More a reskin of a typical MZ production, Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire is a strategic pay-to-win that actually doesn't do a good service to the brand.
If you’re wondering just what redeeming features Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire may have, it’s mostly down to the visuals. There’s an occasional glimpse of something that does feel quite Final Fantasy-ish. Even if it’s just an animated chocobo. That makes it a teensy bit better than most other games of this ilk, but it’s a really small amount. You know when you’re trying to convince your non-mobile games playing friends that there are some good freemium games out there? This is the kind of thing they’ll throw in your face to counteract your argument. They almost have a point.
The game has a touch of Final Fantasy nostalgia here and there, but the game mechanics are blatantly reminiscent of Game of War.
This generic re-skin is dumbed down and simplified to basics, however.
Users are presented with constant full screen buy ads and permanent side banners, which is standard for pay-to-win apps. The simplification of the model - or lack of interesting distractions - seems to unfortunately spotlight the intent; to get as much of your cash as possible.
They make this obvious if they decide to uproot you from a map/kingdom you were doing well in, say Top 10, and they drop you in an older kingdom with much stronger players where you aren't top 400. That's a red flag.
DON'T download this game!!
It is run by money hungry, bullying promoting and troll allowing management, whose only reply to complaints is "We will send your request to the designers/management" AND NOTHING EVER GETS DONE!!
You are CONSTANTLY attacked by players who have stolen their parents credit cards to make themselves as powerful as possible, 10 - 50 times as powerful as you would ever be unless you are willing to pay HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO KEEP UP!!. This game is completely pay2play, and if you don't keep up with the big spenders, the game allows, albeit even encourages them, to bully you right out of it!
This game quickly becomes a build, get destroyed by bullies, rebuild, get destroyed by bullies vicious cycle, where the developers DON'T CARE AND WILL DO NOTHING!
DS81!
This is just money pit with a final fantasy skin to entice you to pay to play. The blatant commercialism is accompanied by lame graphics and frequent crashes and glitches that restarts you, surprise!, right back to the purchases page.
The lame game is overrun with what can only be described as Cyber Bullies With Credit Cards. The Realms are run by bloated Guilds that use bullying, trolling and other tyrannical tactics to run their pathetic little kingdoms. The chats are unmoderated morasses of sexual innuendo, trolling and other verbal abuses.
This game is not for your children, and you should probably avoid it yourself. Don't waste your time or your money on this loser game.
