Final Fantasy XV Standard Edition - Xbox One

To be honest, this was the first Final Fantasy game I have ever played, so I do not know how it compares to other games in the franchise. But as a stand-alone game, it is amazing. The graphics are unbelievable. The storyline is fun, the controls are great, and the open world is gigantic. I always thought Final Fantasy was a turn-based fighting game, but this game is a free-fighting style, which is extremely fun.

I really enjoyed playing this game every night I came home after work! I wish I could go back in time to feel how I did when I first played it ❤️

Have always been an avid follower of the FF series. This game is definitely a different approach to the series. Love the open world and active combat system. Graphics are excellent as well as the soundtrack. The story can be convoluted, but hoping that it will be cleared up as DLC is released. Definitely watch the movie that was released prior to the game to fully understand what is happening. Looking forward to the multiplayer capabilities in the future.

if you just got an xbox one s and a new 4k tv, this is the game to show off your new home entertainment system. Final fantasy games have always had the best graphics and FFXV is no exception. The sky, the landscapes, the buildings, even the main characters hair look photo realistic. Ive had older folks ask me what movie I'm watching because their eyes cannot discern that I'm playing a video game. In terms of game play, this is easy to pick up and get used to. it's no longer strictly turn based like the older final Fantasy games. still has RPG elements to it like leveling up, assigning skills, switching characters during battles to attack a monster's weak spot with the correct weapon/magical spell. its also an open world game where you can drive around (or fast travel) revisit old characters and quests, etc. it's quite a lengthy game in which you can easily spend over 100 hours on. notice for parents: while the game is rated T, it is easily leaning into the Mature rating due to overly sexualized female characters, especially right in the beginning of the game. and I'm not talking about just tight clothing, but extremely revealing that one would expect to find in grand theft auto games. there is limited cursing as well. i was hoping to play this game with my younger sister but opted to trade it back in because of the overly sexualized non playable characters. if that doesn't bother you and you're into rpg games and recently upgraded to an xbox one s + a 4k hdr TV, then this game is worth having in your library.

Having not touched a FF game since FF-X (Since all the ones after that got destroyed in reviews, didn't waste my time/money...figured I'd leave the series on a high note), I was super apprehensive about jumping into this one, even though the preview content looked promising. Take into account the negative reviews from people such as "It looks like PS2 graphics" or "this absolutely awful"; didn't help make it easier. I bit the bullet, pre-ordered, got it on release day, and sat down to play it. DOWNLOAD/INSTALL The download/install took a while (51GB; 41GB on Disc, 10GB over network) but not as bad as something like GTA-V. Once downloaded it still had to install. It let me start the game at ~50% installed, and never had a problem after that. COMBAT Once installed, I started my adventure. The combat was a LITTLE hard to get used to for the first 5-10 minutes (I Highly recommend doing the 5-10 minute tutorial in the beginning, makes the start of the game go much smoother) as the controls aren't super "common" for combat games, but before I knew it, I wasn't even thinking about it anymore, and was pulling off nasty full-team combos on mobs and rares/bosses. STORY The story seems a little "off" to start with, but after about 1-2 hours it gets back on the rails and I found myself fully invested, and making conspiracies of my own on who's doing what and where and why...etc. I am excited to see where the story takes me next! GRAPHICS Ok, I'll start by saying, I'm playing on an XBOX One-S, on a 70" 4K TV. This game is beyond gorgeous. The cutscenes alone had me like "Holy, this is where we are with technology now?" Every little detail in the world is built with TLC, and it shows (Even the burn pattern on a piece of toast...seriously). I'm blown away. Whoever said this looks like PS2 graphics needs to go see an Optometrist and get their eyes checked and stop playing on a 90's Tube TV. OVERALL 5/5 I'm about 9 hours in, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. If you're feeling on the fence about this, I hope my review has helped shine some light for you on this wonderful game and put to bed any doubts you may have. If it wasn't for me being at work today, I 100% would be hunkered down at home playing till I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

I don't like turn based combat so when I heard about an open world with real time combat, I decided to try out final fantasy. It's great! Good story, great graphics. Very fun!

As a long time Final Fantasy fan, it's hard to not enjoy this game. The main story is actually pretty short, I'd say a bulk of the game is actually the side quests but they're still fun. Combat can be a bit clunky but is still enjoyable overall. There are also plenty of fun nostalgia moment for those who have played previous games. I highly recommend this game but know there are a few small quirks to it.

I enjoyed this game. It's definitely a little different than traditional FF games but it was fun. Despite not really loving the characters, the story was still good and the gameplay was fun. Right from the beginning it's an open world sandbox game with a ton of side missions. The negatives about it are the all male party. They are all dressed like Japanese emo pop stars and the dialogue is pretty lame. The care driving is also terrible. But overall a pretty good game.
