoiler either way...

I sometimes cry on happy endings. ;)

Yeah actually I didn't consider that it could be like these characters struggled and fought and here's there happy ending as a reward and then you'll cry because your happy for them.

Lol yeah I'll probably get emotional whatever the ending is. XIII's ending made me cry because of how happy every one was ( especially Lighting because she never smiles ) which leads back to what Tyaren was saying.

Yeah, i didn't consider the possibility of an emotional happy ending :s
XIII's ending was actually more sad than happy to me, but maybe that's because i liked Fang and Vanille better than the others xD

And how f***** up it actually was, when XIII-2 revealed that everything went to hell for two more games right after that supposedly happy ending . :/

Yeah as much as I liked XIII-2 it really ruined a great ending!

The ending could be considered bittersweet then cause I liked Vanille and Fang too. At least in the end they all became happy in the new world.

I like to think that that's canon and that Lighting is supposed to just be in our world. Because its clearly Earth she's on and it says something like "this happened before you were born". So the ending is actually really meta.
