    Despite all the hateful comments about dificulty, the game has a great positive atmosphere where you can have great memorising experience. I'm not really familiar with other FF games except fifth one. but i must say i'm intrigued about the FF universe with this one.

    This game is great on the PC: running very high settings and averaging 75+ fps in battles and higher just roaming (1080p, not UHD). Everything looks beautiful, the game performs well, and I haven't had so much fun on a FF title since FF VII. Sure, the Honest Trailers gets it spot on, but that's not a bad thing in this case.

    My only gripe is with some of the control layouts they have for navigating the menus, but that can be re-assigned and anything else can get tweaked via mods. Definitely worth the wait. Those poor suckers and their consoles...    … Expand

    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.

    this is by far the best FF game i have ever played. the story has drawn me in, the graphics are amazing!! there are so many things you can do in the world and it feels alive with NPCs displaying animations in stunning quality. Only draw back for me is that I don't have a powerful enough GPU to run the game in Ultra settings. this game is a must for everyone who likes RPG games.

    The best version of FFXV, 60FPS max settings looks amazing. The addition of all the DLC and QoL updates in this make everything a much better experience than it was at launch. If you have a beefy PC then FFXV will shine even more so on your rig.

    Ну что, пришла пора обсудить такую великолепную игру как Final Fantasy XV, сразу хочу сказать что в те, типо старые классические и т.д. и т.п. я не играл и играть не собираюсь, как минимум из-за того, что пошаговая боевая система вызывает отторжение своей глупостью, но это проблема большинства таких игр, пожалуй тут только Персона 5 реально выходит вперед, но мы не о Персоне.

    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.

    An almost masterpiece!
    Graphics up first: The graphics are AMAZING, a true marvel, characters get wet on screen and menus, the water is so BEAUTIFUL, grass, lights, hair, fire, food, GOD, the food is so **** beautiful, this game makes me hungry! Summons, weapons, and the environments, sometimes I just stop and look at them. This is truly a GORGEOUS game.

Summons, weapons, and the environments, sometimes I just stop and look at them. This is truly a GORGEOUS game.
    Sound: The music is again masterful, they created a new soundtrack that will be remembered by fans and SPECIALLY by first timers, i loved the originals and the "not original" was so f***ing effective!!! 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.
    One of the best Final Fantasy! This game feels Final Fantasy through and through.
    If this is your first Final Fantasy, it could stay as your favourite.    … Expand

    Technically, it’s a very demanding game but oh boy does everything look so good.

    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

Leveling up and defeating any or all of the hunts is both not fun and a waste of time. Doing any of the side content removes you from the actual amazing story. You will never be under-leveled. (Sidebar: sometimes a side-quest will come up asking if you want to take a group photo or something like this - go ahead and do this. Just ignore the quest givers.) Second, ignore the magic system, sell all of your items and only purchase new weapons and restorative items. If you do both of these things, you'll complete the game in about 20 hours and have an incredible time. If you do all the side content and other nonsense; you'll probably find the game boring and repetitive.… Expand

    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.

    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.
