Not really keen on going for a game that is only playable online... for that, I already have World of Tanks.
XIV was the online-only one. It was an MMORPG game, like XI. I try to limit myself on those games. So far, the only one I play is World of Warcraft and I tend to let my subscription lapse from time to time on that. It's just too expensive otherwise. As for FFXV, you can be offline and play it just fine (especially since I'll be playing it on PS4, which Sony has said from the very start is going to let you play games offline).

I was severely disappointed with XIII but this is massively more enjoyable, at least for me. It has its share of flaws but what it does good at is really a treat.
If you play it you'll want to watch Kingsglaive the film as it is a major part of the story that was basically cut from the game due to deadlines. The story is not as tight as others and it sucks you need to watch the film and possibly anime to grasp their tale. Also the second half is a wee, well, just play it and judge for yourself. It's not the masterpiece it could have been, but it's a step up from XIII for most players. That's not saying much but it exceeds my low expectations for XV.
It's a rough road trip worth taking. 8/10 seems fair as it can be super fun. I'm hoping now this game is finished they can work hard to refind their footing and evolve. Sadly, turnbase is dead for the series I'm sure, outside of smaller scale spinoffs, but the fighting isn't bad, IMO. I'm playing it still after 3 weeks and that open world has tons to do.
It's on sale for today so now is a good time to get it if you plan to.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to find a way to watch Kingsglaive somewhere. Maybe I can pirate it or something, I dunno. I just don't know if I want to pay an extra $20 to see the story on a game.... even if buying it while it was on sale AND actually finding a pre-owned copy AND being a gamestop member saved me about $30.
