My thoughts on FFXV

I finally got the platinum trophy for FFXV yesterday (a couple of weeksmonths back - it's taken me a while to get this post out) and am probably going to box up the game disk now in favour of starting Persona 5, so I figured now is as good as a time as ever to write about Final Fantasy XV.

The good:
  • I loved the chocobros
  • The music <3
  • Noctis' story
  • The fighting
The bad:
  • Not fleshing out any other character 
  • Execution of the overall story (beyond just Noctis)
  • Quests were pretty meh
  • Open-world is too empty - only a few interesting towns
As you can see, there is an equal number of good and bad points, but I'll say this right now - I loved Final Fantasy XV. It's not a perfect game, not at all, but when I say that I loved the Chocobros and Noctis' story and growth in this game, I really mean it. Do I wish they had managed to flesh out the story even more - absolutely! But let me break things down. (WARNING: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS)
