In the video players will notice that Noctis and his friends are carrying flashlights in the cave because its hard to see inside, and the are is very wide and deep. Players will also encounter enemy monsters in caves such as the goblins and they often roam in packs.
Final Fantasy director Hajime Tabata has cited new details about "Final Fantasy XV." As International Business Times reported, Tabata has disabled the PlayStation 4’s Share Play functionality; however, players can still record gameplay videos through the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
Dual Shockers further adds that players will not be able to utilize all of their abilities with a single weapon as each weapon in the game has a specific function and set of skills. Square Enix decided that they should keep the weapons very basic in order to garner feedback from the players after playing the "FFXV" demo.
During combat, players can consumer MP (magic points) when blocking an attack and they must consume items to keep their guard up in the game, athough, skilled players can make use of time button parries to consume less MP when guarding. Tabata adds that enemies can attack in full 360 degrees and there are no armor, items, and accessories in the demo version, but they will be included in the full game.
IBT reports that level cap in the "FFXV" demo is up to 99 although won't need to do that just to enjoy the demo as Square Enix is still trying to decide the level cap in the full game. The car that Noctis and his friends are driving in the game will not be availble in the demo but Sqaure Enix will include this in the full version, and adds that other means of transportation are also present like the Chocobos.
There are also rumors that "Final Fantasy XV" will have four summons. YouTube user name "Asleep in the Fantasy" theorized the possible summons in the game - Leviathan, Ifrit, Bahamut, and Fenrir.
Hajime Tabata stated before that "Final Fantasy XV" is 60 percent complete during an interview with IGN.
“It’s about 60% now. People may look at that and say ‘well, you’ve only done five more percent!’ [since 55% in September] but it’s actually a lot more complicated than that,” Tabata said to IGN. “I think we’re looking at a much faster development in the near future.
Square Enix also made a business partnership with Taiwanese company XPEC as they have provided them with the technology and equipment for the game's development.
"Episode: Duscaue" will be included in "Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" game and it will launch on March 19 for PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
