number 1 that defeats the purpose of a pocket edition by putting it on the home consoles, and number 2 why play the chibi version when you can play the original on the same systems? (minus the switch)

So does this game manage to tell FFXV’s story in a more compelling, or at least coherent manner, or is it just the exact same game built using inferior chibi assets?

Hum, excellent! This week I'm going to buy PSN cards to take the game.
I very much liked the normal version, why not replay with this version? It will be interesting to rediscover the game.

Because the pocket edition is a more streamilined version of the game and playing the console version of the game in no way mitigates anyone from playing the pocket edition?

Especially since most of the people who've already played the pocket edition on mobile likely already played the console version before touching the former. It's just now if you're the type that's skittish about playing games on your smartphone or tablet you can now play on a traditional gaming device.

Is this the normal game with a different art style or are there other changes like the combat or exploration being very different?

I'd rather play it with this kinda silly art style than the normal one.

I get this for underpowered consoles and mobile devices, but having it on PS4 and Xbone just seems...redundant to me. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe it cuts down on the playtime for the central plot.
