An endlessly expanding world, a world you can go to endlessly: The game employs an "open world" format that allows you to freely move around, explore, and conquer a vast world. The situation in the world changes in real time as time passes and the weather changes. Cityscapes filled with the sounds of laughter, grasslands filled with birds, lush forests, deep, dark caves... Traveling to your destination and exploring the world are all left to the player's will.
A first for the FF series: Exhilarating action battles: "Shift" lets you fire your weapon and instantly teleport to the location of the stab. Simple controls allow for exhilarating action, such as moving to a high place and then diving to target enemies on the ground. Furthermore, "Weapon Summoning" lets you switch between various weapons in real time, spectacular "Cooperative Attacks" with party members, "Magic" that is affected by weather and terrain, and "Summoning" that summons great beings, all of these exciting battles will take FF to a new level.
A tale of fathers and sons, and of a king: The young prince Noctis embarks on a journey to restore his kingdom, which was destroyed by the betrayal of the empire. The bond between his companions, the bond between father and son, and the bond of love. These strong bonds, which never break, no matter what difficulties they face, weave a moving tale.
Magic: There are spells such as fire and blizzards, but they are affected by the weather and terrain, a technique unique to this game that strives for realism. For example, if you cast fire on a grassland, it will spread to the plants and trees, and will disappear when it rains. Blizzards can even freeze you. You can experience the effects of magic, drawing you further into the world.
