Quick Thoughts on Episode Prompto
(no major spoilers, but some gameplay and little story things, you’ve been warned)
It definitely felt more fleshed out than Episode Gladiolus, that’s for sure. The environments felt more varied and much more interesting.
The combat was cool, once you got used to the weird controls (shooting with R1? recovery items with R2? can’t tell you how many times I tried to snipe an MT only to almost accidentally consume a potion). I liked the use of different weapons, even though some felt overpowered compared to others (coughcough Sniper). Playing as Prompto made me feel much more vulnerable than playing as Noct or Gladio, which I think added a welcome layer of difficulty.
I did want them to show Prompto being kidnapped by Ardyn at the end there, as I honestly thought more of this would have been centered around that but eh whatever.
Story felt a bit rushed, but I understand that they have to keep the DLC to a certain length. Was expecting a bigger reveal on Prompto’s “father,” though.
Aranea is a boss ass bitch but this isn’t news to anyone. I love her and you should too.
I knew that teaser trailer was coming in the end and I knew what was in it but I still screeched when I saw my love’s face pressed into the ground. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO HIM YOU MONSTERS. DECEMBER COME FASTER PLZ.
