The Death of Final Fantasy XV

Final Fantasy XV drops in little over a month and Square keeps dripping information for the game. Today, we have four minute gameplay video of Noctis casting this iteration's Death spell. Death in this game works a bit differently than what we're used to seeing in the series. A purple light emerges from Noctis's hand and the enemy's health is slowly drained and converted to Noctis while it grows thin and eventually disappears. It's definitely different and seems to be more accurate than its appearances in other games with the downside being that it isn't instantaneous.
You can watch the gameplay trailer below. Final Fantasy XV hits PlayStation 4 and PC on November 29.

Jesus, the title almost gave me a heart attack!

Can you imagine it, cancelling the game right about now?

[Del Murder]

That is actually really badass.

[Saber]

Am I the only one who thinks Noctis is like Cid in Tactics?

Dude they are sword saints.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Seems kinda OP but supposed to be late game. Also who knows maybe for the demo video they have things disabled that make it look more powerful than it is?

I am hoping for more ring magic than that!

[Vermachtnis]

I love the way they go all pancake and pop.

[Pheesh]

Haha, that click bait title though.

Seriously, the title just blindsided me on this idle Tuesday. xD

The spell looks really evil. Imagine being hit by that. Usually the bad guys are the ones who simply make people "pop" into non-existence (in cutscenes, admittedly), so it's actually quite a brutal and dark attack compared to previous Death spells which were a bit more simple or even comical. Very dark. I like it, but I get the impression I'm going to feel a little bad using it on innocent animals. xD

Save it for the daemons, then

Yeah man, such a satisfying 'pop' sound! I reckon I'll be using this move a lot

I read the title and was like "WHAT?!" *click* "Ooohhh, death!". I'm liking this spell! It seems a bit overpowered but it is an end game spell, and it's optional so it's not like you have to use it. It will certainly come in handy when you're backtracking on quests and stuff. More ring magic announcements please (I heard that Toad is going to be a spell too but I'm not sure if that's been confirmed)! Also I'm loving the purple aura that the spell casts and the way the enemies physically diminish. The only thing I would say is that it seems a bit weird being able to use the spell on mechanical enemies.

I'm glad to read the responses about my thread title choice. The animation looks okay to me. I still think IX has the best animation for the spell.

[fat_moogle]

Guys, watch from about 1:40. When Noctis uses the Death Spell on the Goblin he does some evil laugh as if he's being possessed when using it. It's pretty creepy.

[Formalhaut]

Yeah, it seems overpowered but I imagine it'll be late to endgame, with possibly some other restriction like 'no EXP earned'. So it might function a bit like Warp magic.

The animation is horrific though, which suits the spell.
