    Ich habe zuerst 7 Remake Intergrade gespielt und freue mich total auf die Fortsetzung. Anstatt durch abgegrenzte Gebiete zu laufen hat man hier eine Open World in der man nicht immer direkt überall hin sollte und manchmal auch viel zu starke Gegner an Orten sind, an die man aber auf jeden Fall schon soll.

    Ich möchte nicht für jedes Final Fantasy eine Open World, aber hin und wieder wäre das echt schön. Hat echt viel Spaß gemacht so viel Freiraum zu haben - auch beim Kämpfen! Muss nur halt nicht jedes Mal sein, aber die Konzepte von FF15 und FF7Remake gefallen mir enorm!

    Die Story war richtig gut, das Gameplay ist super, nur die Nebenmissionen waren echt zu viel. Man muss nicht unbedingt drei Auftraggeber nebeneinander stellen und jeder gibt dir nacheinander weg 3-5 Quests und dann oft einfach sammeln oder töten. Die könnte man besser von Stadt zu Stadt antreffen, sonst kommt es einem an einigen Tagen vor, als würde man nicht voran kommen.

    Sonst kann man echt nichts sagen, die Charakterstorys waren ziemlich cool und der DLC war auch klasse, schade, dass es die anderen nicht mehr gegeben hat.
    Jetzt spielen wir noch den Multiplayer durch, der ebenfalls zusammen echt bockt!    … Expand

    I'm currently FF VII Remake and I'm loving more and more FF XV, this one is faster, more emotional, the music simply wow, it's true that in the second part you feel that all was in a hurry, but still, what a bunch of epic moment, also I don't understand how people can say that FF VII Remake looks better, FF XV is far far above in graphics.

    es primera vez que juego un final fantay , lo que tengo entendido es que el XV es muy diferente a los anteriores , puedo decir que este juego es muy bueno ya que solo lo e jugado unas 57 horas en steam si me gustó mucho y el final es algo que no me lo esperaba , este final fantasy es muy bueno y en lo personal lo recomiendo si quieres empezar con la saga final fantasy

    Gameplay it's pretty good and combat feels solid, you have a huge over-world to explore with your party with a bunch of activities and epic boss fights to take on.

    The OST is outstanding a huge score that makes the game feel more epic than it actually is.

    In general terms this is a worthy FF not close to the likes of FFVI, VII or even X, but not that far either, most of the people who give pretty bad reviews are nostalf*gs that decided to stay in the 90's to me this game is a solid 8.5 on PC and an 8 on consoles.    … 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.

    8 out of 10. A great experience of a game but too basic for fans looking for something more complex and/or faster paced.    … 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.

    Now, this is the PC version I'm reviewing, and I'm sorry to the season pass holders on console who didn't get the royal edition for free. I think they should've. I'm also writing this after PAX. I now know there are 4 more expansions and comrades will be a standalone release soon. I also know about the modding tools and level editor coming this year. until then, my review is not final, and i will update it accordingly when all the content is done and dusted.    … Expand

    Find it difficult to justify a 10 for this game - there are certain quests that should be time reliant, such as the broken down car on the highway, took me 5 in game days to get around to clearing that from my journal and he was still there, waiting by his car.

That aside, this game is gorgeous. I'm running it on 4790k with 1070 and 16gig of ram and I'm getting 60fps on the highest settings. The story is great, I recommend watching Kingsglaive first as it means you start with the knowledge of the story they expect you to have. Otherwise it can be slightly confusing.

    Overall this is a very strong game. The combat takes some getting used to, unlike other Final Fantasy games, you're not in direct control of all party members so they don't always do as you'd expect, but over time you'll come to rely on their skills and they will save you from yourself when you charge in against 9 enemies. The soundtrack is sublime, listening to old FF games on the road is amazing. The car should offer more freedom, although it's understandable that they've not allowed GTA style freedom in going offroad. The side activities are fantastic, I've enjoyed Chocobo's and Fishing and Cooking and everything around they've left to do. It genuinely feels like a roadtrip with your mates, some side scenes and conversations that aren't essential just add to the game world.

    Overall, brilliant. The second half of the game (where you're on a more linear path) could do with some form of expanding, but overall it's a very, very good game.    … Expand

    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

    One of the best looking PC-Games to date. It's pretty well ported, with a few flaws.

    Le côté RPG n'est pas en reste, avec un arbre de compétences complet et diversifié, qui incite à la progression et à vouloir tenter des quêtes annexes.

    Côté quêtes et activités annexes, l'interêt est ... discutable, ça rajoute un peu de longueur au jeu clairement, mais pour la majorité rien de bien folichon. Toutefois, quelques quêtes annexes sont EXCELLENTES (mention spéciale aux Ruines de Pitioss, dont le level design m'a laissé un très bon souvenir)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got this game for free as a part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and decided I would give the game a try on my PC... It's REALLY good. This game seems to somehow keep me captivated the entire time I was playing, there wasn't ever a moment when I was playing just for the sake of getting to the next part of the game. This game heavily promoted exploration outside the main story as well with dungeons and 70+ side-quests to do. The dungeons on their own are fun on their own since a majority of them are optional and often times difficult, however the reward for completing them is well worth it, even if you only wish to play the game for the story. Every side-quest is fun and rewarding, and a lot of the time, completely unique as well; as well as enhancing parts of the game you wouldn't mess with otherwise. What I mean is, by doing side-quests related to Cindy you get parts to upgrade the Regalia which are fun customizations such as being able to go off-road and even JUMP with the vehicle, by doing side-quests related to Navyth you get fishing rods, lures, and reels, by doing side-quests from Dino you get equipment that helps over the course of the game such as boosting your stats more than most of the other equipment you find from just looting, and from doing side-quests from Cid you can upgrade weapons you get from other side-quests and from just looting. FFXV also has interesting gameplay elements on the side too like fishing which, as uninteresting as it was to me starting out, grew to be something I genuinely enjoyed as I completed more of the Navyth side-quests and unlocked dishes for Ignis to cook. The Cup Noodle side-quests are hilarious to go through as well because how forced the ad placement is, but nothing I would say needs to be removed since it's merely a side-quest.

    On to the main story/gameplay, it's pretty solid for the most part. The pre-rendered cutscenes are a straight 10/10 and the summons part of the game you unlock about a third of the way through are ALWAYS a spectacle to watch, they never grow old. The sound design is also fantastic and there isn't anything I can think of in my time playing FFXV that sounded out of place. I would've rated this game a 10/10 if it wasn't for the ending of the game from a gameplay-only perspective. Everything before Ifrit is great and should stay as is, but everything after just completely pales in comparison to the previous fight. While it's cool that these fights want you to play as the entire cast, (Gladiolus, Prompto, Ignis) it just feels out of place for these mini-bosses and ideally should've been saved for the fight with Ardyn in my opinion. The second of the 3 mini-bosses after Ifrit gave me a lot of issues for whatever reason as well and was the first and only time I died throughout the entire game on Normal difficulty, and was even harder than Ardyn himself, giving the player no time to breathe and when you are given time to breathe you have to literally take a shot in the dark to find her or risk being instantly wiped out with no chance to react when she decides to leave the shadows. The Ardyn fight was anti-climactic as well for something the entire game built up to. You pretty much just have to make a tricast spell with over 300 potency to completely decimate the first phase of the fight. The second phase is even easier, you only have to hold attack and OCCASIONALLY dodge Ardyn's attacks that hardly even hurt if you are hit. The last phase was also a joke literally requiring you to just hold attack and that's it. The actual ending to the story was great though and I have no problems with it.

    TL;DR game has fun side-quests to do, promotes open world exploration, a good story and visuals, but a lacking ending fight.    … Expand

The sacrifice that Noctis undertakes is so moving. Video games have come a long way in story telling. His brothers and their relationships with each other was incredible. The final image of Luna and Noctis together at their wedding just makes me believe in heaven and the afterlife so much more.

    Coming here after playing to FF7R, FF8, FF10, FF12 and FF14 (and of course this FF15).

    To be honest, the game isn't as bad as people say: the story could be better yet is not awful, the brotherhood relation is really heartwarming with good dialogues, interactions (during free-roam and battles) and I'm not gonna lie, I really appreciated the road trips with excellent music which were    Coming here after playing to FF7R, FF8, FF10, FF12 and FF14 (and of course this FF15).

At that point, every good writers and good game designers can do this, but not everyone can recreate the complex politic specific of the FF franchise and the super rich lore, but this is way to hard to understand for new comers, that's what FF15 wanted to do and that's the main reason the game failed: keeping a little bit of crystals, a little bit of lore and a little bit of politic. But by doing that, the game isn't as deep and complex as other Final Fantasy (just like in FF12 where every story detail is precious and important and you can find them in every corner of the game and you could actually feel the presence of the Imperial army in Dalmasca by watching how people live, how they're treated...) and FFXV become just... a cool fantasy game, that's all. After all, the urban fantasy subtheme is far to be a bad concept (FF7 is a urban fantasy right) and that's why FF13's hate is negociable. But some people struggle to understand that and feel like medieval fantasy is the only right option for FFs but we've seen that Final Fantasy Versus XIII could become a true masterpiece. To be honest, I would rather not give a rating since it can be loved by newcomers and hated by veterans so I give an 8 but just as a fantasy game not a true FF. Still, this is not a definitive lose for SE and I know they will come back in full force with Final Fantasy 16! Yoshi P is back with the biggest bosses of the FF franchise just like he did with FF14! Never forget, Final Fantasy is the real Pheonix!    … Expand

    Первая моя финалка со времен NES. Вообще по другому её себе представлял. Обзоры тогда ещё не смотрел.
    Игра понравилась, но боёвка и пустота мира удручали.
    Хорошее приключение в стиле роуд муви, где проникаешься каждым товарищем. Особенно зашел бой Игниса с Ардином в длц... Очень эмоциональный и сложный бой был... Просто словами не описать удовольствие от того боя.    Первая моя финалка со времен NES. Вообще по другому её себе представлял. Обзоры тогда ещё не смотрел.

    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.
