    Definitely one of the best experiences of the generation. I'm enjoying the story and I've had a lot of fun with the spectacular gameplay, and especially with the legendary Astral's the Summons God's of this game. The main villain is super charismatic and the soundtrack is just amazing. A really beautiful experience.

    Final Fantasy 15 è un action jrpg che riesce a creare un senso unico ed originale del viaggio di gruppo. Quella sensazione di scoperta, di mistero, di avventura che è bello ritrovare in un jrpg odierno, e che eleva la qualità complessiva del gioco. Un gioco che, in ogni caso, offre:

    - una grafica davvero elevata, per gli standard dei giochi openworld odierni
    - una storia coinvolgente, seppur narrata con strumenti multimediali, come un film ed un mini anime gratuito, Brotherhood
    - una OST ottima
    - un gameplay davvero divertente, in particolare modo per gli strumenti offerti al giocatore, un arsenale di più di 12 tipi di armi differenti, ognuna con i suoi perry e combo unici.
    - una Lore affascinante
    - personaggi carismatici (in particolare modo Ardyn)
    - dungeons ottimi da esplorare
    - Summons epiche
    - minigiochi, come la pesca o la corsa dei Chocobo
    - un epilogo ottimo, ed onestamente tra i migliori realizzati per la serie principale di Final Fantasy

    Insomma, un gioco che ha molto da offrire.
    E, onestamente, da grande fan di lunga data della serie, uno dei miei Final Fantasy preferiti in assoluto.
    Consigliato sia ai fan, e sia agli amanti dei giochi openworld rilassanti.    … Expand

    A fierce Final Fantasy game.
    Maybe not perfect in writing, but with top notch qualities, especially if you look at the wonderful openworld, the fast but great gameplay to play, and the simply divine soundtrack.
    It requires a bit of spirit from the player to follow the mood of the game. And that is that of a trip with your friends.
    Once you get the mood, you will love this game

    Et je pense que Final Fantasy XV est le jeu openworld le plus amusant et le plus original parmi ceux-ci.

    FFXV est un CHEF-D'ŒUVRE du genre des jeux en monde ouvert.
    Une expérience originale aux idées ludiques qui fait de ce grand jeu surprenant un véritable bijou.

    Passant du film épique Kingslaive à l'anime Brothrthood, en passant par le jeu principal et ses DLC, Final Fantasy XV est une œuvre vraiment unique et en même temps belle dans la façon dont elle a été réalisée.

    Le jeu propose :

    - un monde ouvert merveilleux, plein de monstres, de beaux donjons, de secrets, d'armes et de Lore, tout à découvrir.

    - des mini-jeux mignons et amusants, tels que la pêche, le flipper et les courses de Chocobo

    - des montures, telles que l'emblématique Chocobo et la Regalia avec toute la musique des précédents jeux FF

    - un système de combat JRPG entièrement actionné.
    Dynamique, rapide, fonctionnel et amusant.

    - une histoire simple, mais très belle.
    Avec l'une des meilleures fins que j'aie jamais vues.

    - l'un des meilleurs méchants de la série FF, Ardyn

    - une tradition épique

    - de l'Invocation exceptionnelle

    - une superbe OST

    - etc

    Pour toutes ces raisons je vous conseille fortement de donner une chance à ce jeu incroyable et immense, car ce n'est pas qu'un jeu mais une expérience de vie merveilleuse et originale.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy XV is the kind of game that is capable to capture you thanks with is atmosphere, and also thank to the roadtrip theme of the main game thet is done in a really outstanding way.

    A simple story, but of sure impact, and truly exceptional especially in its epilogue. and you're the kind of character-bound gamer, you'll love this story.

    Noctis, Ignis, Gladio and Prompto are charismatic characters and characterized in a deciasamente optimal way. A rare thing that can be found in today's Final Fantasy.
    But what captured me the most is the characterization of the Villain, Ardyn.

    Ardyn Izunia represents what is now the best villain made for a main game in the Final Fantasy series. Thanks to the characterization of him and above all thanks to his enormous charisma, which transports the player into the aura of mystery that will then be rediscovered in the final stages of the game's history.

    Add to this the exceptional graphics, the game's magnificent openworld, the game's fast-paced and fun gameplay, the spectacular OST, and the incredible Lore.

    The best thing in open world game can do is make you want to explore. With the camping and the cooking and the fishing it draws you in. Maybe I'm weird but I really enjoyed finding new fishing holes.

    This is the most enjoyable open world game that I've ever played.

    Riding the chocobos for all Eos it was a beautiful experience, filled with little but very cool moments.
    And adding to this the impressive graphics, the fun gameplay, and the epic lore, we have a great and cool game to play for even more than 100 hours.

    I can safely recommend this to any action jrpg lovers

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Upon completion of Final Fantasy XIII, I was left with a bad taste. I felt somewhat empty. I thought back on my time with the game, and it's characters. I reflected on the journey we'd taken and whilst I have to say there were some memorable moments, nothing stood out.

    Because of this, it would be over 10 years before I would play another Final Fantasy. As a die-hard fan of the series, I never thought this would happen, but after the series thirteenth instalment, I just didn't feel like playing yet another Final Fantasy. I purchased them all, from XIII-2 through to the remaster of Final Fantasy VIII, but never played them.

    With the release of Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition on Xbox Game Pass, I decided that it was time to give the franchise another go. I mean, with the remake of Final Fantasy VII out so soon, there's no better time right? That was a little under two weeks ago and have just now completed the story, and over 100 side quests, I can safely say that I'm back and eagerly await what both VII and XVI have to offer.

    Final Fantasy XV grips you from it's opening cinematic, which left me wanting to know exactly what was in-store for Crown Prince Noctis and his band of merry men, a group of characters who if seen out of context, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were boy-band rejects.

    This, however, didn't stop me getting distracted by some, okay A LOT, of the games side-quests. They can be repetitive, as there seem to be only a few different formats. It's either, go fight these beasties and return or go get this from here and come back. They are glorified fetch quests if I'm brutally honest, but that didn't stop me getting hopelessly addicted. Each play session usually ended with me handing in "one more quest".

    Getting back to the main quest however, Final Fantasy XV tells a tale of loss, of friendship, and love. It's truly entertaining and keeps you coming back for more. I wouldn't say the main story is very long, maybe 25 hours or so, but sprinkle in a generous handful of side-quests and you'll get your money's worth. Especially if that money was your monthly game pass subscription fee.

    Whilst a lot can be said for the game's content and story, the same can't be said for it's audio. The music in Final Fantasy XV isn't bad by any means, though if I had to describe it in a word, I would have to say it's simply forgettable. The voice-overs, however, are another thing entirely.

    I can speak only for the English voice cast but it is sublime, not a bad performance in the bunch. Standout performances from Ray Chase as Noctis, Robbie Daymond as Prompto and the always-on point Matt Mercer as Cor, the unofficial fifth member of the group. I feel like I could listen to them talk all day, except for Prompto's humming of classic and not-so-classic Final Fantasy themes. All in all, I can't remember the last time a voice cast just felt so right.

    Final Fantasy XV does a lot of things right, and a few things wrong, but there is one thing that is damn near perfect in Final Fantasy XV. Final Fantasy XV is stunning to look at, no matter what it's being played on. For a game that came out back in 2016, it looks just about as good as any game being released today.

    Playing it on a base PS4 or Xbox One S, you'd be hard-pressed thinking it could look any better, that is until you give it a go on a One X or PS4 Pro. I spent the first 10-15 hours of my time with Final Fantasy XV playing on an Xbox One X, in awe of the visuals before I realised it got even better. If you haven't experienced the game on PC, at the Ultra quality preset, on a 1440p High Refresh Rate Ultra-wide Monitor, then you haven't experienced it at all.

    The hairs on the character's heads, the details in the terrain, the scales or fur on the wildlife are all crystal clear. The animations are all buttery smooth at the 120FPS cap and the additional field of view only adds to the immersion. This is one case where seeing truly is believing, and if you can see it then I recommend it. Even if you have to visit a mate's place to do so, as you'll need a pretty beefy system to run the game on it's highest settings, I encourage you to make the trip.

    Final Fantasy XV was a journey filled with a lot of ups, but also a few downs. After spending what must be close to 80hrs with Noctis and his Comrades I can safely say that I am once again in love with the franchise. Whilst I think revisiting XIII with rejuvenated eyes is a bit much, I'm very much looking forward to the remake of Final Fantasy VII and trying those that I've skipped.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was splendidly surprised by this game. I must say it’s my first time playing a Final Fantasy game (I know that’s heretical to say) however I enjoyed my time with the game as the world was interesting to explore. I know there was an accompanying anime that came out with the game, however I did not watch it and was still able to follow the story without much trouble. The story does have some “Holy **** moments that were exciting to play. The Boss fights are definitely the highlight of the game as well as the characters that accompany you. However the endgame is the most problematic part of the game. The 3rd act is marred by tedious and bland dungeons that slow the momentum of the game down. However this game is not for everyone as the JRPG mechanics are sometimes difficult to learn. However I look back fondly at this game which took me roughly 25 hours to complete. I know this game went through development he’ll but I think Square Enix got more things right with this game than they did wrong.… Expand

    Final Fantasy XV is not the game Square Enix promised us. It’s not an open world game that everyone would enjoy, and even though it looks like they have done a great deal in making it more accessible to newcomers, it has more improving to do. If you are a die-hard Final Fantasy fan, you will have a great time thanks to a beautiful world, easy to learn and fun combat mechanics and a classic story about friendship and love.

    FFXV mostly delivers. While it takes some getting used to, its combat is infectious and fun. Its artwork is utterly breathtaking, and some of its set pieces are awe-inspiring. Its characters are fun and memorable, and the plot is engaging enough to keep pushing you forward. FFXV trips over its own character lore on occasion, with key details either missing or poorly explained, but it's not enough to hinder the experience as a whole.
