    Everything else you can find on separate reviews. Is a summarized version of FFXV, focused only on the big story, delivers a fast enjoyable combat system and a cartoony artwork. The voice acting is there, the amazing soundtrack is also there.

    I would recommend to anyone that does not own a PS4 or XB1 and wants to play through the story on a console.

    I haven´t finished the game yet, will update the review, but take into consideration, that in the mobile version once the credits roll, there is really not much to do.    … Expand

    Presentation 10/10
    Gameplay 3/10

    Looks great and controls are good BUT this game lacks depth. It's final fantasy. It deserves better. I never played on iOS so was hoping playing on console would add depth or better gameplay than a mobile game. The truth is it does not. There are better games for the same price ie dead cells. I should have bought hyper light drifter instead.

    Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD has some long loading screens, minor to moderate frame rate drops, is slightly buggy, combat tends to be repetitive, a lot of content from the original game is gone, is quite inferior then the original game, and is potentially overpriced compared to the original game.

    However, even with all that, it is still a good game.

    Un port demasiado directo de una versión móvil y mal optimizado. le habría sentado muy bien algunos cambios al dar el salto a consolas.

    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.
