The car – known as the Regalia – in Final Fantasy XV is a pretty big deal. Not only does it represent the bond between Noctis and his father, but it’s also one of the main forms of transportation throughout the events of the game. Later on, it can even fly provided the player meets certain conditions.

Speaking with Game Informer, director Hajime Tabata shared some new details on the car and how you’ll be able to make it airborne. “The player will obtain the flying Regalia near the end of the game as an additional challenge,” Tabata explained. “When certain conditions are met, the car is remodeled to the flying model.” Players will have to do a bit of leg-work before they get their hands on this particular game mode – but even then, controlling the thing doesn’t sound easy.

Previously Tabata had been mum on airship implementation, often citing time and potential DLC reasons it might show up later. “Our intent was always to implement it into the final game, while keeping the option of releasing it as DLC if the quality couldn’t be met on time,” Tabata said. “We are currently making good progress, and we determined that it can be implemented into the final game. We wanted to make that commitment in front of the fans who were at the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event.”

For Tabata, the Regalia was the only way the team thought about flight in FFXV. Although some fans may prefer the traditional Final Fantasy airship, he feels the car’s importance in the main story makes it a perfect partner in the skies as well. Don’t expect any other transformations, however. Tabata says there’s currently no plans for the car to turn into anything else.
