Final Fantasy XV Spotlights Game Informer's May Cover

Magazine Game Informer's May issue features a painted cover of Noctis and King Regis sitting together before a portrait of themselves in their youth and next to a dog and another painting that's oddly reminiscent of the original Final Fantasy. A snippet from the magazine describes the game's history and a glimpse of their preview.


"The Final Fantasy name holds incredible significance for role-playing fans. Even though recent installments are divisive, no one can deny the impact this series has had on the RPG genre and gaming as a whole. However significant those contributions may be, Square Enix is not content to let this franchise’s legacy remain in the past. The team behind Final Fantasy XV – led by director Hajime Tabata – recognizes the missteps in the series’ history, but is working toward a bright future. With action-focused combat, open-world technology, and a renewed focus on characters and storytelling, Square Enix is hoping to reclaim its position at the forefront of the RPG genre.

This title has been on gamers’ radar since it was first announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII a decade ago. Fans just got a flood of new information last week at the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event…but the surprises don’t stop there.

In our massive 20-page cover story, we offer an even more in-depth look at the game with exclusive new details. We spent a week in Tokyo visiting Square Enix’s offices with unprecedented access, playing the game for hours and interviewing the creative minds making it happen. We talk to the team about everything fans want to know: exploration, narrative, combat, summons, and more. Whether your enthusiasm for Final Fantasy is new, old, or even lapsed, this story is a must-read. "



Gameinformer has also put up a coverage trailer telling fans how they met the team behind the game and assuring us that they will shortly be putting up new videos of gameplay footage with also some new information about the Final Fantasy VII remake.
