I'm loving it and can tell they have put a lot of time and effort in making it. Well worth the purchase for me as I've been enjoying every bit of the many hours I've been playing. It runs great, keeps my interest, and loaded with detail. The thing that I really appreciate is that it's really REALLY rare having a game like this. Something that isn't over the top with blood and gore. Not sure if anyone would understand what I mean by that. It's not under violent or pushing any boundary. I'm more than happy if a younger person were to play this, as per say a COD game in my family.

I sure had lots of time just traveling, but it was mostly sidequests and dungeons. I enjoyed fishing too, wish it had more trophies related to those stuff. I liked the characters more, I thought I was going to hate Prompto like I did with Vanille, but I was cool with him. 

I think development was a trainwreck and it showed in the final game, but I think the developers managed to show a great product in the end and save it. That's why I think XVI will come out good. 

Yeah, I'm completing the post game dungeons before I try it since I don't want to be hours fighting him haha. Saw some videos and it looks like it will take a lot of time 

awesome game :)

Well deserved score. I think it being lower than XIII is a shame, but the fact XIII is in the 80s is shocking.

95. http://www.gamegrin.com/reviews/final-fantasy-xv-review/ There seems to be alot of 90s and also alot of 60s. Id give it a solid 8. This game is an unfinished masterpiece which couldve been the best ff with more care put into the story and story missions.

60 hours in, just finished chapter 6. Still don't know what I think of this game. I can see why the reviews have been "Mixed but overall positive".

On one hand, the game truly is a lot of fun to play. the combat is unique and refreshing, the open world is a blast to explore, there's a tonne of open world elements that keep you playing and hunting and doing missions and coming back, and the road trip feeling is great.

I love the world, I love the characters, and I love the map.

But...I can't help but be incredibly disappointed at the same time. Like, yeah, gameplay wise it's solid as hell and a stark contrast to the on-rails linearity of XIII, but it still feels very small scale. I mean, it's NOT small scale, as shown by the titan fight, for example, but it still feels small.

The world may be huge because it'd take you a very, very long time to travel from one end to another, but to me it feels like it's only a small portion of a world (because it is.) To put it in perspective, this would be like if Final Fantasy had you start by leaving Midgar post escape, going to Junon, then making it to the golden saucer and the northern crater, and the entire rest of the world was cut out.

Where's the variation in settings/environments? Where's the world-ending conflict?

as a GAME, it's wonderful. It very much so focuses on the interaction between the four protagonists. But as a FINAL FANTASY, it feels lacking.

I will wait until I've beaten it (and maybe got platinum trophy on it) before passing judgement on it, but right now I feel the mixed reception. I love it, but I can't help but be disappointed. Very conflicted within.

I'm about to finish the game and I still have no idea what's going on. I have no attachment to these characters, and I feel as though I haven't done much, despite being over 40 hours in, according to the in game clock.

You start the game, your dad send you away, the country gets invaded, some guy on the enemy's side seems to be friendly and helps you in a particular scenario, you run around getting summons and swords, that guy ends up being your enemy all along, and now it's time for the final battle. All while only venturing into 4 or 5 different venues and none of the above mentioned parts of the game seem connected in any way, shape, or form to make a compelling or even coherent story.

I heard that you need to watch Kingsglaive for a lot of things to make sense, so I guess I'll do that. But as its own entity, FFXV the game, as a story, makes absolutely 0 sense.

Yeah, I think I'm getting Bloodborne first.

Yeah this is basically my fear, don't want to invest 40 hours in a game to get this. I'm sure it has some good aspects, but if I'm playing a Final Fantasy game, the story better be very impressive, because I'll be honest, I don't play Final Fantasy games for the game play as the primary thing.
