Since I know it will be asked, YES I included relevant information from the anime and movie, YES the character DLCs are include, and NO I did not include the alternate endings or the events in the book (which are mainly non-canon anyway). Final Fantasy XV is one of my favorite in the series, as it arguably has done the best job of really fleshing the main cast and antagonist in such depth, that no other Final Fantasy comes close to how believably written this crew is (almost every RPG just focuses on just the main character for development, and everyone else maybe gets a sidequest or mini-arc). You FEEL the theme of Bonds. The theme of Fate is nicely handled here too, as so many times, the concept is approached as 'breaking free' of fate, and here, so many try and fail to thwart fate, mere pawns to its inevitability. Also, Hajime Tabata is at the helm of this one, so you can guess what will happen to the main character... Stellar art design, robust music (old and new tracks), and tight combat are all so well done. To be supported for 3 years after release with content is impressive too. Next RECAPitation will be: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

Why didnt Gladious ever comment that his dad died? Not to mention the whole afterlife aspect that was still left in from FFXIII-versus but not fully explained. It was clear that this game was unfinished as they had to scramble and patch up the story afterwards. Also, character development should never..ever.. be relegated to DLC.. without it the side characters were just the smart guy, strong guy and the funny guy and nothing more. I think this was just a training game for FF7 remake.

Glad to hear you’ll be including all relevant information-which I assume includes explaining the dlc episodes in chronological order. While I really did enjoy this game, I always thought that it could have been so much better but suffered due to poor execution as far as the presentation of the story. The main game alone felt like a book that had had full chapters torn out of it, and upon playing the DLC episodes as they were released, I found out where those chapters went... it still bugs me that there isn’t an option to just play the game start to finish with all of the DLC episodes just naturally woven in. Having to go back to the main menus and into a DLC menus for each individual chapter completely shatters any immersion that there could have been. For that reason, I imagine watching one of your recapitation videos with it all laid out in order would be a great way to really get a sense of how the story flows.

The story is actually really good when all put together. Square made the mistake of splicing too much into DLC, one of the most important events into a Movie, and additional character development into an anime rather than just giving one complete package right off the bat. I think this game has an undeserved negative stigma because its initial release was missing so much. Hopefully, they learn from this and make the next entry as complete as possible. Although I can safely say now that this game is deserving of the Final Fantasy title.

Honestly, I wish I would of waited to play this game. I got it soon after release and 100 percented the damn thing only to feel that the story was full of holes(didn't watch the anime movie and no dlc at that time). With all of the extra content it makes one hell of a game, but releasing it as a mess of a story isn't excusable for a game in development for that long. The game is a gem now but got totally ruined for me. Now, I'm definitely waiting for all the ff7 remake bs to come out before I play it...even if it will be several years from now.

Recapitation sounds like chopping someone's head off and sticking it back on

I love FFXV, regardless of the hell it went through during it's development cycle. The bonds and personality the main cast of 4 have is great, the setting is rather nice, and the antagonist is pretty interesting as he achieve everything he wanted by the end of the game, making it a step up to Kefka who had his godhood stolen in the final act. Main complaint though is of course the "love story" between Noctis and Lunafreya as is wasn't fleshed out and their supposed separation at a young age didn't really make it worthwhile. I also am aware of the canceled DLC, now Light Novel titled "The Dawn Of The Future", has saddened most for it not coming out in game form; however, I'm honestly fine with it not being made into a full fledge game as I find those alternate stories to be made solely for the people who can't handle the sad ending of FFXV. Sad ending doesn't make it a terrible ending, you know. If it were possible, the content could've been altered and used for a FFXV sequel, but since it was production hell just to make this initial game, a continuation probably would've made developers too scared to take on the task. Ah well, I'm content with what we got and hopefully others agree.

Not the best FF clearly but also doesn't deserve all the hate it took all these years just because some players didn't find what they wanted here.

Because i never played the DLCs (i had the royal or gold or whatever it was called edition on Xbone, just never bothered) Then we cut to the movie ... to the anime (without actually seeing them you're just lost) Just overal the story felt lackluster which is contributed in multiple ways, FF15 was FF13 versus before but got cancelled (FF13 versus looked super interesting, unfortunately it never came to pass and we got FF15) The battle system was boring, with the exception of lunafreya's brother (2nd fight when he's consumed by darkness) it's literally hold a button to win (and occasionally teleport away to regen your HP while if you have 99 potions you got 99 revives) The traveling although it looked nice overal became really dull, you don't get full control over your car, you get to say which road it'll drive on ... fun after a certain point it becomes a linear point and the marketing was about it's grand scale open world (granted in the final chapter you can return to the past and do sidequests but that's a lame way of doing it) Just overal a lackluster experience and that's amplified once you haven't watched the anime/movie or played the DLCs. Ardyn actually becomes likeable after his DLC (only seen it through here) it makes sense how he turned into how he is in the game ... unfortunately you don't know till the DLC dropped and if you played it.

I also love the Astrals (especially Ifrit + Shiva) who had actual meaning in this game, they were not just a battleforce.

FF7 is the only experience. It's an experience because it was the first to have animated scenes for summoning summons. These are what made FF7 unique among the rest because the technology caught up to the imagination. There has not been anything since the addition of animated scenes for summoning the forces of light and dark to your aide. Which means, there has been no experience to be had. Plain and simply, you missed out. You'll never know what it was like to experience a six legged horse coming from the Moon to kill your foe. You'll experience the imitations, which have zero originality, making the audience lesser for the experience.

Thanks Oni! I have been secretly waiting and hoping that FFXV would get a recap! Love this game and love your work!

Excellent video! I played XV at launch and haven’t played any of the DLC and I can’t help but feel it is the most frustrating Final Fantasy ever.

Just imagine if this game had all the open world fluff removed and told this great story in a more direct manner... this could have been one of the greatest games in the series. This video definitely makes me appreciate the game a lot more though. It almost makes me want to replay it!

Thank you a lot! ✨

Very nicely put together.

Man, I always get so emotional when I hear the story of FFXV. Now that you've lined up all the main story elements from the entire thing, it might've just become my second favorite game of all time. If everyone who disliked it took a second to realize that it's no longer meant to be a simple game, but a multimedia experience spanning across the game, OVAs, DLC, movies, anime, and other various readings, prequels, and sidestories, I just hope they realize it's a massive juggernaut of hit and must-have heavy story. Not only on the consumer's opinion, but also their souls. Thanks for this. I'm choking on my own lore-tears rn. Final Fantasy XV is the full-fledged RPG experience that should never be overlooked, and never be forgotten.

Thank you so much for this! Such an amazing summary! I just watch Kingsglaive and I really wanted to play this game but I really have no time. The movie was so good and I want to know more about Noctis, Lunafreya and Nyx.

Just replayed this game, what a great one. Really terrific gameplay- story was a bit confusing though, thanks for the vid!

Great video. Missed the Cerberus + Core and 3 King fights. (My favorite additions to Royal version)

Thanks for finally making a FF15 recapitation! I literally just recommended this 2 months ago! Thanks for all you do!

Amazing. Thank you for this awesome RECAPitation.

Amazing as always, makes me wanna play again.

It's funny how they have the Silhouettes of the old King's watching the fight and then you have to collect the weapons of the Old Kings and they reduce the number so significantly since technically there are a hundred and thirteen not counting noctis but I realize that animating and modeling 113 Kings would have been too much work and they will already delayed by like a decade

Those subtle jabs and one liners. 17:15

I've done translating your video to spanish. Great work!

Omg I have been waiting on this dude

I drove miles with Regalia. Really enjoyed this game.

I really enjoyed that thanks.

This story is absolutely beautiful, Ardyn’s really broke my heart to hear all that he’s gone through. All the side characters really do have awesome stories as well, I wish we would’ve gotten more episodes with more side characters to do deeper dives into their stories too!

Many thanks! Now it's all clear to me!

I appreciate you using Battle at the Big Bridge (:

Never played this game since I didn't have time to own a PS4 (with college, FFXIV was my game) But this is an amazing video and even though I heard the pros and cons of this game, seeing the video at least made me understand the lore behind it. Thank you for this 🙂

Damn that was good. Thanks man! My pc can't play this game. I can only watch it from reviews.

For future games I would recommend chucking the letters DLC in the bottom right or something, while you are describing events that were not part of the original game. I'm guessing it is going to become a more common thing

I really love FFXV. I know it has its issues but the potential behind it is unreal.

I really love FFXV. It was great for me. Thanks for the Video

Whoa there, thanku, i really need this...

MY man, great job. Do you know of any details of what was missed from the noctis/luna/aranea DLCs?

Easily my second favorite final fantasy soundtrack and narrative in my opinion. IX has my favorite for both. Also, keep up the stellar work on the recapitations.

Thank you so much for making this video

Wow why I've never crossed this channel before, hello your new subscribers here

Very good thanks black mage 🧙‍♂️ 🍻💯

I always get a little teary with this story.

woahhh that was sooo good!!!!

Great vid man

This FF game had so much potential with the story. They did well with the characters and their development but they cobbled the story and plot holes together with the DLC and anime. All that should have been included in the main game, even if it made it a two part game.

No cindy picture for the ending?

My sister got me this game a few years ago. I had heard people had problems with it, so I didn't get my hopes up. The gameplay, and the fact I'm not comfortable with PS4 controls lol, caused me to only play a few hours of the game. I'm now playing Theatrhythm Final Bar, and I wanted to learn more about Noctis since I used him in my party sometimes. Luckily, Oni had this up. I'm glad I know the story now, as it is very compelling to me. I wish the ending wasn't so sad. Technically it's bittersweet since Noctis and Luna got to be together in the afterlife, and Ardyn finally got to rest after 2 millenia, but it's sad that Noctis couldn't rule over the people at all, having wanted to make the world a better place with his friends/brothers. It's upsetting to me that the Astrals (is that what the 6 big guys were called) couldn't come up with a better prophecy. I mean, I thought Leviathan was bad, but Bahamut? Was there nothing better that could have happened?! Why did Ardyn have to suffer when he wanted to heal people and to do as the Astrals wanted? Instead of rewarding him, they cursed him?? And why do future generations have to suffer as a consequence of their ancestors (Somnus!)? This reminds me of the bittersweet ending of FFX. It makes me sad that Tidus had to sacrifice himself, but there was hope of him coming back in the after credit scene. And I like that though they were told that things are the way they are, they were able to break the cycle that was so heavily imposed. Here in FFXV, they didn't have a choice. What was chosen was set, and they couldn't do anything about it. I wish they could have done more... but hey, this is all from someone who hasn't played the game fully, so maybe it plays out better. Regardless, thank you, Oni, for putting this out here. You've introduced me to several FF games, and I'm thankful for that and enjoy your content 😊

I still can't believe the Royal Edition didn't come with Episode Ardyn. Glad its only $3 now though. So worth it. I haven't had this much fun with a Final Fantasy since FFX came out.

Thank you for doing this

I’ve been a fan of FF since I first played Final Fantasy on my NES. I became a fanatic when I played FF2 (IV) and FF3 (VI) on my SNES. FFIV and FFVI are still some of my most beloved games. I really didn’t think that XV was as bad as so many others seemed to think it was. For the most part I enjoyed XV and enjoyed the friendship between the four guys, although the game could have easily cut Prompto out altogether or killed him early in the narrative and wouldn’t have suffered at all for it. What really hurt XV was that people would play through the entire game and still not have much of a clue what the crap had happened. Sticking so much lore and so much of the story into other media isn’t a good idea. World of Warcraft has done the same sort of crap with most of the games expansions - you have to read yet another ridiculously crappy Christie Golden novel to understand what is happening and why. Christie Golden is as bad of a writer as the women that wrote Twilight and 50 Shades of Crap. It also felt odd that such a seemingly-large world had very little in it. Only a couple of cities, few towns, villages, outposts. Most of the world is just, well, empty. And that’s not much fun to explore. Sticking very little content in Insomnia, which looked absolutely amazing before and after its destruction, was another major misstep. Yeah they added some content to Insomnia after the release of the game, but for some people it was too little and too late. King Regis, Cid, Cor, and Luna were all screwed over and mostly ignored, and all of them seemed like fairly interesting characters at the start of the game. Another mistake. Ardyn was a wonderful villain when he was on the screen but was also way too often ignored. You don’t really have any clue why he’s the villain and what his grudge against Noctis and his bloodline is without reading the extra material or watching the cartoon movie. Another dumb mistake. I’m hoping that, one day, the game will be revisited in a remake and corrected, being made into the game that it could have been, because it could have been the greatest FF game ever made.

This video is a better story experience than playing the game and that's not good.
