Final Fantasy XV meets, doesn’t exceed fan standards
December 12, 2016
After 10 long years, the highly anticipated RPG Final Fantasy XV was released on Nov. 29 only for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles. This is a pretty big deal considering Final Fantasy is a huge game franchise and this game will not be released to the gigantic PC community. This game comes with beautiful and breathtaking graphics, intense combat, and an amazing open world.
Final Fantasy XV does very well as an RPG. If you aren’t prepared for a ton of walking and a pretty confusing and long story then do not play this game. However, if you enjoy the adventure of wandering around fighting gigantic monsters, discovering new quests and the main aspects of an RPG, I highly recommend this game to you.
I’ve noticed that this game progressively gets weaker and weaker as the story progresses. The story and gameplay are intriguing and fun in the beginning but towards the end of the story the missions are long and I found myself getting quite bored at some points.
It felt like I was forced to finish this game. The beginning was so amazing and addictive I couldn’t stop playing. As I kept playing the gameplay got unenjoyable and the story got worse, but I kept going, hoping that maybe the gameplay will get better but it did not. It got more repetitive and anything new that came up was boring and dull. I stopped having fun. And at that point that’s when I stop playing. But for the sake of this review I finished the game. I finished and the reward for finishing the game is getting an upgrade for your car to where you can fly in it.
I am disappointed. This game had so much potential. 10 years of potential. It had so much potential in the first half of the game. I was so excited while playing this game at first and I got completely let down. It goes to show that when It comes to a video game the gameplay and the experience are what mean the most. Not just the graphics.
