    This is a bad game. It compresses the story into a disjointed mess. The art style is horrific, especially the character model hands which are the stuff of nightmares. Going through emotional scenes with these stone dead faced characters just takes so much out of the game.

The art style is horrific, especially the character model hands which are the stuff of nightmares. Going through emotional scenes with these stone dead faced characters just takes so much out of the game. And on the gameplay side, the entire game is effectively scripted top to bottom, including every "random" encounter. There's really no point to ever play this. I picked it up because I only have a switch and wanted to see the story, but I should of just watched a youtube video of the major cut scenes because that would of been infinitely better. Also, the game is stupidly easy, its impossible to die unless you try to. There were also few times the game got stuck (it didn't freeze but it wouldn't load the next scene) and I would have to quit out and restart the game. We should all just pretend this game doesn't exist.… Expand

    For those that have already wandered the world of Eos, there is little reason to relive the crown prince’s journey in Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD. It is, however, the perfect choice for those that haven’t and, fearing the need to grind out levels, would prefer to play this condensed option. It’s not without its shortcomings, and, despite the commendable depth, battles soon descend into repetition. But, all in all, it can still charm and entertain.

    Is Pocket Edition HD worth it? Yes, it is since it tells the exact same story with greater efficiency. It is missing a lot of the finer qualities, like the fishing and the attention to detail, in exchange for a more focused story experience that lasts about 10 hours. The lack of scope, however, really does underline how weak Noctis' quest really is when all the car riding and fetch quests are cut. The meat of the story involves running a few errands and a few climaxes later on, with only a smidgen of character development.

    All these things have been admirably translated, in a way far less intimidating to newcomers and logistically fascinating to veterans.
