Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae Impressions: No Fun, No Fantasy

February 15, 2016 Richard Gomez 0

Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) is a game that's been nearly a decade in the making, and we spent a little time with the demo – Episode Duscae – trying it out ourselves. The game looks great, and steeped in detail. Does the rest of the demo hold up, or does FFXV favour style over substance?
The Final Fantasy series of role-playing games (RPGs) has been around since 1987. It's seen 14 games (including two massively multiplayer online RPGs) and several spin-off games. And while that might sound like a lot for newcomers to the series to digest, it's important to note that barring certain themes and elements, each game in the mainline series features a completely different set of characters, storyline, and setting. You don't need to know the events of previous entries to be able to make sense of the story of the game you're playing.
This makes the series a less daunting prospect for many an RPG neophyte. Meanwhile, old timers who play FFXV will know that it started life ..
