Among the big AAA titles that have been released these past years, few have been as divisive as Final Fantasy XV. Whether it’s for its linear second half, underdeveloped story or a number of other issues, the most vocal fans of the series considering the game directed by Hajime Tabata one of the worst entries in the series. The development team was well aware of the game’s flaws and started addressing them soon after release with several free updates and paid DLC which add more story and gameplay content. The latest additions are found in the Royal and Windows Editions of the game, which offer a mighty package for those who have completed the game after launch and haven’t come back to it since. The latter also offers an impressive visual quality, making it the definitive version of the game.

As already mentioned, one of the most glaring flaws of the original Final Fantasy XV release was its underdeveloped story and secondary characters. Noctis and his friends are often in the spotlight, making the ending sequences emotionally impactful, but many of the villains don’t get the development time they deserve, with two of them practically dying offscreen in the original release.
