'Final Fantasy XV' release date news update 2016: New trailer teases Amazon exclusives; PC port will take a while
A new trailer for "Final Fantasy XV" has been released. Titled "Amazon RoadTrip," the video focuses on the pre-order exclusives offered by retailer Amazon.
The trailer shows a little bit of "Final Fantasy XV" gameplay and announces a road trip-style challenge where players who pre-ordered the game from Amazon can participate.
Every week for three weeks, players will have a trial to complete. The first week will be about Reapertail Battle while the second week is Cast A Line, which involves whipping up a meal. The third one is Boss Fight.
As for the pre-order goodies that come with the "Final Fantasy XV" from Amazon, players are looking at the Golden Chocobo Regalia, the Blazefire Saber from "Final Fantasy XIII," the Mage Mashers from "Final Fantasy IX," and Gae Bolg straight from "Final Fantasy XIV."
The official description for the "Final Fantasy XV" road trip is as follows:
Join Noctis and his crew on an epic journey with the FINAL FANTASY XV Road Trip. Fight, fish, and cast epic summons to take down ferocious enemies. It's your chance to get into the world of FINAL FANTASY XV before anyone else.
"Final Fantasy XV" is set for release next month on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It will also be playable to the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro complete with high-dynamic-range (HDR) display quality.
A version for the personal computer (PC) is expected although game director Hajime Tabata warned that it will be long ways off.
"On the hypothesis, not talking about something real, just an idea, if we worked on a PC version what I have very clear is that we would work to provide a better version of what we have now on consoles," Tabata told Vida Extra as translated by WCCFTech.
"We could say that something like this would take us more than a year. We should work to adapt the engine, which is very laborious, and from there to develop its course," he added.
He also teased a PlayStation Virtual Reality "Final Fantasy XV" downloadable content (DLC) is being planned.
"Final Fantasy XV" will be available Nov. 29.
