    Game has several issues but also does a lot right. Visuals are good. Soundtrack is top notch. I personally found the gameplay loop to be addicting, Story is solid by itself without all the extra junk. Characters are the best part. Noctis and his bros have such great chemistry.

That said, I consider 15 to be Ana amazing game and honestly one of the best entries in the series.… Expand

    One of the best RPG of the year, and that I've played in my life. A gorgeous and functional RPG that makes you wanna play more and more. The history is simply beautiful, the characters development is so good that you can feel they evolving during the game.

Talking about teamwork, the protagonists of the game are the best guild I've ever have the chance to play with. Talking all along the journey, thinking in strategies, showing their emotions as long as they help noctis growing up in his own journey of king. I listen to the soundtrack even today, and it's breathtaking. The graphics aren't the best, but good for the time that was launched. The map is huge and have so many side quests to do. An awesome game.… Expand

    An absolute gem compared to the burning pile of mindless trash that is 16. Manages to retain some qualities of slower turn-based ff and yet also delivers on exploration. The characters and setting are fresh, the world vibrant. F ff16.

    The characters are beautifully characterized, and the gameplay is simple but very fun and intuitive.
    Honorable mention to the excellent soundtrack, and to the excellent main villain, Ardyn Izunia.

    It's a good game, but not on par with previous games in the franchise. They should have finished the game before releasing it. Hopefully the royal edition fixes that

    Final Fantasy XV is, essentially, the most beautiful and cool Final Fantasy game that you can play today.

    It has a fun battle system, a nice plot, a great Lore, a wonderful graphics and a majestic soundtrack.

    Definitely a truly remarkable and enjoyable game.

    Final Fantasy 15 it has a phenomenal gameplay completely action full of spectacular combo, chains attack, parry, the powerful magics, the epic Summons, the Arminger Unleashed, and much more; and a cast of truly characteristics and very well written characters, Noctis, Ignis, Gladio and Prompto, in pretty much every aspect.
    Even with their respective jobs and hobby.
    The whole execution of the interaction between the chocobros are truly remarkable and special, something that hardly you can see into a videogame today.
    And that makes this game even more unique.

    The whole story it is also truly interesting and pretty cool, even if to the player is asked to have the patience to follow different kinds of media between an anime (Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV) and a movie prequel (Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV), and to play the other DLCs released, the whole operation it is pretty much fully rewarded, with intriguing evolution and absolutely stunning events, that makes this whole big operation definitely worth to be followed.

    Everyone reccomended me not to play this game, but I still wanted to give it a chance.
    This game was really hard to beat for me, not because of its difficulty, but because it was really boring and not interesting at all. There are a lot of issues in this game.

    I'll start by the pros:
    - The graphic is really amazing
    - It has one of the best ost I have ever heard in videogames - The villain is really one of the best in FF's history
    And that's it.

    The cons:
    - The open world is lifeless, boring to explore and not rewarding. - The story might be good, but it is told in the worst way possible, its really hard to understand it without watching any video online. Many things happen and you dont know why. The ending was really amazing, and that makes you angry, because only in the end there are good scenes, and there are some emotional scenes that you just cant feel them, because the game did nothing to make you like the characters.
    - Combat is just boring. You can finish it by using 2 buttons and if you are dying you can easily revive your team.
    - The subquests are really bad, boring and basically useless to complete. There are too much of them and most of them are not that rewarding, plus they add like nothing to the story.
    - The second part of the game was different from the rest of the game. From an open world it becomes a very linear game. - Regalia. Thats the car you can explore the world with. It basically drives alone, you dont have to do anything special if not moving it. Many times it takes ten minutes to go from a place to another and more than once i didnt pay attention to the game and just waited those minutes to arrive at destination...

    Final fantasy XV is a game that really suffered its bad development, it could have been one of the greatest game of all time, but there are many missed things that just cant be unseen. I really wanted to enjoy it, but it felt like the game did nothing to be interesting in any way.    … 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.
