    Los gráficos están bien, aunque muchas texturas lo petaban, en la época de los 128 bits,,,
    El diseño de (personajes,enemigos,escenarios,mundillo) muy bien.

    El rol en este juego se queda muy corto, para llegar seguramente a más público. Pero de verdad, muy
    básico, el sistema de combate muy visroso pero menos estratégico que el sistema de juego de
    Sidosín Sidane con sus centros. SIento la comparativa otra vez con el Real Madrid. Los combates son
    en tiempo real obviamente, of course.

    El mundo abierto... bueno, yo los Final Fantasy los prefiero como antes.

    Tiene una buena banda sonora.

    Conclusión: Si le quitas el nombre de Final Fantasy, es un buen juego. Ahora que con ese nombre si es verdad que es muy mejorable.    … Expand

    While I'm happy that the game was finally released after a decade of waiting.

The story itself was ok, it's definitely new though you would feel that once you start the game, the story has already "played out" and it's like being trapped on the middle of the story already, like you're supposed to understand everything on hand (I know that there's the movie and the anime but that feels more like damage control since they must've felt that the story could've been told in a much better way).

    While I don't hate everything about the game, I love how they tried to make it seem like an "open world" game though it's clearly not. I still feel like the game's world is way too small and the quests are too repetitive for a game that's been in development for YEARS. Also, I found that this is the easiest FF I've played so far (and i've played almost every FF out there starting from FF3). Though the reason for that is they wanted to be accessible to the newcomers to the series but it feels like a letdown for long time fans.    … Expand

The sound design is somewhat decent but not as memorable as the previous Final Fantasy games.

    The story however is a complete mess, it goes all over the place, you can kinda get the gist of it but there is this lingering aura that it was rushed and incomplete. It also didn't helped that the missing story parts are sold as DLC. The characters too had little character development and their twists were lacking in impact. All in all, Final Fantash XV may not be for everyone but it is certainly not a very bad game as other people claim it to be.    … Expand

    I am a long time Final Fantasy fan. Unfortunately XV is quite similar to XIII in that it is not an awful game but is very far from a masterpiece also.
    What Final Fantasy has always sold itself on is story. This is the number one gripe I have with the game. I can forgive the rough open world idea, the endless fetch quests, the inconsistent combat, and wonky camera, but I can not forgive the story that was delivered. If your main enjoyment from previous FF's has been story then you are most likely going to be disappointed by this entry.

    The pacing is alarmingly irregular. At the early stages of the game there is none to little story (or motivation) around to drive you forward, but as you come to the end exposition gets thrown at you all at once and you will be pushed towards the end of a story you've only just been starting to understand. In the early chapters you will be told to collect weapons to help your country, only to have this discarded as important by the next chapter where communing with aeons suddenly becomes what it is you have to do. Focus is the main thing this story needed but there is a lack of it at both ends; there is very little clear idea of what it is you're actually working towards at the beginning, and near the end so much is going on all at once that it is hard to pinpoint what the story is trying to tell you. Characters will routinely have things happen to them rather than developing themselves through choices and actions. The four main characters you spend your time with are likable but rarely step out of the sterotypes you are introduced to at the start. New characters will be introduced only to disappear very soon after and become largely irrelevant to the grand scheme of things. A lot of events will happen off screen with little attempt to explain them further to the viewer who might be confused by what exactly has happened.

    The combat is passable. I found myself enjoying it immensely at the beginning but it soon becomes boring and rigid. There isn't much variation to mix things up and battles seem to be either ridiculously easy or unfairly hard with little comfortable middle. Attacking certain parts of enemies is a fun idea but it doesn't add much to the strategy or flow of battle. The best execution in battles is the tactics you can order your friends to make, and the team attacks you can trigger with them. These are gratifying and fun to watch as well as essential to a lot of harder fights, but even with this good addition the combat doesn't do much to entice you to enjoy it for it's own sake. Magic was as much of a dealbreaker for me as it seems it was for most people but more variety would have been nice and it was simply easier just to attack away then throw magic half the time.

    The open world is again passable. Bogged down with meaningless fetch quests and tedious car journeys, the best way to travel is by chocobo but don't expect your exploration to be rewarded. You can come across quest givers with broken down cars, or a person in distress requiring a potion, but what I've just described is the extent of the complexity to these discoveries. These people have nothing new to say or bring to the game as a whole and you will find yourself cursing when finding them after a short while. The world is pretty and the diversity of enemies is good, I will give it that. I did enjoy fishing but the repetitive banter which is a symptom elsewhere is at it's worse when doing so. You will hear the same lines over and over and don't expect to grow to love them- it mars what is otherwise quite a fun minigame. I didn't even bother with the pinball machine game after trying it once so can't talk extensively about that but it certainly didn't win me over.
    The day/night cycle changes up what enemies you will encounter but you will run into a problem I mentioned earlier, in that a lot of these fight are unfairly hard and a chore to get through. In fights like this your winning depends more upon the amount of potions and phoenix downs you've got handy than actual skill.

    The music is something I can applaud, and the soundtrack is one of my favorites of all Final Fantasy games. It's done incredibly well apart from a few town hubs (Lestallum I'm looking at you) being repetitive and annoying. Alongside this the inclusion of being able to buy previous game's soundtracks is inspired. In other positive notes the villain did as well as they could of done considering the story; they were both threatening and entertaining and it is a real shame more backstory couldn't have been discovered on them, as I was very interested. Photography is another inspired move alongside cooking; there's something about looking at photos while eating a dinner you choose yourself that feels cosy and familiar. It is in these moments that the game feels like something more special and worthy of our time.    … Expand

    Não gostei da forma como a história foi contada (ou talvez eu só não esteja muito acostumado a forma como os japoneses contam histórias), mas gostei bastante do gameplay.
    Essa nota é mais pelo "sentimento". Não consigo definir em palavras muito bem o por quê dela, mas creio que reflete a relação que tive com o jogo.

    I love this franchise and at the same time, I struggle with it because, I feel they cant live up to the hype. Not because these games suck, they are beautiful and amazing, but after soooo many releases, how do you continue to impress? Cool as game but tough think back to from FF2-7.

    I've wasted a few hours playing this god-awful game. This one of the worst of the serie, maybe on par with XIII.

    The story is ridiculous.
    The combat is boring.
    The music is meh.
    The graphics are lacking.
    The controls are bad.

    I dream of the day Square would make a FF at the level of the VI

    The grinding system is good. you can challenge yourself with many monster that can be find in side quest. or you can just randomly fight monster when you explore the world of final fantasy xv.
    my favorite thing about Final Fantasy XV is about the friendship, the bond between main char and the side kicks cant be found in any Final Fantasy game (i think). Its just like you can play with your friend even though you play it alone.

    I finish my FF XV game in 58 hours. that is include doing some quest (almost 70% done) and doing some random exploration. my second attempt i got only 30 hours that i focus only on doing the main story line.    … Expand

    A Final Fantasy for fans and first-timers: Developer SquareEnix , boldly declares as you begin your journey into the fifteenth iteration of the legendary JRPG series. In the past decade rpg’s like Fallout, the Mass Effect trilogy and the Witcher series have undergone a quantum leap in open-world exploration and gameplay, while the aging Final Fantasy series has been sharply criticized for forgoing such advances in favor of staying true to series traditions, but with Final Fantasy XV, SquareEnix is endeavoring to breath new life into the aging juggernaut by introducing a massive open-world to explore and a new action-based combat system. While SquareEnix is largely successful in reinvigorating the franchise with more modern gameplay mechanics, they, unfortunately, stumble when it comes to delivering the exhilarating narratives the series has become known for.

    By far Final Fantasy XV’s most dramatic departure from tradition is found in its vast and vivid open world of Lucis. While older Final Fantasy’s, like VI & VII, have had semi-open worlds the amount of said world to explore was always limited by story progression. Final Fantasy XV shrugs this tradition by granting the player complete freedom to explore, complete side quest, and progress story content at their leisure. The world is mainly comprised of two environments, one more desert oriented and the other more reminiscent of a wooded forest dotted with rivers, lakes, and marsh lands. Spread throughout the world are numerous outpost and small towns where your party can gain valuable intel on the surrounding area, join hunts to track down dangerous daemons and enjoy status buffing meals from diners and local tipsters. Towns also provide you with an opportunity to stock up on valuable items like potions and elixirs from stores and take advantage experience boost by staying at hotels and caravans. You will need to take full of advantage of these resources as you explore the Kingdom of Lucis, as the world is filled with numerous and dangerous demons waiting to bring Noctis and friends quest to an early conclusion. Of course, this giant world would be wasted if it didn’t have anything to do in it, luckily, Final fantasy XV is full of quest to entice you to stray from the beaten path of the main story. The downside is that most of the quest are basic fetch quest, that while encouraging exploration of the world, offer little in terms of reward or excitement. One quest line literally had me travel to the same farm multiple times to simply harvest vegetables. Of course, with any Final Fantasy the best content is saved for the end game and that remains true with Final Fantasy XV, giving you the opportunity to unlock high level dungeons to truly test your skills.

    While Final Fantasy XV’s open-world is an attractive first for the series, it was the combat that kept me engaged throughout my sixty-eight-hour play-through. Longtime fans of Final Fantasy are no doubt familiar with the series traditional turn-based combat, but for the first time in the series, in an effort to attract new fans who may have been turned off by the more methodical pace of the older entries, Square is introducing a new action-combat system that is more akin to the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Let’s be clear: I love turn-based combat and would love for Final Fantasy to continue to innovate in that style; having said that, the new action-combat system in Final Fantasy XV is, to put it simply, exhilarating.

    The action of XV is fast paced and a little hectic, I often found myself engaging one group of enemies and had a second or third group join the fray, requiring me to reconsider my tactics on the fly. Luckily, nearly every enemy has a set of weakness and strengths that Noctis and party are fully capable of exploiting, whether it be an enemy weak to a certain weapon type; like lances or great swords, or the traditional magic elements of fire, ice or thunder. To accompany the fast-paced action combat, Noctis has an assortment of warping and phasing abilities that enable the young prince to overcome the direst of encounters. A quick tap of the square(X on Xbone) allows Noctis to phase through incoming attacks and, sometimes, gives Noctis the opportunity to inflict a powerful parry attack. If you find yourself being overwhelmed, a simple push of triangle (Y) will warp Noctis to safety allowing you to regenerate HP and MP and deliver a devastating warp-strike attack upon returning to the fray. As for your party members, while you cannot control them directly, they still serve an important role in combat. By performing certain actions in battle, like attacking an enemy from behind, you can perform a blindside attacks or social link attacks which allows Noctis and a party member to perform a short combo with significantly more damage. Unlike previous Final Fantasy, you do not have direct control of the party durin    … Expand

Sorry for that tangent
    Ok finally we are at the positives first I really all the hunts those should get really intense and some could always have some scripted climatic moments the open world also always felt so big and wide it always felt like there was something but it always felt real it always feel like some place you can just go with it felt like there was history everywhere. Also some people complain that you need to watch a movie and a anime to understand the plot but no you totally don’t need to watch that **** I didn’t need watch some anime to understand this game hey the game is this thing called subtilty were they tell you the same stuff but they don’t go out to tell you, you have to not be a dumb ass to understand it So you remember when I rambled all about the game play well I lied because I don’t know how but they just made it work the bosses are so cool and each enemy fells challenging enough to make you think on which weapon to use and yeah I said that the block was not reliable but in my opinion it makes feel that much better when you finally get the block and perry it feels so good. And now the best thing about the Final Fantasy 15 was the characters each character bonches off of each other so much Ignis is always the straight thinker who takes care of everyone prompto is the descent comic relief who has a actually good and unexpected backstory and Gladio is the straight thinker who always tells Notis when he is being a dumbass which happens a lot. And I can’t even get into any of the other characters without getting into spoilers so please go play this amazing game for yourself    … Expand

    The characters are well polished something you see in many high budget games, the quad team that you play with throughout the game felt great making me want to play with them rather than seeing them and then going "meh ok let's go kill something".

    The story was a little confusing to start with as I didn't know much about the characters or the factions or game worlds or the God's or the various unique animals but in someway it felt as if that made it more fun more adventurous and something which hooked me from start to end.

    Aspects of the game like the limited driving and travel of the world, as well as the this weapon is best for this monster mechanic let it down for me a bit but not by much.

    Overall this was a awesome game, had loads fun and really enjoyed it. However this to me seems like a game that I would only play once so future or even past installments of this franchise I wouldn't go hunting for, as I feel this was a one time thing and it's style and genre is not all for me.    … Expand

The dlc's are fun and majestic with so much emotion and feelings in to it and once you complete the dlc's you get rewarded in the actual game !!! but i think that square enix should have waited more with this game and released it on the PS5 and PC rather than the current generation cuz' the game doesnt feel polished and smooth. But overall its a fantastic game !… Expand

A gameplay é simples e bem fluida, o que por um lado é bom, porém, em alguns momentos, a simplicidade demasiada pode frustras alguns jogadores oldschool de final fantasy, Quanto as missões o jogador sempre tem a opção de seguir a história principal ou as sidequests de exploração. Os personagens são bem trabalhados e criados, e pode-se perceber a evolução, principalmente do protagonista, durante a gameplay.

    I played this when it first released and its an underwhelming game despite all the hype and controversy associated with it. I liked the modern day setting for the game is interesting given past games are either fantasy era with steam punk/,magic elements or futuristic and high tech. With that in mind, it does not feel like a FF game.

I liked the modern day setting for the game is interesting given past games are either fantasy era with steam punk/,magic elements or futuristic and high tech. With that in mind, it does not feel like a FF game.

    The combat seems ok but its nothing special. Magic is almost non-existent and very basic compared to past games and while you can summon creatures and entities, they are usually situational. Story was kind of jumbled and doesn't make a whole lot of sense without the new content they released. There are sections of the game that seem like they borrowed ideas from the Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil franchises. Driving around in the car is cool for a while but it quickly becomes boring. Unfortunately they tied this aspect of the game as a way to build up your AP to unlock skills. A few of the boss fights are cool.

    Ultimately, you're better off playing the complete or "Royal" edition as it has all the content that was supposed to be in the game when it first released. If you're a fan of the newer FF games, you might like this but fans of the older games are going to want to steer clear.    … Expand

    Rough edges can't stop the game from delivering an emotional, endearing and charming journey between 4 lovely chocobros.

    I am truly enjoying this game. Clear departure from older games in the series, but very fun. The main negatives for me are 1) On XBox One platform I have experienced multiple game freezes and other glitches such as not being able to exit combat 2) Creating and using spells is a hassle. Have to switch to magic and then aim where you want it to go. Can't really target enemies easily (orI am truly enjoying this game. Clear departure from older games in the series, but very fun.

Have to switch to magic and then aim where you want it to go. Can't really target enemies easily (or at least that I have been able to figure out) 3) Really explains combat as you go, but doesn't explain elemancy well. Such as using coins to create experience spells. Much of that is hard to figure out 4) Fishing game is great, but doesn't explain lures or how to figure out what fish are in a spot. 5) I find it annoying that items keep popping up again on the map. Would have preferred to just find and move on with more items to find out there. Tough for completion-ists like myself to make sure we found everything. 6) Stopping the damned car. When you want to stop and get out the car it doesn't pull over and parks sooooooo far past where you wanted to. Annoying 7) Repeated attacks from above by the Imperials, even when your already in a quest hunt. Gets tiring fighting them over and over again. But I guess it's nowhere as tedious as the original games where you would randomly have to fight monsters.

    That being said, I love the comradery between the 4 lead characters. The conversations seem genuine. Even if a little corny at times. Like why is Cindy in a bikini and constantly washing your windshield??? I mean, it's awesome, but really??? Graphics and map are awesome. I really like the story so far, and especially Noctis' and Prompto's characters. Although I seem to get tired of completing quests, I find myself enjoying 2-3 hour sessions before I get bored. Much like Resident Evil 7, I think the franchise was seriously in need of a reboot and they got most things right in my book.    … Expand

    I really love this game, but it's clear it has some flaws. The story is good but they really rushed everything on the second half, plus, DLCs covering plot holes are a cheap strategy to get our money. The open world is stunning and worth the exploration, but the side quests are kind of repetitive.

    However, even with all it's flaws, I keep coming back to this game from time to time. The game shines on the small things,mainly the dynamic between the main character and his friends. You really care about these guys, even more than some other characters that the game begs you to care. Exploring the world, driving on scenic roads with your buddies, camping, enjoying the photos taken after a day battling all kinds of creatures, funny idle chats... All these little things add a lot on the experience. The battle system is awesome too, very dynamic and intuitive, you never get tired of it. The creatures you face only make everything better.

    This game is awesome and after all the updates, it's finally at the best form. I don't understand all the hate this game gets but for me, FFXV is among the best games of this generation.    … Expand

    A great fun game. I couldn't get into the older titles because I'm not a big fan of turned based combat, but this actually entertained me.

    The game is great, and includes many fun features with great quests and many things to do. Though there are many lacking qualities that make it any better. Like for example the mazes can be very annoying. The graphics and sound, and character development is absolutely astonishing. Personally, one of my favourite games.

    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.
