    If there's one thing that comes to mind when I talk about this game, it's that it's something that's never been done before. This applies to nearly everything, the gameplay, the story, everything.

Truly this was a unique experience one can only get by not just playing the story, but exploring the world as much as possible doing as many quests as they can along the way. If you only focus on the story, you're looking at a small corner of a wide canvas. On a note about the story though, I must say once again, they did something that's never been done before. While it's not how I would have wanted things to go, that doesn't make the writing bad to me, on the contrary I respect the unique style of story they tried to tell that they could only capture with the 'Road Trip' experience. Also, props to them for creating easily the most evil villain of the franchise's history. I've never loved to hate a character more in any form of fiction.

    In short, this was not my favorite Final Fantasy game, but it could be argued to be the greatest. It's not a perfect game, but it is an amazing one worth the 10 years we waited. Here's to a bright future for the franchise!    … Expand

    A GREAT Final Fantasy consists of 34% story and characters, 33% music, 33% gameplay & world. An AWFUL Final Fantasy, for example like XV, has 90% gameplay/world and 10% the rest combined. This game is just a good looking game that has the Final Fantasy name slapped on to it.

    The recipe for a great game is not impossible to make but the chefs forgot to put the soul it needed, or should I say, they stupidly fought 10 years over a simple recipe. They wanted to make a great apple pie and ended up with an overcooked pie with no apples.

    It's sad to see producers forcing to make this franchise something that it's not. And why take out the story from the game and place it in an anime series & a movie???!!! I really enjoyed the anime series but left the game story very dry.

    I'm looking forward with hope that someday Final Fantasy will be it's self again; not in a nostalgic way, but in a high way.    … Expand

    During my playthrough of this game, I went from "this is a pretty good game" to "this is awesome" to "this isn't as good as I originally thought" to "it's a meh game" to "its awesome" to "its pretty good"

    Keep in mind this is the 1st final fantasy game I've ever played. So many good and bad things conflict with each other. But the game is still very enjoyable

    The combat, the story, the characters, the open world, the game, is absolutely everything! When I started the game, I never stopped because it got me hooked! This game is one of my favorites. The story is remarkable, the open world is extraordinary, and the characters are awesome. This is one of the most outstanding JRPG games I've ever played.

    It is one of the worst games I've ever played with PS4.
    Good things are music, fishing and that's it.
    Boring, Laggy, terrbile character design...
    A number of good things from other games but degraded.
    It feels like that it has a lot of big holes in plot.
    and even if there are no holes in plot? story is just trash.

    I'm definitely a bit biased with my score for this game, because a big reason I rated this highly is that I was really blown away by how beautiful the game is.

Many of the landscapes you see, the locales you visit, and the creatures you fight were just absolutely stunning. I've only been a PS4 owner for a short while so I might be overrating this, but I was just so drawn in by the visuals of this game.

    Many of the other game fundamentals were either pretty good or at least solid enough to not be annoying. The combat started off new and inventive, although parts of it weren't all that great and by the end I was fairly bored with it. The side quests were pretty average. Voice acting and facial animation was pretty good imo. And the story and characters were mostly competent, although the pacing in particularly wasn't great.

    But the biggest thing I felt during this game, and the reason I'm giving it a 9, is that I thought this game did an excellent job of getting the player to often just put down the controller and observe the world. Even in vast open world games, we spend most of our time running through them and often only admiring their beauty while we are busy doing other things. But this game did a great job of replicating the feeling of just driving in a car through beautiful scenery, not taking too much time to worry about what comes next but instead just focusing on what you're seeing outside. I think that this is easily one of the hardest things for games to do well - most of us don't want to take the time to smell the roses when we're playing video games, we want to be continuously occupied by either the story or by doing actions in the game world. But this game really did a fantastic job of bringing me back to that feeling of being on a car trip in a new location, that I almost never get from gaming.    … Expand

The combat just doesn't work at all, it's annoyingly slow and is seriously dull, some of the things you fight fairly early on just one shot you and then you have to hide behind a rock and wait for Ignis to heal you. The story is actually boring as hell, where so far I have driven to a gas station, fixed the car, driven down to a beach to catch a boat, not caught the boat and driven to some random city and then entered a cave behind a waterfall. The characters are seriously dull with three of them being the most uninteresting people ever and Promptus providing a couple of primary school jokes now and then. I cannot understand why people play this game. I have the Royal Edition and haven't played any of the DLC yet, which I'll probably get round to but it just strikes me that this game isn't a Final Fantasy game. Where are the cool steampunk sci-fi cities and boss fights? If anyone wants to give me a good reason to keep playing then holla back.… Expand

I didn't update the game because I have limited GB in my home so I found some problems that probably are fixed such: lag two times in a battle vs one boss, the face of one person in a city had two different heads and at the end of the game again with a boss I jumped and suddenly everything was dark while the battle kept going so I had tot restart the game. But again, I guess this is already fixed. Sometimes it can be boring driving the car or just watching the car moving without anything to do. So you feel you are wasting your time although sometimes you can skip this if you go directly to parkings but there are only a few and they're in the middle of nowhere. The map looks awkwardly outdated. A part from this you start with many sidequests that are really not interesting but you can do a few to earn experience, objects and money, but dont' get obssesed with this and follow the main missions because the driving thing is tedious. Gameplay is ok you only need to move, dodge, and attack although I felt like pressing buttons with not knowing much what I was doing except for one technique. I finished the game in 31 and a half hours so it's quite short for being a ff but I didn't mind. Which I really missed was more scenes or things to help you follow the story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Para empezar he de decir que el juego tiene un par de ideas buenas pero mal desarrolladas, y que sus políticas han sido de lo peor que he visto. Empezaré por lo bueno, tiene unos gráficos de diez, sinceramente espectaculares, y que decir de la música, pensaba que Shimomura no podria sustituir al gran Uematsu pero lo ha hecho muy bién. La historia no es mala, pero para ser un Final Fantasy tiene demasiadas carencias, te vas enterando muy mal de lo que va pasando, ahora vienen SPOILERS, como el prologo en que pasan muchas cosas como la muerte de Regis, que ya se que hay una película, pero a modo de resumen o algo así en mi opinión lo deberian poner, también lo poco que explican de la historia, como los experimentos que hacian, que lo tienes que leer de unas páginas, y ya podrian haber hecho una cinemática o algo, al igual que la transformación de Iedolas que surge de la nada, o de como Ignis se queda ciego. Otra cosa que no me ha gustado es lo desaprovechados que estan todos los personajes secundarios, creo que personajes como Cor, Iris o Aranea deberian poder ser seleccionables para nuestro equipo desde el momento en que lo son temporalmente y que deberia haber más, esto es algo muy típico en Final Fantasy, y no tener solo a los cuatro, que aunque me gustan como grupo, creo que en la diversidad esta el gusto. También me hubiera gustado poder controlarlos a todos, la cual cosa creo que le hubiera beneficiado al juego, pudiendo meter clases como en los antiguos, y no haciendo superpoderoso a Noctis con la excusa de que es el entronado y solo lo podemos controlar a él. Otra cosa desaprovechadisima son las invocaciones, excesivamente escasas, realmente solo hay cuatro, puesto que Bahamut y Ifrit no se pueden usar, y eso de que no se puedan usar a placer es otro error, preferiria que no fueran tan fuertes y poder usarlas cuando quisiese, al igual que las magias, ¿donde se ha visto un FF con solo piro, electro y hielo?, si el primer FF ya traía más, prefiero menos poder y más uso.

    En cuanto a la jugabilidad he de decir que yo era un poco reacio, puesto que prefiero por mucho los turnos para Final Fantasy, pero no me ha disgustado, se hacia entretenida aunque era muy simple, a veces la camara perdia un poco el control y la dificultad era irrisoria. Las mazmorras son impecables, siempre teniendo esa tensión en el ambiente, con una caracterización para los enemigos muy bién hecha, y con enemigos muy míticos, aunque he de comentar el fatídico capítulo 13, que aunque la idea no estaba mal, de cambiar un poco la jugabilidad y tal, otra vez se hizo fatal, haciendose larguísimo sin necesidad. Pero he de decir que me gusto mucho la mazmorra de Pitioss, que me sorprendió para bién. De los únicos enemigos que me quejo es justamente los más importantes, de algunos jefes y sobretodo del jefe final. Hacia tiempo que no veía una batalla tan guiada sobre raíles como la de Leviatán, parecía más una película que un juego, que decir también de los jefes que van sobre los Mechas, que literalmente aparecen de la nada te los cargas y ya está, o Ravus que no sabes absolutamente nada de él y de repente está corrupto. En cuanto a Ardyn, primero porque su historia no se explica todo lo bién que se podria, y aunque en un principio no me pareció un mal villano, a mi en algunos momentos me puso de los nervios, en el final por su excesiva facilidad y su falta de ambición o no se como explicarlo, ¿este es el jefe que dijeron que seria el más mítico de la historia de Final Fantasy? Ardyn les llega a Sephiroth, Kefka y Kuja a la suela de los zapatos solo diré eso. Por último he de criticar muy duramente las misiones secundarias, que somos los recaderos, ninguna mision secundaria tiene un mísero trasfondo medianamente interesante y por supuesto también los DLC, eso de que Gladiolus casualmente se vaya para poder meter DLC es demencial.

    En definitiva y para quien quiera leer un resumen: juego recortado para venderte DLCs, desarrollo de secundarios (los protagonistas de puta madre) paupérrimo, batalla final y de algunos jefes (Leviatán entre otros) de risa, magias y invocaciones escasísimas y mal implementadas, publicidad ingame (los noodles), jugabilidad simple y dificultad irrisoria (no usé ni una poción durante la trama principal), misiones secundarias de recadero y sin interés... sinceramente cuando lo jugué le vi un par de ideas buenas, pero muy mal desarrolladas, y si que es verdad que bien hecho hubiera sido un buen FF, pero la realidad es que es una pena pero como juego es malo, y esto no es subjetivo, todo lo que he dicho arriba son datos objetivos. Lo único que es bueno son los gráficos y la música (que para mi Shimomura ha demostrado estar al nivel de Uematsu).    … Expand

    The developer seemed to think the car (Regalia) was going to add some sort of value to the story but all it does is slow things down. When completing quests, who wants to sit for 5 minute in real time just waiting for the characters to drive to their location?

    Combat is horrible as well. Final Fantasy's best games have all utilized strategic turn-based combat. With each new iteration since FFX they keep moving more and more toward timed button-press combat. That's not what made the series so successful - why do it? They need to go back to FF VII, IX, and X and look at what made those games gems. The direction they're going in couldn't be worse.    … Expand

    Great and terrible
    exciting but boring
    realistic but nonsensical
    great characters but awful story
    It just goes on and on. There is nothing this game truly gets right, but there maybe enough buried under the half baked ideas for you to truly like the game. Even if you do love it... you'll probably say "I love it, but I know it's terrible"

    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.
