FFXV was meant to be my resurgent love for the Final Fantasy series. I loved VII, VIII and IX so much growing up, before moving away from the franchise to play FPS games and consume energy drinks with my spotty friends.

A friend loaned me FFXV and I legitimately gave up at the tutorial phase of figuring out how to make the dude zip to his sword after he's thrown it away/at an enemy/into a bush. I couldn't do it. No idea why. Button bindings? I'm an idiot? Glitch? I hung onto the game for the better part of 2 years, and my friend finally came round to pick it up last week. I didn't have the heart to tell him I made it five minutes in before rage quitting the tutorial, when I can speedrun a Dark Souls game..

Fuck it I'm going to play Inquisition. Something simple sounds good. Something possibly written by an AI sounds hilarious.
