Final Fantasy XV: Real-Time Combat System Preview Revealed, Final Fantasy 15 Release Date, Plot, and Game Play Updates

The fifteenth installment of Final Fantasy departs from the previous concepts as it introduces a totally new storyline, environment and characters. The characters here are more realistic than the previous ones, and the environment is darker while having no connection to any of the other Final Fantasy game series.

Just recently, the Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata and crew showed a preview of the game's combat system real-time, and it surely captures the difference between the latest Final Fantasy game and its predecessors.

The new RPG game play includes a third-person shooter, and the game's combat system is called the Active Cross Battle System. Players who are familiar with the "Kingdom Hearts" series and "Final Fantasy Type-0" have already seen this type of combat system, and thanks to the next-gen consoles, the graphics of the upcoming game battles are bigger and more dynamic.

Plot wise, Final Fantasy 15 incorporates the "Fabula Nova Crystallis" mythology, previously known from the Final Fantasy 13 game, but as mentioned earlier, the story of the upcoming Final Fantasy stands unique from the rest of the game series.

The main character, Noctis Lucis Caelum, is a prince of a royal family that protects the last remaining crystal in the world, and the family also rules a technologically advanced city-state. The game's plot revolves around a nation driven to capture the crystal.

The release date of the upcoming Final Fantasy 15 remains a speculation, including a possible early 2015 release.

Final Fantasy 15 will be available for consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
