    I wish I could give half score, then my score would be 9.5, but my criticisms aren't enough to give it a 9.

    I have only played this game with the Royal Edition or Windows Edition. This version has all the dlc and updates in the game already so I don't know about those things people had issue with in the past. But this game, the AI system between the 4 main characters is so wonderful.    I wish I could give half score, then my score would be 9.5, but my criticisms aren't enough to give it a 9.

    But this game, the AI system between the 4 main characters is so wonderful. It feels like you are truly seeing 4 guys on the road, bantering and laughing and becoming family. The story has some issues, and that's my main reason for the lack of .5 score. The reasoning of the gods is confusing, why they needed to curse Ardyn, why Noctis needed to die to save Ardyn... it's rather nonsensical, but I believe that's a holdover from Tetsuya Nomura... who is known for that.
    My biggest issue lies in Luna, she is under utilized and the things she does for the story and Noctis are downplayed. She is the one who even got the gods to give Noctis their powers, she went around the world healing people, she even tried to save Ardyn, and yet the story barely focuses on her and greatly suffers for it.
    But again, that disrespect for female characters seems to be a hold over from tetsuya nomura's style as can be seen in KH and FF7R.

    The game design, and character development is so good among Noctis, Ignis, Gladio and Prompto however, that you can easily drop 400 hour sin this game and still have fun.    … Expand

    The best Final Fantasy game that I've ever played.
    With fun and enjoyable gameplay, nice story, incredible graphics, epic summons, and much more.

    I loved every single minute that I've spent for exploring the beautiful world of Eos, with the chocobos.
    And the dungeons are easily the best of the entire series.
    A great adventure and an epic Final Fantasy game.

    This is probably the worst final fantasy game in the entire series.

    The story feels like an afterthought and is poorly paced, with major character events and story events taking place in outside media, which takes away from the game.

    The story feels like an afterthought and is poorly paced, with major character events and story events taking place in outside media, which takes away from the game. Its framed as a love story yet the two lovers meet like two times. The world has the same feeling, many of the towns are just copy pasted from California with the same 5 NPCs walking around, despite monsters roaming the country side people live like they are in LA. The world is pretty but its just geometry, outside of the car there is little to do in it.

    The characters are bland and hollow. They get little development in the main story and even less in the side content. The camp scenes are nice but the game gives you incentives you away from setting camp in the wild because you can get much more exp from sleeping at an inn. The major arcs and development for each are locked to $5 DLC each. The DLC features some of the best content in the game, but is scummy because that content should've been in the base game. You shouldn't have to pay an extra $15 to fix the problems the developers made.

    The combat system is probably the worst part of the game. You can get through the entire game by holding down the attack button. There is little player choice when it comes to combat and it is easily broken and made trivial by simply carrying healing items. Its like using FFXIII's auto battle feature for the enitre game and not being able to do anything else, the combat is that bad.

    The side content is terrible as well with most making no sense or literally using 3rd party asset monsters. How low can you go?    … Expand

    Final Fantasy XV is a big mess that does not feel much like a role playing game or a action brawling game. The gameplay is weird.

The gameplay is weird. You play as a skinny kid who does not know how to run and looks like an anime cartoon living in the real world. His main skill is throwing his sword and then teleporting to it. In an excruciating tutorial, you learn to teleport to enemies to attach and teleport to the ceiling for defense. You can also order your 3 friends to conduct a special attack every now and then. After a few hours, I learned the best tactic was to have my allies conduct their special attack when the giant bosses were starting their attack animations. Then the game became simple button mashing and grinding levels to make the boss fights easier.

    The game world is inscrutable. The game in theory has an open world. What this really means is that there are large stretches of featureless, low texture terrain between cookie-cutter buildings. It also means roadblocks, cliff faces, and high walls to prevent the player from travelling out of the game area. Final Fantasy XV embraces the kind of open world we saw in the PS2 generation. There is little explanation of why people are fighting with swords in an age of guns and walking tanks. We also have no idea how people have cell phones and cars in a world that seems bereft of any kind of industry. There is mention of an asteroid that brought magic or whatever. After a 26 hour playthrough, I knew about as much as I did at the start of the game. The story is at least light on cutscenes for this type of game. There are few focused segments that tell the story through in-game dialogue and events. FYI, Square Enix, you can design a whole game where the story is told in-game.

    I have the strong feeling that this game was supposed to have launched in the PS3 era. In addition to the low quality environments, some of the boss fights have subpar graphics. None of the areas feature many people, certainly nothing to level we've come to expect in the PS4 era. (Assassin's Creed Unity, which launched in 2014, had enormous crowds.) The gameplay is also severely limited for a game that has historically let players customize their parties. Development clearly went awry and the final product was not better for it. I have a strong feeling that the odd fighting system was implemented to help may the game few "new".

    Total disclosure: I paid $2.50 for this game. Were I a fan of the series, I would have paid $60 to play on day one. Maybe because I am not a fan, my 26 hour playthrough was mostly confusing and off-putting. The gameplay was interesting enough to get me into the next fight but mostly in a grindy way that ensured the boss fight would be easier. (Though I do not like grinding, I find it preferable to dying and reloading.) I was also surprised to see little customization of the characters. This game is not so much an RPG as it is a fighting game with levels. I've played better fighting games with levels.    … Expand

    After 13 I thought it can't get any worse. Well, then came 15. I loved the graphics, fighting was kind of fun. Unfortunately the sidequests and characters rather annoying. BUT the core of the game, the core of what FF is about: the story was a disaster. When you spend tenth of Millions in production why not one million in a first class book or story writer? FF deserves it.

    Awful story badly told. Character depth an interaction is very poor. All NPCs are essentially the same lifeless person. The world is empty and boring. All towns feel like ghost towns even though they are "inhabited" by many non interactable NPCs. Most of the towns also look identical to each other.

Most of the towns also look identical to each other. This game feels more like a pre-alpha version or a game that should be out 20 years ago. Combat system is fun only if there's one enemy involved and only if the battle takes place in a completely open space; otherwise it's a mess you can't follow, if you are luck enough to not have your view completely blocked by surroundings. All side quests are essentially "go collect ths resource for me or go kill this thing for me for no apparent reason". Also looking around to a specified area to collect random hidden stuff is no fun at all, and it happens way more often than one would expect. You know this is a bad game when its best aspect is how good the food looks, and it's best story part is a crossover non-canon mission inspired by a mobile phone game.… Expand

I spent almost 20 hours if not more just running around in Lucis fishing, doing side quests, finding new dialogue, exploring every inch and finding cool stuff. All the character building came from just hanging out in the open world camping, doing and finding little quests, dungeons, practice fighting with Arenea and the bros, watching the pictures at the end of every day, etc. I spent almost 60 hours experiencing every inch of this game and I loved it. The story itself I found to be very impactful and beautiful. Great music, excellent graphics and environment design, and fun mechanics and things to explore. I do believe the game could have been a bit better but is by no means a bad game like others claim it to be.

    I try to keep reviews relatively spoiler free, but YMMV on what constitutes a spoiler, so consider this a light spoiler warning:

    FFXV is a frustrating game. There are positive aspects of it for sure, and I suspect most gamers will enjoy their time with it, but the things that weigh it down, really weigh it down. The game is about 80% atmosphere and combat, 20% story.

    FFXV is a frustrating game. There are positive aspects of it for sure, and I suspect most gamers will enjoy their time with it, but the things that weigh it down, really weigh it down.

    The game is about 80% atmosphere and combat, 20% story. You get hit with a big exposition dump at the beginning of the game and then it's more or less open road until near the end. In other words, this very much isn't the typical FF formula. It's much more open world. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't mesh well with telling a deep and compelling story.

    Story
    Story is one of the biggest weaknesses in FFX. There are major story beats that fall short. Characters who are supposed to be major characters who you get one or two scenes with over the whole game. The villain's backstory is an exposition dump during his final fight with essentially no lead in. The game expects you to watch a companion film to understand part of the early plot, and it doesn't come with all versions of the game. Four major events from the story are taken out of the game so that Square Enix can sell them as DLC and they weren't even available at launch. These sections are not smooth in any way shape or form. In other words, the story is a trainwreck from start to finish, which is sad, because there are some interesting premises in it. The villain is, or seems like he would be, interesting. You don't get to know him, but he seems like the kind of villain you would like to get to know. Same thing with the love interest, and the mentor character. They all would have benefited from more screen time. There's also a lot of worldbuilding in this game, some of which actually comes through well, but most of which isn't super relevant to the game itself. The worldbuilding focusses on cities and politics and such, but most of the game takes place in barren wilderness, which is a bit of an odd back and forth. Of all the FF titles I've played, and I've played a lot, this is the one that probably needed the least complicated of a backstory to shape its overall premise, so the fact that they tried to go extremely complicated, and failed to come through, is a dissapointment.

    Combat
    Combat is actually decent and is one of the highlights of the game. It looks amazing, but it feels only okay. Attacks aren't as weighty as I would like, and the later into the game you get the more you realize just how button mashy the core mechanics really are. There isn't as much complexity or strategy as you would generally expect from an FF title but it can still be enjoyable enough. The major combat hook is that you can teleport from location to location by throwing your weapons. It looks great and it's decently useful. I've heard complaints about the boss fights but I think most of them are about as good as you could hope given the simple combat mechanics. I enjoyed my time fighting Aeons in particular.

    Atmosphere
    This is where the game lives, and is the main reason that the game isn't just a dumpster fire. You have three companions which you start the game with, and you'll never get more. Each has a compelling personality and defining features. Only one has much of a meaningful backstory, but that's back to the story issues. The group chats amongst itself as you play, commenting on everything. They all have useful skills related to being in the great outdoors, photography, and cooking, and you are generally just roaming from town to town, camping in the wilderness, fishing, and hanging out. It's got a good feel to it. Whereas most FF games are entirely combat based, this one almost feels like it has a separate thing going for it in addition to the combat. This is the one aspect of the game that I think really just works. There's a general Southern America vibe to the whole worldspace that really just resonates with what you are doing. It's portrayed in the NPCS, the music, and the architecture, and it all just generally works.

    Of course, then you get into the cities and it's back to typical JRPG high fantasy, and honestly, it's a bit of a dissapointment because the cities are so much less innovative or interesting than the outlands.

    So that's what you end up with, a game with an inconsistently good worldspace / atmosphere, decent combat, and the makings of a decent story but rough pacing and storytelling and some questionable marketing decisions surrounding locking parts of the main plot behind DLC and the Collector's Edition.    … Expand

    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.
