Final Fantasy XV
Games Like Final Fantasy 7 Remake
After NieR: Automata, the next closest game is probably the last numbered Final Fantasy game to come out: Final Fantasy XV.
Final Fantasy XV drove the numbered titles fully into the ARPG genre and also experimented with lots of other new features as well, such as an open-world filled with side quests and dungeons to explore.
If we’re being honest, Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s combat feels like a more refined version of what is in Final Fantasy XV, so it might be hard going a little backwards in that department; that said, it’s certainly passable.
As of 2020, your best bet is to pick up a complete edition which includes all of the game’s DLC as it greatly enhances and helps the story make a lot more sense. When you put all the pieces that were originally missing at launch together, Final Fantasy 15’s story improves massively, and has some staying power.
