Final Fantasy 15
It’s no secret that Final Fantasy 15’s story was fractured during its many years of development, especially with various DLC explaining what different party members went through, the Kingsglaive movie and whatnot. But for fans who waited for the newest mainline Final Fantasy title in years, there was simply the anticipation for some kind of pay-off to the story. When the final battle rolls around, Noctis is reunited with his friends after 10 years of being trapped in the Crystal, defeats Ardyn and then cleanses the Starscourge, ridding the world of Daemons at the cost of his own life. Cut to the afterlife which sees Noctis and Lunafreya reunited and in love. Which sounds well and good with all the struggles they went through individually but given how little they interacted, their “happily ever after” didn’t feel earned. Subsequent story updates and DLC helped to round out the overall story but this part of the ending still felt a bit rough.
