FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION

This is a game that you will love and hate a lot, but overall, I recommends it

final fantasy 15 is without a dout my favourite final fantasy, it was the first one i ever played and due to that it will always have some place in my heart, going back to it now im a lot older than i was when i first got my hands on the game helped me to understand the broken story.. you can really tell that they where struggling with how all over the place the story was, using dlc to piece it together-

main highlight from the game for me has got to be episode Iginis especially with the WHAT IF being more desirable than the base games ending LOL

Never been a final fantasy guy, more into persona especially since FF started the real time combat stuff. I thought this would be the game to finally get me into the franchise and I was wrong.

An unfinished game. Character designs are beautiful as always—same with the graphics. The gameplay’s solid (though it sucks sometimes because of the camera), and the story had potential but ended up wasted.

That said, character control animations are surprisingly detailed. There’s a lot of variety in movement—different walking and jumping animations that give characters a sense of weight and personality. The chocobos especially stood out. After experiencing how stiff they felt in Final Fantasy XVI, I can honestly say this game has the best chocobos overall—controls, animations, and cuteness included.

Interestingly, they had so much time to tell the story—a movie, an anime, and this huge game—yet there are still an enormous number of plot holes.

It’s just sad.

Final Fantasy XV has a certain charm to it no other game has. The cheesy boy band road trip fragmented-media vibe is wholly unique to it. It's compelling. In a lot of ways this game is a mess, but I still like it and recommend it because that idiosyncratic charm is so strong.

The open world is bland filler. The combat is nothing special. The voice acting is cheese incarnate and the writing doesn't do its best ideas justice. You will need to look up all the different media of Final Fantasy XV and when to play/watch them. None of that is ideal.

But the end result of all that effort is attachment. Playing Final Fantasy XV isn't just a matter of playing the game and liking it or not. It is something you decide to do properly. You push through or ignore the dumb stuff you have to and experience this journey in full, and I think that brings you closer to the good of this game, the compelling ideas behind it, instead of the literal fragmented, flawed experience that this 100GB file contains.

I like Final Fantasy XV a lot. I'm glad I played it, and you should play it too, if you haven't. Would I do it all again? No chance!

Fun gameplay, nice world, interesting story with a satisftying ending (although you will need to see a movie and other media to understand the games plot so thats kinda meh ), fun post game, overrall had fun, remember to mod your regalia and use the steam workshop mods , would recommend

FFXV... What a game... What an adventure...

Frustrating from start to finish unless you can read the game developer's minds.

Final Fantasy XV is pretty spectacular. Out of all the Final Fantasy games I've played so far, XV has my favorite combat system by far, adding in fun mechanics like parrying, warp striking and link chaining with your teammates. The fact that you can also play as any other of the boys with their own set of skills and play styles shakes up the combat even more when you're feeling that its a little too repetitive. I think what I love most about the game is the characters and their dialogue towards each other, which truly brings the world and immersive atmosphere of the game to life. This game would definitely be a 10/10 if it weren't for the obviously rushed second half of the story, where the pacing is incredibly jarring, and a lot of context behind the character motivations and plot becomes confusing and lackluster. I think Square obviously knew this and created the DLC episodes which I've only had the chance to play Gladios so far. I would say if you're a big time Final Fantasy fan, or just an action RPG player in general it would be a mistake to miss playing this fun ass game.

Still dissapointed that the game never get finished cause its one in a lifetime experience for me. It really makes you feel like having an adventure with your friends like its so fun but starting from the middle the game pacing is too fast and the luna noctis stuff is too undercooked and also the other stuffs too- but beside that its reaaally good!

My brotherhood of the traveling pants simulator is amazing.

Seriously though I remember when this game first came out and I played it. I loved it and had no idea people disliked it at the time as it wasn't "A true Final Fantasy." It was my first one so I had no frame of reference. Now after playing OG 7 8 and X In kind of get it now but with this Royal Edition I think it solves most if not all the problems. Making Insomnia a proper dungeon, adding super bosses beyond the tortoise, adding a boss rush right before the end where each member gets to shine. I could go on but I think this game is well worth it now.

Also, the bond between the main four characters has yet to be beaten even after I played some of the older games. Noctis, Gladio, Prompto, and Ignis. I loved you all.

Ok lets be clear, the game was fairly easy and the mechanics of fighting is, you spam warp strikes and then warp away, if you have hi potions and elixirs you basically can win any fight you can think of, its not bad, but as a final fantasy keen its weird making the game fairly easy like that, gameplay wise, driving the regalia was so limited, some places you can't fast travel to directly and it just makes you scream, the story itself isnt bad but it kinda feels like it wasn't long lasting as i expected, hear me out it took me alot to grind for beating sin in ffx and i thought that maybe this grinding thing would be in all final fantasies coming to launch, but with the side quests and resting points with x2 exp it made it so easy, to me my fav character is Gladdy, chocobos are annoying to ride as usual, and basically that's it, amazing game, wish the story could be more deep with it but in the end its square enix we just have to admire their work.

So, final thoughts : FFXV is a very rough diamond, cursed by its dev hell but saved by the care put into it afterward with all the post-launch DLC and updates to flesh out the story.

The open world is very meh and doesnt really add much besides busy work to the game but slows the pace to really help you enjoy time with the bros
Really enjoy the aesthetic of the world with the modern looks and tech
Sadly some side characters dont really add much but are still very enjoyable to have around
Battle system is kinda funky but still somewhat enjoyable once you get the flow of it

But everything pre-chapter 7/8 is kinda meh but everything post open world ramps the game up from a 5/10 to a solid 7.5-8/10 once it starts focusing the story a lot more with linear design and thematic battles, possibly a 8.5/10 if you REALLY get into the story with ALL the extended universe stuff.

Played this game through on Xbox, Loved it. now I get the chance to replay it again with a little memory of the game.

Im constantly reminded of past Final Fantasy games and that is really cool along with fun combat and a touching story.

finally beat the game this is my 5th playthrough and this is still my favorite game of all time.

loved every second of it :'D they made the world feel so alive and captured the feeling of just wandering with your best friends so beautifully. some parts of the story that weren't so relevant were completely underdeveloped (or not at all) but the main story was still so mesmerizing and i loved the combat system once i got used to it.



give me back my boys that title screen change was sick :'))))))))

One of the most flawed experiences I ever had. I bought it on release for the Xbox One back when it came out.. I was so excited with the trailers and it would be my first Final Fantasy game. Happily, as I was nothing but a kid, I had lots of fun with it and LOVED the game only to find out about it's terrible reviews and general negativity around it.

After beating it again, almost 10 years later (yeah... holy shit.) I can say that it is indeed a flawed game. It's combat "somewhat" works, its story is so poorly told that I gotta be honest, I didn't understand most of it, and it's still one of my favorite gaming experiences of recent years.
Besides every issue I mentioned, there is just a lot of love and charm to be found in this game, not only that, the main cast is SO GOOD and fun to be around with that eventually, you keep playing just to see more interactions.
I mentioned before that I didn't understand most of the story, and I'm not kidding. I have no CLUE what the hell is altissia, what is that giant fish demon thingy and I don't know what was the deal with the villain. What I know is that it still was more than enough to make me cry at the ending, and honestly, this gotta count for something.
It's a charming game, relatively short and sometimes really fun. Give it a go!

Combat is garbage. The game as a whole is unsatisfying tbh. My "in game" hours played are mostly letting the game sitting paused on my pc trying to motivate myself to get back in and finish it.

Recently bought this on my PC after years playing it over and over on PS4/PS5. This is my favorite game out of all of the final fantasy and can't wait to see more in the future! This is so nostalgic and ahead of it's time.

didn't enjoy it so much at launch but as time went on maybe my taste changed or I was able to actually appreciate this game fully. A lot has been said about this game and all I can add is it is fun but can be "boring" I enjoy the auto drive sim honestly I can play on my phone or do something on my other monitor. The combat is not bad actually its like a watered down ff 16. And the graphics are amazing the cut scenes in this game make me want to watch the Final fantasy movies.

The whole game just feels like one long list of sidequests and despite having an RTX4060, it has still crashed multiple times for no reason

Combat feels janky and bad, and you can't even customize the gamepad controls.

Party members are dumped on you with no introduction. None of them have any likeable personality and each exists to fill out a trope.

If you get the sense that FFXV feels like an MMO, that's because it was made by a dude who only does MMOs.

Most of the setting music is absolutely terrible, usually being a guitar or harmonica cover of older FF tracks. I guess they figured this was suitable for fantasy California?

I got this super cheap on sale and I still feel regret.

graphics make me want to sob but was fun and unique and i love most final fantasy games so im bias but this is peak

could've easily been one of the best games of all time but the fact that they couldn't just make the full game with all the story contents where they should be is a bit disappointing. use a guide as for how to understand the story better and you will definitely enjoy it a lot

Great looking game with the optional 4k download. I haven't gotten to far into the story, but it seems pretty standard for Final Fantasy.

I don't know what to tell you. It is a game that i enjoyed somewhat and then decided to just go for the main quest line.
The story could be interesting if it was portrayed or executed well. If somebody took the story and remixed it a bit with all of the added extra things they did with the movies and such. Maybe it would have made for a good book or manga. But what they did is confusing and boring. I did like the Open world riding along with the Boyz stopping for pictures or getting engine parts to upgrade the ride and such, fishing and hunting is fun. Anyway i enjoy all of the side stuff but the main story really soured me on the game, maybe i will come back way later and continue playing now that i just do the side content.
But tldr story is mid and 2b skin for Ignis goes hard. but this at a heavy sale.

This game is a bit deceiving in that the opening cutscenes and gameplay make it seem like it'll be interesting but it becomes tedious and annoying after the 2-3 hour mark. This game has one of the most frustrating travel systems in recent memory which is why I put it down. Seemingly every quest involves fast traveling close to the objective and then having to run half a mile to reach it in the middle of nowhere before fast traveling back and running even more to find the person to turn it in. So much of the game is just spent aimlessly running through open desert it gets boring and grating real fast. Maybe I'll pick it up again when I'm feeling more patient but I just found it way too boring.

After struggling to play Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, this game is a welcome change. It makes so much more sense, is visually beautiful, both the music and the art. Very good tutorials.

FF15 is a masterclass at confusing and scattered story telling. Detailing the story of a young prince and his rock band of misfits as they travel the countryside in the worlds most expensive mode of transportation only to eventually lead themselves back home, without said worlds most expensive mode of transportation.

NO seriously the story is actually pretty good, and one of my favorite FF stories to date. Sadly it took the windows edition to eventually see this most of the full story to fruition, and even then that took far too long to reach our PC screens. And even then the story is by far nothing complete without being knee deep in reading, movie, and anime material along it's windy road at explaining a true, full, and understood story.


But why is that?

Well if you want to travel with the prince of light your going to have to put your controller down, that is if you care to see the story play out point for point. Here, and example, and i'll do my best to only spoil one early game part of it:

"Noctis leaves the city in a cut-scene."
"Player starts to play the game for roughly 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on playtime."
"Player witnesses another cut-scene of the city....."

HOLD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright put your controllers down because this "cut-scene' is actually a full fledged movie that's roughly 110 minutes, or almost equal to 2 full hours of Final Fantasy lore that your going to need to know for anything later to make any sense. And i'm sure many will tell me no that's not true, but a lot happens in this movie and a lot we never fully get an understanding on, even in the complete edition.

A lot of spoilers too, so for those more interested just take my word for it, you'll be confused why Luna has what she does, why the kingdom at all fell, why the empire are jerks, and why the crystal is important, and that we even had one in the city to begin with now stolen.

Starting to see my point yet?


This game is chalk full of it. DLC that came out months after release that impact moments of the story we simply randomly brush off as "I guess will never know" leading to critical moments in character development and behind the scenes questions. Things that, while they show up in game lead to nothing or simply confuse players. Looking at your Prompto.

Writing that gives alternative story lines and branching narrative to the reasons why Luna's brother hates Noctis, and why Noctis has nearly 0 personality and reasons why he does anything. You know lore.


I could go on, but I'll spare you from anymore needless banter if you somehow made it this far. So while the story is good and interesting it's only such when you understand it in it's full, and this game still does not do that. I could talk about other things also like gameplay or technical issues but these are not why I play a Final Fantasy game. I come for the story, the world and I only got 1/4 of the pie.

Plus, without a story, what is a Final Fantasy game? Unless you like to ride in the Regalia, which, I wont disagree.

Great story although it gets muddy at points, combat was fun and responsive 7/10

This is my favourite Final Fantasy game currently. I say this with a caveat which is that it actually isn't a great game because bizarre/unfinished story and also the fact that the game-play is just some terribly thought out button mashing mess.

The reason this game is my favourite FF game is that the setting and atmosphere of this game are truly remarkable and is unmatched by many of RPG games I've played. It was worth buying and playing just for the world you play in and the road-trip mechanic.

The effort they put into the episode Argyn DLC would have been better used for finishing and improving the base game.

So i've finished this game years after i first started it and the reason for this is the last couple of missions that have a completely different feel than the earlier ones.
It starts out like a fairly open-world rpg with a beautiful world, interesting locations / story and quite fun game mechanics.
But later on it changes into a boring dungeon crawler in linear indoor and outdoor spaces. The story also seems to stop developing and gets rushed into oblivion. by the time i reached the ending i felt zero emotional attachment to the whole thing, mainly because the ending is just as bad and rushed as the later missions.
So yeah, i played on to finish it and experience the conclusion but was left disappointed.

This is one of my all-time favourite games and was also my first ever Final Fantasy titles. I love the bromance in this story and the beautiful landscapes. The visuals look great on PC with the 4K texture pack. I understand some Final Fantasy loyalists often frown upon this entry, but I really enjoyed it. Prompto is one of my favourites, not just in this game, but in all games I have ever played (although Cloud and Noctis come close from the FF series). Shame FF15 never got fully implemented as they cut the DLC short, but what does exist is pretty decent. I highly recommend this game.

I've waited 4 years for this game, bought a whole PS4 for it and enjoyed every second of it. I think someone who didn't follow the production of this game and hasnt consumed the additional media to this game will have a hard time finding any sort of bond with the characters in the game because sadly the game seems very rushed despite the long production time (probably because they kept scrapping ideas and starting anew). That being said, I DID do all of that and I DID have a connection to these characters and loved seeing the interactions between the boys in game and out of it. I quickly grew fond of this game despite its quirks and bugs and to this day this is still my favourite game of all time.
Since I stopped using my Playstation and started investing into proper PCs I felt like something was missing so I quickly spent another dime on the Windows version of this game.
It runs horrible and my PC is really not bad, especially for this game. But it still captures the same feeling I had as a 15 year old kid booting this game up for the first time, hearing the Somnus theme and falling in love with Final Fantasy all over again.

One of the best final fantasy games for new players to jump into. The story, gameplay and combat is great alongside the soundtrack. Replayability 10/10, so many optional side quest and exploration waiting to happen. The only downside is that the game made me realize I'm a *terrible* driver lol.

10/10 Overall
10/10 Story
10/10 characters I love Prompto and the whole dynamic with the guys
8/10 It felt the same for most of it but the overall game just makes up for it
I got mine on sale for around +20 amazing deal fosho must buy

6/10
Final Fantasy XV is easily the one I had the most curiosity for just due to how split it is among fans. Is it good, or is it terrible. Is it a misunderstood masterpiece, or is it a stain in the final fantasy legacy. I have fully tried to experience FF15, mainly through the story (didn't do post game content), I've watched the movie, watched the anime, done all the dlc, and will be reading the book after this review. Even after doing all that, I have come to accept that while no, I do not think FF15 is a misunderstood masterpiece or a stain in the final fantasy legacy, it is easy to see that it was a FF game with such high potential, ruined by a complex development hell, unrealized story potential, and a game that feels like it has missing pieces all over the place.

Story
This is easily the most talked about point of this game, with either the largest praise or the largest criticisms. Is it a masterpiece of a story? I wouldn't say, but I would say it is honestly a pretty damn good story... in theory. Understanding FF15 is understanding the 10 year development hell this game went through, with the most important point being they had to fire the old director, and made the new director cobble up whatever they had in 2-3 years, which while does seem like a ton of time, is NOT the amount of time needed to make a game of this scale. What is created is a great story, told in a piss poor way. Game starts and is centered around a war you have no idea about? Explained in the 2 hour long movie Kingsglaive. Main character and 3 of his buddies the game expects you to know who they are? Explained in the 1 hour long anime. Characters go missing and aren't explained what tf they did? Explained in the DLC. So many bits of this game has unexplained plot points that never go answered cause well, they weren't for awhile. With the final product we have now and with ALL of those new story bits, it does tell a pretty interesting story once you step back to understand everything... But of course you can't understand EVERYTHING cause now the future dlc got cancelled, so the final dlc of Ardyn which does explain the MUCH NEEDED reasoning for his motivations, creates a new plot of a evil god that will never be explained. It is just a mess and I do not blame anybody for just saying fuck it. The early chapters were honestly pretty good as well once I've watched the 2 shows, but it does screech into a halt from past chapter 3 all the way to around chapter 9-10. Even once you get to the new story development, if you do not play the dlc you end up missing a ton of context. With the context, it is amazing, as you witness Noctis come to terms with what he has to do as a king, and achieve his true mission... however only for the ardyn dlc to bring a new threat that will never be resolved. Even with this rant I still did like the story a ton even with how terrible it is told, messages of fate, with the main story focusing on following your true fate, and hints of defying your fate in the dlc were sprinkled, I can only dream if they actually realize the story's full potential.

Character
The characters of 15 share the same sentiment I have with the story, amazing potential, wasted with missing plot explanations and the inability to tell the player why they should care for anybody. Not only are the character designs for this game just so damn good, but playing through the DLC shows how much potential they all had, but is ruined by the story only taking place in Noctis' point of view. The four main characters feel like true friends, but you would never know that unless you saw the anime before that, and you will never understand their motivations when they go missing till you play the dlc. You spend so much time with them that it is a shame the game didn't deliver their development naturally throughout the game. Prompto ended up becoming my favorite of the friends, but only because I loved his arc during his dlc. Gladio has a great older brother vibe to him that honestly, the base game did do a good job with along ignis, who is made even better with his dlc. Noctis himself was really damn good, but fails to reach the heights of other main characters in FF due to how short the game cuts off his development, and rushes his development near the end once the time skip happens. The biggest waste was easily Luna, who barely had any screen time at all. I cared little for her character, and her biggest moment in the game made me realize that she was just wasted. Ardyn was also such an amazing villain, in theory. He has such a peak design and has the building blocks to be one of the best FF villains, as his dlc finally explains his motivations. However, the dlc throws the blame towards an evil god we will never see the conclusion to. The other characters were interesting, but needed more development. Easily the highest potential cast I have ever seen in many of the FF games, but wasted by how much time they were given to develop in the main story.

Gameplay
Honestly, I liked the gameplay, especially after accepting this FF game is not traditional. Driving around the world, finding things to do around the world and doing hunts was a pretty enjoyable thing to do. Some issues do arise later on though. First, the combat at first is just a hold left click and dodge with right click, but the parry loop and upgrading the parry so it becomes pretty strong was very fun to do, even upgrading the standard combat was pretty fun. The magic system in this game was just broken, you either avoid it all together and barely use any magic in the game, or craft the spells and realize that while limited, they can nearly one shot most bosses in this game due to their insane damage potential. Getting bored of noctis gameplay? upgrade the casts so you can play as them, who all have much different gameplay loops to Noctis. After awhile however I wasn't feeling that much into the combat loop, making me for the first time in awhile not want to grind the post game for the superboss and quite honestly, I blame the sudden halt past chapter 10. The game decides to ditch what makes the gameplay special and make it a more linear, restricted experience. You lose your friends so no more switching, you lose the car, you lose your powers and are given a ring that is quite literally busted, but is not that fun to use. It is a shame cause I can see myself playing through the post game if that last chapters of this game doesn't ditch what makes this game so special in the first place. The DLC focus on the other party members and do showcase how special their moveset are, especially Ardyn, which the game does a wonderful job showing that while he is very strong, he mirrors Noctis in nearly every way.

Music
Pretty good music, you can tell how much love was put into the soundtrack of this game. Somnus, Valse Di Fantastica, Noctis theme, the character and dlc songs, it is pretty hard to hate on the OST just cause of how beautiful it really is. Alongside that, the game includes songs from previous FF games all the way to ff14, it is all so damn amazing.

Last Positives/Nitpicks
- Performance issues even with a 4070 super, but probably because I turned everything to max including NVIDIA features.
-Terra and FF14 crossover side quests were pretty damn good.

Conclusion
If I were to talk about all of the pieces of this game as a total, I would probably say this game would had been one of the best FF games. However with how scattered the storytelling is, how lacking in story focused side content, and how instead of fixing the game as a whole, they did bandage solutions of telling you important aspects in either dlc, or a different media makes this game very hard to recommend. However, I still think this game was pretty fun at the end of the game, but easily is the most missed potential FF entry I have played yet.
6/10

A flawed but deeply loving gem of a game. Through development hell this game emerged and the Windows Edition is the perfect experience. Don't be afraid to do a little research on what order to watch/play things though, trust me, it'll make the experience even better.

This was the second Final Fantasy game I ever tried (and honestly, it might be my last; not because it was bad, but just because I’m not super into the series). That said, I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed traveling in a game as much as I did in this one. The world feels so alive, and the bond between the characters? Absolutely priceless. The story had me completely hooked, and man... I wish I had a friend group like that in real life.

I played this instead of studying (no regrets), and honestly, it was the best decision. I was stuck in my hometown during the summer thanks to university nonsense, and this game made my days so much better.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable journey, go for it.

This is my second playthrough of this game from back when it was released and it's even better the 2nd time. The PC texures take it to a whole new level.

Definetly not the best Final Fantasy game. Story feels kind of nonsense every now and then. It's not justified you have to watch the animes to understand everything as a videogame should be understandable on its own. Combat feels kind of lame. Just spam B/circle and use plenty of potions. Enemies are a damage sponge. Buy it only for about 10-20€.

After all it's kiiiind of enjoyable somehow.

It feels like half the story ended up on the cutting room floor, but a bigger issue it is such a buggy broken unstable port that I can't recommend it. Stutters even on a 4080 and Ryzen 7900X. Have to save and restart it once an hour to avoid crashes. I don't have any stability issues with my other games (except FF16, but that is still far more stable than this turd)

After a restart, I spent 20 minutes on the tedious Cerberus fight grinding that health bar down to zero, only to get a 5 second cutscene, and then his health back up to 100% and literally the same fight in the same location, only for the game to crash out part way through and lose all progress. I'm done. I don't care enough about the story to deal with this. I wish I could refund it but please don't buy this game.

Lovely Final Fantasy

Great combat and story check it out if you love FF.

i conquered this game originally on xbox at launch. The game is slow paced, mechanically easy, empty world, lots of fetch missions, with a radius mission where you wander around hoping to find a needle, story is broken up with forced plots with a lot of off screen stuff that happens. The combat is either hold a button, hold a dodge or lock on then teleport to enemy. So loooooots of bad stuff with this game. still better than 13 so it gets thumbs up

With a slight pacing fix and having an option to play all the DLC's when they take place in the story and this game would be a 10/10

I remember playing this game on PS4, the first time I've played any final fantasy games and i'm very grateful. That fact, that i can play it on the computer for the first time is amazing, you can add mod which was interesting. The time i spend grinding on this game is one of the best experience I've had. I'm bad at explaining things. Should you play this game, yes the hype when it first came out was in incredible. Something ill cherish forever. Thank You for coming to my ted talk ^^

👍
I'll give this game a positive because i still enjoyed my experience with it, but i can't help but point out how much potential this game had with its story. Even if you watch everything and play the dlcs when you need to, there's still clearly shit missing which is just so sad and disappointing. This could've been one of the best games in the franchise but just fell way too short.

Imo the gameplay, lore and character moments between the main 4 guys was enough for me to remain invested and have fun.

Originally released for the Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4), I was hoping this game will be released to the PC and my wish came true but originally didn't have the Computer to support this. My nephew has built me a computer and it took me some time to purchase this game due to cost and my limited Internet access.

Finally bought this game after running the Game Benchmark tool (2022) and was advised of "Average" performance on normal setting, What interested me on this game is the removal of the Active Turn Bar (ATB) and focused on real time Action similar to "The Third Birthday" (Or Parasite Eve 3 to some people).

The good side is the tuneup they made for the PC version and I loved every part of it, from the real time effects and interaction to the ability to explore the world as needed. Cindy ( or the "Eye candy" mechanic) also reminds me of what SquareEnix would do in terms of character details (don't forget the Chocobo!!!), I have breathe a sigh of relief for staying on the PC platform instead of buying the PS4 (I have the OG Playstation and Playstation Portable so don't worry Sony!)

Even though there were minor issue on character responsiveness during battle or some attack doesn't land even though the animation did register, I found it minor and really enjoy the experience.

This is one of the expensive purchase I made and was really thankful about it, I hope I can enjoy this more and hopefully SquareEnix is doing their best to surprise me in the future.

Note: To SquareEnix, please be patience with my purchases since It cost a fortune to buy a game and don't forget to return to your root on why you have developed the Final Fantasy series, I have bought the Final Fantasy 7,8,9,X,X-2 after 2 decades and XV is my way of thanking your company for releasing your game to Steam. Thank you for reliving my younger years. (Respectful Bow...)
