    I expected more from 10 years. I liked it in the start but it quickly went down hill, the side quests are MMORPGish in deapth (run there and get me this), the main story is messy and boring, I get teary-eyed from dog videos on facebook, stuff in this game meant to move you doesn't move you an inch.

    Update: I lied, I had not cleared the game when I posted the update, but though the game could not disappoint me any more than it did, oh was I wrong. Messy story, does not move me an inch (i shed a tear over puppy videos on youtube), just a bad, bad game. I like japanese games, the Tales series are fun, I like close to cringey japanese story moments in anime and games, I like MMO quests to a certain degree, but FFXV just doesn't do it for me. The game quickly funnels into a linear nightmare towards the last quater of the game, and here the nightmarish mess that is the combat camera becomes clear. According to the amount of praise this game gets it seems I just don't like Final Fantasy any longer, my love for the franchise died with FFX.    … Expand

    is a good game. Has a great history. Made me cry and laugh. A game for the memory. Final fantasy has returned. His characters are incredible. Eos is a huge and intriguing world. The gameplay is very good, the combat system is visually incredible.

    I really don't understand the bad critics on this game. I played with all FF games since the first one. I hated the 12 and the 13. But this one is a masterpiece. My top 5 would be:
    1- FF7
    2- FF15
    3- FF6
    4- FF9
    5- FF10

FF X was the end of the old traditional FF turn based combat while In XII and XIII SquareEnix experimented with new battle systems that the fans never fully embraced. With FF XV I believe SquareEnix has found its form of seamless exploration and combat that is both fluid and engaging. The beautiful open world and combat designed in XV will hopefully be an excellent foundation for the new FF era.

    The massive gameplay overhaul in FF XV however meant that the designers had to experiment with new systems and ways that sometimes make the players ask why didn't they come up with a better way. For example the much critiqued magic and summon system. In addition the time and budget constraint along with the need to design the game from the ground up meant that the developers had limited time to develop other aspects of the game which is apparent in the story and repetitive MMO-like sidequests.

    The core of any good JRPG is the story. Unfortunately FF XV stumbles at telling a clear, well paced story to the players. In the beginning they started off with Kingsglaive event that brought a sense of urgency. However after the introduction the writers seemed reluctant on disclosing any more information on the story such that the motives of main characters and the villains seemed thin, confusing and meaningless for the next tens of hours.

    Another design consideration that slightly annoys me is the host club/boyband-like character design for the four main guys. It just begs the question of WHY? when the rest of the cast (Luna, Izunia, Aranea,etc) have excellent and unique character design.

    Ultimately Final fantasy XV is a fun and refreshing game. For every bad decision made by the designers there were two good decisions. Hopefully with the concept already laid down SquareEnix can build and polish the next final fantasy franchise to the next level.    … Expand

    The time that the FF saga dictated the rhythm of the RPG is over, after playing other games with a lot of quality and dedication of the developers, it is clear the neglect with the game, dead scenarios, no life, no feeling, could be MUCH better.

    But WAIT!. If say he's driving there and suddenly it turns into night time, guess what. The idiot will stop the car and tell you it's better if you return back to camp/post to sleep the night because it's dangerous. So this means teleporting back to where you started from 8-10 minutes earlier.
    But wait, there's more, say you want to force through the night and try driving manually, if a monster shows up on the road the car will either A) automatically U turn or B) stop and kick everyone from the car forcing you to fight the insane damage daemon that will kill you.
    All in all you'll spend endless hours just driving to places.

    Having played final fantasy games all my life I had high expectations for the game. Ten years in the making and what they put out seems uninspired and poorly executed. The game works and that might be the best thing I can say about it, but let me break down the game.

    Let's start with the bad: MMO style questing. I'm not sure why this is even in an Final Fantasy, but it has no place    Having played final fantasy games all my life I had high expectations for the game. Ten years in the making and what they put out seems uninspired and poorly executed. The game works and that might be the best thing I can say about it, but let me break down the game.

    Let's start with the bad:

    MMO style questing. I'm not sure why this is even in an Final Fantasy, but it has no place in a single player RPG. It stretches the game out artificially.

    Combat: The combat is easy, but lacks depth. Holding square for automatic dodging seems like a cop out in terms of making the combat fun. The enemies run around in combat and sometimes you have to chase them trying to get the killing blow. Its not innovative or fun after awhile, it becomes more of a task.

    The open world design: I understand open world designs are popular with certain games, but I do not think Final Fantasy benefited from it. There is so much open world that there seems to be no purpose other than to hide things or make travelling take time. If the world were condensed it could look better and combat would probably be better due to added time to improve it during development.. They likely spent so much time to make this world and then littered it with monsters to slay. Random encounters in the old games could become annoying, but running around forever in a lifeless open world is definitely worse.

    Progression: The ascension chart doesn't give you the depth or flexibility other final fantasies like 10 did. In 10 you could really build a character up the way you want. Here in 15 its pretty limited.

    Characters: The game opens with Noctis being a child as his father sends him away. Having seen Kings Glaive and what happens to his father and the capital it made it more bothersome that the main character would be such a child under such serious conditions of war and an arranged marriage to restore peace. Add on that he is travelling with his 3 best friends who all look like teenagers who exclusively buy their clothes at hot topic and I'm not going to care too much about them. Everyone wants to write about how the story is about these 4, but that's trying to pick one positive out of the game and the story and it really should be about the kingdom and over coming evil. When the story is so bad that we try to make the relationships between the characters the reason to call it good its an even bigger failure. Also you don't really see much character growth from them.

    There are not great characters that I want to see more of or admire. Go and look at FF4 or FF6. For SNES sprites those characters had more depth than the ones in FF15. Even FF10 had much better characters.

    Side Games: Ever since FF6 and FF7 side games/activities have played a big part in Final Fantasy games. Here they seem like an after thought. The arcade games are terrible, time consuming, and not rewarding enough. Chocobo racing is okay, but not great.

    That's it for the bad or I will never get to the good.

    First good thing is that combat is easy. Anyone can beat this game.

    For those who feel RPGs are too confusing this game makes everything very easy. Magic is kind of pointless and Summons make it even easier. Plus you can hide mid combat by hanging at certain points to heal.

    The food looks really good and the boosts are nice. Actually the boosts are almost too nice that in some cases it seems like they lowered the players stats to put more focus on the cooking. Seems like they are still coping MMOs a bit still.

    The auto pilot on the car is nice.

    It runs relatively well, but I do seem the frame rate drop quite a bit.

    that's all I have for good.

    Honestly this is not the game fans expected or deserved. I feel like true final fantasy fans will have to live in the past because square isn't capable of making good games anymore. When I was growing up they were the top in the industry. Their games were massive and played really well. Square used to be on the cutting edge of graphics and here in FF15 the hair on the characters looks chunky.

    I know a lot of people wanted this game to be great, so did I. The fact is that it isn't a great game. I don't care what critics say or release day reviewers. The game is not a 10, 9, 8 or 7. I could accept someone giving it a 6, but anything above that is a lie.

    Now I know I'm no authority on this, but check videos on youtube and really look at the game. Don't just listen to the media campaign. We know companies pay for reviews and part of me wonders how many of these user reviews are actually people square paid to give the game a ten. I know that sounds a lot like a conspiracy theory, but square spent too much on this game not to take steps to guarantee its success. We have all seen the power of marketing.

    I recommend waiting for the game to drop in price. Its not as good as people are saying. There are far better games made in far less time. Please don't be fooled.    … Expand

    - memorable characters
    - awesome art direction
    - engaging story
    - epic adventures
    - complex combat
    - final fantasy

    FF15 is not a bad game, its just not a good game. In the gaming renaissance we are in, there are just so many more games worth your time. Now that I'm a little bit older, I don't have time to waste on bad games and am forced to prioritize what is truly a good game or not a good game. Sadly, this is just not.

    There are some positives, but with so many negatives to counteract each.
    -The monster design is very good; but the combat has you flying around at light speed so that you cant ever really even see what you are fighting.
    -The scale of the game can get crazy, but you never really interact with the massive scale in any interesting ways.
    - A massive effort was put into the graphics, but they shine in mundane places like how fish look or the food looks. While in the car or in combat, the constant motion creates a blur that muddies the graphics. Everything is moving to fast to really enjoy anything.
    - There is live action combat, but it gets old very fast, never developing past the tutorial. In terms of live action combat, there is no denying that it is unique, but it is also the most simple combat system I've ever played in any action or RPG game.
    - The chars go against everything FF; only one playable char, only 4 people total in your party and no fantasy chars or even women.
    - There is a massive realistic world map, but most of the time you are annoyingly footslogging along or battling the games map mechanics to fast travel around. Car driving is as intricate as holding R2 or even just letting someone else drive you around. There are parts where you can control the car freely, so the mechanics are there, but they just decided to force you on a track for most of the game where you can literally just let the game play itself and go do something else.
    - Every time you go to activate something it tells you to press X. If you press X when prompted, most of the time you just jump for no reason. You have to learn to wait slowly so you don't confuse the game.
    - The story is a series of mundane quests to get to something interesting. Drive to the gas station. Walk around a town market. Pitch a tent. The side-quests are complete drivel; a mixture of fetch quests and kill quests less interesting than decade old MMOs. Feed a stray cat, go buy a tomato or a million quests to go click on a dot on the ground and then return.
    - The voice acting is not bad and very deep but the context is just not engaging. "Hey bro - you mad bro?". Its hour after hour of some emo kids having a bro-down. Also most of the time the lips dont match up so it's like watching a dubbed movie.
    - The character design is the worst in the series history. Not a single interesting protagonist or antagonist to be found. In order to make up for the lackluster char design, they threw in inappropriate cleavage and schoolgirl outfits as a consolation prize. enjoy.

    For those of us old enough, we remember FF7 and how it changed gaming forever, and a few later games that rode its legacy before the key devs had to retire and the games started being made by people who definitely never played the games that made the franchise what it is. Hoping that the next Final Fantasy will be great is like hoping to find good television when you turn on MTV. There was once an era for Final Fantasy, that era is long dead. There are more sad spin-offs and miserable failures to its name than successes, most of them trying to ride the fumes of nostalgia. This new game ties in some ideas from Grand Theft Auto in an attempt to reinvigorate the series for a new generation. Unfortunately the devs clearly don't understand what makes FF or GTA great.

    If they titled this game correctly "Final Fantasy: Cool Car Bro-down Extreme" then it would deserve a consolation 7/10 for a nice first attempt at a new genre despite a plethora of flaws. For the audacity of them making this a staple Final Fantasy game to stand with the likes of 7,8,10,&12 - it gets a 1/10.

    This game is selling well so it may not be the "final" fantasy, but it sure is for me. RIP    … Expand

    I would by no means hold this game up next to FFVI. FFVII, FFVIII, or FFVIX which are all 10's and the best of the series in my opinion. I would however say it's as good as FFX as far a story, world, and characters, and I give that game a solid 9-9.5, and as far as game play I'd rate it in the same spectrum as FFXII which I would rate with an 8-8.5.

    So like 10 the story is and world is amazing, I find myself getting lost in it for hours while enjoying every moment. On the other hand like 12 there are definitely issues with combat and side questing becomes redundant, but the rest of the game shines through the issues.

    All that said I feel this game deserves a solid 9, as a long time fan of the series I not disappointed at all.    … Expand

    I just can not understand why people are down voting this game. It's an awesome game, it's completely blowing my mind.
    I spent until now, 20 hours and I'm in the third chapter yet! It's like I loved this game so much that I'm afraid that it gets to the end before I expect so I keep playing slowly.

    Combat, graphics, history (this is a little confuse if you did not watch the movie before play), soundtrack, everything. Even the way you level up is perfect. In these 20 hours, I saw only one bug, Gladiolus turns invisible for a while and I just could see his sword but in fact, the game is so good that this bug made me laugh at the time.

    DUNGEONS. Yes, this final fantasy has amazing dungeons to explore. One of the best parts of exploration.
    The game also has side quests. Hunts, treasures, ingredients, weapon improvements, all kind of quest. I was not walking through the world doing nothing in these 20 hours in fact, I'm pretty busy right now!

    So, fan of final fantasy or not, if you like RPG, buy it. I have to play more to have a definitive opinion although a game that made happy for 20 hours, knowing that it's just the beginning, already convinced me that it's worth it.    … Expand

    Fun and good looking action adventure with rpg elements. Would give it a 9 but takes too much space on the ps4 as it only has 500gb as default and fps is a bit off, looks like 30fps but has some strange stutter that makes my head ache, waiting for PC version so I can finish the game without vomiting.

    If you do the sidequests and optional tasks, the game becomes something grand, yet it sins and a lot when the subject is major story.

    The plot is decapering and completing it does not require complexity, making it a very, very easy game.

    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.
