Final Fantasy XV frustration?

I think it's safe to say that most people that bought Final Fantasy XV love playing the game. Why? Because it's a fun open world game that let's you do all kinds of things and it's all so smooth and fast. But does that make the game perfect? No, because no game is perfect and Final Fantasy XV definitely has some issues. I'm not trying to whine about things but just mention things that bother me and I think that should've been different.


Enemies out of nowhere.


This is really frustrating when you're in a difficult battle, you're just barely getting the upper hand and then out of nowhere a new group of enemies suddenly joins the fight making it almost impossible to win. If this happens once or twice then that sucks, but when this happens ten or twenty times on one day then you get sick and tired of it! It's great that you can pick your own fights but sometimes you seem to be forced in more fights, which is frustrating and also annoying. What often happens are the enemies from the dropships that seem to always be above your head and seem to always drop enemies when you're trying to pick up a quest item or when you fight other enemies. This is extremely annoying!


Unable to do anything when spotted by enemies.


This seems like a minor issue but when you need to pick up an item for a mission and you can't because a group of enemies just happens to spot you, like the red circle of their awareness just touches your location then that can be frustrating because then you first have to battle the enemies before you can pick up an item. This isn't a big deal when it's a small low level group, but facing a lot of high level enemies it gets really annoying!


High level enemies in your way.


I seriously dislike it when games put high level enemies right in the path of a mission, which means you either have to deal with the enemy (which is often instant death) or try to get around the enemy (which is sometimes impossible because of the environment). For a level 19 mission I have to get to a waterfall but on the path to the waterfall there is a giant snake waiting, this giant snake is level 54, so fighting that isn't an option but sneaking past it is also difficult because the path pretty much forces you to get in the circle of awareness of the creature. If you're quick you can get past it but it's still annoying. The worst are the enemies from the drop ships, because these you can't really avoid and will drop out of nowhere on your head and if they're a much higher level than you then it will be very tough to beat them. What's worse is that they will keep spawning, so beat one group and the next group will be there within 30 seconds. So you better find what you were looking for or run because things will go from bad to worse.


Does this make the game bad?


No this doesn't make the game bad, it's just frustration that makes playing the game less fun and more frustrating. I find this a real shame because the game could've been so much more fun if you didn't have these frustrating things in it. I know that some games offer a challenge but when I play on normal I don't want to fight for my life every time I'm trying to complete a side quest or just have fun exploring. I understand that no game can be perfect but it sure would've been nice if some of these issues were different or just not an issue at all. Well maybe that's something for the next Final Fantasy, but for now it's just a frustrating game at times. I'm not even talking about the repetitive missions or how the camera sometimes gets stuck after a conversation with a npc. I understand there are bugs and that certain things are just the way they are, but sometimes I just wish things were a bit different. Less frustrating and more fun, is that really too much to ask for?
