Final Fantasy XV has been a long time coming, initially titled Final Fantasy XIII Versus, it disappeared for a long time before emerging out of nowhere as XV. Without an official set release date (unless rumours are to be believed, more below) we're nowhere yet as to finding out more about the game and how brilliant it is going to be. Square Enix are having a press conference entitled Uncovered: Final Fantasy VX, which we hope will bring an announcement on the game release date along with some more information on a release date.
However if rumour is believed as posted by PC Advisor [1] then the release date has been leaked and will be released on Friday 30th September 2016! This isn't too long to wait and for what it's worth, the game looks set to be absolutely incredible. I fortunately was one of the lucky ones who have been able to play the Episode: Duscae demo along with it's updates and it looks beautiful.
Now I am aware that this is only a demo (which is HUGE in file size too) and things are likely to change but from what I can tell you, it looks nothing short of amazing. The graphics are stunning as always with any entry in the Final Fantasy series and really look the part of the next gen of consoles. Pretty much everything you can see in the video below you can venture too and see the world for yourself. With this only being part of a demo also, you can expect the full game to be massive.
The only thing I'm still a little bit on the con side about is the battle system. Now I love a bit of button mashing, but when it's button mashing, mixed with awkward controls and the need for strategy, then it gets a bit much. The controls have been fixed up a little bit along with the use of Noctis powers however there is still a certain clunkiness to them that makes it more awkward. I'm definitely going to miss the turn based battles, however I do believe this is a good departure from the ATB Final Fantasy XIII system.
Personally I think the FFXII system would of worked perfectly for this game, but as they have included enemies that require towering and climbing buildings to fight, I don't it would of worked for their vision. Overall from what the demo shows, Final Fantasy looks set to only be moving onward and upward with what is going to be a beautiful game none the less.
