Final Fantasy XV is Beautiful

@TylorHepnerArt The internet told me this a horrible game. I missed the memo cause I've put in over 500 hours on it lol

@TylorHepnerArt they wrong & you right for pumpin those hours in

Just want to point out that SE has not abandoned Luminous Engine. They're still actively doing R&D with Luminous and the lead of Luminous Engine Takeshi Aramaki became the head of SE's newly formed "Engine Development Division" in mid 2023 after the Luminous Production staff were merged back as SE. Plus at CEDEC 2024 Aramaki also introduced himself as being currently in charge of "directing the in-house game engine" of Square Enix, while in 2025 in an interview with Microsoft he did regarding making a documentation tool for engine development it shows that the engine was "Luminous Engine". Luminous Engine itself is being used as the foundation for what the Engine Development Division dub the "Square Enix in-house game engine", as it is an advancement of Luminous itself but only may just not be called Luminous anymore, and their entire purpose for existing is to be a company wide division providing support to each Creative Studio equally rather than only 1 team, indicating they're ramping up this new Luminous engine for company wide use as part of SE's restructure plans. Also DQ12 appears to running on Luminous Engine/the advancement of Luminous ever since its Reboot, a tell is the grass assets/vegetation being the assets internal to Luminous's level editor tool suite that was seen with Forspoken.

OH this is super interesting I had NO IDEA! Cool to know that DQ12 might be using it, thanks so much for this!

I think the fact that it's NOT Unreal Engine is also what has made it age better. We're so used to UE visuals that even with a realistic style there's a charm and touch to FF15 that's aged so well.

exactly, I think Luminous has this certain quality to its realistic visuals that make it age well, unlike a lot of realism based UE titles. Truly a marvelous engine

I swear FFXV was way ahead of its time had to %100 this game just for an excuse to explore everything it has lol

@Kingdomeco75 man this game didn't get what it deserves to ripe well I love how so ambitious it is

FFXV music always gives me chills

To be honest the world is kinda bland and underpopulated

Cette ost est magnifique et les paysages j adore 🥰

I’ve been playing 16 on the Steam Deck myself and, may I just say, after playing 15 and 7R on the PS4 it doesn’t do the graphics justice! Can’t wait to finally be able to play Rebirth when I can afford it, and 16 when it comes on the Switch 2. I blame my subpar internet.

Great video! Best game :D

40 year old game btw.

and empty

But sadly IS not god

Beautiful game but hate that it took different mediums to get the full story.

Not only is the game beautiful, but I feel like at times FfXV is almost like kingdom hearts 1 where there's a handful of attention to detail. Maybe not to the extent of kh1 but it does have some of those elements

I wanna live here!
