Final Fantasy XV - Before You Buy

[@jerryanguiano6179]

I just bought FFXV as a first time player. I went in with no bias or final fantasy experience and I'm absolutely loving this game. He said probably wasn't a game for first-time players but to be a first-time player I think this game is definitely worth a try. It's become one of my favorite games.

Japanese games might be weird, but they are unique, wild, and creative. they can be bad, the can be cheesy, they can be staright up ''what the fuck'' but they will never, ever be boring. they will always feel alive, even the most poorly made Final Fantasy (for most it would be FFXIII) have some heart in it. western industries are full of games that are ''technically decent'', those Far Cry games and Assassin's Creed games and Mafia games, those games always get a solid score like 8/10, but they are never really interesting or memorable at all. I have played some Japanese games that I personally dislike, but even then they are still somewhat memorable to me, they never really make me want to hate it or dislike it. even the most boring Japanese game have something that you will remember well. Resident Evil 6 is a good example, it is one of the worst RE game I've played and yet the characters still makes me smile till this day, they are neither deep or well written, but they have heart. and that's all that matters. I would rather play a bad 5/10 Japanese game like Star Ocean 5 or FFXIII than another ''8/10'' Ubisoft open world game with no heart Japan, please never change

[@jakewolf079]

you won't believe me anyways, but I still have to clarify. I do have a girlfriend, and we are engaged. and no, I am not a weeabo white kid. I am Asian, from Asia, maybe that's why I like Japanse game more than western games. I know in america they call Japanese game fans ''virgins'' or ''weebs'', but truth be told girls probably would rather be with them than some fat ass sitting on their ass watching football all day. seriously, you people are not nearly as cool as you think you are, your social life is a mess and you still have no girlfriend after college.

[@Rockerezio1996]

"It's going to be harder for people who've never played any final fantasy game" Strong disagree, this is my first final fantasy game I tried and I loved it. And even though I have heard how amazing other games are, I'll never try them because their playstyle is just not one i like (PERSONAL PREFERENCE, STRONG EMPHASIS ON THIS). Not a fan of the turn based combat at all, which is the main turn off for me. FFXV solved that issue, gave me a hell of a good story (yes plot holes, yes makes no sense, yes some characters suck etc etc, Heard all that and idgaf). I will strongly be looking for other Final Fantasy games in future if they keep this type of gameplay. A more plot-hole-less story would be appreciated, but honestly, I am more than satisfied.

[@RPGamerverse]

Look into the ff7 remake, I think you’ll like it.

[@alabamaisthebest9261]

Mridul Gupta same thing with me

[@cheilas87]

It gave you a hell good of a story because it's the only ff game you ever played. Actually it's the worst story out of every ff game. Biggest disappointment for hardcore fans. You're lucky not to be one.

[@delete7316]

I agree except I’m a long term fan and loved turn based battle but now I am happy they’ve dropped it for this style of gameplay idgaf about plot holes either just imagine they aren’t there

[@captainflowers748]

Yes, because it's also made for first-timer, you do not need to play the previous title to understand anything because it its own game within the franchise. You do not need to play the games involving Lightning to understand XV cause it has nothing to do with her. Those who say first-timers will find it hard is rather idiotic.

[@vatothabeast]

I keep seeing people complaining about the summons and I don't understand why. Summons are not just giant pokemon in this game they are gods. No one would bother doing actual combat if you could simply summon a giant god to hurl an island at your enemies essentially board wiping the field. It's not like they don't exist, their purpose is to occasionally turn the tables on your enemies and get you out of a pinch when the situation is dire, that's how it should be. It just makes sense given the style of the game. If they weren't essentially a one hit kill and worked like summons of previous entries then i could understand being upset but they work well in the context of the game as it is

[@ACmaniacos]

Couldnt agree more. I would love 2 more usable summons tho, Ifrit and Bahamut being usable by the player. Ending was perfect for me. made me tear up a bit and actually feel proud of what Noctis did to save the world and sad at the same time due to the final cutscene. Truly great game

[@vatothabeast]

Dys I've started hitting the main story hard but there's so many distractions. I'm entertained just driving the regalia around and just witnessing the beauty of the world. When you come out of that tunnel going towards the volcano and the first thing you see is that breathtaking canyon with the rock arches bridging the gap, absolutely amazing. I hope bahamut and ifrit become summonable as well. I really like bahamut's dragoon design

Bob Dole if they removed extra space then the game would be good, cause I like the combat and the content. Like I said, just wished the game wasn't too much empty blank walking/driving

[@bobdole9874]

xMagicalDanny Exactly, I got so bored after playing for 5 hours doing literally nothing I just stopped playing and don't know if I care to anymore. I have more fun driving to work.

Seriously, time running and driving car is not 90%, I'm playing now and I can not even remember when I runned. I think you guys do not know how to play. Another important point, if you look at the movie, you will be more anxious to see the end of the game.

[@keiyutiffany5323]

For any KH fans who are new to this, I'm waiting for KH3, too, and I fell in love with this game. It has a lot of similarities to the Kingdom Hearts franchise, but just feels a lot more real and organic. It will be easy for you to adjust to the configuration, but it does lack that certain "brilliance" that Kingdom Hearts has, since it's based on real life, rather than fantasy and different worlds. In all, I really like the feel of it and got into it really quickly! Not to mention, there's an open battle mode that lets you just wander into The Crown City and fight whatever comes at you for however long you want, so you can get used to how everything works without dying or depleting resources. I'd give it a try, if you haven't already!

[@Auron710]

I am the opposite I could never get into KH at all. Many of my friends are the same as u guys, "i hate turn based combat" (loves pokemon games). Nothing wrong with that, i love them too. i just dont get how u can dislike it in FF7 or X etc (not the bad later FF games like 13), and like it in pokemon. To me its the exact same thing going on its just pokemion sprites instead of FF characters. attack, heal, sheild, run, etc its all the same basically. u just dont catch new ones u level up the characters u have ;p

while i definitely will buy this, and play it, i am kinda tired of the thing going on where the main story is kinda short and there are loads of side quests to make up for it. many people like that, and i appreciate that the developers put so much effort into it, but personally i am that guy who plays and explores as long as the story continues, and once the story is over i stop playing. for me the story just feels like the very reason for your journy if you get what i mean. once the story is over you kinda start to question why you are still travelling around. i kinda miss those games where you had a story mode, and once that story was over, you're done with it. because back then many stories just seemed longer, and they had less plot holes. nowadays it feels like the devs stop worrying about a good story and just use the side quests and giant worlds as an excuse for it.

TheStacked Gamer that's completely different. I love the dark souls games and I completely agree with him. There aren't even any side quests in dark souls unless you're including character questlines. That doesn't have anything to do with what he said

[@markevans4617]

gameranx Only problem with this game is that after the gang reaches Altissia, the rest of the story jumps around and leaves a lot of plotholes. The meatier part of the story, that should've been flushed out, was rushed incredibly and I'm so disappointed from a story standpoint... Great plot, terrible storytelling

[@dantevic]

[@BlackangelKatakuri]

[@FettyWap-hq2wu]

Lonnie Dearing so there's going to be a DLC for it do you like Morgan stories because they be honest when I beat the game I feel like there's nothing to do besides the do side quest and fight monsters like that's basically it and to me that's not fun at all I mean you're just wasting your time fighting monsters basically even though I do it admit the graphics are amazing but it's still boring I was thinking about getting my refund and spend my money on something else but I heard they're having a online so if they do I probably keep it and if they had DLC I'll probably even keep it more meaning him more interesting in it yet I haven't seen online yet

[@MathalanAgne]

You can actually fast travel in this game if you go too map then go to parking locations or towns/settlements. It's in the 3rd option when you pull out the map. Soooo yeah... hopefully that helps some people

[@Annihilus187]

Incredible game. Aside from a few quirky issues when going to pick items up or get into the car this game hits every possible final fantasy note for me. From cruising around listening to old FF music, teaming up in battle to do massive damage on an enemy, or just exploring the vast world, this game does virtually everything right. The combat is engaging which really helps propel me to continue on my journey no matter what the quest is. Even fishing is compelling. Additionally, taking pictures, fishing, cooking, and riding your chocobo are all worth doing. You are rewarded for doing these activities by unlocking perks as you level up each skill. 9/10 for me so far. It isn't perfect but it's really close.

[@LeyLynn]

I feel conflicted. This is my first FF game, although I actually have FF VI Advance that I picked up a couple months ago but never sat down to play it. However, a guy I know at work is a huge FF fan and actually asked me if I was getting FF 15 the day before it's release. I told him that I was planning on getting it however it would be my first official FF game. He looked at me completely disappointed asking how I've never played any of them before. He told me that he was getting at midnight via digital, and was really excited to play. I picked it up the next day and started playing later that day after work. I played basically for five hours straight, and much more the next day. I'm enjoying the game by taking my time, doing a bunch of sidequests, 19 hours in only on Chapter 3. Yet I do see how some people could probably not like it. Anyone that just does the story will be disappointed in how short it is(as far as jrpgs go), some sidequests can become repetitive, the weapons merch doesn't have a huge selection, and if your not a fan of timed events the combat might feel lack luster. Today at work I asked the guy whether he's enjoying FF 15 or not, and he flat out told me it's "garbage", "The game sucks", "Played only a couple hours and was seriously disappointed", "Can't believe I wasted $60". Even says that his brother who is an even bigger FF fan feels the same. I'm seeing all these reviews mostly giving it good scores, even watching fans of the series saying they enjoy 15. I know this is slightly different but I can't really say if it's good or bad when it's honestly my first FF game. I might be a bit over leveled in regards to the story missions but I'm finding little difficulty. In all honesty I've only encountered a Game Over once when I foolishly attempted the early Mine dungeon at Lv 15. Only to find the end boss in the 50's. I was like "seriously, all the enemies before are like 10-12, wtf!"

[@kingquan3826]

Zionboy17 Totally see your point lol

[@octorangutan]

Zionboy17 I think people will never be satisfied until they look at it from a beginners/unbiased perspective. I played the original (on iOS... didn't finish it.) and also played 10 (didn't finish due to technical issues.) Each game has its own quirk and charm. If you go into a new FF game expecting the same experience, then don't bother. The series is so stand-alone with its individual games and the variety of story/gameplay has to be why it is so widely taken as one of the most prolific RPG titles in history. Don't let veterans of the series get you down because they are stuck in the past. I am LOVING 15, btw. I'm taking it slow as well.

[@octorangutan]

Zionboy17 By the way, that dungeon is evil... lol

[@marimar7079]

Zionboy17 I've played most of FF games and this one is bit different in the combat/story but I fell in love with this game. The emotions it gives is so strong, I cried and laughed so much. For me it's right behind FF X. I think most people hate this game cause it's not what SE said it be nor does it have such an extensive story still a great game tho.

[@yass3425]

How is the combat of this game? I saw alot of players commenting about it being a single button mashing is that the truth?

[@Wulfsguy7039]

@@yass3425 No, not really. While I do think the combat system could have been more well thought out, it is not just button mashing. Its moreso maneuvering. What kind of attack you do depends on the directing your moving. For example, with the great sword, you can do a slash from the left or right depending on what direction youre moving your guy and you can also do a charge up spin attack by holding the stick down and you can mess up and leave yourself open to the enemy with the wrong move. On top of that there is a parrying system and when you succeed you get to combo with one of your teammates. The combat system is really not as bad as people make it out to be.

FFXV was my first FF and it is now one of my favorite games of all time. It was amazingly put together. The characters were well written, the voice acting was phenominal, and the game play was so engaging. I absolutely love it! 10/10 IGN.

[@Atelierwanwan]

I liked it though I had a fair few issues with it. Finished the entire thing in only 50 hours that includes all the side quests and probably 70% of the bounties. The main story is super short as most of that time I was running around looking for specific things, doing the side quests or in one instance walked away from it while I waited for day so I could take a single damn picture without having to climb a volcano all over again. They also brushed over or ignored an whole bunch of things including without spoiling a very interesting scene that doesn't get talked about, acknowledged of even actually occurs at all ever again and it looked so much more interesting than a bunch of the other stuff going on. Combat is fun but pretty broken in some aspects. Some enemies are just able to chain you too well. Best example is in a level 55 late game area which has you running through lots of small hallways. There are lightning bombs that grow super quickly and when they explode they spawn more. In the narrow hallways the camera fights you and you can't really get at them so before long the entire room is filled to the brim with them all exploding every ten seconds obliterating you. That being said even after all that I never actually game overed and I was playing on normal. The other thing about enemies is a large majority of them won't stagger from your attacks while at the same time will stagger you with every single hit. This becomes a huge problem in the same area I mentioned before as several of them would push you up into a corner and they attack so fast you can't effectively block, dodge, faze or retaliate in any way. In some of the rooms these enemies were also accompanied by the earlier mentioned bombs. I made it through but it was all just super frustrating. That leads me onto another thing. Your allies are USELESS! Except maybe Ignis. Prompto even though he is ranged is up getting his face eaten off and I must have used thousands of elixirs on him because he was dying every 10 seconds even at level 70 with all the health and vit boosters I could put on him, he also doesn't really do much damage. Gladio is kind of okay. His special moves dish out loads of damage and he will sometimes knock down a troublesome enemy but most of the time I see him he's just kind of standing around with his sword over his shoulder doing nothing. It's especially frustrating when I'm in the corner getting stun-locked by hobgoblins. When it comes to boss battles? Don't rely on them at all. In fact just ignore them entirely because they are more than useless. Magic is really fun to figure out and pretty powerful but I found myself using it less and less as the game went on because it just becomes less effective. There's also the fact there is no way to make your allies back off so you either don't use it or constantly hit your friends with it too (I chose the latter more often than not). Some spells are just more trouble than they are worth. Firaga specifically. It's nice and powerful but for a fairly long time after there's a load of fire on the ground that doesn't really affect the enemies other than slight burns but in really gets in your way. You can't walk through it because it will set you on fire and stagger you repeatedly until you move out of it so you are essentially making a section of the battlefield unusable for your team but the enemy can pass with only a minor burn. It's also annoying to hear and see your companions running into it over and over again like morons. Then there's dialogue. It's fine, mostly. I am tired of hearing my allies complain at me when I change my weapon to close to them but what annoys me most is hearing them bitch at me every time I swing my sword at an enemy and they happen to be in a 5 meter radius of said enemy. The walk around dialogue is kind of repetitive too but the biggest issue about those conversations is how many of them I missed, the special ones that don't seem to repeat later. This occurs when something else happens in the world like Imperial ships overhead. It will cut off whatever they were talking about whether it was banter or important story stuff to yell something like "Imperials above!" never to mentioned again. Finally the music/travel/fishing. You are going to be doing a lot of running around outside your car as well as a lot of sitting around awhile the car drives itself from place to place (even with Noctis at the wheel, you just hold the accelerate and have to manually brake and turn onto roads). It's nice to have all the older soundtracks but there's not nearly enough music and those can get pretty bland after awhile. Also after awhile you can buy and mp3 player to listen to music outside the car while you run around doing other stuff. Nice feature to a point. It stops playing your music for literally everything. This is especially annoying for things like fishing. Fishing is slow and dull so I thought if I could listen to the mp3 player while I do it it would liven things up. Nope. It turns off the moment you start and you cannot turn it on during fishing (unless there is a way I just didn't figure out). Also it doesn't work when battles start and while on a chococbo. I love that chocobo music so no big loss there but considering most of your time outside the car you will be on a chocobo, fishing or getting into repeated battles it makes the mp3 player practically pointless. Those are just my complains as I played through the whole thing. Despite all that I really enjoyed the game and will probably play it again many times over. Looking forward to the DLC content too.

As far as RPG'S go, I was drawn to Witcher 3 more than FF15 for the simple fact that it feels more like the old FF games with somewhat defined goals and quests to undertake.

[@toddstone230]

Yep, I see alot of first time players calling it the best in the series lol

[@RedceLL1978]

Agreed. As an OG gamer that's played literally since Final Fantasy 1, they've utterly gone off the rails and destroyed what was cool about story telling and gameplay. Excluding FFXI and XIV (the 2 online games)the last decent FF game was 12. (Now remastered as Zodiac Age). This reviewer sounds like he's a noob to the series in his early 20s and is saying what he thinks will sound right but doesn't actually know what he's talking about, mostly because he's failing at convincing anyone he's an actual veteran of the FF games.

[@richardberner585]

I did run FF 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 and 15. Dropped VII (the original version), 5 and 6, but for 6 plan to give another chance. I like FF IV character set bit more, and also the story there is more satisfying (when happy ends were a thing). This said, I love FF XV too. And I started it with very low expectations, because of the hate feed I got about it. Bought it only because was on discount, but never regreted. Game does have flaws, but the team behind it put serious love in that game. How many trashy jrpgs are out there with dumb stories, unappealing characters(copy-paste from generic anime) and terrible gameplay that cost as much as FF XV, if not even more? Really, can't understand teh hate. Hope is only vocal minority. For me, this game is masterpiece.

[@chrisg7309]

Kinda sucks how much footage square put out from the main story... I'm 10 hours in and still have yet to see a main story quest that wasn't shown in a gameplay video released by them...

[@Adiopowered]

I know this is long, but just hang in there with me for a few moments. Last December I was visiting with my sister and brother in law. he stated to me not to tell him ANYTHING about the new star wars that was coming out as he had purposely avoided every ad and trailer for it and wanted to go into the movie blind. He loved the movie, I found the movie to be a little dull as I had seen so many spoilers. I have now adapted his method of watching 0 trailers for a movie or game I want to play/watch. I cannot tell you how much more I have enjoyed some games/movies since I went incompletely blind. Might be something you could adopt in the future. Publishers/movie studio's trailers just give away to much now days.

[@chrisg7309]

Steven M yeah, but when you wait for something nearly a decade, it's a little hard not to at least take a peak when they put up massive gameplay dumps half a year before release

[@robzsarmy5471]

You have to watch the anime sadly.

[@icemandog9920]

Booty Has Risen that's why you don't watch them

[@Wasechubby]

this was my first Final Fantasy game , and I've had it for like 4 days and I'm 18ish hours in, and I love it. never thought I'd play a Final Fantasy tbh, but a local game shop had it with no case for $8 so I figured why not . the combat system is alright, and the soundtrack is amazing. The game has a lot of customizable elements which I love.

[@giogaul63]

i've never clicked so fast on a video

[@gameranxTV]

woah, thanks.

[@v4sdude191]

gameranx sup

[@limberlad]

I never thumbs upped a comment so fast

[@Mrghostdetector]

this is my first final fantasy wish me luck!!!

[@TheLastLegendxv]

this is my second. or 3red? cause ff 1 and 2 on the gba. i really liked the magic and sword skill progresstion by the more you use something the better you get at it, shame that no one really dose that stuff.

[@mothcircle]

Coolguy played em all man, 1-XV, your gonna love it!

[@christermonsen5637]

I'd say u still haven't played a ff game yet then for sure, cause this is everything ff is not except the monster types...

[@LotsaLOUD]

JRPG only one that comes to mind is Dragons Dogma. Never played a FF game before

[@alfredoreyes5105]

Love love love this; one of my favorite FFs, though at this point I wouldn't consider myself a HUGE FF fan (Played VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII, XIII-2, and XV) I love the character interactions during idle moments and the battle system is incredible; the best approximation of real-time-but-actually-a-lot-more-turn-based-than-you-think. Defines this generation of consoles for me. Also astounds me how this, which came out 4 years ago, looks twice as good as this years FF VII Remake.

[@Coreisus]

Everybody claiming you need to watch Kingsglaive and Brotherhood to understand the story, really don't remember playing FF7 or FFX...... or rather don't comprehend that type of story telling. Yall just nitpicking.

[@Moochers]

I was on the fence of getting this game. 2:50 just sold me. Idk why. But that view..... Something about it.

[@zekeruff6195]

I want it genuinely because Kingdom Hearts 3 isnt out yet.

[@kingquan3826]

Zeke Ruff are you getting 2.8 and the 1.5 and 2.5 remaster next year ?

[@zekeruff6195]

Troy Montana fuck yeah man but only 2.5 and 2.8. but even then march is lowkey far ya know?

[@kingquan3826]

Zeke Ruff I know and I don't think I care for 1.5 either . 2.5 includes 2 of the best kingdom hearts game in the franchise. So yea 2.8 and 2.5 for me also z

[@Loansome_]

Ok so my brother has a PS3 and I have a PS4 and wanted to get into the KH (and FF) series, so I asked if I could borrow his. I beat KH1 and understand the story for RE:COM, but I had to return his PS3 back to him. I bought 2.5 later but haven't started it up yet, so I've been wondering whether I should buy the remasters for PS4 anyways and either not play the PS3 versions or if there is any merit to getting it again on PS4, or beg my brother until he lets me use his PS3 again and maybe disregard the PS4 editions (maybe getting it later on for replaying or something). Anyone able to help me in my time of need?

[@zekeruff6195]

Loansome wait for the ps4

[@jasonkovacich3483]

Jake you do a great job on commenting an describing the games you do ( before you buy) you have helped me out so many times when purchasing tittles I have a huge collection a 185 games on disc an I have watched your videos only before buying a lot of them so thanks a lot for what you have bin doing in your videos and showing , teaching , helping learn, an advice. You have. Lot to say an know what your talking about an it’s bin a great help. Thanks a lot an cheers keep it up

[@jonathansmith8494]

So far this is one of the greatest ff games and rpgs I've ever played. It's cinematically and visually stunning. The game play is fun and the leveling system reminds me of an older ps1 and ps2 game I used to play which I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. It brings all the elements of older FF games together and is still fluid enough to do their own thing. I like the new fighting system it feels more realistic, I dislike wait mode however. The downfall is the vehicle system. I wish it was truly free roam or you could buy different vehicles or motorcycles. But over all it isn't bad. They really took their time on character development it feels like you truly get to know your characters. Worth the price tag. 10/10

[@BlackFox0911]

To those who feel camping out is so weird and out of place for a FF game just remember...even from FFI you’ve been able to use an item on the world map to regain your health. And what was that item’s name? A TENT. Other than the great amount of detail they put into the experience in FFXV it’s nothing as “new” as you think

[@giovahnnigucci409]

I bought this game yesterday at Wal-Mart for $9!! It’s the “Day One Edition”!! I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game. I can’t wait to install and play this game!!

[@creepyghostproductionz9026]

I think I got my copy from walmart for $10 a year or so ago...I bought the deluxe edition from a different walmart for like $20 a few months before that, lol.

[@deahim3764]

Did you like it?

[@MasriFamily101]

I start playing it yesterday, and I can't let down the controller, it took all my time and I like it alot, big fan of FF games and Square enix, thanks for the video

[@TheJollymice]

I play about 27 hours a day, is this game for me?

[@ninja_sloth3906]

Not with that attitude it's not.

[@ProOfWar15]

sleep is for the weak

[@Giacon]

ignoring the over exaggeration of how much you play, if you play for long periods each day, you'll beat it in less than a week

[@ethynrs9139]

DefyLogicc Really?

[@sickboyren]

a day only has 24 hours tho

[@maxtyson9035]

He looks like Uchiha Sasuke in his teens and Uchiha Itachi when he is grown up.

[@sirianakeletaona407]

FFXV was my first FF game , I really like the story and the characters (Mostly Ardyn) , and then I Became obsessed with FF . I bought Type-0 , X , X-2 and Dissidia NT .

[@woahwoah2207]

I recommend VII and XII

[@2ManyPlayers]

First Final Fantasy since 7, love it to death. You go on an emotional up and down with these characters, and while I have to admit it's not always done well, it is there. certain characters you feel you should have a connection to, but don't. Others you didn't know you had a connection to until it's too late and you're thirteen boxes of tissues into your supply. Some dungeons are liniar and simple, and others are maze crazy. Prompto makes this game look like Pun Simulator 2016, and I hate myself for paying attention to him. Some story elements need more explaining, you find yourself search the web for life answers, and others give too much information without you caring. The regalia is by far the most life changing aspect of the game. you hate it, then you love it, then you miss it, then you don't understand anything about it. It might as well be its own character. Come and game nothing is the same and you just want to go back to the begining. The game also features the JRPG style New Game +, so you can run through again with a fighting chance. Overall I give it a 8.5/10, with a useless hope of an overhaul

[@Five7weezy]

How much of this game have you actually played Jake? Considering it was only released yesterday. Did you start playing it earlier with a special pre-relesse?

[@gameranxTV]

+Five7weezy I got it early, yeah. Last Friday

[@DaddysFlipside]

gameranx What about the difficulty? You didn't mention anything about it in the video. (Sorry for piggybacking)

[@mako8091]

+luca13knt You can choose between Easy or normal.

[@whiskizyo2067]

well he told us what the second half of the game was like, so you'd wanna hope he's mostly played through the entire thing

[@mohamedalserkal3021]

Five7weezy yesterday?? I got it a week ago lol

[@Violetenist]

ngl i expected you to say in the beginning, "if you want a more story turn based rpg thats more high quality in design, play Persona 5"

[@brunopluksna3906]

First final fantasy game i ever played, bought because i loved kingdom hearts 3 fighting style, and these are similar. Love these games.

[@anthonymendenhall1776]

Honestly my favorite thing, now that I've started playing it years after it released, is the super wholesome interractions between the protagonists

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Exactly. The character dynamics are amazing. That’s why I loved the camping moments the most at the beginning. I wish there was more focus on that

[@chunkycjw]

Is FFXV the Final Fantasy game that action lovers like myself, who never got into the turn based game-play of traditional jrpg's could get in to ? Always thought that the Final Fantasy games looked awesome (since the snes/nes) but couldn't grasp the turn based combat and much preferred games like Zelda or Elder Scrolls Oblivion/Skyrim. What's FFXV like and how does the combat work ?

[@trollstheking2636]

You hold down the button to attack. And Combos are triggered automatically. Clearly this game is not for actual gamers.

[@Tearituplikewasabi]

SAME HERE! i hate turn based combat so this will be my first FF game

[@LeonA0]

haaaa. yeah sure. hold down the buton. dont try to dodge and go for back atacks and elemental / wepon weakness. maybe that will work for you on easy

[@MGsubbie]

You're not talking about Zelda as if it's an RPG series, are you?

[@GDeMo1219]

Not that great, the combat as an arpg is very basic. If I were to rate this based on combat alone I'd give it a 6/10(and this is me being generous). If you want to try out a jrpg that's real action based I'd recommend you to check out the Tales of series and the Ys series. And you might also want to keep an eye out for NieR:Automata, Tales of Berseria and Nioh. All of them are action based jrpgs coming out early next year.

[@CA-qx1mv]

For first time Final Fantasy players, I would recommend playing Final Fantasy X. It's a good mix of a battle system and a great story with awesome characters!

[@ryanbeev]

It's too hard

[@grandmarquee]

That was my first ff.

[@dutchynehtam]

Never played a FF game, but it looks kinda cool. Not sure though any thoughts?

[@thoyo]

Trent Matheny played two FFXV demos without ever having touched a FF game before. loved it, I'd highly recommend it

[@dutchynehtam]

Cause I like the idea of them going away from turn based gameplay because that was never my thing, and this seems more my style

[@thoyo]

Trent Matheny same here. only turn-based game I've beaten is pokemon as a kid

[@dutchynehtam]

exactly yeah

[@2156Charlie]

Trent Matheny There's actually a turn-based style in this game and it's called wait mode. The good thing about this game is that it has both action mode and turn based mode, so if both don't like one of the other, they can still play the game with ease.

[@TheGvidzix]

Car is fine. Chocobos are the best though. What I would say my biggest issue with the game right now is even after dlc changes, not being able to quickly use other teammate techniques without changing them in Gear tab - this one change would have been a godsend. Otherwise game is fine playing it now. edit: and yes I'm not tired of FF7 soundtrack, being able to listen other game soundtracks is very nice.
