    Game has several issues but also does a lot right. Visuals are good. Soundtrack is top notch. I personally found the gameplay loop to be addicting, Story is solid by itself without all the extra junk. Characters are the best part. Noctis and his bros have such great chemistry. I personally enjoyed the open world and what it had to offer. It’s not done the best but it’s also unique. Isn’tGame has several issues but also does a lot right. Visuals are good.

Isn’t your typical Ubisoft world where you gotta run around and do a hundred different tasks. That said, I consider 15 to be Ana amazing game and honestly one of the best entries in the series.

    One of the best RPG of the year, and that I've played in my life. A gorgeous and functional RPG that makes you wanna play more and more. The history is simply beautiful, the characters development is so good that you can feel they evolving during the game. The combat is good, but remarcable, the skills of noctis and the teamwork are the glimpse of it. Talking about teamwork, theOne of the best RPG of the year, and that I've played in my life.

The combat is good, but remarcable, the skills of noctis and the teamwork are the glimpse of it. Talking about teamwork, the protagonists of the game are the best guild I've ever have the chance to play with. Talking all along the journey, thinking in strategies, showing their emotions as long as they help noctis growing up in his own journey of king. I listen to the soundtrack even today, and it's breathtaking. The graphics aren't the best, but good for the time that was launched. The map is huge and have so many side quests to do. An awesome game. Expand

    An absolute gem compared to the burning pile of mindless trash that is 16. Manages to retain some qualities of slower turn-based ff and yet also delivers on exploration. The characters and setting are fresh, the world vibrant. F ff16.

    I especially enjoyed fishing in the awesome and huge world of Eos, becoming my new favorite minigame within the Final Fantasy franchise.
    The characters are beautifully characterized, and the gameplay is simple but very fun and intuitive.
    Honorable mention to the excellent soundtrack, and to the excellent main villain, Ardyn Izunia.
    This is a game that I can easily recommend to any gamer that truly loves explore and play openworld games.

    A light adventure and at the same time full of contents and things to discover.

    It's a good game, but not on par with previous games in the franchise. They should have finished the game before releasing it. Hopefully the royal edition fixes that

    Un grandioso gioco, con personaggi molto caratterizzati, una trama bella ed una Lore davvero eccezionale.
    Il gameplay è molto divertente e anche la colonna sonora è magnifica.

    Final Fantasy XV is, essentially, the most beautiful and cool Final Fantasy game that you can play today.

    It has a fun battle system, a nice plot, a great Lore, a wonderful graphics and a majestic soundtrack.

    Definitely a truly remarkable and enjoyable game.

    An excellent revival of the saga. A very fresh game for Final Fantasy, with very innovative gameplay mechanics that adapt to all types of players. The story is, as always, very good and the music is beautiful.

    Since it's offer some of the best looking landscape in the current open world games today's, at the same level of games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Horizon Forbidden West.
    Final Fantasy 15 it has a phenomenal gameplay completely action full of spectacular combo, chains attack, parry, the powerful magics, the epic Summons, the Arminger Unleashed, and much more; and a cast of truly characteristics and very well written characters, Noctis, Ignis, Gladio and Prompto, in pretty much every aspect.
    Even with their respective jobs and hobby.
    The whole execution of the interaction between the chocobros are truly remarkable and special, something that hardly you can see into a videogame today.
    And that makes this game even more unique.

    The whole story it is also truly interesting and pretty cool, even if to the player is asked to have the patience to follow different kinds of media between an anime (Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV) and a movie prequel (Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV), and to play the other DLCs released, the whole operation it is pretty much fully rewarded, with intriguing evolution and absolutely stunning events, that makes this whole big operation definitely worth to be followed.

    I've spent over 250 hours in the Eos world of Final Fantasy XV, and it easily became one of my favorite Final Fantasy games ever.

    It’s started the trend for a more action combat system perfected by FF VII Remake and FF XVI. The Royal Edition fixed

    the game feels very personal, you bond with your brothers and overcome everything together.
    Gameplay was also very very good! it was new for many, but that doesn´t mean it was bad in any way.
    exploring this world, cruising with the gang, beautiful landscapes, gossip at the campfire...
    at the end you have to choose a picture...i almost cry just thinking about that. Give it a try, you won´t be dissapointed, if you allow it.

    This is one of the only games that had me hooked for days on end. In my writing I realize however my bias in liking this game so much, since it was my first Final Fantasy game, my first PS4 game, and my first modern AAA game title.

    Enjoyable game, despite its numerous flaws such as the combat system or the poorly told story. I have spent numerous hours in your world without being bored. Despite its flaws, it gives off charisma and magic, an epic adventure to live together with its great characters in an artistically beautiful world and with one of the best soundtracks in the saga.

    Very ambitious game that I can't

    After so many years of development, Final Fantasy XV is not what I expected it to be. The universe is immense and beautiful and the characters are just fine. But the story is short and disappointing and the gameplay suffers from lack of depth. FFXV is a good game, but it can never bring the former glories back to the series.

    Even as you reflect on the rarity of a blockbuster that's willing to take real risks, you'll be left with the uncomfortable realisation that ten years wasn't quite long enough, after all. Those jagged edges are, in the end, just a little too sharp. [Feb 2017, p.110]

    Despite a divided feel, torn between what it was and what it plans to be, Final Fantasy XV has a lot to offer. If you're a diehard JRPG fan, then it's a positive sign that the series can cross over to a new format. And if you're just looking for an open world adventure, Final Fantasy XV certainly has that in spades, while doing just enough things differently to separate it from the likes of Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls.
