Perfect
Backstreets back
alright!
yes! finally I'm not the only one who thinks that noctis is sasuke's doppleganger!
I said the same thing! I was like bruh, no way it's Sasuke.
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.
Edit: I am planning on starting my next FF game soon that being FFVII remake! Thank you everyone for having a comment to look back at and brighten my day.
I needed to hear this. Thank you :)
tq bro, i will buy this moth for windows edition
I'm thinking about getting this now that the price has dropped
Courage Ekhaguere nigga you gay
Conor Mcgregor your comment is fucking random 😂gotta love trolls
I bought FFXV as a first timer and im nearly one hundred hours into the game
@@Kostadin_Arolski well me too, I finished the game in 5 days, because I play it on normal difficulty, and I have grind exp and money as much as possible, because you never knew what you are up against
master moose I finished in 16 hours I’m a full time gamer and this game was AMAZING
Just finished this game absolutely rushed game and incomplete. Not that good game but not FF worst game.
I have been playing since the first release on NES. I am amazed by how this new generation are traveling to these new worlds much the same way I did in my teens. This series will always hold a special place in my heart. No "surprise mechanics" included. Good job to the developers on a solid single player game.
Hahahahah this ffxv is very short they put everything into graphics and its looks like demo game but its the gameplay
While my characters were driving places I cleaned my house... while playing the game
Relatable
I spent the time folding my socks hahahah
Dr. Peterson would be proud.
I commend you good sir
I read.
We might do a video like 'Should You Play FFXV as a First-Time FF Player?' because a LOT of people are asking.
gameranx do it!!!! I fall into that category....

***** thank you, i love quiet as you see.
***** Have fun !
***** You're welcome.
i know that feel bro
Cooloneshack me too man
I actually think veteran Final Fantasy players might not like this, while newcomers would love it!(Just like me) :)
Beastgamer07 your a newcomer that think veterans won’t like it? What kind of dumb shi is that
@@eddieescobedo9975 bro it's the Veterans who have the most complaints about it. Also why are you replying to a 2 year old comment
Rational Excitement still a dumb thing to say and cause why not
@@eddieescobedo9975 how is it dumb if it's true and because it had nothing to add
@@eddieescobedo9975 what's with the attitude? You mad because he's right and you got caught in it?

Oof
I finished it in 15 hours
I'm 30 hours in just finishing chapter 3.

I finished in 72 hours
before i buy? too late for that.
Ken Neth same lol
Sorry. The Final Fantasy franchise is fucking dead and garbage.
ikr
ahaha same here man
Ken Neth same
Never played a Final Fantasy game
Came here to see the hype :P
Same I never had interest but I played my first Pokemon game this year so I might try my first Final Fantasy.
Dragmanguy getwrecked Luna dies
Aegis Nol This one looks Interesting, but it is not at all like other FF games. FFX is the last turn based one, FFXIII is ....um..... we don't talk about that one....
I'm one of those 90s kids that never played final fantasy
Luke Barnett actually, FFIV wasn't turn based either
This was my first final fantasy game and honestly I loved it.
Get FF7, 9, and 10 including FF12, which has a newer version called zodiac age.
Especially 7
Don't forget FF8 one of the best.
Get ff10 easier and incredible story
AGREED!
“I don’t think any game is worth waiting ten years”
Yet we’re all waiting for GTA 6
This game good ? I jus got it
I don't think anyone is actually 'waiting' for it. Does anyone actually want it? Is anyone sitting in their gamer chair right now obsessively scratching their neck being like 'i NEED GTA6!' Probably not.
@@mrbeeendiddat2024 idk I haven’t played it. I just wanted to watch the review
@@drcox012 I mean that people have been asking Rockstar games if there’s going to be a GTA 6 and they haven’t answer.when I say waiting I don’t mean it in the way you just described

I know, I'm just joking around
Troy Montana "too much food" ign
Amad Joao Nauaito I know bro . Wanna know something funny . I was watching a live stream of them reviewing the game and someone literally said he'll give it a 6/10 because it was "too open-worldest"
I just disliked the video and left
Troy Montana link? xD
If you go to Chapter 13, it feels like you're playing Resident Evil
Marly G. I said that on fb three days ago
congrats no one cares
guess what...
still no body cares
i care
I adore FF XV. It was my first FF (sad it took until I was 17 to play any). The music, characters, story, action, and creatures all enthrall me. Super underrated in the grand scheme of the series.
No. It belongs right where it is. Worst ff game ever made
Agreed with Andreas. Definitely not a good game when compared to other ones of the same series.
See. I’m in the same boat. FFXIII was my first Final Fantasy. People have shit-talked that game into the ground, even though I thought it was great. While I don’t like FFXV for a number of reasons, I respect your opinion, and can see how people can enjoy it.
Ignis: *THAT'S IT!*
Prompto: what's what?
Ignis: *I'VE COME UP WITH A NEW RECIPE*
Gladiolus: I'll taste test
Yes, me too the characters, the world and the story had me hooked.... which was FF VERSUS XIII. Not this piece of garbage that they ruined
The Whole point of final fantasy having a new story every game is meant for bringing new players into the series. This was my first ff game and I loved it.
i don't think that's why lol
Should You Play FFXV as a First-Time FF Player?'
Yes you should.
Tada Bandri thanks for clearing that up for me lol
Tada Bandri what about as a first time jrpg player. but a definitive lover of witcher and tes like rpg's
nesh319 still yes on that one. this is the best game to introduce someone to the world of jrpg and Final Fantasy in my opinion. my gf, who never played Final's game before but is a huge fan of Skyrim,Witcher etc is playing FFXV as we speak. She's loving it :)
Golden Time.
Nimble Yea u right :) xD
Now road to FF XVI coming in 2026 on PS5 x)
hopefully it never comes after this shitshow
Well it is better than fucking Star Ocean 5 and Final Fantasy Type-0
NEVER!!
you think you'll make to 2025?? you think you'll live that long??
Muahahahaha
this was my first FF game, I saw Kingslave and Brotherhood and I love everything about this game. The story and character relationships really make you feel like Noctis, at times you feel the same emotions as everyone else in the group. The antagonist is unpredictable, mysterious and a very good villan. Also chapter 13 feels like Resident Evil and it's great.
Bushido Cobra yes
"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.
Look into the ff7 remake, I think you’ll like it.
Mridul Gupta same thing with me
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.
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
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.
i really like how you review these with actual gameplay and also i really do like how you use your own personal opinion when talking about games you review, keep up the videos gameranx!
Good to hear! Some people hate opinions.
gameranx haha very true! those are also the type of people I enjoy making fun!
gameranx I love you very very very much
no its an awful idea
corey h I really like watching you through your bedroom window.........
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
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
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
Infernus X I can't wait to see what's in store
TheTrueRedDragon well said about the summons.
Syuna no I realize that. I was saying in the context of this game they work the way they are
30 hours into the game, still at Chapter 3 lol, having way too much fun doing side-quest and taking out Daemons and Imperial Paratroopers :P
I’ve gone through twice (about to be a third soon if I watch anymore videos XD ) first time I put near 100 hours.
Second time beat it in just < thirty hrs. Great flexibility to this game
Just for the combat system, I keep turning around lol !
Watching a "Before you buy" after you've already bought the game FeelsGoodMan.
already bought it. but I was waiting for this!
Ish Tolin same
Ish Tolin nice
Ish Tolin Lol, so it's a "After you buy" for you.. lol
Ish Tolin waiting to download 😤😤😤
Camron9548 how big is the download size?
Noctis is amazing. They all are. I fing love this game, inside and out its just so amazing and immersive. It probably helps that its my first FF game ever too. But it does say when you boot up the game "A Final Fantasy game for Fans and First Timers".
Jonathan Shirley same i'm in love
the chemistry between the 4 characters is simply amazing, you end up realizing that them starting with "Stand by me" is not a cheesy choice but actually the theme this game had behind it. It can tug dem heart strings.
chaoszieg i mean if you ignore what they are saying then yeah you wouldn't know shit about them, they do more stuff out of story.
I just finished it now and I really want more :(
but only the second part of the sentence is true. it is more of a gta than a ff game...
I've played most of FF games and I LOVE XV. I don't understand why people are so reluctant to accept it. It's beautiful, great story, exciting world and it has heart put into it.
Final Fantasy
Has 15 games under the same name...
*F I N A L*
folko1 there’s a history why they named the game “Final” Fantasy. You can look it up on the internet
not sure if this is a r/wooosh
And rest lol
Ongoing Fantasy would make more sense!
You're clearly new to this.
The real-time combat is a good change. It's still Final Fantasy, just Final Fantasy evolved.
***** Same dev studio who made Kingdom Hearts. Gameplay is very similar but more refined.
PunkCyber But they re not using anymore the combat system from KH 2 in KH 3 fuckin BS, that was sooo goood
its still final fantasy, just "kingdom hearts" evolved.
To big of a change and I can already tell it will upset the original fan base
Pie Pie original fan here, I love it. it's 2016, a turn based combat system wouldn't work with the scope of this game. it works perfectly
I'm a big Kingdom Hearts fan, so this will probably be the first FF game that I can actually get into. I don't like turn-based combat for these kinds of RGPs (excluding pokemon). But I do think I'll like this a lot, even though I'm not a FF fan.
NextGenBrandon This is practically everyone lol. We never cared about final fantasy because of turned base . But because it's similarity with kingdom hearts we wanna give it a try
Exactly!
NextGenBrandon I'm waiting for kingdom hearts 3 should I get this game to keep me busy is it good?
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!
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
"Why I'm diggin' it?".......Chocobos man, it's all about the chocobos

@@tylerhill6733 it's dope bro. Highly recommend even as a first time player
Me
@@misterking761 if you decide to get it. In my opinion it's worth every second. The mix of gameplay with story make me wish this win GOTY. Already logged more than 15 hours in 2 days. Have a good day sir and fellow man of culture 🙏💯
@@UbiquitousLA I downloaded it last night, and the first ff game I've ever played.
It's better than I expected!
I like the game, its pretty addicting, but I really dislike the fact that a lot of the time I spend on the game is walking or driving from place to place, occasionally there's times where I'm walking with no interaction with the world whatsoever for quite some distances. Its like, what's the point in open world if the world is so empty?
xMagicalDanny True I got some mgsv vibes from that. :/
So its boring when driving and walking for 90% of the game? How is this a good game?
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
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. This game didn't take 10 years to make, it took 10 years for some goons to figure out a sub-par story line and throw it together in the last 2.
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.
I'm digging it! 5 hours into the game, and I'm level 14 and the Main quest is still only level 8 because I've been doing so much side activities. Can't wait till I can get Chocobos!
Rena Ryugu your mom's a chocobo
:))
Jeff Bays shrekt
Chocobos are awesome it'll be really useful in some missions i played it for more than 14 hours its hard because im not doing side missions so the enemies have higher level than i am
Lol u rekt the poor anime kid
Really love this channel, I find myself using these reviews over the ign reviews to decide what games to get
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
I have over 30 hours on this game and I'm only on chapter 4. I played the episode duscae demo for over 60...Just that small little map I was hooked for so long. This game is amazing hands down one of the best and most gorgeous games I have ever played. ❤️
Im about 12 hours in and am loving it as well. Having a blast.
The only definitely "bad" thing about this game is chapter 13.
+Count Artorias oh yea angry Joe was just on it. Death claw screwing you?
so good you change your profile pic to it.
Just wish PC could get its hands on it....
Final Fantasy 15 in a nutshell: Hey you can listen to all Final Fantasy soundtracks in the car!!!
And be an animal/pest control worker!
Invest you can do so on foot aswell. even during dungeons, makes it alot more epic
no no no no, thats not Final Fantasy 15 in a nutshell.
This one is: Emo Fair 2016, Sauske Update, Driving Simulator Edition
I've watched multiple "Reviews" for this game and this video is by far my favorite! Thank you for taking all the time to make such a great quality review! I love your reviewing style and your voice!
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
25 hours into the game... and it's absolutely incredible.
Sure, my first game was a handful of "earlier" games like Nathan Drake collection, bloodborne, blops 3 (came with my ps4), last of us remastered, and killzone shadow fall. The ps4 has a lot of good games that youm can't get anywhere else, even if you own a gaming pc. IMO playstation 3/4/wiiu/3ds and a gaming pc is the best combo for gaming.
5 hours into the game and bored out of my mind. I haven't played it sense. People seem to have a very low bar on what fun means... cuz walking and driving doing nothing is pretty lame.
+Bob Dole the driving around are the breaks you need so you dont burn out, its pretty genius. When driving in the game you can do whatever you need to do then head back to the game. it also gets you Ap. You can also fast travel to towns by choosing auto then map location and picking the town markers to shorten the time
I think i want to hate this game more then like though i haven't played it. FF7,8, and 9 are among my top favorite games of all time and I have played all the newer ones and utterly hated them. 10 was okay, the rest absolute disappointment. I can't connect to the characters and really dislike all the battle systems, now its not even turn based anymore. NOT A FF GAME ANYMORE
Joshua Colantuono Eh, ain't nothing wrong with action rpg though. Just because it isn't a turn base game it is no longer an FF game? What exactly is Final fantasy? FF is just a fantasy story game set in similar worlds. I say that FFXV is exactly what an FF game is supposed to be. I've always imagined what it would be like to play final fantasy with great graphics as well as run around the world and explore. FFXV is exactly that. Plus it's fun
think of driving wait as loading time. it's quite clever honestly.
the only real loading is for cutscenes (sometimes) and chapter beginnings
vaajchang how is the driving a loading time ? Keep in mind you can everything from great distances without any texture drops . You can see enemies from a mile away sometimes
Also you can Fast travel to places you visited anyway. So the driving is not that big of a deal.
MeldinX2 but sometimes the fast travel loading screen is longer than driving
TheOutBack Pandas
True. If you are trying to fast travel to a spot really close to where you are already. But if you are really far away from your destination then fast travel is nice.
This game is amazing, I love it so much. The teamwork between the characters is like nothing I’ve ever seen, it’s simply amazing.
Prompto is my fave character
This was the first FF game I have ever played. I really enjoyed it, just wasn't as big as I expected and didn't have enough exploration. It was a solid game though, genuinely liked the characters. When I first summoned I was like WTF 😂 it was amazing.
I'm so happy . This game is getting so many good reviews and people (new to series) are LOVING IT! I'm so happy for Square 💪🏿💯
Troy Montana Of course it's getting good reviews,I played it and it's so addicting!!
Troy Montana I think FFXV looks so cool, I would love to get it, but i think itll be so confusing cuz i know nothinh, should i get it?
Bombed Videos I think you should watch the movie first . If you don't like the story , don't get it . If it catches your attention . Definitely get . The combo is smooth and it can catch on immediately and it's dedicated to new comers
ikr
I never played final fantasy do you recommend it?
Japanese games do a lot of things well, subtlety is not one
Very very true!
leroy shabkebab ?
Um, no game does subtlety like Silent Hill 2.
Uh, Fatal Frame, Zelda, Dark Souls.
I can go on and on, man.
yea with the amount of creativity in japanese games they can do anything really. from horror to adventure, from shooters to date sim lol.
This game is actually what got me mega into the Final Fantasy franchise. My favorite parts about it were the characters, the bonds they had with each other, their animations together. They really felt like people. The music is so good too, that's another thing I tend to really appreciate. Now I'm on a journey to buy and play most of the Final Fantasy games.
How is the combat of this game? I saw alot of players commenting about it being a single button mashing is that the truth?
@@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.
@@Wulfsguy7039 thanks for your answer :)
@@yass3425 Thank you for thanking me, Happy to help!
It’s 2019 and I’ve had the game for a long time and never finished it even tho I liked it I just got so sidetracked
It was my first Final Fantasy
AK Lol same 😂 I’m here cause I’m about to get back into it again.
It's so easy to get distracted by the side quests!
AK I was hooked from the first time I played it. I loved it back when I played it, I might re play it some day
The game isn't worth playing. The story is shit, the gameplay is also shit, and the quest are shit too. Go play Nier Automata instead

Chaotic Sniper6 indeed
This is gonna be my first in the series :D
Gizmo aP you should try more of the classics
Gizmo aP virgin
Gizmo aP ff 9. Underrated final fantasy imo
you should go get a good game
Start with 4, then 6 and 7, probably 5 or 1 if you want then you can play any other game in the series.
I bought this game the other day as it was cheap and I'd never seen anything about it or heard about it until seeing it in this charity shop, I got home and downloaded it and played it straight away, I am enjoying this game so much and I don't see anything wrong with it. It's fun and challenging which makes me want to play it more
Same here man I just got it at the store for 5 dollars since everything else was sold out and the dude told me it sucked but I honestly couldn't give one shit. I haven't played a final fantasy game other than 7(but I don't remember the story) and 13 but I like 15's combat so far so I'm having fun
I just got the Royal Edition for $20.
👍👍👍
Jared Gross I love the game hope you do too
Congrats for buying my game
Psy Duck Having a lot of fun with it!
Same
I love the concept art on the metal casing!
I love this game honestly. Everyone is complaining about it, but I love it a lot
It's a great game people just like to complain for no reason yet still play the game lol
What is there to complain about exactly? I can relate to Noctis more then any character I had played or seen.
You should go play Nier Automata! You'll see how thrashy xv is compared to that
@@gdragonismygodthis is so late but coming from someone who just started ffxv and has nier automata as one of my favourite games of all time they are nowhere near comparable?? Aside from the fact they are both jrpgs
me: Dad,, there's a new game i want to play
dad: go buy it,,, what is it ?
me : final fantasy xv
dad : how much is it ?
me: around 700$
dad : OMG,, why it so expensive ?
me: because it takes 10 years to made it!
dad : ok then,, just dont buy anything else beside this game ok ?
me: *grin*
buy ps4 and the game
Chef Samuel EVIL!!! YOU LIED!
Chef Samuel thats $460, not $700. Hope this isn't real.
Voeris plus tax maybe lol
hope this is fake otherwise your dad is really stupid... can you adopt me? :D
Chef Samuel being this cringy should be a crime
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.
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.
The only thing i hate is how poorly Lunafreya is presented, she had so much potential yet they wasted it thx to the movie in which shes not even that great...
wtf, GREAT? She's a fukin oracle, what else is she supposed to do besides awaken the Eons for Noctis? What the ACTUAL FUCK!>
mrtoolegittoquit2 i didnt mean it that way xD shes not great in the movie, however the few scenes she got in the game were good but she didnt even had the chance to shine alot....they just killed her lol
There are other kind of roles a female character can play than an flat 2 dimensional "oracle". I mean look at Aerith and Yuna.
Hesus exactly she dies in a very bleh way and then showed her at the end like it was a wow factor lol it didnt work for me, other than that the game is amazing.
They are debating on having Luna be a DLC character to get more out of her due to high demands from the player base for her and to know her more. We will havee to wait and see how that goes. :x
I really like it and it's my first FF
Thomas Van Tendeloo u should try the old ones too :)
Jack Sparrow I probably will at some point
Only if you like turn based games you should try them, personally I recommend ff12
Jeney Puig 12 was a great one
I would recommend Finally Fantasy X, or VIII, both of them are so well crafted and special!
So I never played a Final Fantasy game but did play a demo of VIII as a kid.
I'm big on Kingdom Hearts though would you recommend this game for me?
Lol stop trolling
NOOOOOO!!!!!!
Thanks for the video. I'm new to the series, so it's helpful to get some background on this epic series
this is my first final fantasy wish me luck!!!
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.
Coolguy played em all man, 1-XV, your gonna love it!
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...
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.
bladewolf VII you must hate dark souls series
bladewolf VII - No, you just don't like these kinds of games. FFXV is an open-world filled with side-quests, where you go on road trips to slay monsters and find treasure, nothing else. If you want a super long story, play FFXIII or FF3.
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
bladewolf VII That's why Naughty Dog is one of my favorite game developers
bladewolf VII i
Who else still hasn't fully decided about buying this game?
Its free with ps+
You mentioned watching an anime? What are they and in which order do you suggest watching/playing all these?
Being a hardcore ff fan, this looks like ff7 on steroids in terms of edginess. I'm surprised how they don't do the Naruto run
They look "edgy" but they don't really act "edgy", if that matters. I forgot about the word while playing.
how was ff7 the most edgy, surely that title goes to 8
yes.
MIK REACTS how do they look edgy?
Whats edgy?
It DOES look more enjoyable than ff13 at least
KnightCrown it does, did 8 hour game and only realise the sun is already when my mom told me. It felt like 30 min.
ProtozTer Now that is what I miss from most of the games nowadays. A lot of games nowadays are not able to suck you in and make you feel immersed. KHIII better not be a letdown "s, hold me, I'm scared
Daniel Vaughan really bro ? When did Kingdom Hearts ever let us down ?
Troy Montana Kingdom Hearts has never let me down personally. KHI I beat it, maxed out my munny at 99999999, hit level 100, obtained everything in the game, got every item in the game, beat all the bonus and hidden bosses, and cried when Kairi went away in the end. KHII I beat Sephiroth at level 56, not easy at all but I wanted to take that sucker down. I just hope KHIII keeps the trend of amazing storytelling, gameplay, and does not let us down due to how much it hyped us up ya know?

Just started playing it a few days ago and it’s really good. I usually struggle to get into JRPG’s cause from my experience they’re always so slow to start. This game was just fun from the jump. It feels like I’m playing in an anime which is a cool vibe too.
First final fantasy game i ever played, bought because i loved kingdom hearts 3 fighting style, and these are similar. Love these games.
Noctis is the least stuck up and selfish prince i've seen in a video game. I mean, he took the blame for Gladios little sister. That is not selfish
And wait: even The ff13 soundtracks, because those track were bomb as fuck
Yeah, loving cruisin' with my bros listening to Sabers Edge :D
heard you can buy a music box for 100 gil and listen to whatever you have anywhere
I am so rocking blinded by light 24/7
Itai Sprachman Ok cool, was wondering how to listen to shit out of the car (was added in that Day 1 Patch but couldn't figure out how to get it to work, I'll keep an eye out at the stores)
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.
SharkBait Gaming and DLC stories for the bros
Love to drive around listening to FFVII Music Its Awesome!
I would have agreed totally at one point. Hell, I would have rated it a 10/10, I'm just a huge FF fan.
But then I got further into the game. Now, having finished... I'm very conflicted. But it certainly isn't a 10/10 for me.
sounds shitty
I really enjoyed this game. I love Final Fantasy, it's what got me into video games (though I'm more into action JRPGs, than turn-based ones), and I love VII, like everybody else.
XV was just amazing.
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
Thank you for this video, I was contemplating purchasing this game with it on sale and this has motivated me to pull the trigger. Thank you :)
i've never clicked so fast on a video
woah, thanks.
gameranx sup
I never thumbs upped a comment so fast
Just subscribed, very informative thanks for the information.
Promto reminds me of Zell from 8 my favorite character. and the driving really dissapionted me but I got use to it. and you don't always have to hold the attack button I hit it repeatedly.
just started playing this in 2021 i fucking love it
I want it genuinely because Kingdom Hearts 3 isnt out yet.
Zeke Ruff are you getting 2.8 and the 1.5 and 2.5 remaster next year ?
Troy Montana fuck yeah man but only 2.5 and 2.8. but even then march is lowkey far ya know?
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
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?
Loansome wait for the ps4
Why does no one ever turn on the stamina bar? You can refresh your sprint by pressing L3 when it's about to run out and it's so helpful and I see no one doing it hahaha
I didn't know that lmao
I knew how to turn on the bar but not the l3 thing
because the game fails to tell you that you can do that (unless i missed a tutorial hint). you need to buy the guide for that info.
or find that on your own randomly xD
Mushu Damaschin like i did :D
I'm going to give it a try
👍🏼
Awesome, I got the pocket edition and now I might try this version.
Thank you
Great review!
+HappyConsoleGamer thank you sir!
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
Mark Evans well I heard they are working on a story dlc that will be free.
Dante Vic That's gonna add cutscenes and other things also the ring will be powered up.
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
if this is not good what is
COD IW
Noob101 graphics wasn't that good and lots of glitches
dylan yaj go outside and play there you fat bitch
bruce banner ha loser
dylan yaj I will be your step dad. You know that would be good for me
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.
you are completely wrong about first time players. This game appeals to first timers not to old fans of the series. in fact, players who experianced the originals when they came out are much less likely to enjoy this one.
This is true. Many vets of the series don't care for this one because it is sooooooo different than what they are accustom to. It honestly feels and even looks like a different game. Which I guess can be either good or bad? 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.
Yep, I see alot of first time players calling it the best in the series lol
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.
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.
Never played a FF game, but it looks kinda cool. Not sure though any thoughts?
Trent Matheny played two FFXV demos without ever having touched a FF game before. loved it, I'd highly recommend it
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
Trent Matheny same here. only turn-based game I've beaten is pokemon as a kid
exactly yeah
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.
This game is sick
Certainly one of the worst final fantasy. The game is nice, I admit it. But please, come on, it's like presenting "Final GTA fantasy" :-)
the new combat system gets stale fast though, hold one button and occasionally press another is pretty boring, FF needs to go back to turn based
combat system was amazing?......smashing one button all the time.......was easy...too easy but teleporting was cool.....story was.......what story?.........A remake of FF 5/6 in that graphic would have the gaming world explode!
***** itl never be seen sadly, 15 is good, but its no where near as good as people are making it out to be, 13 is still a better game imo, better characters and story, i still wish FF would go back to turn based battle system
Nowi-chan kh s fighting system is just wayyyy better than the battlesystem in ffxv, especially kh2 that fighting system is just non top able.
This is cathartic to watch when reminiscing about my first play-through
My 14 year old cousin loves this game. She never played video games before, since my Aunt sort’ve believes against video games but my uncle likes the idea of my cousin checking out video games. Her favourite character is Prompto.
Never played an FF game before. It does seem appealing should I buy it or not?
go buy
SuperFireTower Buy it there is nothing you can complain about it espically when you get into it
Buy Buy Buy!
buy this!
Definitely.
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!"
Zionboy17 Totally see your point lol
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.
Zionboy17 By the way, that dungeon is evil... lol
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.
felt the setting wasn't my style. last ff game i played was 12. luckily its getting remastered next year
Like some other people have said, this game is great even for first time players. Some of the mechanics I am definitely not used to, but you can pick them up quick and once you do, it's really satisfying when you do well in combat (i.e. beat a 29 monster at level 7). Especially if you have Game Pass I highly recommend this game.
I’m playing this currently, and I’m having a hard time enjoying and fully understand most of the combat. But I’ve found a few boss fights kinda fun. Praying it get better as it goes on though
Final Fantasy 15? What's next? *Kingdom Hearts 3*? Cmon Square Enix please.
ǝɯǝɯ ʎɔıds YES PLS.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
llazy77 KH3 is coming first im pretty sure
I don't see FF7R coming till at least 2019. I'm talking the first part, not the entire thing.
There's no chance it releases 2017 for the 20th anniversary unless they are doing a Bethesda, which is the complete opposite to their XV approach.
the story isn't properly fleshed out and super jumpy. characters are completely forgotten and a lot of important events happen off screen. the game feels unfinished because of this.
Why have a completely fleshed out story when you can leave chucks of it out and charge people for it as DLC? That's why the quality of older games were so good. The main focused back then was creating the best game not the best way to get the most money out of the game.
esnips123123 da fuq how is that this game gets so much hate ? If it feels unfinished than maybe its because u didn't watch brotherhood or kingsglaive. And no this isn't just lazy storytelling because only the attack on lucis was cut of because of kingsglaive. I don't get it they worked 10 hard years, deleting and reinventing there game and the one thing the community says is: Its not like the other FF i don't like it, it has different kind of storytelling its not good enough for me. Me as a normal dude who has no idea of good game design can call this crab" u know at a battlefield or cod or even AC i could totally understand it because they try to do the same lame shit every year. But FF ? It is a different story every time and it has different story telling every time... And the ending ? It is so good and dramatic that its like one of the best endings ever. Just because it doesn't answer all question that are asked throughout the game. I don't get it... Why would they work 10 years and then say "fuck it... 10 years are enough lets get them this shitshow" it doesn't make any sense.
Theshadowclaw3000 Simple it's called DLC. Why complete the story when you can leave bits and pieces of it out and charge people extra for what should have been in the game.
+Cyrus Wu thank you, that's the hands down worst part of this game.. the nonsensical story.
+Theshadowclaw3000 why should we rely on external sources to understand the context of game ? that's stupid, and equivalent to the grimoire cards in destiny. while Kingsglaive and Brotherhood are good in their own right, it doesn't excuse the fact that the in game story of XV is terribly underwhelming and in-cohesive.
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
Will you be doing the video on the latest PC release also?
That would be nice.
JRPG only one that comes to mind is Dragons Dogma. Never played a FF game before
I play about 27 hours a day, is this game for me?
Not with that attitude it's not.
sleep is for the weak
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
DefyLogicc Really?
a day only has 24 hours tho
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 .
I recommend VII and XII
Important question
If I have just the regular ffxv downloaded and got the royal edition, will I lose every progress I’ve done? (Talking about discs btw like let’s say I have ffxv on disc and bought the royal edition on disc also, if I loaded the royal edition in my PS4, will the dlc be available to add on my ffxv that I already have and the progress will not be affected?)
(Planning to give my regular ffxv to my friend btw and I was thinking to buy the royal edition for myself)
