Sounds:
To say that this soundtrack is stunning, is an understatement. This game is already a masterpiece; however, the sounds and soundtrack enhance that to a whole new level. Every individual; sound adds life and realism to the game. Every song makes the journey that much more memorable.
Voice over artists did an incredible job. Every NPC has a life of its own, the brilliant voice over work coupled with the amazing facial features and expressions are key parts that made this possible.
There is so much more, however, the only way to truly appreciate this game, is simply to play it.

MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Spoilers ahead:
Final Fantasy XV is through and through a masterpiece. Every piece of this game has been carefully stitched together to ensure that we get a Final Fantasy experience we can never forget! The Open world is full of wonders, dangers and so much opportunity, it is easy to completely forget the campaign and simply get lost in all the extras that the game has to offer.
The traveling experience you build up with your comrades is more than memorable, it is the journey of a lifetime. One other aspect that is simply incredible, is the new battle system; The Active Cross. Completely new and wild. A gamble was made here and it sure as hell paid off in their favour. It really makes the whole exploration experience so much more unique, coupled with the XP grinding for the new and improved levelling system totally brings this game into a whole new tier of awe!
Take control of Noctis and journey with him as he finds himself, his courage and his will to not only stand but fight and take back all that was taken from him.
