That’s it! I’ve come up with a new recipehhh! Or at least, I’ve come up with another new way to play Final Fantasy XV!
Today’s launch on console is that of the mobile version that started off as a retelling of Final Fantasy XV but optimised for iOS and Android. Now though, this version has launched back on Xbox One and PS4, and for all the early adopters, features a tasty discount of up to 40% if you choose to buy the full game. That discount will last from today until 13th September. You’ll also find a Nintendo Switch edition arriving a bit later down the line.
Pocket Edition is a retelling of the main story of Final Fantasy XV but with differences more suited to mobile. The biggest change is in the graphics and art style; gone is the realistic style art style and cutting-edge graphics, replaced by an altogether ‘cuter’ affair.
Other changes include controls that were originally created for mobile phones that have now been optimised back for console and more casual gamers.
It remains largely the same game though, featuring the moments that players enjoyed in the main game such as driving the Regalia, key events and battles, chocobo riding and camping with your brothers in arms.
Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD is available to download now, and the best part is that the first chapter is completely free for those wanting to give this a try. And if you enjoy it, between now and 13th September the full game is priced at a discounted £14.99, and after that will be at its full price of £24.99.
Does this re-imagining appeal to you or are you someone that’s never tried Final Fantasy XV until now and this is the most appealing version to you? Or are you a fanboy like me that will play anything and everything slapped with a Final Fantasy logo? As always, let us know in the comments below!
