    I really think this is a fine game, great productions and combat mixed with a fairly interesting plot... just hope this doesn't mean the end for turn-based fun, still think the reviews are way too low for what this game is.

Guess they coudn't follow. The only thing holding it back are some of the side activities they feel like time killers and aren't as polished as the rest of the games.. Not to forget the game has the witcher/skyrim story syndrome; You're off to a important main mission but start to forget all about it doing side activities lol. Great game and recommended for any gamer.… Expand

    I never thought I would say this, but Final Fantasy 15 is actually pretty good. I loved 4,6,7 & 9 but 10,12 & 13 all left a fairly bad taste in my mouth, not saying they were bad games they just weren't my preferred entries.

I found myself lost exploring the beautiful open world taking on dozens of side quests for hours without touching the story. Much like the tie in film kingsglaive I found the story very rushed, poorly written and hard to follow for the most part. But the gameplay itself makes up for those shortcomings. The combat is a joy, being fairly easy to learn but hard to master. I also very much enjoyed the modern designs of classic series creatures and the modernized high fantasy world. A little disappointing is the lack of Nobou Umatses score writing, making the soundtrack a bit forgettable. This game actually renewed my interest in the series which I never would have expected.… Expand

    The people who rate this game 0's are actual idiots, what goes through their mind rating a game like this a 0 is just mind blowing, dont listen to those idiots.
    This game beautifully delivers what most JRPGs fans want.
    Story, Battle system, Characters, and Side quests were made great. This game will definitely keep me busy for a longggg time!

    - The open world is teeming with side-quests, loot and monsters of all different shapes and sizes.
    - A truly thoughtful style and art direction that uniquely blends fantasy with realism.
    - The ability to choose between all the old FF soundtracks during road trips.
    - Definitely has that 'addictive' factor.

    Cons:
    - Good story but not enough of it.
    - You cannot save in certain areas (this one isn't that big of a deal because it makes it similar to old FF games, but in this day and age it feels like a handicap)
    - No spell hierarchy (that I'm aware of yet at least)
    - They have completely ditched the traditional Final Fantasy battle system.
    - The combat takes some getting used to and enemies are very strong until you do sufficient grinding.
    - Summons are...pretty different.
    - The main story missions tend to shove you into a linear corridor that can sometimes become frustrating or tedious. Most of the time they're extremely fun though.
    - Some of the music feels stock and gets on your nerves (Lestallum's first theme song)
    - Not enough clothing options.
    - Playable character costume design couldn't be more boring.
    - Lack of playable female characters

    Despite its flaws, it still comes out on top. As someone who has been a longtime fan of the Final Fantasy series, I can honestly say this is a seriously good game that is definitely worth playing. Buy it. Love it. Do it.    … Expand

    As a huge Fan of the Final Fantasy Series (ranked as followed: 8, 7, 4, 6, 10, 12, 9, 13) its an Understatement to say that I was lookin Forward to 15. And after seing "Brotherhood" and "Kingsglaive" my Hype got beyond any measure.
    So I locked myself up with the game along with the official Piggyback Guide (man I love those!).

    So I locked myself up with the game along with the official Piggyback Guide (man I love those!).
    And since i gave this game the highest score there is on here you can already guess what I think about it.
    FF15 is outstanding.
    And sure not without its flaws.
    Yes, the ending chapters leave some to be desired (Ive seen worse though lol).
    The Magic and Summon System is Overall completely unneccessary (for the main Story Content it is).
    There are no real Towns or Cities to explore, those that are in the game leave too much to be desired (no chatting with random People, no exploring townspeople houses).
    "Safe Areas" where you can Rest, fuel the Car or shop items all look the same which leaves a copy/paste Feeling.
    Side Quests are mostly fetch quests, lots of running here and there.
    No direct commands for Team Mates. Overall difficulty (Main Story) way too easy, especially with plenty of items at Hand.
    The loading times are insanely Long and there are way too much of them especially when you fast travel.
    The camera is hectic and disturbed and even at its best moments it leaves some to be desired still since I often had a Feeling I dont really have all the control of things that I would Need.

    So, after reading all of this you may think why the hell i even thought of giving this game anything more than a 6 or 7. And to be honest, I do too after reading it lol (just kidding).
    But despite all those flaws (some of them to get patched still in future updates) FF15 is a masterpiece.
    The characters are extremely well done and I really cared for them. The Story is evolving and gripping, the overall game world is just a sight to behold and full of mystery - it begs to be explored.
    The fighting in General is also exceptionally addictive and the gameworld is breathtakingly beautiful and Exploring it gets rewarded. Theres Content to Keep you playin for about 200hours if you are that dedicated.
    The combat feels just great. Switching between Weapons/Fighting Styles makes up for plenty of great Encounters, some post game Content (Mob Hunts, Menace Dungeons) will test even the skilled FF Veterans.
    FF15 has so much charme and aesthetics, its production values Show in almost every aspect of the game.
    It has its flaws, and I can somewhat understand all Fans that are disappointed, as there are many parts of the game that leave more than just one Thing to be desired still.
    My heart screams 10/10, but I leave it at a 9, simply because that there are many things that could have been way better. Its been promised to be updated constantly, with some paid DLCs as well as free ones, along to some Major Changes in the game itself (so theres hope that at least the technical flaws like the camera and loading times will get patched) - so FF15 will also be big in 2017 still.
    It may not be the best of the series (but judging this is beyond any human measure lol), but for me as a die hard FF Fan I was captivated as much like no other RPG could in the last years - a Thing that only FF does to me, and this makes FF so magical and Special to me.    … Expand

    What an amazing Final Fantasy! Yes, it has flaws in many aspects, but the overall joy is tremendous. Not everyone will love it, but it certainly brings new feats to the genre as Final Fantasy always did.
    The best part? This is the transition, finally. I hope and feel Final Fantasy XVI will break boundaries.

    Let's start with the pros. It is a beautiful world. Seriously. There's a perfect harmony of visuals, music and originality. But it is a little small considering how long the development took. The cities are beautifully made although they're few in number. The enemies and mobs are also very well made, though still relatively few in number (considering the world size). You'll find thatLet's start with the pros. It is a beautiful world. Seriously. There's a perfect harmony of visuals, music and originality. But it is a little small considering how long the development took. The cities are beautifully made although they're few in number. The enemies and mobs are also very well made, though still relatively few in number (considering the world size). You'll find that they're reused quite often. I can't really explain how beautiful the game world is through words. I don't think there's any other game with a world that is quite as well made.

    Combat is also awesome. It's engaging and fast paced. At the start till somewhere in the middle. I have 2 gripes with combat. The extremely low number of equipment, and the fact that skills don't really affect combat much. They don't open new mechanics and combat CAN, eventually, get kind of stale after a while.

    The biggest con: the story. The story... or seemingly non-existent one. If you could do a speedrun, I'd reckon that you could finish the story in an hour. I spent more (LOTS OF) time with miscellaneous quests and leveling up rather than the story itself. Of course, given the crazy beautiful game world, I didn't mind them much at all. But the story was not well told, it was short, lacked depth and it was forgettable. The characters themselves are well made. You grow closer to them not through the story, but through constant interactions with them throughout the game.

    I don't consider the car mechanic a con unlike some other reviewers. Yes, sometimes it feels like a drag. But I understand the design choice made by the developers. If you could fast travel at anytime, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the visuals, and there wouldn't be a reason to put that much effort into world creation. (Also the reason for the chocobo travel mechanic). But if you just want a fast paced action game, this isn't for you. Take a moment to look at the game world around your character. Listen to the beautiful BGM. Listen to the banter from your teammates. Appreciate how well the game is made. Stop **** about how long it takes or how much of a pain it is. And you'll find yourself loving the game more for it.

    Which is why I'm giving this game a 15/10 just because of the beautiful game world, and deducting 6 for the crappy story. 15-6=9/10    … Expand

I know plenty of people who's favorite Final Fantasy games are some that I consider low points for the franchise. Final Fantasy XV is no different. It can't be everything to everyone. But it comes about as close as any game can!

    Final Fantasy XV tells a very grand, epic story (as you'd expect) punctuated with small, personal moments. It drew me in from the first moments of its very understated beginning. When I play a game, what I look for more than almost anything else is a world worth living in. After all, that's what we do when we play a game, we get to live in a different world. And the world of Final Fantasy XV is massive and full of beauty, danger, and delight. There's so much to explore and do in the world that it's easy to lose sight of the story.

    The battle system is quite fun. It has just enough variety and strategy (if you choose to take the less brute force approach) to keep it interesting. I didn't care for the magic system - just my preference, it wasn't fundamentally flawed or anything - and I wish there was a greater degree of control over the summons. I would've like to see more summons as well, if only because the provide the game with some of its most breathtaking spectacle.

    Final Fantasy XV is a game worth experiencing. I highly recommend it. I've loved nearly every moment in this game, and I think it bodes very well for the future of the franchise.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy XV finally hits the shelves, being announced a decade ago and having to be delayed over and over again. Final Fantasy gives us a new story, new gameplay mechanics, and new characters. Does this game triumph or does it suffer the Duke Nukem effect? Let’s find out.

Final Fantasy gives us a new story, new gameplay mechanics, and new characters. Does this game triumph or does it suffer the Duke Nukem effect? Let’s find out.

    Story: You play as prince Noctis as he is about to embark on a life-changing journey/adventure with his friend, Ignis (cook), Prompto (best friend), and Gladiolus (bodyguard). You begin by leaving your kingdom to go get married to Lady Luna Freya, to make an alliance between his kingdom and hers. Early on in his journey Prince Noctis and his friends come to discover that the imperial army has taken over his kingdom, his father has been killed, and his bride to be is missing. So now it is up to him and his loyal companions to take down the imperial army and reclaim their kingdom.

    Gameplay: Final Fantasy XV is a bit different than what some classic fans are used to, being familiar with the linear turn based RPG; that is not the case here. Final Fantasy XV is a game that combines both linear and open-world gaming; the first half of the game is open world with lots of side content, and the second half is completely linear. The combat is totally different and much more in depth than expected; this includes some timely countering, dodging and combining combos with your party. You can assign your party special attacks; along your adventure you can upgrade their abilities, and their natural abilities such as cooking, fishing, and photography. Another big part of this game is the traveling, you have a special car that takes you place to place which is mostly driven by Ignis, but when you choose to drive the controls are so stiff with the car you are better off fast traveling or just having Ignis drive the whole time. The bond between the four friends is quite remarkable and you see how it becomes stronger as the story progresses. When you’re not out in the field taking some monster down for some extra XP or driving to the next check point you are exploring dungeons, eating food, and collecting resources.

    Graphics: Final Fantasy XV does not disappoint when it comes to the graphics, improving from its predecessors and living up to the expectations of a next-gen game. Final Fantasy has always pushed the limits regarding its visuals, and XV does just that.

    Verdict: Final Fantasy XV delivers; for a game that did not have my interest, once I had it in my hands I could not put it down. With a fantastic story, unique characters, in depth combat, wonderful RPG elements, and a ton of weaponry to choose from, Final Fantasy XV is a game you do not want to skip out on this holiday season.

    Tabata san's team has been done an excellent job taking Final Fantasy to a different level in 2016, despite leaving classic combat system behind.

    Sure this is not the best Final Fantasy we have seen, but they have built a new base to start with. Final Fantasy VII Remake will definitely take advantage of this release in the future.    … Expand

    Never been a Final Fantasy fan, but this game impressed me. Graphics are at par, some glitches here and there. The acting and voice are a bit stale and poor. A lot of options but too many to count.

    Exceptional game! If you are wondering if you should be getting the game, try out the Judgment Disc demo first. Many changes have been implemented since its (the demo) release but it is still a fairly representation of the full game.

    Pros:
    Great graphics
    Great combat
    Great story
    Awesome character development

    Cons:
    Magic graphics limited to the base elements :(
    I don't particularly like to travel for v long distance but of course the car and the fast travel helps a lot.

    All in all an exceptional game!    … Expand

    -Side ops. SE should learn from CDPR for this.
    -Story telling could be improved.
    -Character. I really really need a female in the team. Simply need a female's voice in the battle to balance their "masculine chaos".    … Expand

    A return to form for Final Fantasy after the XIII debacle. Is it perfect, no. But it's the best Final Fantasy since IX.
    Great characters, despite the lack of female party members, fluid and fun battle system, amazing graphics (people saying this looks like a PS3 game are either lying or need a trip to the optometrist), a fantastic OST, and tons of side content.

    The only downside, if you can even call it that, is the story, which I don't think is even that bad.
    The funny banter that goes on with your party members is great though and fleshes the characters out. After a 15 year downward spiral since the release of X, Final Fantasy is finally back on track    … Expand

    First of all, it's a JRPG. After playing for 10 hours, here's what I think:

    Graphics - 10/10 - very high level of detail in the environment, characters and items; colors, lighting and shadows are used appropriately to affect mood Story - 8/10 certainly not the level of an unraveling story like FF7 but most certainly not the convoluted story as FFXIII; to put it simply, it's a road trip    First of all, it's a JRPG.

    O jogo possui batalhas muitos bem feitas , o mundo aberto é sensacional , as armas e summons são incríveis ... Acho que a única coisa que faltou foi uma história mais envolvente.

    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.
