Story was good.
World doesn't feel "alive".
Struggled a lot with the camera during battles.
Cool boss fights.

É satisfatório, mas muito enrolado. Não tankei a demora das missões secundárias e o fato de ter que ver várias coisas em outros conteúdos pra entender a história. Dropei.

FFXV é um jogo com diversos altos e baixos, tendo muitos defeitos e problemas, mas sendo muito competente em seus acertos.
De modo geral, o jogo demonstra necessitar de alguns polimentos, bugs visuais, câmera confusa e problemas na interação com os itens e personagens serão frequentes em sua jornada (diversas vezes você se pegará pulando ao tentar conversar com um NPC, abrir portas, subir no chocobo e etc). Além disso, o mundo aberto de FFXV é enorme (no mal sentido), parecendo vazio e de difícil locomoção na maioria do tempo, alguns poderiam argumentar que é devido a uma tentativa de realismo na proporção do mundo, mas pra mim, é o tipo de realismo que atrapalha a experiência, nem sempre é divertido ficar assistindo o carro se mover do ponto A ao B por 5 minutos.
A movimentação do jogo é a parte mais prejudicada na minha experiência, o carro que você tem acesso no inicio do jogo é bastante limitado na movimentação, sendo praticamente "automático" em 80% do tempo. Apesar de existirem outros modelos que te proporcione mais liberdade, não é possível utilizarmos ele em toda a história. Entretanto, a experiência melhora significativamente quando liberamos o acesso ao chocobo (cap 2) que nos possibilita transitar com maior liberdade e fluidez.
Mas, falando agora dos acertos, o jogo possui uma história extremamente interessante, com personagens cativantes e memoráveis. Diferentemente da maioria dos jogos de grupo que conhecemos, em FFXV os personagens já são amigos no início da história, mudando completamente a dinâmica da maioria dos jogos. Os personagens se gostam e se amam, dando maior peso as brigas e as decisões que você passa. A narrativa do jogo não é apenas vermos a história do protagonista, mas o sentimento de passar por tudo ao lado de amigos que se importam com ele,
Outro ponto que o jogo acerta em cheio, é na trilha sonora, que é muito bonita e marcante, tocando em seus sentimentos nos momentos corretos, fazendo você se sentir alegre quando necessita e lhe tirando lágrimas em momentos de tristeza.
O combate do jogo foi um sentimento misto para mim, inicialmente confuso e complicado, mas após compreender e entender as diferentes mecânicas o jogo se tornou muito mais divertido, inclusive, o sistema "estratégico" me pareceu muito melhor do que o dinâmico, que te limita em diversas ações.
Por fim, destaco que é um ótimo jogo, que corrigindo seus diversos problemas se colocaria como um dos melhores jogos da história, pois quando acerta, acerta em cheio, mas os numerosos e constantes problemas limitam esse jogo é um simples "bom".

A shorter and less serious review than usual, but I feel like this game's major sticking point to me is its potential. Even though I've long since gotten over the promise Versus XIII had, I still wonder what it would have entailed - and then there's the lost potential of what we did get, in Luna and Niflheim and Ravus and Regis, the relationships and characters and storylines that could have been so much more than they were.

But we got Ignis. And him and his relationship with Noctis, as well as his DLC, are carrying four of these six points on their backs for me. Love you team mom.

It actually didn't dislike this game and could realistically see myself coming back to it, but I wasn’t hooked and dropped off. Probably would rather play one of the VII remakes though.

First FF game I'd played and beaten, thoroughly enjoyed, as far as I can tell every title does something different and tries to be it's own game while staying true to their nature. Started to feel like more and more of a badass towards to the end of the game, which I guess is the point, and the game does it very well. Also looks incredible good still today. Lots of cool stuff to explore, great game!

Underrated FF. Combat is pretty odd, and the DLC episodes are a must.

Final Fantasy 15 is an okay game. The world is pretty, but empty. The combat has a lot of weapon variety, but is so simple that it can literally be played by holding one button. The story is really good, but that story is told in the worst way possible with skipped events, missing backstories, and unexplained plotlines. The best part of the game is the 4 main boys, who all talk and act like real friends. They’re each so lovable and you want to see them together. The other characters are mostly heavily underutilized, and theres only 1 real villain in the game, so the game can sometimes feel conflictless other than vague military threat. I also loved the city designs. They all look so pretty! I thought the story was told well for a while, before it starts to dip about 60% of the way in, and then just gives up on explaining anything at the start of the final act. FF15 has some good ideas, pretty graphics, and a good story, but almost every good aspect of the game felt undercooked to me.

Imo one of the better final fantasy games. The combat was a lot of fun, the leveling felt very smooth and not so grindy.

i could stand anything in this game except this battle system

crutial plot points are happening off-screen in the background while the game itself is literally boring monster hunter clone with a huuuuuuge and boring open world

yeah i know about this kingdom hearts style narrative with different pieces of story across different media coming together and it's terrible

also the weakest music in the series

thanks for wasting my time, Tetsuya Nomura

characters were good though and they deserved a better game

I've come to realize that Final Fantasy is one of those series that sentiments about an individual entry tend to wildly change over time.

I've also come to find that this sentiment is not true for FFXV. After playing at release in 2016, dropping and picking it up 7 years later, my sentiments haven't changed.

Still 7 years later the game hasn't matured for me. As well the game's story... The story is all over the place. It's anywhere BUT the game. It's in the movie and anime, which by the way have limited availability and are doomed to be soon lost media. It hasn't and won't age gracefully. It will cease to exist, just like itself, only to reappear as DLC.

The Americana roadtrip, Stand By Me friends dressed in Shibuya hot topic street fashion is what this game does best. It is literally the epitome of the "friends we made along the way".

However, I cannot stand to sit through a misguided Journey told by glimpses of story and fetch quests. This world had so much potential and yet the side quests detract IMMENSELY from the experience.

I've tried 2 times, one in 2016 and another in 2023 and yet, I did not enjoy myself as so much I was coping with the squandered potential I saw from the game.

Combat is weak as it is only holding attack and a direction on the analog stick for the majority of it. Store is a mess. Party interations are great but become repetitive over 50+ hours. Side quests are mind-numbing and hyper simple (go to x location, pick up glowing bit on grond, fast travel back to quest giver), yet you just keep wanting to do them.

Very decisive Final Fantasy game, but I found myself enjoying basically every part of my playthrough. Fun combat system that doesn’t feel tiresome or like a grind, the only issue I had was occasional camera issues. I enjoyed the main cast, even if they all look like angsty punk rockers, I thought they melded well as a group overall with some interesting and fun dialogue. Some dialogue maybe could have had more variety, especially when driving while not doing the main quest. The story was the main thing I can agree with on some major complaints, I think it has a great foundation and good ideas but the way it was told was disjointed and felt awkward at times. Can only be fully understood if you consume a handful of additional media which shouldn’t be a prerequisite for a video game. Near the early mid-game, characters are introduced that you’re supposed to care about but have maybe 3 lines of dialogue and seem to have had no real impact on the story, but near the end I think it’s better. Was frustrated one time with something I didn’t think made a lot of sense, near the mid-game a character wants you to drive them to the next destination in the story and the game prompts you with a warning that “you won’t be able to return for a long time” while you’re doing the quest. So you accept and you drive them and have to stop to fight some enemies, which doesn’t really take very long and once you’re done you’re free to go back to do whatever you like. The problem I had was: later in the game it gives you the same prompt when you have to meet with a certain character, so me thinking it would just be a cutscene or a discussion segment and then I could immediately go back to finish any hunts or side quests in the main area, I accepted. To my surprise, I was then locked into the late game. While it does later give you an option to return to the main area, it feels very wrong to do so given the sequence of events that transpire in the story at that point. Despite that, it wasn’t bad enough where I didn’t want to return after I finished the story, I went back to finish the quests and hunts I wanted to and also completed some DLCs and very much enjoyed it. I recommend this game to any JRPG fans and traditional Final Fantasy fans with an open mind.

Great gameplay, and fantastic mechanics, however, fairly obtuse story due to poor execution of providing context and clear story beats; however, I feel that the story is a good one once understood fully after further reading. Would probably have been better received if the story was clearer and less disjointed.

If you enjoy 'the chosen one' trope done well and the 'medieval kingdoms at war' setting, mixed with future magical weaponry and daemons, this is a truly fantastic game. Completely changed my opinion of the game after understanding the story. A solid 8/10.

It was alright. Followed it back in the day with all the supplemental material, but with time I think this is on par with FF 13. It felt like the game needed to come out so it can be get improvements for future versions. Didn't play the episodes when they came out, so I'll give the Royal Edition a chance sometime. I wanted to love this game cause I love Noctis, Ignis, Gladious, and Prompto. It's that one of the only good moments I can think of is the Brotherhood Anime where they're eating at the Diner and how they act like a family. Including Ignis and Gladious acting like an married couple while Noctis takes out all the veggies out of the burger. I hate how this game had a lot of potential given the development hell, but all I can think is "Why should I be playing this when I go play Kingdom Hearts"

Primeiro Final Fantasy qual zerei, e zerei duas vezes.
A primeira vez que zerei, foi uma sensação incrível, que jogo maravilhoso.
Tudo nele me encanta, nunca esqueço eu em level mais baixo encontrando a cobra do lago, em uma batalha que duraram longos 28 minutos, na época eu transmitia minhas gameplays na Twitch, e depois as subia para o YouTube, e até hoje eu gosto de ver aquela dura batalha, maior sensação de conquista.
Apesar de nunca ter zerado nenhum FF, eu sempre fui fã, joguei uma boa parte do 8 e foi amor, nunca o finalizei.
Enfim, comecei o 15 e devorei no PS4 no ano de 2018
E agora em 2023 eu o joguei novamente no PS5, sabendo as melhores formas de jogar, e os atalhos para ganhar mais XP, foi ótimo jogar, e também mais fácil, porém sem tirar todo brilho do jogo.
A trilha sonora é incrível, chorei nas batalhas contra o Titan, e Leviathan cheguei chorar durante a gameplay, assim como chorei com determinado momento do Ignis.
ENFIM que jornada, e ainda sei que jogarei de novo, e de novo....

Gameplay 3/3 combat is really fun and has a large variety of enemies to fight. Many side pieces of content are really enjoyable as well. Chocobos are fantastic in this game.
Story 3/3 really great
Visuals 2/2 the world is really fun and interesting to explore the creature variety is great and with good designs. The main story takes you to many great settings and has great cutscenes.
Audio 2/2 incredible music and great voice acting

Need to replay and do royal edition to determine thoughts on how much is worthwhile content etc

Final Fantasy XV is a game that is very confused about what it wants to deliver. It has so many new ideas, systems, and story beats to present you. And while some of them land, it's sheer multitude can be overwhelming and bring someone to irritation at the more questionable design choices towards the end. This game can be fun, especially towards the beginning where it more closely sticks to it's theme of being on a road trip with your buddies. Anytime the game's not sticking to those moments, it's floundering around and throwing things at you which make zero sense. After about the halfway point, the game seriously begins to fall apart in tone and in balance.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Final Fantasy. Everything from the story, the characters, graphics, and music. The end was a bit rough but the amazing cutscenes made it worth it.

Really really disappointed, I love FF games but this one was just BAD. The gameplay isn't fun or challenging ; The quests/hunts bring nothing not even good objets ; The story is bad, didn't get attached to characters you're supposed to care about (like Luna's or Noct's death) ; The map is also boring, open world bring nothing but long trip in car (which was also boring) or chocobos. If I hadn't an OCD about completing games I would have stopped this game after 3-4hours in.

The only part I liked about this game was the possibility to unlock the previous FF games' musics.

My first Final Fantasy and for that I am biased towards it. I love this game to pieces. Is the story unfinished and lacks direction? Yes. Does the combat lack depth and is fairly easy? Yes. Despite these things I love this game. Noctis, Gladio, Prompto and Ignis are the best part of the game and the ending is one of the most emotional I've seen in a game. The campfire scene, if you know you know. I can see what people dislike about this game but I don't care, its great to me.

80%PlayStation 4

Does this FF has some flaws, yes, for sure. I still like it overall, some of the new ideas worked and some didn't. The story wasn't as jumbled as everyone said it was, minus a few things in the beginning. I loved the ending chapters and I think this has one of the best FF villains to date. The ending few boss battles are fantastic, things become dire, and I love when FF games get into darker themes. This is a great story and a good game, not fantastic, but good. Glad I spent the time with it.
