so. final fantasy xv.
i don't exactly recall the details about how i got a copy, but i remember really getting excited when our mall got a royal edition copy for relatively cheap and i really really digged the way noctis warped around to fight people so i thought "cool. why not"

what i didn't expect was to get hit so hard with this ever looming feeling of familiarity with the four guys i'd spend the most time with in that game. and it's already been three years since i last played ffxv
whenever i happen to pass by content it all comes back and hits hard

honestly it had the best timing i could ever ask for when i played it.. back at the time i still didn't have a clear grasp on who my friends really were and my relationship with my family was super messy so the comfort of getting to hang out with the gang for late nights was nice
it was.. comforting
until that final act hits and i just remember. crying at the credits
because that was time i had to say goodbye to the first bunch of people i really got to care about.. my own kind of family

i've never really gotten to make myself cry that easily over emotional stuff but for some reason this big. band of idiots made me start tearing up as florence's stand by me cover played in the background. and yeah,, seeing the opening again isolated was just the cherry on top.
there's a bunch of other things i just can't get from other games too. the silent but effortlessly meaningful car rides.. the tiny banter between the gang and just their dynamic in general. it had a shitton of flaws in some places but god if it wasn't perfect for me
they made a game with the best balance of action and.. silence. meaningful silence. it felt human as hell
and god don't get me started on that one major beat at the end of the game. that made me sit in front of the screen and just start grinning like crazy cause god fuck,

it isn't like undertale was for me when it finally gave me people i still call family. it isn't like p5 where i was super engaged on the story and its mechanics, and the characters too
it isn't like kh in general and how it showed just how much love. is
but it didn't have to be

what ffxv showed me was the first glimpse i'd ever get at just how comfy it'd be to go on a road trip with the people you treasure the most. people you love and care for
ffxv showed me how ugly conflicts can happen midway, and sometimes things just break apart

but god if it didn't end on a high note. and it did. at the end of the day, they really were just friends on a road trip.. and that message can't easily be seen anywhere else
and prompto.. god just. all of his character is so soft and so so close to home
