As A person who enjoyed FFXV and whom knee jerk said aloud, "the heck, it was" when I saw this video title, I want to say that I clicked through after all that jazz because I respect your thoughts and opinions on enough other topics that I was prepared to give you the chance to change my mind.
And while you didn't make me stop liking the parts of XV that I did like - just as you like aspects of the game, despite the flaws you saw with it - you helped show me how much better it could have been and articulated issues with it that I had but either didn't consciously notice or brushed over in favor of chasing the good bits.
