Been a loyal fan since the early 90's and I guess I'm like one of those mega Star Wars geeks but for FF. 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.
