For such a demanding playthrough, the process seems pretty haphazard. Bloodborne is a game full of difficult dodging and perfectly timed attacks. Final Fantasy XV proves to be a lot clumsier. BOYvsVIDEOGAME gets smacked around a lot, desperately working his way to victory over difficult enemies.

“The combat is, fucking, so stupid,” he says during a battle against a dangerous behemoth king. “Goofy combat.”

Still, for a game with goofy combat he manages to make it work and find optimal strategies. Using skills like Gladio’s Tempest, he’s able to get in position for sneaky back attacks. Ignis’ Overwhelm ability also allows for a considerable amount of damage and proves vital through the run. Using well timed pauses, he’s also able to slip through enemy hitboxes to occasionally avoid attacks.

It takes nine hours and twenty-six seconds for him to clear the main quest and reach the credits. A time that is still better than the near thirty hours I spent on my first playthrough. He accrues 266,566 points of experience that he never spends. You can watch the final boss fight here if you’re not worried about spoilers.

In general, BOYvsVIDEOGAME is pretty grumpy throughout his playthrough. As the credits end and the game says “fin” he offers a parting thought on his experiences.

“Fin? Fin?” he asks. “Not even that good of a story. You don’t deserve a fin.”
