Both of these are considerable annoyances for a fighting system that flows so well on its bigger brother, and even worse is the fact that your AI compatriots are more than happy to stand in areas of poison or flames until their health whittles away to nothing. The fact there’s no lock on either means that Noctis often combo strikes past enemies, flailing at midair while his combo ends. Thanks to the ability map I had extra damage should I warp strike while the polearm was my selected weapon, but so unreliable was the weapon switching I basically didn’t bother with it. You can switch between Noctis’ weapons by pressing L and R, but this is kind of hit and miss with how quickly it happens that is if it even happens at all. The main protagonists look good especially Prompto and Gladio, but the less said about Noctis’ permanent scowl and the eyes of Ardyn, Ravus and the young version of Lunafreya the better.Īnyway, combat is initiated by holding the Y button to attack, X warps to distant enemies (or close ones for a harder hit) and B dodges. Bringing the game to mobile phones and tablets meant a complete reworking of the game’s visuals giving us super-deformed versions of the characters with some rather odd results.
So strict are these cutbacks that the game loses a part of its personality while gaining charm and brevity. But still, here we sit with what is essentially the Switch’s first mainline Final Fantasy title albeit in a considerably cut down form.įinal Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition strips it’s parent software down to the ultimate bare bones, dispensing with anything considered fluff or filler and basically prodding you along a predetermined route from beginning to end. Square Enix, with their love for the visual tour de force for their flagship RPG series would never get the game to run on a machine considerably underpowered compared to the PS4 or Xbox One.
It was never going to happen was it? Nintendo’s amazing little handheld, the darling of many and the most requested machine to port to was never going to get the full fat Final Fantasy XV experience.
