Final Fantasy XV is a unique offering, both for the franchise and RPGs in general. Placing the onus on the relationships of your party, rather than the narrative, has meant that this is a game that strikes not just an emotional chord, but a personal one.

Final Fantasy XV is well worth checking out. You can easily get lost in the open world and side-quest portion of the game, which you'll gain access to pretty early. There's a lot of stuff to fight, the combat system is fun, and the game looks pretty amazing for the most part.

I was really sceptical that Final Fantasy XV could ever be successful; but despite some real flaws, it ultimately won me over.

I'm a huge fan of the series, but Final Fantasy XV disappointed me... but I'm still looking forward to the next adventure. Hopefully, Square Enix goes back to their roots and allows gamers to be immersed in their fantasies yet again.

Ten long years have culminated in a game that's a bit rough around the edges, but enjoyable. Kudos to Hajime Tabata for getting this thing done. For me it was enjoyable throughout, and I'll be seeing this one through until I have the platinum trophy, but I think that feat is reserved for only the most dedicated franchise fans.
