Noctis' friends act as the beating heart of Final Fantasy 15. He's accompanied by three of his best friends from childhood - four warriors on a journey of world-changing significance, just like the old days. At the game's outset, Noctis is sent from his home city to take part in a political marriage that's meant to bring peace between the warring factions of Lucis and the Niflheim Empire. You take on the role of Noctis, the prince of a kingdom called Lucis. Final Fantasy 15 is ambitious in ways most games never tryДЇinal Fantasy 15 places you into its world with little fanfare or prologue. Square Enix has created a spectacle of the sort that Final Fantasy stopped being well over a decade ago - an incredible journey that's ambitious in ways most games never try, even if it's not always successful in that ambition.

And sure enough, Final Fantasy 15 wears some warts.ДЄnd yet, it's also dazzling. It's hard to imagine a project coming out of all these changes, all this time passed, unscathed. In the decade since then, the game has seen switch-ups in its scale, its platforms, most of its development team and its very core design philosophy. Originally announced a whopping 10 years ago under the name Final Fantasy Versus 13, FF15 was intended to be a spinoff featuring the same world and lore as Final Fantasy 13. It's the only type of result that would feel fitting for a game with such a lengthy and tumultuous history. Final Fantasy 15 is bombastic, strange, surprising and, often, brilliant.
