was about to post that haha, the preview is great:
"I didn't expect to like Final Fantasy XV. Imagine my surprise when, about 12 hours into the game, I realized I kind of love it."
"
FFXV's world, so far as I've seen, comes off as thoughtfully designed, with many environmental elements that underscore the story... provided you know what to look for."
"Final Fantasy XV feels nostalgic..."
"And I've still only seen a small percentage of the overall game world, and completed an even smaller fraction of its quests and story. And that's OK by me.
I haven't been hooked by a game world like this in a long, long time, and I'm more than happy to take this experience slowly and savor it."

"The dialogue between the characters is a bit cheesy and light-hearted, and it's easy to take a liking to them even if they initially feel a little too thin and stereotypical.
After a few hours they have definitely grown on us, and their personal stories and agendas come across as interesting. The game's narrative generally seems to take off after the initial slightly unfocused intro, and now we're really looking forward to taking on the final game in about a month."
"The variation in terms of the environments was absolutely stunning (in the parts we got to test)."
"
Final Fantasy XV looks to be an epic adventure that will take hours and hours to play through to completion. The opening might borrow a few too many generic MMORPG elements, and it remains to be seen if this improves further in. Noctis and the gang are a lovely group of characters and if you're intrigued by their very Japanese framing you will quickly grow attached to them.
The world, their surroundings, the music and the atmosphere, it's all brilliant from the very beginning and it looks like this may be the game that will bring Final Fantasy back for real, and if that's the case it's not a minute too soon."
one month guys, one month...
