    Great Xbox One version. It is a shame that almost all media outlet reviewed it on PS4 and PS4 Pro. They almost ignores that Xbox has a good FFXV too. About the game, it is very awesome. Great story and everything.

    I think FFxv is a bit of a sleeper masterpeice and over thr years more and more people will come to see the genius behind its design.

    Very good performance on xbox one, better than ps4 even though ps4 has better & cleaner graphics, the xbox one performance outshines the fps issues found on ps4, great gameplay, if you like RPG this is a must have for xbox one owners

    Final Fantasy XV is a nice addition to the series and as a longterm fan I like the switch from turnbased to realtime combat, the visuals and gameplay are excellent but the story needed more work at the same time its still a great experience

    This is the first Final Fantasy game that I've finished and i loved it. I can't really rate it as a Final Fantasy game for said reason, but as a RPG it is fantastic. Playing it was an experience that I will never forget. Absolutely a masterpiece.

    The reviews you see here that are negative and say that every ad campaign didn't actually have XV's content in it-- well they must've been written by people who hadn't 100%'d the game and watched the rest of the XV Universe (Brotherhood, Kingsglaive, etc). Not to mention that there are tons of HUGE DLC's coming out that we have yet to see.

    I'll be brief. I've played Final Fantasy since I was a tyke. It's my favorite series of all time and it's made my heart swell and then shattered it when I get my hopes up. This all being said.. I've finally decided that XV has surpassed all of my other favorites. I can't shake the story. I can't shake the music (Uematsu taught her well). I can't shake how naturally lovable the characters are and how heartbreaking some of the sh*t they go through is. All of this is what makes it an FF game.. What's better? So many side quests you can't hardly focus on the main story (a pro, not a con) and that don't feel at all repetitive, a huge open world with so many things to do, challenging hunts, incredibly gorgeous dungeons that leave you feeling accomplished, and an ending that'll have you tearing up.

    It's this thing called "Art". A lot of people don't understand it anymore because of the things that are placed in front of us these days that are labelled as 'the best' - fast-paced shooters, lots of explosions, spoon-fed stories that require little thinking.. This is not one of those. XV is art. If you appreciate that word, you'll love the hell out of this title.    … Expand

    First of all, don't believe the negative 0 score reviews, some people (and communities) are doing that because they can't accept anything that isn't turn based, blind nostalgia.

    I'm really enjoying this game, I think most people will struggle with the combat system at first, but after some time you get used to it and it's so fluid, I love it! Noctis and his friends are very likeable, specially if you have watched the anime.

    Also little details in the game make the experience so much better. For example Prompto is always taking random pictures with his camera, at first I thought this was "meh..." but then I realised that as a MMO player I love taking screenshots. Saving the best photos and looking the album at the end of the game will be very cool IMO.

    The OST is amazing like in every Final Fantasy, combined with great environment design makes a very immersive experience.

    Square did a great job and I think everyone should try it before screaming that "It's not FF because it's not turn based".

    Most people complaining are either ressentful because it's not turn based (which is a ridiculous reason) or because it lacks a playable woman character (which is a fair enough reason, but they are bashing other aspects of the game based on it, not fair).    … Expand

    Story: 100/10. My rating seems silly, however the story of this game will shred you to tears. The scenes are masterfully developed, and everything is portrayed with precision. There are many twists and surprises, and some will leave you speechless. The story is so good, I believe it could be a movie or play. It certainly beats Hollywood.
    The bond between these friends was so natural and relate-able that I felt connected to them.

    Game-play: 7.5/10. There are some issues here. For example, traveling across the map takes time. It could be devious, however it is evident that they did this on purpose. It allows the player to feel just how human these characters are. And when they do have amazing feats, it is born from their extraordinary willpower.
    Another issue is that the player can not jump over objects smaller than the jump.... I wanted to jump off cliffs with chocobos and it's a no go.
    The fighting is better than any batman or assassin's creed game.
    The fighting chemistry between players is incredible and unseen.

    Execution: 7/10
    The story missions from chapter 12-15 are short. You will finish the game without intending to. Do these missions extra slowly until they patch them up.
    There should have been an option to be able to go back to every story mission. This way, if you didn't save at the exact mission, you can never go back.

    I gave this game a 10/10 because they tried something nobody had ever tried before. This game is fresh and new, and will be copied by many other upcoming games.
    The story was so rich it leaves Hollywood blockbusters to shame.
    The characters are masterfully developed and relate-able.

    Good game in my opinion but it could have been great. The fact that magic is more like items that you craft instead of giving us MP based spells just seems lazy and the way you can only use summons when the prompt is given randomly seems even lazier to me.

    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.

    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

    - 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.

    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.
