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.

Before this review commences proper we would like to inform you that we'll be focusing on how the Windows Edition differs from the normal/Royal edition we all know and love, and how well the port itself has been done from a technical standpoint.

Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition isn't the perfect PC port by any means. It has its quirks, but the advantages over the console editions wipes those out in my mind. Not only does it have all the content available on console to this point at a reasonable price, but it also has mod tools coming and...

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

Final Fantasy XV is a rare and fascinating phenomena in gaming. A game with a multitude of problems that could (and should) easily degrade the whole package into a disappointing mess.

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.
