    It starts pretty slow and you’ll think it’s a cheesy story but it turns out to be a really entertaining and engaging story, I loved every part of it and all the characters are so likeable I’m going to miss them

    I love open-world RPG games but I also enjoy some linear story along with it.

However, I like playing a chill game, exploring the world, and doing sidequests. This game gives you an illusion of absolute freedom but is filled with invisible barriers and lackluster environments. A lot of repetition of meshes is used and many parts of the game just dealt stale. Graphically this game is very nice but the combat is very linear. Although this game is real-time, it certainly felt very boring and unskillful. Still, I have poured a lot of hours into this game and have been steamrolling since Chapter 3. All in all, this game is worth the purchase, (Bought for $12) and contains a lot of content.… Expand

    Definitely a work of art. I like the gameplay. The game is great and still holds the spirit of the saga. Great characters but the storytelling is kind of poor, but the experiences that you can live on your own are amazing.

    This game definitively has it flaws. The story starts slow and altogether you can feel the troublesome development of the game. The two reasons I really like this game are the lovely characters and the strong emotional moments. Play the DLCs. They are mandatory for character development.

    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.

    While I have not played the Royal edition of XV despite it being objectively better, I don't want to spoil my masterful experience with XV a month after its release. The real-time combat that had you dashing everywhere was kinetic and engaging.
    The world itself was gorgeous and when you first go to Altissia, the view is nothing less than sublime. The orchestral scores and piano pieces, as well as the fantastic cover of 'Stand by Me' by Florence + The Machine from Ben E. King's classic, was great too.
    While the characters outside of Noctis and Ardyn could do with some fleshing out, the intriguing destiny the two shares helped me to overlook the weaker side characters. The story explores the prophecy of Noctis and while there are moments when it is incoherent, the simple grandeur of the tale made me love XV.

    They say that your first Final Fantasy is always your best, and while I've still got more Final Fantasies to explore, I can confidently say that XV will always be a special one for me, as it was my definitive gaming experience.    … Expand

    Nem sei por onde começar. Em fim, vamos lá. O único final Fantasy que eu tinha jogado e zerado, foi o xii, que por sinal, continua sendo meu favorito.
    Final Fantasy XV teve um desenvolvimento extremamente conturbado, principalmente na história, onde praticamente mudaram todo o enredo, que seria mais pro lado de um Romeu e Julieta sombrio. Mas a história continuou excelente(depende de quando você jogou) apesar de ter vários resquícios da alteração da história original.
    Pontos altos: > Grupo central extremamente carismáticos e a amizade deles convence bem, mas você pode estranhar no início. > Gráficos lindos
    >Historia no geral muito boa, isso quando você pode jogar as 4 dlc. Mas mesmo se jogar só a campanha principal, dará pra entender quase tudo.
    > o Gameplay é oito ou oitenta, no início você fica empolgado por essa novidade na franquia, é bem mais dinâmico e requer mais reflexos, porém depois de algumas dezenas de horas, pode ficar bem maçante.
    > Trilha sonora. Esse foi o ponto alto pra mim, sempre um jogo me vende pela trilha sonora, e esse foi umas das melhores que ouvi, principalmente por eu estar órfão desde que zerei Bloodborne. Diferente de muitas outras, essa trilha ajuda a se conectar a história profundamente, principalmente pela faixa Somnus que se encaixa perfeitamente no capítulo final e toda jornada que levou até ali. Pontos Negativos:
    > Apesar de ter um mundo extremamente grande e muito bonito, comente o mesmo erro de uma tal Ubisoft, onde os mundos são extremamente vazios(mortos), por mais que tenha monstros, missões, atividades e etc.. não passa a sensação que você em um mundo orgânico como: the witcher, Skyrim, RDR2 ou até Horizon zero dawn(que não acho grande coisa). > missões secundárias ridículas: você é o rei dos reis, tem poderes de deuses, mas tem missões que pede pra você: tirar fotos, pegar temperos, concertar carros, buscar e levar encomendas, eu sei que é o padrão dos JRPG, mas poderiam ter dado uma diversificada ou melhorado a história dessas missões como tantos outros rpg fazem. > A falta de desenvolvimento de personagens tão interessantes. Eles são apresentando na trama, você simpatiza com eles e depois simplesmente somem: Ravus, Cor Leonis e Aranea. > falta de diversidades nas Dungeons, onde são 12, mas metade são iguais, principalmente na secretas. > Falta de desafio, o jogo é extremamente fácil, principalmente depois que você consegue o anel(mas você não é obrigado a usar.) > Magias, o lance de praticamente só ter 4 tipos de magia de ataque é ridículo, principalmente quando você é que cria elas, que não faz nenhum sentido. > Apesar dos summons serem bem incríveis e colossais, a mecânica de usar ele é extremamente complicada e há poucos, só pode usar 4(5 se fizer uma missão secundária), tanto que zerei, platinei e só consegui usar 3(fora da história principal). .
    Mesmo com tantos pontos Negativos, na balança o saldo fica bem positivo. É engraçado que me liguei muito mais a história de ter zerado e escutado a trilha sonora, elas ajudaram a conectar muito em toda a lore principalmente as faixas: Standy by me(a letra se encaixa perfeitamente com a situação daquele grupo), Somnus, Hellfire(perfeita) Apocalypsis Noctis(por mais que as batalhas contra os deuses sejam fáceis, não há como não ficar empolgado com ela).    … 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.
