Watch as Noctis, Ignis, Prompto, and Gladiolus attempt to cash in on a bounty by taking out a group of Flexitusks in Final Fantasy 15. Fan reaction to FFXV's revamped combat system is decidedly mixed but the video below hopes to dissuade any lingering doubts. Are you nostalgic for the old-school turn-based combat style of the Final Fantasy games of yesterday? Or do you welcome the more aggressive, Kingdom-Hearts inspired system on display in the video below?
Final Fantasy XV[b] is an upcoming open world action role-playing video game being developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and scheduled for a worldwide release on November 29, 2016. It is the fifteenth main installment in the Final Fantasy series, and shares a thematic connection with Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy, a subseries of games linked by a common mythos which includes Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Type-0. It is a major departure from previous games, providing a darker atmosphere that focuses on more realistic environments and human characters than previous entries.
The single-player action roleplaying game will be released worldwide on November 29.
