Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire APK 3.25.62

After 10 years of waiting, the last product of Final Fantasy XV has finally reached the hands of fans. Launched with the slogan “Happy ending for fans”, Final Fantasy XV is the 15th installment of the popular Final Fantasy series, and each version contains a unique story. So, will Final Fantasy XV continue the success of the previous versions? Or is this the best role-playing game of the year? Let’s explore this outstanding game with me!

Intro

Ten-year is a long time for a lifetime. For games, ten-year is longer than that. That period was enough to witness how many ups and downs of a game line, the whole game industry. Some games wait after all this time, even longer than that, to see the sunlight.

In 2006, at E3 Square Enix, the giant of the Japanese gaming industry, famous for the legendary Final Fantasy series, announced a series of projects. Those are the three new Final Fantasy games that use their Crystal Tools engine for the new console.

And as an interesting association, they gave the three titles a common name: “Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy”, the Final Fantasy stories revolving around the powerful Crystal stones.

Those three games have all been released, although their paths are very different. Final Fantasy XIII released in 2009 for PS3 and Xbox 360. Final Fantasy Agito XIII renamed Final Fantasy Type-0, was released in 2011 for PSP.

And finally, the game probably went through the most arduous journey of all three, perhaps the most expected game – Final Fantasy Versus XIII, finally seeing the sunlight in 2016.

At that time, it was no longer Final Fantasy Versus XIII. It became Final Fantasy XV. So, after ten years of waiting, what do we experience with Final Fantasy XV?

Story

First, I have to confirm that I finished playing the contents of the Final Fantasy XV storyline. I had 30 hours of magnificent experience. And I definitely would not regret every minute I missed out in this game.

Building in an open world, the best thing in Final Fantasy XV is allowing players to move freely and explore the map. This makes Final Fantasy XV highly appreciated compared to previous titles.

Indeed, Final Fantasy XV introduces players to a world so beautiful, so beautiful that players can feel like they are traveling, not just as simple as before playing the game.

The beautiful world in Final Fantasy XV makes you feel “crushed” on this game the first time you play it. Unlike a game, it makes you feel like you are watching a movie.

You can run freely in the vast deserts, stretching without endpoints, or watch the beautiful ocean view from above on the passes. It is actual life in Europe. The discovery factor is given priority to make the player feel much more excited and interesting than the original experience.

The map in the game is large and hard to find the endpoint. When moving here, you can encounter giant monsters, powerful and very challenging. Not only that, but a series of hidden missions and in-game side effects are also scattered throughout the map. Discover them by yourself.

Although this is the second time element is included in a Final Fantasy game but this makes the experience of Final Fantasy XV so much more interesting.

You will need to complete the tasks in the morning to save time, while the evening of the map will become more difficult and more dangerous. It is very difficult to see the road in the dark.

Moreover, the player will have to control the car himself without being able to set Auto mode. Besides, strong monsters will also appear in the evening.

As we all know, the plot of the Final Fantasy XV revolves around the main character Noctis – the prince of the kingdom of Lucis. Lucis’ journey in the world of Final Fantasy XV takes place up to 10 years before this guy has enough power to return to regain his throne.

Because it is built in an open world, the narrative in Final Fantasy XV is open, allowing players to choose their own goals, not to force the player to follow a certain direction as in other Final Fantasy games.

Especially, players can also choose different decisions in certain situations, such as whether they can help NPCs solve their problems.

The developer added many new options and content to Final Fantasy XV to give players a more enjoyable Final Fantasy XV experience and make us temporarily forget the somewhat boring battle mechanism in the game.

To play the main storyline, players will only need to spend about 30 hours only. However, after completing the storyline, there will still be a lot of other content for players to explore. Even starting another New Game makes the experience of Final Fantasy XV much more attractive and interesting.

Features

Each game has its own unique and interesting features. Let me show you a few cool things about Final Fantasy XV!

Action-packed Gameplay

The battle system of XV is called the Active Cross Battle. Everything happens in real-time, so the tempo of the battles is intense, requiring players to manipulate quickly.

During the game, the game only allows us to control a single person – the main character Noctis, other characters all play a supporting role. Because of that, they build the entire gameplay system around Noctis and his skills.

Noctis’s battle system has two key areas: single combat accounts mostly in battles and coordination with another character. Regarding single combat, Noctis will use different weapons to attack the enemy.

In the game, there will be no need to combine multiple buttons to create complex combos. Just press and hold the attack button, Noctis will automatically deploy the combo sequence based on the weapon used.

Besides, Noctis also has a special ability that only he has – the ability to Warp Strike. Specifically, Noctis can lock on enemies, use Warp Strike to throw weapons at the enemy and immediately move immediately to it and launch a blow with high damage.

The further the distance, the more damage Warp Strike does. Also, Warp Strike can be used to help Noctis out of danger, or in certain terrains with Warp Points.

When Warp reaches that location, Noctis will automatically restore enough MP bar and increase the HP regeneration rate. Warp Strike is a useful mechanism and has a very important role in the gameplay.

Besides single combat, Noctis can also coordinate with other party members. When fighting, the 3-level energy bar on the left of the screen fills up. Noctis can use that energy to combine attacks with a certain member.

Each special move like that will cost a different amount of energy, but its advantage is high damage.

The regular weapon system of XV is simple with common weapons such as long sword, a gigantic sword, dagger, pistol, spear or shield. Noctis can equip them or give his friends stronger weapons to make the battle easier.

He can equip 4 different weapons simultaneously, including magic, and transferring weapons is very flexible and easy.

Besides these normal weapons, Noctis has its own set of 13 special weapons called “Royal Arms”. They are weapons of the past Lucis kings with special shapes, great damage and can increase the stats for Noctis.

Because of such strength, the downside of the Royal Arms is that if they use them to attack, the weapons will drain Noctis’ blood. So, people will only equip Royal Arms to increase their stats but rarely use them.

Besides, when enough Royal Arms is collected, the game unlocks a special attack for Noctis – the Armiger skill. Meanwhile, Noctis will summon all existing Royal Arms and continuously attack enemies with very nice effects.

The more Royal Arms, the higher the damage from Armiger. So, the player will be motivated to collect all 13 units.

A Mysterious and Charismatic Magical World

One element indispensable in Final Fantasy is magic, and Final Fantasy XV is no exception. However, in XV, there will be no common jobs in old Final Fantasy games such as Black Mage, White Mage or Red Mage.

The casting of magic in XV was much different when using magic without spending MP. To use magic, we will have to craft them from the materials collected in the XV world.

XV has 3 types of elemental for magic: Fire, Ice, and Thunder. Noctis will collect these elements at storage points, usually around campsites or some special places in the city.

Having enough materials, Noctis can craft spells. This aspect of the game is comfortable when you can only craft pure magic to attack but combined with items to cast spells with special abilities.

Final Fantasy XV is a JRPG game. So, collecting experience points (EXP) to level up and increase stats is indispensable.

However, like the recent Final Fantasy games, this levelling mechanism is no longer taking EXP and skill points and adding the same stats as classic RPG games.

Square Enix always knows how to refresh this old and familiar mechanism. If in FFXIII we have the Crystarium system, so in FFXV, we have the Ascension system.

In a nutshell, besides the EXP earned to level up and the stat will increase automatically, we also gain AP points to add to the Ascension system. There are many different skill frames in the Ascension system to suit each player’s style of play.

For example, those who prefer to play solo with blood will focus on Noctis alone. And those who prefer to play in the form of team-up tactics will pay attention to the skills for teamwork. There are also skills to increase HP, MP, increase attack power.

Delicate Like the Actual World

The entire world of FFXV’s Eos is very wide. Instead of forcing players to run, the game gives Noctis and friends a luxury supercar owned by the royal Lucis – Regalia supercar.

No exaggeration, sitting on Regalia occupy quite a lot of time when playing games. So many times I thought this life Noctis has nothing else to do but sit and listen to music and travel in the car.

It is also worthwhile because the development team has worked hard to create an Eos world with countless majestic and magnificent landscapes. They make the journey in Regalia car not boring at all.

Besides sitting in the car, you can also explore Eos on your own or with a Chocobo. Later in the game, the function of renting a Chocobo is unlocked.

Everyone will spend hours and hours on concrete roads or in the deep forests and wonderful Chocobo. The experience of riding a Chocobo deserves to be the most fun in the entire game.

FFXV also added some trivial things to spice up the game. These are the everyday skills or hobbies of the characters.

With a group of four main characters, Noctis has a fishing hobby. So it can be said that Noctis’s fishing scenes are FFXV mini-games.

Gladiolus’ survival skills help us pick up some useful items like Potion or Elixir. Prompto has a hobby for photography, the more he takes, the more skills he has and the more artistic the pictures are. Ignis likes to cook, FFXV has reproduced the food honestly and looks very attractive.

It is also interesting to see the characters gathering around the fire and enjoying the dishes. already.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I can say Final Fantasy XV to be a valuable experience. New gameplay, interesting and attractive. The open world is enormous, although the side quests system is not very well matched. It has beautiful pictures, eye-catching and great music.

Anyway, if I ask if I like XV or not, I will say yes. Final Fantasy XV is arguably the most addictive game in the entire Final Fantasy series.

You will not only play to clear the island but will almost feel addicted to this game. It feels like if you just need to be free, you will immediately turn on the device to play Final Fantasy XV.
