Looks at my timezone its now been exactly five years since this game came out: Final Fantasy XV.

Still to this day one of the most divisive games I've ever played (not the only FF on that).
Five years on it is a very flawed game. Framerate issues, story was terrible (Chapter 13) and needed to be fleshing out (lore also impeded a lot of restrictions on direction like mad). most side characters were meh and a lot of other stuff. Not to mention even with heaps of DLC the game still need a lot of blitzing.
Oh and female character issues. Combat was great.....................but then a few months later Nier Automata came out and showing what it should have been like a bit.
That being said, you had some of the greatest character chemistry in the series (the Chocobros bounced off each other perfectly on the field and in combat), Lucis had a unique modern fantasy open world that really needs to be done again (and dialed up to 11), camping and food system was fun.
On the story side you had a great protagonist/antagonist and via the Royal Edition one of the best bossfight chains leading up to the end but again issues throughout.
Most importantly this was the game to get me to hype responsibly from now. Thanks for hearing my opinions. I have a lot more faith for FFXVI though.
