Final Fantasy XV - No Party Leader switching, Jump and Car Memes

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy XV gameplay was demonstrated at Tokyo Game Show 2014. However, Square Enix were a bit short on time during that demonstration, and so an extended version was planned to be shown by Square Enix Presents Japan.

You can watch this extended version below: (New XV gameplay at ~48:00)

The fully translated video will be uploaded soon. Until then, here is a quick summary:

– Holding Guard consumes MP. There are also actions related to guarding that require timing.
– The battle system is more like Final Fantasy Type-0 than Kingdom Hearts. The name of this battle system is “Active Cross Battle” (AXB).
– Noctis is the only controllable character (full game & demo). The decision regarding this was made last year around E3.
– Jumping has a dedicated button. Free running is also possible.
– There is challenging content in the dungeons, and Tabata doesn’t think the game will be too easy.
– Square Enix will be taking feedback after the demo.
– Tabata on the car meme – “The producer is gonna be super pissed at this. I think it’s pretty funny though.”
They have also released an official template (A and B and C) for that car meme because “if they’re gonna do it, they might as well use the best assets!”
– Another similar talk show for Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy XV is planned for November 2014.

Tabata also had a couple more videos of Final Fantasy XV on his iPad which we didn’t get to see (FF15_World_Car and FF15_World_walk).

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is planned for release on March 17 (US), Mar 19 (JP) and Mar 20 (EU). It comes with a code for Final Fantasy XV demo – Episode DUSCAE.
