    Been playing this for about 4-5 hours before. A bit disappointing but still keeps the same fun battle gameplay. I don't know why, but I expected an open world multiplayer game during the time period when it's dark, where we encounter other players in the open world to do battles with, but instead you have your base in a solo instance, and the rest is instanced areas with other playersBeen playing this for about 4-5 hours before. A bit disappointing but still keeps the same fun battle gameplay. I don't know why, but I expected an open world multiplayer game during the time period when it's dark, where we encounter other players in the open world to do battles with, but instead you have your base in a solo instance, and the rest is instanced areas with other players online or by recruiting A.I.s in which you don't need PS+ for. I'm pretty sure you can do the whole story this way solo for now, as far as I can see.

    The most annoying thing so far are the escort fights just like in any online game or any game for that matter, since some of the things you have to protect can die so fast or easily, especially the one where you can't let the small ixion-like monsters escape. Let two escape and your target to protect's HP reaches 0, and it's not exactly easy to stop these guys in their track, at least not with yourself and A.I.s.

    Other than that, I feel like this will answer some questions as we progress through the story. The graphics and character customization is good, the music is quite good, but the game in general seems to get repetitive and somewhat dull.

    I gave FFXV a 10/10 despite most people disliking the game, but for this I have to bump the score down to a 7 because of a few nitpickings I have.    … Expand

    In the end, Comrades feels like the missing puzzle piece of Final Fantasy XV. Not only does it plug a narrative hole, it does so with coherency and commitment to its end-of-the-world bit. Yes, the multiplayer itself is over simplistic and you can actually play the expansion without interacting with others — but then you’re missing the point of story Comrades is trying to tell.

    Why did Square Enix bother to work on an online version of Final Fantasy XV ? Comrades just cuts short the open fights of the main game, taking off its charming exploration part. Naked as a baby, the adventure only serves four-players redundant fights, only if you survived the long lobby waiting. Only the hardcore dying fans of the Eos universe should spend some good time playing it.

    There’s definite potential to be found in Comrades, as when you get a decent team behind you and you’re taking on all manner of beasts it really adds a new dynamic to how you approach combat when compared to the single player game.
