Final Fantasy XV: my initial impressions, hopes, and concerns

So Final Fantasy XV is finally here, after one of the longest development marathons in recent memory. It's a huge game and will take some time to properly review — so here's my take after my first ten hours on Eos.

Originally announced as a PS3-exclusive spin-off of Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XV eventually became its own fully fledged title. The development of Final Fantasy XV has seen several twists and turns, and the influence of modern WRPGs such as The Witcher 3 is undeniable.

Final Fantasy is one of the world's most revered video game brands, but it's suffered in recent years from the botched launch of the MMO Final Fantasy XIV and the punishingly linear (and often dull and incoherent) FFXIII.

Can Final Fantasy XV drag the franchise into the modern era? Can it satisfy the series' long time fans at the same time as appealing to the sensibilities of modern Western gamers? So far, it's looking likely.
