The open-world design of the first half of the game, with its myriad quests and details, shines brilliantly and hearkens back Final Fantasy's golden days. However, the linear second half lacks the optional content that makes the first part genuinely fun to play through.

A large open-world environment that's filled with iconic monsters to hunt and quests to undertake; Excellent soundtrack, visuals, and attention to detail; Simple, but enjoyable, combat system

Sloppy, poorly paced story; Horrible camera work; Linear second half and bizarre gameplay changes make finishing the game a chore

Not much character development outside of the main party; underutilized villain; technical hiccups; repetitive side quests; and a boring first act

When I'm riding chocobos across the beach at dusk with my three friends and hunting iconic Final Fantasy monsters in a huge, picturesque open world, feels like nearly everything I could want from a modern Final Fantasy.

The story of Final Fantasy XV is basically just a road trip between four friends. A young prince named Noctis heads out with his three pals and guardians to meet with and marry his betrothed in a move that will unite long warring kingdoms, bringing peace and prosperity to the land.

Hey all. I'm pleased to bring you all the review for a game ten years in the making, something I was not going to do because I never actually received a review copy of the game. However because of how long this game has been in development and my thoughts on it, I'll give Square Enix a pass.

This game might have minor flaws (such as an occasionally unpolished UI and bad camera angles), and at times the voice-actors didn't display the emotion needed for certain scenes. In the end, new and old fans of the franchise will enjoy it anyway.

The long wait has definitely paid off. Final Fantasy XV is right up there along the JRPG greats and earns it's own place as one of the few games that have spent years in development hell and turned out to be amazing. Most that have haven't had that luck…

Throughout Final Fantasy XV , seams are sometimes exposed that reveal the game that was promised to us by Square Enix in seven years' worth of trailers: a chaotic, overambitious mess of fantasy tropes, draped in modern fashion sensibilities, closer in form and function to its non-MMO predecessors in...

While it occasionally buckles under its own ambition and the game falters somewhat as the plot ramps up, overall 'Final Fantasy XV' is a beautiful, exciting game that I dearly loved.
