I just started FFXV. Only a couple hours in (and as any FF player knows, this is still essentially the tutorial) and it's already far and away better than FFXIII. And I really liked FFXIII...it may have been one long pretty corridor, but so was FFX and everyone seemed to like that one. XIII had some great moments. Anyway, XV seems to have listened to the cry for a more open world, and so far it delivers. It seems like they've blended a lot of GTA elements with the classic FF formula, but it doesn't seem like a gimmick (so far). Can't wait to see what the game has in store.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I have Journey because of Plus as well or I missed out on getting it before the month was out. One of those two things but I will double check my library and see. I need more hard drive space. It sucks having to delete stuff to make room to install a new game.
How do you feel about those little modern things in FFXV. I don't mind them but it certainly stands out and feels jarring. I'm sure I will get used to it the more I play but when one of the characters takes a cellphone call. I'm like wah? haha in my FF? it just feels strange. I have definitely gotten over having a car in the game. I played the demo so it wasn't as striking.

Yeah I loved XII. I plowed through that game and finished it up in record time.

I never played Ico, or Shadow Of The colossus but never have I played anything like this.

You should go back and try out Ico and Shadow of Colossus some day. I much prefer Ico but it feels so great to get thrown into a game and not be hand held by a tutorial in the beginning and just figure things out as you go along.
