The Gamescom of 2015 is happening right now. Which mean loads of new information about all those highly anticipated video games that are coming soon.
Square Enix showed a new trailer for "Final Fantasy XV." The company has been teasing clips of the game. The clips feature four boys on a road trip through a strange and wild land.
It's your quality quest that would be boring without a couple of wild beings to defeat along the way. Or so that was the only premise for the game until now.
The trailer shown takes place fifteen years before the game. The main focus is on a father, who's holding his son while leaning back on a car. The son is asleep, so he doesn't quite notice his fathers tears or the giant creatures heading towards the city.
Really, this game is going to have one emotional father/son portion. The trailer also shows a quick peek at the city, which has an interesting mix of medieval guards and weapons along with modern cars and guns.
There still isn't a release date for "Final Fantasy XV," But Square Enix did give a summary of the game's story.
"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."
