    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.

    One of the most amazing game played on my Xbox.
    If you enjoy exploring vast open world games, and you like action jrpg games, this Final Fantasy 15 menage to be the currently best action interaction of the franchise.

    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

    Buena banda sonora, pero la historia esta pesimamente contada, el juego asume que viste la película, el anime, que leíste la novela y viste los mensaje de nomura, el juego por si solo no te explica nada de la historia del juego

    I loved this game too much, it was one of my favorites until the moment Square Enix decided to turn a blind eye to not optimizing the game for the Xbox series S, a pity, game has potential and so much. For this reason, zero score for you

    End of story seems pretty rushed. but overall has nice characters.
    Gameplay is repetitive and combat could be more engaging.
    Boss fights are also very weak.
    Open world is empty
    Graphics feel super dated

    Characters and soundtrack save this game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is meagre. It is just there. Gameplay and combat is great. Locations are unique. The side quest system is really boring. It is like, "Hey Noctis, come do this thing for me, thanks for doing the thing for me!". Also car travel is quite boring, unless you complete the game and you get the flying car. The open world is fun to explore but after progressing in the story enough it gets locked from you. Certain aspects of the story makes no sense whatsoever. Like I am a royal prince but the king just decides to sent just 3 bodyguards after me and the car you get can't even get past ten miles per/hour. The game can be really fun at times especially during the scripted story sections( I mean gameplay not the actual writing) and also the monsters and lore of them is well designed. The graphics are still a little bad, not to be salty but forza horizon 2 came 2 years before this and that game was beautiful… 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.

    Gamaplay: 8/10
    Lore: 10/10

    Bad game is bad.

    Graphics and the different environments are its only saving grace. It is 'open world' only in the most technical way. Exploration isn't worth it as there's a whole lot of nothing out there outside of the main quest. Animation is clunky. Gestures make no sense, stutter and shift. They don't reflect what the characters are saying or doing. Story: Lazy and trite.    Bad game is bad.

    Graphics and the different environments are its only saving grace. It is 'open world' only in the most technical way. Exploration isn't worth it as there's a whole lot of nothing out there outside of the main quest.

    Animation is clunky. Gestures make no sense, stutter and shift. They don't reflect what the characters are saying or doing.

    Story: Lazy and trite.

    A cheesy Christ trope (done to death) that pushes the idea that people are tools and the right thing to do is to give in and be a tool instead of a person. The characters are often derided for being people with wants, needs and emotions. Instead, they're expected to be slaves to duty. It always makes me sad to see the Christ trope. It was ridiculous enough the first time. It gets more ridiculous with every iteration. And there are so many more ways it could play out if they went with Japanese culture instead, that would have added more emotion and weight to the storyline. That would have added complexity to characters that are far too flat on their own. This is a very Westernized game and it suffers for it.

    Characters: Mediocre

    Noct is a blank slate on which everyone gets to write, but the second he picks up a pen, people scream at him to put it down. The conclusion for his character is acceptance that he doesn't get to write. Again, Christ trope.

    Prompto has an interesting backstory. But the inconsistency of his character means he doesn't really pull it off.

    Ignis is a mother figure. He's fine, but even less complex than the others, and that's saying something.

    Gladio is the definition of toxic masculinity.

    Female characterization is bad. Just bad. There's nothing else to say about it. It's worse than the male characterization and the male characterization is pretty bad. It's the standard 'women are either sexual objects or love interests' problem we often see in media. Why do we need more women in game design? Because the men in game design have only seen women in magazines and those women don't say much.

    Pacing: The worst.

    The story is all over the place while simultaneously feeling linear and pushy with that linearity. But the worst thing about it is the padding. It's rampant. Which makes the game boring.

    Gameplay: Simplistic, boring

    The combat is overly simplistic to the point where you're often not even playing a game. There's no strategy, and no challenge. Even the 'boss fights' have you pressing one single button.

    The dagger moveset and the teamwork are the only good things about it. Magic is pointless. With melee being the only useful form of combat, you would think they'd have a wide selection of melee weapons. But they don't. Upgrading the few weapons that can be upgraded often requires materials that appear too late in the game to make that weapon worth using.

    Tone: Maybe the worst thing about the entire game.

    This game has a huge tonal problem.

    From the story to the characters, the tone is inconsistent to the point that high emotion scenes fall flat. There is little tension where there should be tension, too much tension where there shouldn't be. The comraderie is there in minor bursts and then completely absent in places it should be present

    TL;DR: bad game, poor story, terrible execution. Occasionally lucks out and does something right. That's why it's a 4 star and not a 0.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
