    Final Fantasy XV features a simple yet understandable story, seemingly lacking compared to epics such as past Final Fantasy games, but is presented as a massive road trip, which leaves a lasting impression to the player. You traverse the game's world with Prince Noctis and his friends Gladiolus (bodyguard), Ignis (butler, driver, cook) and Prompto (photographer) riding the Regalia, the King's personal luxury car. Along the way comical relief Prompto takes photos of the whole band in various circumstances, which can be seen at the end of the day and saved in a photo album if the player wants to. The boys have to rest at night so they can cash-in their earned XP, and they can rest either at hotels/motels (with bonus XP) or camp out in the wild (where you cook food and get buffs). The combat system is simple and the action is real-time, not turn-based like other JRPGs. The soundtrack is truly epic and regal, matching the game's themes. The story is simple. Young Prince Noctis has lost his father King Regis from enemy assassination and his Kingdom of Lucis has been invaded by the evil empire of Niflheim, so Noctis has to take it back and save the world from the beasts ravaging it.

    The game is primarily set in an open world in the Kingdom of Lucis with beautiful and varied terrain, but initially there is not much of story backdrop or story progression, which is a strange choice because the average player won't care about the game as much. In the open world you can perform a few story missions, many side quests or many more beast hunts. Later on the game becomes more linear and is set in other regions to drive the plot to its conclusion, and the player is given the ability to go back and forth between the open world and the other regions. After the story ends there is post-game content, comprising of more side quests and high level beast hunts. There is also a New Game Plus mode, too.

    At this point I have to warn players that unfortunately Final Fantasy XV feels somewhat incomplete and rushed, because the story is minimal, some important characters are killed off-screen with no explanation, many unanswered questions remain, while some of the later regions are over too soon. The true enemy of Noctis is not the one we all initially thought, a surprising twist I didn't see coming, but still it was underwhelming. If you want to learn more of the Final Fantasy XV backstory you 'd better watch the Kingsglaive movie and the Brotherhood anime mini-series on Youtube. Thankfully the developers have added some scenes from the Kingsglaive movie via free DLC to flesh out the story. Game producer Hajime Tabata has promised to keep updating the game for many more months with free and paid DLC, but I doubt the team are going to do anything major as rewriting the story.

    All in all, Final Fantasy XV is a rushed game that should have been terrific, and needed more development time in order to address its problems. It still is a great experience, though. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the game as it is, and I think any RPG fan should play this game.    … Expand

    After 10 long years, FFXV has finally released. Now the question is " Was it worth the wait?"

    Yes, I believe it was. I am 20 hours into the game and I am enjoying the open world it gives me along with it's sidequests and I am still only beginning the story. The combat is nice and flows well most times. The ascension and elemancy are good at building up your characters and their spells.    After 10 long years, FFXV has finally released.

    The ascension and elemancy are good at building up your characters and their spells. The characters, while clever, do get annoying as they repeat their dialogue over and over.

    But there are some bugs every now and again like pixels will get distorted when I do link attacks or imperial dropships will glitch and start moving like a student driver is at the wheel then it will go through the map I'm on.    … Expand

    Story - As far from previous final fantasy games (except FF13), they usually have interesting to great story or plot but as far as FFXV goes, it is still dissapointing despite the hype. The main story is short for a open world game, the story is too simple, too serious sometimes, and some parts are annoying and majority of the characters are unlikable or not even memorable except the mainStory - As far from previous final fantasy games (except FF13), they usually have interesting to great story or plot but as far as FFXV goes, it is still dissapointing despite the hype. The main story is short for a open world game, the story is too simple, too serious sometimes, and some parts are annoying and majority of the characters are unlikable or not even memorable except the main antagonist (wont spoil) and the leading lady which are for me the best characters in the game, they are even better than the boyband protagonist. As summary for the story, Noctis the prince of Lucis on the day the start of the game will have a wedding ceremony with Lunafreya, A former princess of Tenebrae and an oracle for a peace treaty between Lucis and Nifleheim. However, While Journeying to the place of the wedding, the group learned on the way that the empire of Nifleheim have betrayed Lucis and stole its crystal, in addition, King Regis (Father of Noct), Lunafreya and Noctis himself has been announced dead following the betrayal. It is now Noctis and his friends mission to take back Lucis from his enemies and also recover ancient artifacts which he can use against Nifleheim. The story then includes some complications and shows secrets in between. The side quests really doesnt help either since most are just fetching quests which are repetitive nowadays in open world games. Still though, I love the interaction of the main characters in game though. A score of 7/10.

    Gameplay - The game borrowed the gameplay mechanics of another big Square enix title Kingdom Hearts. It is simple, action packed and nice for an RPG game. It is satisfying. Another good addition on the game is the things you can do in the world, fishing, riding cars, getting selfies and many other things that makes the world alive and fun. However, the cons of the game is you can only control Noctis in game. You cant use other characters, in addition, the spell mechanic of this game is bad. so bad that i wont recommend you doing a magic build. Another thing to note is that shops are almost unusable since the only thing you can buy from them are weapons and a few items. A score of 8/10 will suffice.

    Graphics - Since the coming of PS3, gone are the days that Square Enix titles are the forefront of advanced graphics and beautiful scenery and environment. However, I can tell you that this game is BEAUTIFUL. The environment are gorgeous. The thing i really love from this game is the design of the monsters especially those large ones which are gargantuan in size. It is even better than the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 in terms of World and monster designs. So pretty, a score of 10/10

    Music and sound - Im neutral on this one. This game really highlighted retro music of past FF games. It is good for me and fun, however, due to this, the game didnt put much new music for the ears to listen too. If you are a gamer of past FF games. You will be familiar with majority of the games soundtrack. As to voice acting, the english version sucks. They are literally out of place, everyone is made like an FF character design and identical if you take away the bad haircuts or ridiculous and faces then suddenly you have one who speaks british accent, mexican accent, etc. I prefer gamers to use the japanese version. A score of 7/10.

    Overall average = 8

    Finally, We're all here playing this game which spent 10 years to make. It is satisfying, fun and as a gamer of previous FF games. It is both a familiar and new experience for me. Is it good? OF COURSE IT IS. but is it better and revolutionary compared to some previous FF Games? OF COURSE NO. But regardless, this is still a must buy for those FF enthusiast out there. Congrats to Square Enix for putting their best to finally finish this game. Thanks    … Expand

    While the first act more than lives up to it's exciting open world billing the latter stages of the game, with one in particular, become far too tedious. It's a fun little journey, full of campy and somber moments alike, that makes you wish you would never reach your destination.

    Regarding the gameplay, I think this new action-RPG approach is taking the franchise in a good direction and it brings the combats to a higher level of enjoyment. Unlike other Final Fantasy games, I didn't really need to do level grinding in order to progress through the story (except for chapter 14) completing only the side quests I was feeling like doing, which makes everything more dynamic.

    The only negative things about this game are: bad camera handling (sometimes I lost track of Noctis) especially during combat ; the story is told poorly with gaps here and there ; and many of the side quests are irrelevant which makes completing 100% of them not really attractive.    … Expand

    Gonna be a long post here, but for anybody interested in FFXV, I suggest you take a few minutes to give it a read. I'm a life long fan of the franchise, and have a LOT to say about it. No worries here, because it will all be spoiler free as far as story goes.

I'm a life long fan of the franchise, and have a LOT to say about it. No worries here, because it will all be spoiler free as far as story goes.
    It's been about 10 years since a game called Final Fantasy Versus XIII was shown. That game would later on become known as Final Fantasy XV. Many people were waiting a long time for this to come out obviously (especially since XII wasn't really all that good, and XIV is an MMO) people wanted another solid single player FF and to many XV was the answer. So does it hold up? Was it worth the wait? What does it have to offer? Let's dive right on in, and figure it out.
    Graphics: The game is very pretty to look at which is no surprise, but it does feel like it has cut corners in certain departments. One of which is many of the NPC's look generic, and are constantly reused with different color schemes. The models just seem choppy, and even worthy of PS2 quality. Also a few of the enviroments are bland, and come off bland, empty, and open. Despite these minor discrepancies, the game looks great for the most part, and really shows off some magnificent art and detail. The main character models look good, and detailed. Some of the enemies really look savage, and threatening. Animations for most models look good, but again going back to the NPC's...many of them move about in an awkward fashion, and though this is a JRPG, the lipsync is still kind of goofy. Don't worry it's still better than X's lipsyncing.
    Combat: This is the biggest change the game has to offer. It's not turn based, and you don't use any other characters, besides the main protagonist. It's pure action combat. Think of it playing similar to Kingdom Hearts. Luckily the combat is very responsive, and easy to get used to after a bit of practice. Learning to dodge, and use the correct weapons in the right situations is crucial for victory. You can also eat/camp to buff your characters up before a tough battle. Many weapons are available for use in FFXV, anywhere from guns to swords. Variety is definitely a welcome aspect, but again you will have to make sure you know what weapons work against certain enemies, or a fight can take much longer. Weapons are the strong suit in this game, but sadly I can't say the same for magic, which is another staple in the series. Magic is very limited in the game, and comes with a cooldown after use. Granted the magic is quite powerful if crafted correctly....but you wont be seeing many spells here. Mainly just fire, ice, and lightning (with a few exceptions much later in the game.) so don't go expecting to cast off ultimas, flares, meteors, etc. Total bummer. I do hope that they fix the magic system because it just seems so lackluster. Luckily the weapon combat is solid, and you may even be able to use a few summons on your adventure as well. There are also joint attacks (which take the place of limit breakers) and can prove to be quite useful in not only hurting the enemy, but also giving you a bit of breathing room. Each character has a few of these attacks to unlock, and they will be crucial to victory.
    Leveling System/Ascension: EXP is present in this game, and of course plays a big role. There is also AP which allows you to upgrade your characters and various other aspects of the game. Your EXP stocks up and will not level you up unless you go to camping grounds or an inn. This is very important! Let me explain as to why that is. Let's say I have 20k EXP stocked up on my characters, and I decide to go to an inn so it will start to level my team up. Certain inns will yield an XP bonus. I have seen it range from 1.2k boost to 3.0 boost. Obviously inns that yield a bigger bonus will cost more to stay at. So if you want to level up significantly faster, then that would be your best bet. Now let's say I go to a camping ground to level up and rest up. Camping will not yield bonus XP, but instead offers you the option to buff your characters up with a meal. Some of these LIMITED buffs offer a huge bonus in HP, XP gain (for fights after you camp) and attack power. This is a good option to use if you are stuck at that boss that keeps giving you trouble, and you need an extra boosts in stats. However there are also diners all over the world that have a limited selection of meals to eat that will boost stats. These are also on a time limit, and you can only buff yourself up with one meal at a time. So don't go in thinking you're going to eat 3 things and get all the benefits from every meal. It will just replace the stats from your prior meal. IT DOES NOT STACK! Now that all that is out of the way let me go in depth with Ascension. AP is required to up your Ascension skills. Some of these include new moves, permanent EXP gain, and the ability to equip more accessories. It's a very simplistic system, and is clearly intended to not put too much pressure on new players to the series. I wont say anything else on it, because there just really isn't much else to say. It's kind of a weak system as far as customizing goes, however AP is shared between all characters so you can really go to town on it.
    Exploration: The first half of the game has a lot to explore, while the second half of the game is much weaker, and linear. However it is very story driven, and attempts to finish telling the story. There are many things to find on the world map, such as loot, ingredients for cooking, ores for car customization, and a few weapons here and there. There are also hunts, and dungeons as well. Many of these are optional, but recommended. You can traverse the lands on foot, in your car, or my personal favorite: Chocobo! Also worth noting that your car is upgradeable so it will perform better, and your choco will level up, which in turn also improves his/her performance. The choco gains new skills/stats automatically. All you have to do is ride it, and in time it will level up. There is another method of transportation, but I'm sure any FF vet already knows what that involves. There are many areas and sidequests to explore, but I didn't find much loot in way of weapons/accessories. This kind of bummed me out because I like a vast number of weapons I can pick and choose from. This now brings me to my next category...
    Weapons/Accessories: The main protagonist can use any weapon/magic in the game. The others are set only to use 2 types of weapons, and any magic in the game. Certain weapons obviously yield certain stats, and possibly some sort of elemental buff as well. Pretty standard, and again I feel they made it this way to go easy on the newer players. There are some upgradeable weapons, but it's very basic. Don't go expecting the weapon system to be like FFVII where you can slap materia on it, and make it a powerhouse. Ain't happening! The game also offers accessories. These are pretty standard in FF titles. Some give EXP bonus, and some give more HP/MP/ETC. You can unlock more accessory slots via ascension so that's cool. There is no way to upgrade your accessories (at least not that i'm aware of) so don't hold your breath on that. Also going back to FFVII this game kind of reminded me of it, because there is no armor in the game. Just fatigues. Basically different skins for your character to wear. I haven't noticed any sort of advantage to them, and they seem to be purely cosmetic.So just like FFVII you only have to worry about weapon/accessory load out. No armor. Which is a bummer, because adding armor into the game adds depth/challenge.
    Skills: Each character has a given skill that they can do. For example Noctis can trigger a fishing mini game at various fishing holes. The fishing mini game is done well, and can yield fish that provide items/food for camping. The skill levels up as well, and will give more bonuses to you. Ignis can cook for the team at a campground which as stated before can buff the team up with some great temporary stat boosts. The more he cooks for the team, the higher the level goes. Gladio has survival tactics that focus on collecting more items after a battle. The more you travel on foot, the more it levels up, and last but not least is prompto who has the photography skill. Probably one of the coolest skills in the game. He can basically chronicle your entire journey with photos. The more photos taken, means the more photography levels up.You can even share your exploits on social media if you desire. A cool little feature that I hope more games do. It's kind of hard to take a snapshot in battle with other games, so maybe this one will set the bar, since all photography is automatic. You can also save up to 150 pictures. So save those memories! The skill system is something that is again, very simplistic, but at least adds a bit more of depth.
    Music/Sound: No complaints here. Nothing but praise. The music is very good, the sound of a sword slicing, or a gun shooting is pleasing. The voice acting is top notch, and if that wasn't enough for you...well you even get to listen to past Final Fantasy music in your car while you drive to your next objective (so long as you don't fast travel!) You can even purchase an MP3 player in-game and listen to it while travelling on foot! Pretty cool idea!
    Story: It can be a bit confusing and lackluster at times. A lot of stuff happens off screen. I'm wondering if that is due to the DLC that will be coming out in the future. There isn't much backstory on the boys either. I hope you enjoy anime, and CGI movies, because there is an hour long anime called brotherhood that explains the characters a bit more in-depth, and then there is the movie called Kingsglaive which I still haven't seen, but again gives more insight to the overall struggle between the empire and Lucis. I feel that they really did skimp out on story with this installment, but for what it is worth, the bit they do give you is very interesting, and I wont spoil anything here, but this game probably had one of the best endings in gaming history. Just pay attention, and you may see or hear some interesting things! Also seriously if you do like Anime, then I suggest checking out Brotherhood. It's not balls out action, but it does have some, and the stories are good and hold weight. Don't bother with it if you don't plan to play this though, as nothing will really make any sense to you.
    So that's about all I can think of off the top of my head about this game. My final thoughts on it are pretty clear that I do like this game (please refer to attached photo) and I may not think that it was worth a 10 year wait, but it's better than XIII.....but nowhere near as good as XIV....or XII (which will have an HD release next year with a bunch of new things for NA audiences to enjoy)This however is still a solid entry in the series, and Square has already announced that it plans to update the game with new features such as added cutscenes to explain some of the happenings that occurred off-screen, a possible character switching system, a new game plus mode, and other free updates to keep the game running smoothly, and keep the player playing for a long time. Seriously though, how come they didn't just add new game plus before launch? One thing to remedy with the lack of new game plus for now is that you can continue playing the game to wrap up any loose ends after you beat it. Gotta beat them super bosses! So in time the game should get better, but in the meantime just enjoy it for what it is. A good solid RPG with enough content to have you playing for hours on end. To the few that actually read this, thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on it. Happy Gaming!    … Expand

    Overall Final Fantasy XV is a great game, however a flawed one at that. Like 2015's MGS V (a phenomenal title) FFXV has a noticeably 'patch-work' storyline which can be very jarring at times, as whole segments are skipped over or diluted in some way.

Like 2015's MGS V (a phenomenal title) FFXV has a noticeably 'patch-work' storyline which can be very jarring at times, as whole segments are skipped over or diluted in some way. Moreover, the transition from open-world to linearity, by the end of the game, is slightly disappointing as (following from chapter 8) many areas that could've been opened up to free exploration, were relegated to a 'corridor-esque' experience (especially chapter 13, a significant low point during the course of the plot). A few other negatives would include: the majority of sidequests being bland, uninteresting, and uninspired fetchquests; the villain (although intriguing and enigmatic-if somewhat obvious-at first) being made a typical, maniacal bad-guy; and issue of the camera being hard to negotiate whilst in combat (especially in tight spaces, such as dungeons).
    Moving on from the negatives, FFXV boasts great dungeon design (for the most part), beautiful visuals and stunning vistas, very human interactions between the main characters (in spite of their archetypal natures and average voice acting, they develop into very likeable characters), fun and engaging combat and levelling systems, and ultimately a satisfactory ending despite it all.
    In conclusion, FFXV holds up to be a fundamentally good and fun game in spite of its tumultuous development cycle and its most glaring flaws. I can recommend this game to anyone who has a passion for RPGs in general, as I was drawn in by its core gameplay, charm and music alone having only played one JRPG in my life and having otherwise coming away from its story a little disgruntled.    … Expand

You can update your abilities as you progress and need to think with certain enemies how to beat them. It is not button mashing but tweaking abilities. I really liked the world and traveling around. Now for the bad... There are ridiculous amounts of times you get caught up by an inch high cliff and the surrounding where you cannot get through something or you cannot see something. The other issue is how SLOW you drive. I mean you have a car that looks like a Bugatti that is almost a character in and of itself and yet it goes 55 everywhere? Lame. That and a lot of 'loading....' were a reason I did not like this game enough to dock it two grades. It seemed well worth the weight in depth, what you could do, exploration, difficulty keeping you entertained. But the loading and bad getting stuck was lame at times. But maybe on the PC it loads faster, on the PS4 it was slow at times. Near playing 30 plus hours on it I was starting to be like: "Come on load!" when doing fast traveling. Overall the game is worth playing and the good story, good characters and actual fun of fighting enemies makes it feel like a return to form. I would not rate it as high as FF7, FF8, FF6, or FF12 but it definitely is light years better than FF13 and I would say it is in the middle of the pack overall of FF games for fun.… Expand

    The atmosphere and aesthetic is fantastic, characters are cool, love the photography, cooking and fishing, resting at campfires, on a roadtrip.

    Loving the open world and questing, finding treasures and gathering food, great stuff. Fishing is interesting, it's not just throw and reel, see for yourself.

    I've only played 6 hours so far as I got it today and I have somewhat of a life so this is just my impression up to now, I imagine it can only get better and better with introduction to bosses + other areas of the map!!
    Looking forward to seeing some cool looking buildings later on where the s**t goes down!

    Things I dislike:

    Driving - You're not really free to drive, even if you select manual driving, you basically just have control over accelerating, moving on to the wrong side of the road, turning left or right, U-turns and the handbrake. You can't go driving off road, that was a bit of a disappointment I admit BUT not anything that bothers me too much.

    Music - Not a big fan, one of the reasons I love Final Fantasy games is for the soundtrack, and at the moment I can't say I'm enjoying the soundtrack. However, you can play the soundtracks of past games through the radio in the car, so that's something at least! :)    … Expand

    Final Fantasy 15 is an enjoyable ride from beginning to end, even though it might stumble from a few questionable design choices in the later half. I loved the way Square Enix took four dudes in S&M clothing and turned them into some of the franchises most human characters.

Thank you Square Enix for continuing my favorite franchise of all time! It was worth the wait. I recommend this to any fan of the franchise, and also anybody who enjoys a brilliantly made open world, rpg, or action game! This game will touch your emotions and your heart!

    This is a game of vast potential which is mostly hampered by the atrocious side quests which lead to an inconsistent storyline.

    For starters this game has among the best graphics and breathtaking landscapes I have ever seen, alongside The Witcher 3. The special effects in combat also work extremely well and don't seem to cause any major fps drops (atleast with PS4). The combat system of this game is also one of the most addicting ones I have witnessed, it starts out slowly and adds up to be quite diverse with link strikes, short term god mode, spells, summons and a wide variety of weapons to choose from. The only disadvantages I found in combat are the camera which can sometimes be annoying and the fact that the flow of combat must often be interrupted (changing gear through menus mid-combat, changing from Active to Wait mode in combat etc.).

    Now for the story elements. The main story itself is quite engaging but the best part are your travelling companions who are truly the backbone of this game. Roaming the world with them really feels like a trip with your friends (with some touching insight into their psyche sometimes involved -I'm looking at you Prompto) and ultimately ends up absolving this game of its vices. The biggest problem with the game however are the side-quests.

    They are completely uninspired and completely disconnected from the game's events. Some really tragic stuff is going down in the main line and you are running around catching frogs. In addition, the quests are extremely repetitive (find gem, bring gem, get another quest to bring another gem) and the rewards are somewhat mediocre themselves, so you will mostly run around doing repetitive and boring side quests to accumulate experience. One partial solution around this would have been if they had adjusted the main storyline a bit beforehand to offer some purpose to the future king running around playing everyone's doormat (Like they did with the soul-saving mechanism in Lightning Returns)

    Overall, if you can overlook the issue with the side quests (seriously, who thought of them?), this game is totally worth diving into and will reward you with some memorable moments.    … Expand

I will also be holding off on bringing up any spoilers, because this review is purely meant to highlight the pros and cons of this title.

    Being a fairly devout fan of the Final Fantasy series (Up until Final Fantasy 13), I can safely say that I've had a love-hate relationship with the franchise over time. That being the case, I've found myself being extremely cautious when it came to this title, due to the negative direction of the franchise as a whole over the past few years. Though, I'd have to say that I was quite pleasantly surprised at the standard of quality among the series that's set by this game. Though, there are some pretty noticeable problems.

    - Overall Atmosphere -

    Final Fantasy 15 is among my Top 5 favourite Final Fantasy games now (My favourites being; FF5,FF6,FF7,FF9,FF15). This is because it rekindled my love for the overarching aesthetic of the Final Fantasy universe! The world in FFXV is beautiful, and is more than likely going to captivate anyone who can experience the game first hand. Its sprawling landscapes, mysterious geological anomalies, and beautiful cultural locations give life to a world that could only dwell in a Final Fantasy game. Alongside the world, the game has a fairly satisfying combat system, which will leave you feeling like an absolute badass at the end of most fights. But we'll speak more about the combat system later in this review.

    - Story -

    The main story, on the other hand, is largely subjective. This is due primarily to its quite blatant problem when it comes to the story lacking a consistently entertaining experience. At times the story can be engrossing and will have you loving the characters and atmosphere. Though, on several occasions it leaves you waiting for something overwhelmingly extravagant to happen, when nothing ends up happening at all. For instance, there is a certain chapter in which the game loses all momentum and leaves you hoping that the segment will end very soon. This can be regarded as a large issue, especially when speaking of a Final Fantasy game. Though, there is one arguably good/bad change (depending on how you look at it) to the story's progression and details. The story of FFXV is immensely more comprehensive than most Final Fantasy games' narratives, which is actually somewhat of a drawback, in my opinion.

    - Post-Game Activities -

    The post-game activities (Things you can do after the story is complete) are replete with a variety of interesting and uninteresting quests and objectives. Some of which will have you exploring dungeons and fighting fantastic creatures, while others will just be boring fetch quests that add nothing to the overall experience. There are also many separate outlying dungeons and areas in which you will be tasked with acquiring Royal Arms and many other rare weapons, accessories, and items which allow you to personalize your experience in exploration and combat. But there is only so much you can do, which may leave you tired of playing the game for subsequent hours after completion.

    - Characters -

    Love 'em or hate 'em, it's all up to how you view these characters in the end. Generally speaking, the characters are much more in-depth than what they initially come off to be. Plus, they exude a certain wittiness that some may find annoying, and others may find charming and quirky. I'm not going to say much else regarding the characters, being that it's primarily preferential whether you like them or not.

    - Combat -

    The combat looks and feels fierce during large sequences and against powerful enemies. But if you were hoping to have your very sanity challenged by a painstaking and bloodletting challenge akin to a Dark Souls perma-death run, you've come to the wrong place. The combat, while visually satisfying, is not challenging at all (In my opinion). Even larger boss battles can be very forgiving, when all you have to do is stock up on restoratives (Phoenix Downs, Elixirs, (Hi)-Potions, etc). Restoratives make you borderline invincible , due to the fact that you and your team could be completely wiped out, and all you have to do is use one Mega-Phoenix, then everyone is back on their feet with full health and a decent status buff.

    - Conclusion -

    I couldn't touch on some of the more minor topics, due to the 5000 character limit. But if you're interested in a visually stimulating, slightly more in-depth hack and slash game with a fun and lively atmosphere, along with a few glitches/problems, I would highly recommend that you check out Final Fantasy 15! I hope you find my opinion of the game helpful!    … Expand

    The story starts out easy to follow, but starts to lose its steam around its second act. It quickly becomes a mess of confusion as most Final Fantasy stories do. There are some jarring transitions to certain areas in the game that seem to carry little purpose. Although its third act is VERY short compared to the first two, it wraps up the story quite nicely and gives a very nice feel-good moment, thanks to the strong characters. Most other Final Fantasy casts aren't as likable, despite what some nostalgia-blind folk might tell you. This cast really does make the story worth seeing through to the end.

    If you're not one for story and characters, then the gameplay is rock solid. The combat is similar to that seen in the Kingdom Hearts series. It's fast, frantic, and fun. Attacks flow well, and you have special abilities that your partners can use for various purposes. Multiple enemies can become a chore if you don't defeat them fast enough, but it doesn't take away from a very solid and enjoyable core system. In my opinion, it beats just about any turn-based system out of the water.

    Overall, it's a game that puts its story behind its fun characters and equally fun gameplay. A gorgeous world packed full of giant creatures to battle, which can only be taken advantage of fully with the current open world and free flowing combat systems.    … Expand

The story is the biggest problem with the game. It's far too fast paced and never slows down. The game just felt like it wanted to end as soon as possible. Unfortunately this also leads to problems with the characters. The main 4 are fine and are quite possibly some of my favorite in the franchise. The side characters however are hardly there. Even characters like Luna and Cor, two heavily advertised characters are hardly there. It doesn't give us any time to get attached or to even get to know anyone outside of the main 4. The Altissia segment i think highlights all of this the best. You do 2 short quests, meat 2 new characters that you never see again and you're done. This being said not everything about it was bad. I think if it was just better paced and told it would have been absolutely fantastic. As i said the main 4 are great, there's a very real sense of comradery between them that i've never seen in a final fantasy or even most games before. Throughout the story i found myself caring about these 4 more and more which did surprise me considering the stories issues. The ending was also pretty damn great even making me tear up a bit.

    Gameplay is where i think the game shines. While it does have the problems that a lot if not all open world games suffer from. The combat was so fun that i never really found myself minding at all. The combat is probably the most fun i've had in a final fantasy game. If you like kingdom hearts chances are you'll love the combat. The leveling system i think is pretty damn unique i can't say for sure if i'd like it to be a thing in all FF's but i can say that if they make a XV-2 i hope they stick with it. There was also some things i wasn't really expecting like the AP or the variety of weapons. The skills were also a very nice touch. Each one of the main 4 has a skill that they can use that skill being that characters hobby, Noctis likes to fish, Prompto takes pictures, Gladio is an outdoorsman and Ignis likes to cook. Some are more useful than others ignis probably being the most useful. The fishing mini-game is pretty nice, probably the most realistic fishing in a game that's not a fishing sim. Food buffs are also a very nice touch to the game and something i hope is carried on in future titles. The chocobo riding is pretty great too allowing for an alternate form of travel as well as a pretty fun mini-game. The gameplay's not perfect though i think the magic system should have been expanded further and summoning shouldn't be as powerful or random as it is. Riding around in the car can be a bit mundane though personally i liked it. As i said before it does suffer from problems the open world genre as a whole has. There's also everything after the open world segment. Now everything after the open world part of the game is honestly not very long and a lot of people have problems with it. Me personally i didn't mind it. It wasn't great but i think i'd have more of a problem with it had it lasted longer.

    Misc praises and criticisms:
    The games music is absolutely fantastic
    The game looks fantastic
    I really liked some of the side quest characters
    I wish there was more unique towns in the game.
    This is one of the few games to actually do night correctly.
    There should have been more to Altissa and the last parts of the game.

    I've put almost 90 hours into the game so far and while the game does very much have story problems I enjoyed the bulk of the gameplay. FFXV isn't perfect but i can say i look forward to whatever Squenix decides to do next and i just hope they do a better job of telling those stories.    … Expand

The saddest part of this game is knowing what it could have been given the time it deserved. Every aspect of this game is beautiful yet unfinished. You are continually led along intricately detailed pathways that lead to dead ends or seem to head in one direction before awkwardly diverting down a different and underwhelming route. You can literally see the seams where portions of the game were cut apart and pasted together to make a 2016 release deadline, and its sad, because you are continuously aware of the team's hope for there to have been so much more. The most noticeable seams being where they hacked apart the narrative leaving a story both incomplete and unintelligible. Despite this, the core characters are reasonably well written and it is their journey that keeps this hodgepodge collage of a video game glued together in a way that amazingly still works so well. Positives for me: Cooking, Camping/Hotels/, Monsters/Bosses, Photography, Dungeons, World Design. Let Downs: All villains besides Ardyn, npc design/animation and general programming/ All characters besides main four are ankle deep or shallower, cities are barely explorable, Side quests are repetitive and poorly written. Narrative makes zero sense unless you spend hours researching online. It's easy to gripe about how a game could have been better, and I was spoiled by playing the Witcher III just before this, but even so, a very positive experience.… Expand

Its a decent little Advent Story style movie, fit with Action and a small lead up to the world, so you can understand what kind of world your living in.

    The game's graphic are well done, and the soundtrack isn't the level of previous final fantasy's but I think nostalgia is to blame for that one. The open world is a nice touch, and the car for the life of me, I can't understand why people are dogging on it. when final fantasy has had everything from robots, airships, motorcycles, cars and beasts to ride on since its birth.

    The Sphere grid I'm a little mixed on. always have been since 10 but, its not terrible.

    The Magic system is what it is, because of the world your in. Yes Final fantasy has traditionally been about dungeons and dragons quality wizards an sorcery but this is a timeline where the King controls most of the Magic and is part of the entire reason it exists for those in the world. Magic is scarce and set to only the chosen and those, the chosen share to.

    Combat system is fairly well done, with the exception of holding the button down to win.. This should have been fixed with perhaps a difficulty setting where new comers that want to just see story and not worry about combat perchance get to speed through it like other games. (Kingdom hearts has an easy mode as well) All in all the pace is well done, and the action reminds me of Dirge of Cerberus more so then anything else.

    No female characters? That's fine, sure this is a bromance game of Noctis and his 3 Guardians, but hating on it because it lacks a strong female protagonist is silly.

    Storyline could have been more fleshed out and the world could have had more to do in it, but all in all its about what would be expected from a video game of today's standards.

    I'm going to clarify something that most fans seem to miss.. Your not fan of the final fantasy series, your a fan of Hironobu Sakaguchi who hasn't made a final fantasy since X. Which would explain why 12, 13 and 15 are so mediocre compared to the rest. Your not dealing with the Mastermind who created Final Fantasy, but his successor that tried to salvage the name.

    As a final fantasy? Its lacking, but the name died over 10 years ago so that is a moot point. As a Video game, its rather entertaining, and I have no golden pedestal to put it on because the name is a misnomer for a Title long expired.

    All in All I would rate this higher then the last trashy titles I've played in the last 5 years. I can't name but a few RPG titles that even peaked my interest including the Tales Series (Last game being terrible) and the Trails of Cold Steel/In the Sky Series.

    Take the game for what it is, and don't put labels on it that it doesn't deserve or rate it from a standpoint that is fallible.    … Expand

    Bem vamos começar tirando o elefante da sala em Final Fantasy XV a Square Enix apostou em um formato multimídia para contar a história do jogo incluindo um filme e um anime que trazer parte integral da trama e que recomendo fortemente que assistam caso queira compreender melhor a história do jogo, caso contrário você se sentira perdido no que está acontecendo na trama principal.
    A história da guerra travada entre o Reino de Lucis e o império de Niflheim e o embate clássico entre as forças da luz contra trevas carrega o espirito da série porem se vê prejudicada por ter sido fatiada em diversas mídias e conter resquícios de ideias que perpetuavam a trama de Versus XII e que parecem incompletas ou mal explicadas no game atual, esse talvez seja o maior defeito que resume Final Fantasy XV um projeto ambicioso demais que apesar de ser bom muitas vezes passa a sensação de que poderia ser algo épico e muito mais interessante.
    Dito isso vamos a parte boa o jogo inova em seu sistema de combate trazendo algo muito mais dinâmico que lembra de certa maneira os combates da série Kingdon Hearts porem possuindo mais peso e necessitando de mais tática, não se engane FF XV e um RPG e um Final Fantasy antes de tudo sendo necessário usar bem a combinação de poções elementos tipos de armas e combos para se fazer realmente eficiente. O jogo possui um mundo aberto belo e com muito conteúdo como: dugeons, chcocobos e principalmente as caçadas tudo isso acompanhado de uma emocionante trilha sonora e belos gráficos.
    Apesar de tudo isso ser posto de lado por um entediante afunilamento que transforma o jogo em um corredor em seu último terço deixando um gosto amargo em um bom jogo que tem como ponto mais forte o elo entre o Noctis e seus amigos uma relação que se aprofunda e se mostra viva nos mínimos detalhes, relação está com que faz com que esse jogo valha apena para novos e antigos fãs da franquia, Final Fantasy XV pode não ser perfeito ou ser o que esperávamos depois de 10anos mas é sim um bom Final Fantasy que merece ter sua historia jogada.    … 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.
