On a completely different topic, I have to conclude that Final Fantasy XV was very enjoyable.
JRPG narratives hurt me on the inside. I grew up playing JRPGs, but the past 20 years or so of these games have been painful to get through. The Valkyria Chronicles were hampered by its narrative, and it's about the only thing I don't like about Persona 5. I just can't get my head into that sort of logic-jumping, deus-ex-machine writing style.
That said, there was something compelling about Final Fantasy XV. It is bittersweet, melancholy, and sad, but there was also en effervescent joie de vivre most of the time that made it a pleasure to play. Its soundtrack is sublime, and I loved Florence + The Machine's cover of "Stand by Me," which serves as the game's opening track. Still, the narrative's dialogue sacked any character depth or connection for me, which is sad.
Also, cooking and camping? Surprisingly fun as hell, and the graphics are so realistic that I started to get hungry myself (dammit).
The game itself is beautiful, and the play control (once you get used to it) is innovative and fun. The magic system is very shallow, but the game seems calculated to be more of a 3PS adventure (like Horizon Zero Dawn or The Witcher III), where magic is mostly subordinate to play.
You should give it a whirl if you can. That you can get the soundtracks for the other FF games is a charming, added bonus.
