    Paris Games Week is another convention in the world of gaming. Why is it important? Well because it has Final Fantasy XV news of course! This time it was behind closed doors though.

    Some fans naturally leaked some info. So here we are to share that!



    Hajime Tabata was the one presenting the information and we learned a lot:


    • Fans reported that they saw wild chocobos running around.
    • They were also shown a fishing minigame. Tabata expressed he would like more minigames in the entry as he wanted to put them in Type-0 but he's focusing all his energy on XV.
    • Exploration is a big thing in this entry.
    • It's currently running on Lumonious 1.4 but will hopefully be at 2.0 by release.
    • New character Luna is shown more as well as a wig they have for her?
    • In exploration footage, that came after the video we saw from TGS, we get to see various monsters inspired by Yoshitaka Amano.




    More info should be told tomorrow at the Square Enix Live event. We may get more details and more official videos. Chocobos are in it and so is a fishing minigame! What mingames do you want to see?

      Just watched the exploration video. The graphics are amazing but it all looks so...normal. Still not a fan of the modern setting. It's a fantasy video game. You could make purple trees with stars growing from them. Why make a bunch of normal trees and rocks and paved roads and water towers and power lines? I can see that trout looking out my window every day. I liked at the very end of the video when the airship things came, but then it ended.

      I am sure there is much unrealistic landscape.

      I must admit the "Fantasy based on Reality" still disappoints me a little, but I'll judge it on the story in the end. I am still holding hope that there will be some kind of fantasy areas, though, in the other regions of the map.

      The videos are from just the stuff for the demo. That's not the whole world!

      Which is super exciting if that's the exploration in just part of it

      I believe the Kingdom of Lucis is the only truly "modern" kingdom in the world. Hopefully as we move further away from it the style of the world will become more and more fantastic.

      Yeah, from how I understand it, the kingdom Noctis and friends come from is based off our modern real world but the other kingdoms are fantasy based.

      Accordo looks pretty fantastical.



      Also there have been little overworld snippits that have more fantasy-esque things in them.



      According to Tabata and Co. what we're seeing is all from only a portion of a tenth of the world map, so that's something to keep in mind.

      1/10? That's impressive. Well now I want to know about the rest of it.

      Looks like the old vid's in the OP were taken down, so I've replaced them with the official ones now.

      SE showed direct feed versions on their Active Time Report show. Here is the link to the HQ version.

      And here is the link to a LQ version from the ATR that has subs of the dev discussion.

      What is this, Sol-Falena?

      Looking great though, starting to get pretty for XV, I want every minigame ever to be included but fishing is never unwelcome, even if none have ever matched the one in Breath of Fire III.
