Well, the long wait is over! Final Fantasy XV is here!
The much anticipated new JRPG from Square Enix came out yesterday, and the reviews are rolling in.
As is typical with reviews, there is no consensus, but the overall feelings toward Final Fantasy XV are positive so far. Now it’s time for all of us to play and draw our own conclusions.
My copy actually arrived a day early, my since my PlayStation 4 didn’t arrive until yesterday, I didn’t get to play it early. I’ve played a few hours so far, and I’m enjoying it.
Of course, I haven’t done much. Just a couple of quests, some monster hunts, a bit of exploration… and of course, stopping regularly to have Ignis cook and see how much time Prompto spent taking pictures in battle instead of fighting.
Pictured: Three guys fighting.
Not pictured: Guy taking pictures instead of fighting.
(Although Ignis looks a bit like he’s dancing in that one.)
I actually really like this feature. Not only is it a great way to get photos of notable moments during the game, but it also just amuses me that Prompto is constantly snapping pictures.
The other characters even commented on how he shouldn’t be taking pictures during battle!
I also spent time fishing.
In short, I’ve barely scratched the surface of the game, but I’m looking forward to digging into the main quest and plot. After all, I enjoyed Kingsglaive.
Have you started Final Fantasy XV yet? What are your impressions so far?
