Final Fantasy XV: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

''Final Fantasy XV'', its final denomination, was released for [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Xbox One]]. It has since been released on [[Windows]]. It also has a ''Pocket Edition'', an abridged version of the same story on mobile platforms and for computers running [[Windows]] 10 which is basically a streamlined game with simpler graphics and gameplay but all the story content of the more powerful original game.

It's a game with much supplementary media:

* ''Kingsglaive'': a CGI movie detailing the political machinations behind the scenes that set up the events at the end of Chapter 1 that were largely offscreen.

* ''Brotherhood'': an anime prequel to the main game covering the backstories of the main playable characters.

* ''A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV'': A spinoff side scrolling [[Beat'Em Up]] game based on King Regis in his younger days.

* ''Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire''

* ''Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV'': A [[Playstation]] VR game based on the fishing portion of the main game.

* ''Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire''

Music was composed by [[Yoko Shimomura]], the composer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Several.

** It's implied that King Regis' reluctance to surrender to Niflheim at the start of the game that he is ultimately willing to agree courtesy of the marriage of his son and Lunafreya greasing the skids caused some disgruntlement amongst his people in ''Kingsglaive'', but this is never followed up on in the game itself.

** The Imperial invasion eventually craps out, but this is an intentional invocation of the trope. {{spoiler|As they served Ardyn's purposes by that point}}. After that, they were unnecessary and became superfluous to the overarching scheme of the [[Big Bad]].

* [[Anti-Frustration Features]]: Including:

** An easy mode difficulty.

Line 59:

* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: The Japanese cover is pretty laid back and chill, with the whole "four guys on a road trip" prominently feature. The American version has them prepared for battle.

* [[Beef Gate]]: Daemons are intended as such by default, as they are far more dangerous than daytime monsters, thus meant to discourage low level players from gallivanting around the map at all hours.

* [[Big Bad]]: Early on, while the game positions [[The Emperor|Aldercapt]] as angling for the role, he is quickly usurped by his [[Evil Chancellor]] Ardyn, and the game does nothing even early on to hide the latter is [[The Man Behind The Man]].

* [[Crossover]]: Got some temporarily available DLC that did this with ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', and Noctis would also become a [[Guest Fighter]] in ''[[Tekken]]'' 7.

* [[Canis Latinicus]]: Aside from [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]s, the game loves it's use of Latin.
