FFXV had a rocky start, but it achieved greatness in my opinion. Every patch, update, episode and spin-off adds to the overall tapestry, and a surprisingly rich and deep lore.

The Kingsglaive movie isn't the best, but it adds some layers to the back-story. The Brotherhood short anime sets the scene nicely. The DLC episodes, except Episode Gladiolus, contribute remarkably. The final one, Episode Ardyn, is a real stand-out.

The base game on its own leaves a few things to be desired, but FFXV as a multi-faceted whole is a satisfying, moving entity.
