Final Fantasy XV: 9 Big Changes You Need To Know About
5. Transportation
The FF series is no stranger to providing vehicles for getting around the world, and - thankfully - it seems as if XV is continuing the trend. There's still a big change though, you'll spend a long time in the game driving around in your car. Either controllable by you or possible to put on autodrive, the car will be your mode of transportation across the vast landscape and of great importance throughout. Not a fan of the car? Square Enix have also confirmed that - thankfully - Chocobos are making a return and can be ridden in XV. So far they've been keeping quiet about whether or not series-staple airships will be appearing, but they don't seem particularly opposed to the idea. Hajime Tabata, who is the game's director, was quizzed about whether airships would make an appearance. He said:
To be completely honest, thats still to be determined.But the development team does understand that this is something everyone is looking forward to. It is a huge technical challenge; as mentioned earlier, all areas are connected. We are trying to tackle that challenge. So at the moment we cant say yes, they will be included, but we do want to and were ready to take on that challenge and see what can be done.
Dumping the car eventually in favour of a bad-ass airship? Sounds good.
