Final Fantasy XV
When a game has been in development for 10 years, expectations begin to be built that any ordinary game simply cannot live up to. Combine this with the fact these were expectations for a mainline Final Fantasy title, and Final Fantasy XV had to really deliver. November 29 rolled around and fans around the world breathed one massive sigh of relief. Final Fantasy XV was great and its risky change to real-time combat had paid off.
Even though XV was trying some different things with its free-flowing combat system and open-world, it still managed to retain that classic Final Fantasy feel. Whether it was cruising on a Chocobo across the world, or listening to Prompto humming the victory theme at the end of a battle. Final Fantasy XV had been marketed as a Final Fantasy for newcomers and long-term fans, and it was certainly that. A magical experience from start to finish, and one of the finest gaming experiences you can pick up this year.
