ByContributorFinal Fantasy XV, improbable as it may sound, feels nostalgic for me. When I was a kid, my family would take cross-country trips most summers to visit family. Air travel for a family of five would have been awfully expensive, so instead of flying we all piled into a station wagon to make the three-day drive between Texas and Michigan.

Later in the summer, we'd head out west to spend a week in the mountains at summer camp with our church group.Cow-tipping, Final Fantasy style.Through the years, I got to know those endless stretches of American interstate quite well. The way the rocky hills of north Texas would taper off into the horizon-to-horizon plains of Oklahoma and Kansas. How the flat farmlands of the western states would begin to shift into the Midwest's increasingly thick forests once you crossed the Mississippi and ventured further north and east. And most of all, how the desolate prairies of eastern New Mexico would suddenly come to an end as the Rockies burst from the ground, evergreen forests taking the place of dusty flatlands the higher your altitude grew.More than any video game I've ever played, Final Fantasy XV completely captures the feel of roaming through the middle portions of the United States. Just as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas perfectly recreated California and Nevada in miniature, FFXV has somehow managed to nail the rest of the country — the parts no one ever bothers to put into a video game.
