Final Fantasy XV

Final Fantasy XV is the continuation of the popular third-person action RPG set in the futuristic Final Fantasy universe and is a renamed Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The game features a new combat mechanic. You can only fight with your character, but you will have the ability to customize party members as needed.

The game's events tell the story of Noctis Lucis Caelum, the heir to the kingdom of Lucis and the possessor of eyes that can sense the death of others. His close friends call him Noct. His full name means "Night that illuminates the sky."

Final Fantasy XV is a role-playing JRPG with a well-thought-out plot, action-based combat system, and third-person perspective, released for PS4 and Xbox One on November 29, 2016, after 10 years of development. Initially announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, it was renamed in 2013. Final Fantasy XV set a new direction for the franchise and is not connected to previous games in the series.

After the release of 8th generation consoles, Final Fantasy XV was transferred to the new Luminous engine developed by Square Enix, resulting in next-generation graphics, colorful effects, natural lighting, and light and shadow play, a detailed animation system, and an open game world. The game was optimized separately for each platform.

Final Fantasy XV takes place in the fictional world of Eos, similar to modern Earth—hipster characters use gadgets and social networks, drive hypercars, and converse with artificial intelligence. However, Eos features magic, enchanted items, abilities that defy the laws of physics, and monsters—walking skeletons, dinosaurs, and giants.

The open game world is large, diverse, and memorable for its detail. All types of terrain are present: dense forests, mountains, large cities with residential and industrial areas, deserts, rivers, lakes, and beaches, all with a touch of fantasy. Towards the end of the storyline, the open world changes to corridor-type locations without beautiful landscapes and freedom of movement.

For a long time, the kingdom of Lucis and its neighbors were at war over a mysterious magical Crystal, the last remaining in Eos. To end the wars, the king of Lucis decides to arrange a political marriage with the kingdom of Tenebrae, marrying his son Noctis, the crown prince and main character of Final Fantasy XV, to Princess Lunafreya.

During the signing of the peace treaty between the kingdoms, the Crystal is unexpectedly stolen, and the empire of Niflheim attacks Lucis and captures the kingdom's capital. This sparks a global conflict throughout Eos, as other states also seek the relic. This is where the storyline begins to unfold.

Noctis and three friends embark on a journey across Eos to find the Crystal, reclaim his lost bride, punish the invading offenders, save his kingdom, and make peace with everyone. The story focuses on the main character's journey with his friends, overcoming obstacles together, and adventures.

The single-player mode is focused on exploring the game world and completing quests, with no enemies or monsters at every corner. Игрок должен прибыть на точку, чтобы запустить квест, после чего в игровом мире появляются враги. Можно отправиться туда, куда хочется, выполняя второстепенные и случайные задания, а можно двинуться по сюжету. Для перемещения игрок пользуется автомобилем.

В игре четыре основных персонажа с заранее заданными умениями:

В бою игрок использует холодное и огнестрельное оружие, магические заклинания, принимает атакующие и оборонительные стойки, занимает укрытия, уклоняется, но без сложных комбинаций. Бои больше напоминают месиво, механика боев не позволяет контролировать толпу мобов.

В зависимости от врагов и их количества приходится выбирать вооружение, тактику, экипировку, не забывая отступать для восстановления здоровья и манны. Игрок управляет только Ноктисом, отдавая приказы со-партийцам.
