Fans eagerly waiting for “Final Fantasy XV” are in for some great news today. Reactions to the 15-hour demo of the game that were sent to reviewers are coming in. So far, they are painting an encouraging picture regarding the title’s prospects. It seems Square Enix has made a game worth the 10-year waiting period.
According to Polygon, everything about the game so far makes the fifteenth installment to the series “very good.” The developers seem to have made good on their promise that the title is "A Final Fantasy for Fans and First-Timers," which is the opening line of the demo.
Fans of the series will still find many of the familiar Final Fantasy tropes that they have come to know and love, but there are also some innovative additions that allow the game to compete with recent blockbusters like “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.” One of the most obvious changes for the better that Square Enix went with is throwing players right into it, which gets the story rolling at a brisk pace.
Reviewers are especially excited about the story itself, which they found was the most engaging it has been for a Final Fantasy game. The world seems more fleshed out as well making it feel more alive and makes the road trip that title protagonist Prince Noctis and his friends are on feel more essential.
Speaking of which, combat has taken a huge turn for the best, thanks to the innovative mechanics that involve teamwork. Attacks, combinations, and damage are dictated by the types of weapons used by the characters on which enemy as well.
As Gamespot notes, the demo made the world of “FFXV” an exciting prospect for players, which can also make them more interested in understanding the expanded universe of the game. These include the “Kingsglaive” movie and the “Brotherhood” anime series, which were released to give fans more background information on the game.
This doesn’t even cover all of the tiny details that all come together to make “FFXV” really special. Some of the most notable are the pictures that party member “Prompto” often takes, which can be viewed at the end of the day. Individuals in the group also often comment on random things when driving on the road, making them feel more real and relatable.
