Meanwhile, Square Enix revealed new gameplay details for Final Fantasy XV.
Nova Crystalis reports that Square Enix has showcased new gameplay videos of Final Fantasy XV at the Paris Games week presentation.
During the presentation Tabata explained the game's new open-world exploration, night and day battles, fishing mini-game and airships. He also shared a tech demo that showcases character models, and battle gameplay.
In the video, the main character Noctis along with his crew run through the fields as viewers were able to see giant monsters with enemy designs inspired by Yoshitaka Amano. At night, the mobs become extremely dangerous and at one point in the video wild chocobos are clearly visible.
Square Enix is also working on a variety of mini-games, such as fishing. Tabata originally wanted a number of them in FF Type-0, but he’ll be pouring his energy into that for the game instead. Square Enix is also looking into adding the Japanese voice overs into the overseas version as well.
“The gameplay video from E3 2013 was cool,” said Tabata as he showed off some XV development images in a behind-the-scenes sort of video. “But we’re planning even better stuff for March 2015.”
He also showed off another tech demo focusing on newcomer Luna, whom the team created an actual wig for her hair. Currently, Final Fantasy XV is running on Luminous 1.4, but Tabata hopes to get it on the 2.0 version before its release.
Will gamers have a chance to get Final Fantasy XV in 2015 or 2016 for the PS4 and Xbox One consoles? Sound off in the comments section below.
