'Final Fantasy 15’ Release Date & News: PC Version to be Released This Fall 2016?
Square Enix is gearing up to release "Final Fantasy 15" for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. There are also reports claiming that a PC version of the game is coming up.
Realty Today reported that gamers have filed a petition, which now has over 15,000 signatures, on Change.org urging the developer to create a PC version of the game. The rumored fall 2016 release of "Final Fantasy 15" was fueled by Square Enix's job vacancy, where they announced that they need staff to manage the upcoming game's marketing and promotion in the next 12 months.
The "Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae" demo was released in March. Subsequently, Square Enix unveiled an update to the demo that improved several features including the gameplay. VGTime, a Chinese website, interviewed "Final Fantasy 15" director Hajime Tabata and found out that a new demo might be under development, or an update to "Episode Duscae."
"About the demo version, Tabata confirmed they will launch a new demo, on the PS4 and Xbox One platforms. 'Final Fantasy 15' had been included with 'Final Fantasy Type-0 HD' launching a demo version, and the subsequent optimization of the demo version 2.0," VGTime reported, as translated by Attack of the Fanboy.
A Q&A session with lead A.I. programmer and lead designer Prasertvithyakarn Prasert also revealed that the upcoming game will could be equipped with the "gambit system" and "monster climbing," Yibada reported.
Prasert also said that he and whole team of Square Enix made a system that allows gamers to decide how Noctic's combat system style functions, the news outlet added. This also applies to handling different teams' level up and skills, much like what was presented in the gambit system of "Final Fantasy 12" but more effective and fun.
"We have created a system for 'FFXV' where the player can decide the battle style that they and their comrades use, although this takes a different form to the gambits in 'FFXII.' This will be revealed at some point in the future so look out for further information," Prasert added, as quoted in a report from RPG Fan.
Yuji Kenichiro, another lead game designer and combat planner, also revealed a new gameplay mechanic for "Final Fantasy 15."
"There is a gameplay mechanic where you can debilitate enemies by destroying parts of their anatomy and it plays an important role in battle. It is possible to make these kinds of attacks against specific areas on gigantic monsters by either striking them directly using the warp ability or by positioning yourself by the enemy's vulnerable spots using parrying actions against their attacks," Kenichiro explained, as quoted by SegmentNext.
