Final Fantasy XV is the first game which I have played in the series. Mostly because of the first-time use of real action combat instead of turn-based combat.

Game feels amazing and has stunning graphics for it's time. Started playing this game on the PlayStation 4 but switched to PC as it was even prettier of an eye candy.

Gameplay overall feels very good, combat is solid and is quite intuitive. Usage of your party members and making combo's together is a nice addition and makes the combat feel detailed instead of stale.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of invisible walls which hinder you from REALLY exploring the world. This is most-likely done because of content which was cut during development, which was really ALOT of content.

The first 75% of the game has a really catchy story to it but once you come to the final chapters, you start to realize that the story doesn't add up. Things are misaligned or not even spoken about and suddenly.. poof you're in a situation which you don't have a clue about what is going.

A lot of the areas you visit in the game are a only a one-time-stop. Which is a shame, since a lot of the initially intended content was taking place in more different areas.

Game could've had way more potential from what I have learned by deep-diving into this game. Sad to see that there was a lot of content cut from the final game. Some say almost 60% of the full story was cut, the rest was released as the game we now know.
