    Im lazy and not about to write a whole bunch but this game is fantastic! Ive played ff 7, 10, 12, 13 and spinoffs. I do really enjoy turnbased games and we dont have any serious mature rpgs like that on ps4 in particular. And would have liked ff 15 to be more classic turn base. But I do like god of war and devil may cry style combat and this game still somewhat blends turn base and actionIm lazy and not about to write a whole bunch but this game is fantastic! Ive played ff 7, 10, 12, 13 and spinoffs. I do really enjoy turnbased games and we dont have any serious mature rpgs like that on ps4 in particular. And would have liked ff 15 to be more classic turn base. But I do like god of war and devil may cry style combat and this game still somewhat blends turn base and action combat into one!! But its mostly fast action.

    The world, characters, some quests, most story missions, about half the music and especially the COMBAT is fantastic!!!! The better you get the more stylish you can be and can get better at controlling the camera smh lol but its not that bad maybe 20 percent of the time it will get wonky on tall skinny enemies. The story is meh, I geuss you have to watch kingslaive but the voice acting is really good most often and ive never really heard anybody say something cheezy, which is good for newcomers. Well prompto might but his crew calls him out on it lol this game is really an 8.5+ for sure!!!

    Only drawback is imo very slight camera issues, frame stutter slightly in altissia city on ps4, some areas are a little empty, only some. Other areas have monsters spawning often but where one dungeon was huge and not many enemies or structures, (I think i went there early before a side quest boss was ready) but other dungeons are awesome!!

    BTW!!!! Most of the fun isnt necessarily from the story but alternate paths, taking your time exploring and the side quests that have some of the best bosses. Well, besides the 2nd half of the game has some over the top fights! Really fun! And im on ch. 12 and 55 hours in. This is a legit opinion fellas. I gave 10 to bump it up to my 8.5+    … Expand

It's easy to use, adjustable and comfortable both for those who knows the game and those who has just started. On the one hand is pretty exciting having Multiplayer in future, it'd be a great experience, if they make something worth it.
    Unfortunately we also got bad news, some missions are way too repetitive, so that means you gotta run long distances to get to your mission checkpoint and tends to get exhaustive sometimes but is an open world game, where you can enjoy full detailed landscapes, random battles and funny comments from the characters. We can't let these small details ruin us the game. We know it has been a long wait and we expected more but let's give a chance, I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it.    … Expand

Firstly i started off with Final Fantasy VIII and that was my childhood and i had high expectations with this game with the amount of hype and gorgeous graphics leaked online, and it did not fail to deliver. You can run around forever exploring a beautiful and rich world filled with monsters, people and cars. Final Fantasy XV has really delivered in terms of stunning graphics and a beautiful fantasy world keeping the old elements in the game.

    Story: Story wise what more can you expect from a Final Fantasy series with your good looking anime type heroes and you are destined to save the world from disaster so no problems here what so ever.

    Combat: Maybe the only possible fault i can point out, at times during battles the camera angle is a bit awkward causing confusion but it is easily fixable and corrected if you tilt your analog stick. The functions in each type of weapon you can use is quite fun despite the easy combos because you can go at enemies differently using different tactics along with companions. The companion combos is a major plus for meas you progress in the game you see the brotherhood of the characters surrounding Noctis hence seeing your friend having the final blow or assisting you in battle is very satisfying.

    Graphics: Nothing to say but just beautiful and what you would expect from a Final Fantasy game. Surely PC gamers will complain frame drops here and there, but god dammit enough with the PC vs Console. Each to their own.

    Content: 100+ hours of game play especially if you enjoy exploring you will definitely not be bored at all, so many quests and difficult bosses to hunt.

    I love playing this game so much i highly recommend anyone giving it a go!    … Expand

    Pros- Amazing story, Combat, Graphics, and great cast!
    Cons- Camera can get a bit wonky at times, but its not enough where it will be hard to focus.

    Conclusion: Overall, My favorite Final Fantasy, SE really hit it out of the ball park with this one!

    this game's biggest flaw is the expectations it garnered. Nothing that that came prior to it can quite compare to it, and all nostalgia aside no Final fantasy managed to offer the experience at hand. CRITISIZING a some what confusing story means you either play final fantasy for the first time or you're being an over nit picking hypocrite.

    Final fantasy xv is a great game with an impressive artistic section and wonderful graphics effects. A great open world full of things to do. The second half is linear and offers the strength that final fantasy xv needed. Is a huge game with very intense moments. Good characters and grand final. The endgame is very broad and fun. I recommend it.

    To write this out fairly quick I'm just going to go ahead and say that the game does have a lot of problems that could have been handled better, but honestly the positives outweigh the negatives.

A big key feature in FFXV is the exploration, and i must say it has been crafted very well, the dungeons you can find are among the best in the series and are a blast to go through. The friendship between Noctis, Prompto, Gladio, and Ignis is amazing as well and really brings a "live" feeling as you travel through the world. On to the combat and it just feels extremely fluid, the link strikes, warping, aerial combat, etc just leave you with a badass feeling. And if you're worried the game will just be button mashing, don't, just go find a gameplay video from a person good at the game and compare it to someone bad at that game and you will see just how amazing the combat actually is. As for the graphics of the game they aren't super spectacular but the visuals are still very pretty and will most likely leave you taking in the view occasionally. The story is mixed from person to person so i'm going to just say experience it yourself, you may like it or you may not, but you will still probably enjoy a lot of what the game has to offer. (I forgot to mention the game does eventually become more linear)… Expand

    Also little details in the game make the experience so much better. For example Prompto is always taking random pictures with his camera, at first I thought this was "meh..." but then I realised that as a MMORPG player I love taking screenshots. Saving the best photos and looking the album at the end of the game will be very cool IMO.

    The OST is amazing like in every Final Fantasy, combined with great environment design makes a very immersive experience.

    Square did a great job and I think everyone should try it before screaming that "It's not FF because it's not turn based".

    The only thing that I'm missing is the 'hard' difficulty option, it should be available from the start for veteran players even if it was just HP/Damage increase from enemies. Overall 10/10 though, I'm 12 hours into the game and loving it!    … Expand

    Its Final Fantasy based on True Story...,seriously.
    The world feels so live even you just drive away to the side quest over and over
    and the combats is so much fun (especially the armiger),the effect and the music is GREAT!
    Also the story is good but not the best,yet it still get better by character progression of The Bros :)

    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.
