    It was my first real JRPG, I was introduced to the genre and for that I am grateful. The story is interesting to follow, fun, it has exciting points and some unexpected events, but it has holes, it becomes broken at the end and some points at the beginning of the story are kind of strange and could be better worked. The characters are cool but none of them are VERY cool or    448/5000

    Absolutely amazing game. With outstanding graphics, and really cool and fun gameplay.
    This game is an amazing journey, rich and spectacular, with cool Summons and amazing monster design.
    An awesome openworld game to explore with amazing Chocobos, or with the Regalia.

    Definitely my favorite game of the generation, and easily one of the best Final Fantasy game that I've ever played.

    I wanted to play this game so badly, but I just couldn't
    The game is incredibly badly optimized, mouse doesn't function properly and even crashes the game when you click
    Settings don't apply and going into gameplay it just randomly crashes

    I watched the movie and some recaps of the anime series to get deep into the story and lore, this was an awesome adventure, its an original and awesome game, one of the best games I have ever played. Not a perfect game, but for me this was a deep emotional adventure, so for that alone this game gets a 10.

    - you often have to travel long distances either by car or on foot, and that's tedious and boring as hell

    从FF13-V到FF15，十年的等待。要说值得多少也值得，要说失望多少也失望。先说优点吧。本作诺克特的战斗多少还原了十年前播片的感觉。幻影剑的各种攻击手段那是相当的酷炫。尤其是集合了十三把之后的真幻影剑简直就是万剑归宗。普通状态下瞬移攻击也颇有乐趣。本作的画质可以说是相当的优秀，无论是人物或是场景都可能是本世代最强之一。前半程的开放世界，我能想象到的最终幻想式的开放世界也不过如此，融合了现代建筑风格的写实与幻想世界的天马行空，如真亦如幻。另外一点很突出的就是美食的还原。然而本作的优势在开放世界旅程结束的那一瞬间也结束。后半程的体验真的是一言难尽。如果本作做完了野村所想亦或是由田畑从零开始打造开放世界最终幻想，结果都可能会不一样。遗憾即是如此。从FF13-V到FF15，十年的等待。要说值得多少也值得，要说失望多少也失望。先说优点吧。本作诺克特的战斗多少还原了十年前播片的感觉。幻影剑的各种攻击手段那是相当的酷炫。尤其是集合了十三把之后的真幻影剑简直就是万剑归宗。普通状态下瞬移攻击也颇有乐趣。本作的画质可以说是相当的优秀，无论是人物或是场景都可能是本世代最强之一。前半程的开放世界，我能想象到的最终幻想式的开放世界也不过如此，融合了现代建筑风格的写实与幻想世界的天马行空，如真亦如幻。另外一点很突出的就是美食的还原。然而本作的优势在开放世界旅程结束的那一瞬间也结束。后半程的体验真的是一言难尽。如果本作做完了野村所想亦或是由田畑从零开始打造开放世界最终幻想，结果都可能会不一样。遗憾即是如此。

    Nice one Square Enix. This is the first FInal Fantasy that really got me!
    Beautiful graphics and maybe the best sceneries I've seen to date.
    I think the open world aspect needs a lot more work, but it does the trick for now.

    ФФ 15 это воистину восхитительное и удивительное приключение, меньшего и сказать нельзя. Игра, своим великолепным сеттингом пусть и не уникально, но удивительно миксует в себе магию и технологические достижения, за одно это уже можно ставить 910.
    Музыка сделана очень достойно, я бы даже сказал круто.
    Визуально игра страдает, но это проблема консолей, а не игры. На ПК я думаю игра будет выглядеть просто великолепно.
    Сюжет в конце слегка разочаровывающий, но очень сильный и стройный, вначале позволяющий нерасторопно исследовать мир, а потом начиная адский круговорот событий, которые захватывают игрока настолько сильно, что оторваться почти невозможно.
    Боевая система на данный момент одна из лучший. Наравне с ней только новый Ассасин Ориджинс. Дерьмак 3 рядом со своими бесполезными комбо даже рядом не стоял.

Live and charismatic characters and a truly unique and fantastic villan are accompanied by one of the best OST I've ever heard. Really excellent experience.

You will find nothing but love poured into the smallest details, but the overarching narrative and gameplay concepts are so convoluted, bloated and disconnected that the result often seems like an elaborate joke.

    Controlling the game, especially it's menus and map, is riddled with useless extra steps and needless prompts, animated sequences and transitions. Travelling, moving around and exploring is barred by invisible borders, infuriating level design, stupid collision detection and random spawns.

    For several reasons you'll wish you would have taken the bus to your wedding. The godforsaken car will cost you more playtime than the main questline, and not just because half of the missions seem to deal with that stupid vehicle in one way or another. It runs on rails, stops whenever an enemy is approaching and throws you out, and you can't use it at night without getting the same unskippable warning from your manservant that riding the car at night is bad.

    This is only one of a thousand ways that your little team is going to annoy you, not because their little quirks aren't funny or cute or heartwarming, but because it all repeats over and over again. At the same time they often fail at basic pathfinding, stand around gawking during combat, talk about things that haven't yet happened or aren't happening anymore and therefore often seem oblivious and whiny. What should breathe life into your long travels, and is certainly needed (going from place A to place B will take up 90 % of your time) adds to the now infamous weirdness, but it's far less charming than people told me it would be.

    They are one of the many reasons why combat also is mainly an exercise in patience. It's yet another system that is riddled with several features and control schemes that are just getting into each other's way, and I have yet to fight a single battle where simple button mashing wasn't faster and easier (while manifesting in the same incomprehensible scores).

    The narrative however takes the cake. It has no structure, no pacing, no buildups, manages to be overly long and full of holes at the same time and seems to be hellbend on keeping the player in the dark at any time. It manages to introduce new characters and lore out of nowwhere and doesn't care about the contradictions and logical fallacies that kill the whole thing roughly 20 minutes in when your prince and his entourage fail to aquire the necessary funds to repair their car - in a world with phones, with the heir to the throne in their mids. The introduced story elements seem random and oftentimes agressivly out of place just to be forgotten or reinvented only minutes later.

    It certainly didn't help to cut huge chunks of said narrative out the game to put them into a (terrible) movie and resell them as DLC. For some reason this has not only been widely accepted by the fanbase of this franchise, but is even used as an excuse for the shortcomings.

    So if this is your first experience with that franchise, you might wanna drink some of that cool aid first. If you don't, you'll be left just as confused, annoyed and irritated as I was most of the time. After finishing this mess I think that maybe just making a game about a road trip of four friends to a wedding was the idea the developers actually liked, and deep down they did not want to make a fantasy rpg - because everything outside of that concept feels glued on, is full of tired tropes and oftentimes undercooked. And I think I would have liked that game better as well, as boring as it sounds.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically it's amazing, Soundtrack is awesome and I love the characters.

    Unfortunately the gameplay to me is where it lacks. It's too basic and most of the RPG elements are dumbed down heavily to what I call a button masher. That's my number one issue with this title. I expected alot more than just basics. It's all equipment stats and basic skill learning. Nothing really in depth. I expected learning heavy spells, learning complex builds, learning more combos and skills, etc. etc.

    The story was amazing up until after chapter 7 or 8 when it becomes a hallway and all freedom is gone. It looks like they could've done more with the game especially proven with the unfinished areas. I like it but it definitely could've been something grand.

    The quests and the traveling I really love with this game though.
    Optimization on this title is about average and can be better.
    Voice acting is suberb (Both ENG and JP) and I never got tired of Ignis's British accent. I loved it from beginning to end.

    I'm gonna keep this review short though. Long story short they should've left more development time to finish the work that was needed and gave us the unfinished regions. I still think today we should get all that missing stuff from XV as DLC because it's a shame. I would love for them to add new content for the game. Initially 60 dollar title was worth every penny for what it was but I feel like they could've done alot more too.

    I found Final Fantasy XV a wonderful experience.

    It is a game that brings together the strong emotions of a trip with your friends, exposing them in a spectacular and exciting way. The gameplay is very rich, fun, and very varied, also thanks to the different fighting styles used by the 4 protagonists. Exceptional Summons, wonderful Lore, and    I found Final Fantasy XV a wonderful experience.

    Final Fantasy XV is a very ambitious game.
    The biggest Final Fantasy made, and one of the largest universes to know and explore.
    His gameplay is exceptional, his story is sublime, especially thanks to the excellent protagonists created, and Lore is epic. The OST is probably the best ever made for a Final Fantasy.

    Unfinished game.
    The characters are a delight to watch.
    Openworld is great
    Combat is just... There. 0 depth, 0 strategy. Have fun holding the same button for the whole game.
    Story is ass.
    10/10 ambiance.
    Music is pure bliss.
    If the quality of the first half of the game carried over to the other then this would be an easy 10 overall.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is absolutely great, the sinergy between main characters is so real! It's not a common love story, it's a rlationship between friends and loyalty. And a lot of humor.
    I like you can play little games into the main game, like taking photos, fishing...
    Also there are a few things that I dislike. Controls for pc are just absurd, instead combining them, there are a few different key combinations for everything, combats, moving, dodging, picture taking, albums and everything. It kills the great experience of the game. I also have problems with graphics, my mashine is pretty strong with good videocard, but no matter what resolution I choose some objects are very bad, like тheir hair, they move and it leаve white track. I never had that problem with other games.
    I surely have to say I hate the original final. I prefer any of the alternative ones. So the good guy had to die no matter he killed the bad guy? Just to make fans cry - kill the king, then make them love the prince, then kill him too. It really broke my heart watching Noctis die. Or Ignis losing his sight.
    And that end after that - japanese always make some happy wannabe endings what would happen if things went other way. Well it was even worst.    … Expand

The combat was really fun but that levelling thing sort messes with that as well. Had they just put in the time to fill out the world they made it could have been a masterpiece. I mean they could have at least done NPC quests to give flavor to each one, i know there are DLC of them but that is after the main story. After I was done I didnt want to do the DLC or even go back, you will understand if you play. IF you are really into it, do EVERY sidequest before chapter 9, story wise it makes more sense. It could have been a true masterpiece had they just crafted the game that was already there, its sad really, a waste of such potential. The music really gets you into it and sticks with you, the car cruises, if it was heading toward masterful quests which built the world up well that would have been absolutely brilliant.

    This game gets a lot of hate but I feel it's unjustified. It's a large open world with incredible views. The story is fragmented and the difficulty isn't there. However, it does redeem itself. The main group of characters is charming and it's a visual spectacle. This one will be with me for a long time.

    I highly recommend playing it. Just get it on sale.

    The game is clearly unfinished, even with DLC. A hallmark of the game is the camping, cooking, driving the car around... all of that is gone about halfway through. The rest of the game doesn't really have towns or driving, any of that. The first half is well thought out, well conceived, polished, clearly complete, the latter half is not.

    My verdict is that this is a horrible game, and a complete waste of time and money. Throughout the game you feel as if you’re building to something, and then it is all for naught, as if 300 of your precious hours were thrown in a dumpster, and then the garbage truck that was supposed to pick it up crashes into your car.

Throughout the game you feel as if you’re building to something, and then it is all for naught, as if 300 of your precious hours were thrown in a dumpster, and then the garbage truck that was supposed to pick it up crashes into your car.

    Square Enix had 10 years to develop this game and they screwed up,it just perfectly shows how disorganized and lazy they are. And as a last kick in the balls, SE also betrayed the trust of their own costumers by cancelling 3 needed episodes to complete the Story. It's almost as if they've lost the ability to tell a story. That's what was so great about all the other games. Either they really do lack creativity or they are now focusing on making the most profit with cash grabs ala Konami/EA/Activision/Blizzard nowadays.

    The Story is a stupidly melodramatic trainwreck.
    I watched FFXV Kingsglaive before playing this game. I thought it was a pretty great setup for the story, and I loved how it tied in with the beginning of the game. I had great expectations and honestly bought the game because of the movie. As you start playing the game, there is a lot of potential for the plot, the characters, and so on. It is as if Square Enix has lost the ability to tell a story.

    And in regards to DLC, they are even worse than EA as SquareEnix rips you off with small short DLC for bigger prices. See Rise of the Tomb Raider or Mankind Divided. At least EA DLC many times have substance behind them. They have the worst Season Passes in gaming by far.
    I feel like it’s also important to note that the actual main story quest is insanely short. Skipping the other stuff, this is probably a 15 hour game tops. And them looking at episodic games is just going to end in disaster, with them failing to understand how it works or even how Life is Strange succeeded (okay, they made a great move publishing that game and allowed DONTNOD to go with their vision, but really, EA would have let them do the same thing here).

    Magic. Magic feels pointless. Creating spells feels like a dud, crafting spells with items is not explained and not intuitive, the idea that you need to create a random elemental casting spell to get the highest damage is dumb, and I couldn’t even understand who or what was being damaged when spells were cast.
    Equipment. In every single Final Fantasy game, I’ve felt a significant difference when putting on new equipment and new weapons. In this one I have felt absolutely zero impact. Even if I put on a Magitek Suit for another 1000HP which sounds like a lot, the endless dodging, blocking and Hi-Potions and Hi-Elixers make it a totally moot point. In other games there’s very valuable and rewarding items that are usually acquired through difficult quests.

    Quests: Now due to the uselessness of the equipment, the quests were just plain stupid. There was not a single quest that was rewarding. The difficulty level for all the dungeons are absurdly low. They are just time consuming, have an easy boss at the end, and do not yield any good weapons or equipment. All the other side-quests too have pointless rewards, are time consuming, and do not add to the story in the slightest. Also, THEY ARE NOT FUN.

    The World: Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. The Map is huge yet we only get to acess 1/3 of the world map, were SE really so lazy not to finish the entire world map or was is stupidity? The world looks good and beaitiful but there is little to do.

    Microtransactions, releasing unfinished games, DLC nickel and diming, franchise whoring, development hell, and then writing off franchises because they failed due to their own actions.

    FFXV is a poster child of everything wrong with the industry, big budget AAA games that ship unfinished, lack direction other than its size, and the critics who willingly overlook its flaws because of the brand.    … Expand

All the elements feel and sound the way they should, with different sounds for different types of enemies, making them more real.
    Voice-acting: SUPERB!!! Aside some few voices that felt really rushed by some no name extras the rest was really well done!!
    Combat is fluid and fast, it will make you falter in the beginning but after a while you will get used to it's fast paced brawl and face all the challenges the game gives you. Bosses get progressively difficult and the challenge the game gives you seems fair. Some choices of style so the combat does not feels forced.
    The story has it's problems but few and far between, the whole package is MASTERFUL and MEMORABLE!! The journey that you go through is really good, and has layers upon layers of development to the characters, epic moments FEEL epic! The romance felt a little under developed but my only true complain. The game knows that the best part of it are the 4 main characters and thrives on it!! Everything around them is a piece of art. You can have a favourite, but all of them do seem to complete each other.

    - Buen sistema de combate, sencillo pero adictivo.
    - Gran sistema de progresión y sensación de ir mejorando.
    - Gran número de parámetros, estadísticas y equipo que influye en la partida.
    - Acabado visual con muy buen gusto, con algunas localizaciones sorprendentes e impactantes.
    - Apartado sonoro excelente, con especial mención a ciertas piezas musicales.
    - Personajes principales con gran carisma, pero totalmente desaprovechados a raíz de la trama.
    - Variedad enorme de monstruos y enemigos y un diseño de los mismos espectacular.
    - Gran número de añadidos en forma de minijuegos, batidas de caza, zonas secretas y en definitiva bastantes cosas que hacer.
    - Funcionamiento correcto en PC. Algunos problemas de rendimiento en determinadas zonas, pero buen port en general.

    PUNTOS EN CONTRA:

    - Hilo argumental muy muy pobre, al igual que la narrativa.
    - Capítulos muy descompensados y algunos aburridos en un tramo final de historia totalmente atropellado.
    - Misiones secundarias de relleno y de recadero. Insufribles.
    - El antagonista deja bastante que desear, así como la contextualización de todo lo que ocurre.
    - En un juego en el que debería primar la narrativa, el mundo abierto le resta gran parte de la intensidad.
    - Pésimo uso de las invocaciones.
    - El sistema de magia es totalmente prescindible para avanzar en el juego.
    - La cámara es simplemente nefasta. A veces no sabes ni donde está el personaje o qué está pasando en los combates.

    CONCLUSIÓN:

    Estamos ante un muy buen juego en casi todos sus aspectos, divertido a nivel jugable y bastante adictivo. Pero el nombre que lleva es "Final Fantasy", y esto le obliga a contarnos algo épico, algo que trascienda y algo que emocione, y para mi este juego no cumple con esto. El esqueleto es magnífico, pero le falta la parte más importante, el alma. En condiciones normales un juego como este tendría una nota más alta, pero considero que este factor es tan importante en este tipo de juegos que su carencia repercute mucho en su valoración final. A pesar de todo merece la pena jugarlo, pero me deja la sensación de oportunidad desaprovechada.

Pero que importa; la historia es buena, emotiva y en ciertos momentos muy épica y espectacular; el villano principal es el carisma en persona y tiene un trasfondo muy interesante; aunque al principio pareciera lo opuesto son los 3 amigos quienes hacen la mayor parte de la aventura y si tienen un problema es que te interesa saber más y más sobre ellos que el juego aporta pero a medias; las misiones secundarias repiten mucho pero suelen llevarte a cosas interesantes del mundo; la jugabilidad es muy entretenida, frennetica y con una profundidad decente; el mapa es hermoso y enorme, tecnicamente rinde bastante bien para lo que se ve el juego, en algunas ocasiones casi fotorrealista.

The main plot of Final Fantasy XV can be completed in under 20 hours, but with all of its sidequest content, including the end-game dungeons, the game stretches out to as much as 140 hours in length. For reference, if you were to do nothing but play this game, 24 hours a day, it would take you about six days to complete all of that content; if you were to play it for 3 hours an evening, it would take you a month and a half to complete. And yet, the main plot could be comfortably completed within a single weekend, and possibly within a single day, were you truly determined to beat it.

    It is a truism that in most open-world games, the core plot of the game is its strongest point, and the side content is largely repetitive nonsense.

    Final Fantasy XV differs from most games; the open-world content is actually the game’s strongest point.

    But this is not a good thing, as its open-world content is still deeply flawed; it is simply that the main plot is a disaster.

    This is a game that was stitched together from parts, and it shows. Fans were eager for Final Fantasy XIII Versus, and when it turned into Final Fantasy XV, they were still eager – even a decade after its initial tease.

    But the fact that the game took a decade to create really shows just how large its problems were; indeed, the game we played nearly all dates from after 2012, but it tried to preserve many aspects of Final Fantasy XIII Versus.

    It shouldn’t have tried, as the parts which were the holdover from the original version of the game are the worst parts, and don’t fit well with the rest of it.

    There's only one way in which the game realy shines - the core gameplay loop, of camping, cooking food, going out and doing content while driving around in your car to get from destination to destination, then calling it a night, cashing in your experience to level up, and looking over the photographs of the day really works well. It creates a sense of a journey, of a road trip, and it works great.

    The main cast of characters - Noctis, Gladio, Prompto, and Ignis - work really well together, and feel like genuine comrades.

    But the rest of the game is a total mess. The main plot is badly paced, emotionally incoherent, introduces characters who never get any sort of proper payoff, and feels totally disconnected from the open world gameplay, where no one really seems to care about who Prince Noctis is. You don't really build an emotional connection with Lunafreya, Noctis's primary love interest, or his homeland of Insomnia, nor his father, who barely shows up at all, despite all of these things being supposed to impact the player heavily emotionally.

    The combat is terrible - the warp strike ability is crushingly overpowered, and can be used to solve virtually every combat encounter in exactly the same way. Your magic spells are overpowered as well, and the fact that you can use items at any time means that even if you do somehow go down, you won't be staying down - after all, you've got hundreds of items to keep you and your allies on their feet. There is pretty good enemy variety, but it just doesn't matter because you can win every encounter without varying your strategy significantly - all but two or three post-game bosses can be solved in the exact same way.

    The core plot is terrible, the combat is terrible, and the sidequests are mostly terrible. The game has some interesting ideas, but it executes them very poorly, and its emotional notes don’t work at all. The game is enormously long, but is mostly just repetitive, and I regret spending so much of my free time on it – I could have done so many more interesting things with my time, but I kept trying to push on, trying to find the fun, because I wanted to like the game.

    But I just couldn’t. The game just never comes together.

    At the start of the game, the characters run out of gas, and push their car to the gas station, while “Stand By Me” plays in the background. This is an excellent character and tone defining moment, and it starts the game off quite strong. I wanted to love this game – this game about four friends working together.

    But I can’t stand by Square on this one.    … Expand

I want to care more about its characters, but a lot of stuff isn't put together well. Their character depth is explored in expansions that should be played in certain points in the game but are relegated to the DLC section, making it a jarring and confused experience. There's an Anime, some text scripts and a Movie, but none are bundled with the game. It's a great port, with solid compatibility and scaling. The story is broken and convoluted, but holds emotional weight. The voice acting is like a sine wave, going between serviceable to annoying and repetitive, sometimes even out of touch and inhuman, to fantastic dialogue that really show the depth of each character. The endgame is great, but there's almost no guidance to any of it. The music is amazing, but the car radio is terrible and doesn't feel like part of the world. Every good thing seems flawed with something else that had to be broken in some other way.

    What I was disappointed about is how much work went into making sure the environments felt so smoothed out and detailed, that the characters so obviously lack the same detail (except for the hair and clothes). When the camera closes up on their faces... sure, there are pores - as with any other HD/4K game - but beyond that, the eyes look as dead as they do in the PS4 version. Except of course, that because everything else looks so great, the deadness of the eyes is now so much more obvious. This is one of the few things that bothered me, because so many conversations make use of "screen time" and you just want to see characters who feel alive... but nope... they look dead.

    Other things regarding the same issue has to do with the reworking they did on their skin... it causes blemishes or lines to look really odd because the textures themselves were not all completely reworked. It's so odd, what SE decided to do with this.

    That being said - WONDERFUL game, and an even greater joy to play with these incredible draw distances and detail... the sunlight now actually looks tropical, or desert-like, etc; it's crazy!    … Expand

    The plot is a boring mess that was possibly acceptable for a game that was released 30 years, but by today's standards the writing and pacing are slopping at best.
    The combat is messy and uneven.

Other times the combat was ending so quickly that I didn't even understand why it needed to be there at all.
    The open world is one of the most boring ones I have ever seen. Empty and dull. But I must say that I might be biased on this one.

My advice: just focus on the main story and if you happen to stumble with one of those funny elements in your way, by all means enjoy. The side quests are no better and seem to be taken from a mmorpg (go here and kill these bugs or collect these objects), lacking any narrative to them, and so I had to pretend they didn’t exist and totaly ignored them from chapter 3 onwards, really. To compensate (a little bit) for this lackluster boring world, the enligsh dubbing was really good and the FF-style music didn’t disappoint.

    Gameplay: likely the best about the game is its combat system which never gets boring and slowly grows more technical and flashy, just at the right peace, if only I’ve always felt everything was a little too easy, despite playing in the maximum difficulty. Sadly, the combat is the only outstanding element of the whole (game)play. Once you finish a battle, things get boring pretty fast and they can be summarized in auto-driving the car, often going over and over to places you have already been, with nothing to do in between this drives, in a world that is so full of barriers (both invisible and physical) that makes you wonder if you can really call it “open world” to begin with.

    Story: now, if the world is not well thought out, the story is even less, which you can imagine is quite a disappointment, knowing that the Final Fantasy franchise is known for its amazing narratives. How to explain. The adventure looks good in the surface and promising at the start (yes, so did the map) and there are some flashy moments here and there that caught my attention, but once you step back a little and ponder, you realize the whole thing is just too shallow (again, like the world), the storyline never gets to take off and honestly, it barely holds together, constantly resorting to far-fetched plot devices to move itself forward, often initiating or ending events without explanation (or with really unconvincing ones) instead of coherently chaining them with elegance just as a Final Fantasy should. Regarding the characters, including the protagonist and his friends, it is sufficient to say that they are surrounded by such an air of frivolousness that it made me difficult, almost impossible, to connect with them emotionally, despite the tons and tons of camera time they get. Things get more climatic in the very last chapter, but one chapter alone can not make up for 40 hours of inconsistencies.

    So, how good it is? Well, as a game: an ok experience. As a Final Fantasy? Certainly lackluster. 7.5/10    … Expand

    If FFXV had come out like this sans the DLC, it would have been more positively recieved. That being said, I loved this game on PS4 for the open world road trip experience and disliked it for story missteps. Overall though, it was a positive experience.

    An excellent port to an excellent game. Luckily SE decided to drop off their habit of lazy port. But they **** up Chrono Trigger

    As much as I'd love to like this game, I feel it's just not acceptable as a JRPG. It feels like in their effort to make the game more "accessible" they also gutted the major components that make RPGs what they are- namely the complexity of the combat and the progression system. -In FF15, it feels like you're stuck with one character with a warp strike ability and nothing really deeper.

If you master the character at lvl 1 you can expect pretty much more of the same as you progress (there is some progression but not enough variety).

    Other things I really don't like: only 4 characters (all emo looking douchebags IMO) and absolutely no hard mode. I'm not sure why any RPG or action game would ship out without some sort of difficulty mode besides normal and easy when the systems in place are so simplistic. Pretty much warp around to win. Why should I have to fight monsters 30+ levels higher than me in order to have any sort of challenge? Why isn't there more varied attacks like allowing my button mashing to be more dynamic and interactive? Why is it that I just hold the attack button? Where's the motivation to get stronger if everything is easy?

    *Please note that I don't buy games for their story, combat is more important to me as that's where I'll be spending 90% of my time. As far as I'm concerned, the combat here is less deep than Bouncer (Square's beat'm up from 2000). Sure, FFXV looks pretty but I don't give a **** about graphics if the complexity of an RPG isn't there. The sad thing is that I think it's not even complex enough as an action game, at least in good action games you usually learn more moves as you progress and the fights become more strategic and complex as you go.    … Expand

    Best version of the game yet. Looks a lot better on a decent gaming rig as compared to console.
    Technically, it’s a very demanding game but oh boy does everything look so good.
    Square Enix chose to implement GameWorks, of which I’m usually not a fan. That said, even on AMD hardware, the grass and hair effects are doable performance wise. There’s even VXAO but that seems way too demanding    Best version of the game yet. Looks a lot better on a decent gaming rig as compared to console.

    All in all, this is a surprisingly solid PC port that comes with all the extra DLC from the consoles for an even lower price. This feels like a truly next gen rpg with, arguably and given you have a decent gaming rig, the absolute best looking open world so far. That title was reserved for AC:O but, with all the extra effects and 4K textures this game had me staring at my screen with my mouth wide open.

    This game looks seriously photo-real at times and that is a remarkable achievement! In fact, at times it’s hard to see when a scene goes from in game rendering to full on CGI movie, and that only attests to the quality of the in game renders as the CGI looks superb.

    Good job SE for creating a solid PC port for once. I’m hooked and honestly believe this is a game everyone with a decent gaming rig should own.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy XV may not feel like an older game from the franchise, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I grew up with the older Final Fantasy game and while XV is different, that doesn't make it a bad game in the franchise. I enjoyed my time spent in game and look forward to doing more.

    While FFXV is at times engrossing and beautiful, it can also feel like a pretty, hollow shell. The last quarter of the game feels rushed, as if the developers had to wrap things up under pressure, and that's after waiting over a decade for this to come out. While it is not the stellar titan we hoped for, it's certainly Final Fantasy, and we can all be thankful for that.

    The PC port of Final Fantasy 15 is a monster regarding scope, but the gameplay isn't on par with older series milestones.
