Previously known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the title’s development expanded and evolved to take full advantage of the capabilities of next-generation platforms. While the main concept, world and story continue to be developed as originally envisioned, the First Production Development Team has further improved Final Fantasy XV’ s action, gameplay elements and graphic quality to match the technology of the next-generation hardware, as well as the expectations of players eagerly awaiting the game’s release.
Final Fantasy XV promises to bring a darker, real world tinge to the long-running series. Explore cities, take on intricate quests, and progress through a compelling storyline to save your home and the world itself.
Square Enix has teamed up with Electronic Arts and The Sims studio Maxis, to bring exclusive The Sims 4 content to Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition.
From the game’s launch day on March 6, 2018, until May 1, 2018, players who purchase Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition via Origin will unlock a unique Sim-themed outfit featuring the famous The Sims 4 Llama Suit and Plumbob for use by Noctis in the single player campaign, and for players’ avatars in Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer Expansion: Comrades.
Players who pre-order the game from Origin will also receive the bonus “FFXV Decal Selection,” containing an array of colorful decals for the Regalia car celebrating Gladiolus, Prompto, and Ignis, along with the men and women of the Kingsglaive.
Exclusive content isn’t limited to Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition players, however, as beginning March 8, 2018, those who own The Sims 4 will be able to download a special crowned prince Noctis Lucis Caelum outfit for their avatars to celebrate the launch of Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition.
Deception and treachery has shattered the promising truce that would've ended the long shadow war between the mystical kingdom of Lucis the militant empire of Niflheim. The world's last crystal is gone, taken by Niflheim agents as they launch simultaneous attacks on their neighbor nations. Noctis, Prince of Lucis, sets out to stop the empire and reclaim his home's crystal, the source of their magical power and protection. Will he and his friends be successful in their quest? What will this dark, new world reveal before the final act?
In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Lucis is to sign an armistice, ending a long and bitter conflict with Niflheim. Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.
The offer of peace, however, is no more than a ruse to lower the Lucian shield, and the imperial army takes the crown city and its sacred crystal in one fell swoop. En route to his destination, Noctis is shocked to learn that he, his father the king, and his betrothed are believed dead.
Overnight, the dream of peace has faded into a distant memory. His world crumbling around him, Noctis has naught but his resolve and his loyal companions to see him through the trials to come.
