is an upcoming action role-playing video game being developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and currently scheduled for a worldwide release in 2016. It is the fifteenth main installment in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, and forms part of the ''Fabula Nova Crystallis'' subseries, which also includes ''Final Fantasy XIII'' and ''Final Fantasy Type-0''. Originally a spin-off titled exclusive to the PlayStation 3, it is a major departure from previous games, providing a darker atmosphere that focuses on more realistic human characters than previous entries. The game features an open-world environment and action-based battle system similar to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series and ''Type-0'', incorporating the ability to switch weapons and other elements such as vehicle travel and camping. The game takes place in a world similar to modern-day Earth. The nations of the world once waged war over control of the world's crystals, and all but the nation of Lucis have lost theirs and regressed to medieval societies. Noctis Lucis Caelum, Crown Prince of the kingdom of Lucis—having gained magical power from a near-death experience—is driven from his home when the empire of Niflheim invades Lucis on the eve of the final peace negotiations between the two nations. Now on the run with his companions, Noctis begins to work towards defeating the forces of Niflheim and rescuing the crystal from their control. ''Final Fantasy XV'' is being developed by a team within Square Enix's 2nd Business Division, and is the first to use the company's Luminous Studio middleware engine. It was originally directed by Tetsuya Nomura, who also designed characters and conceived the concept and base story. In 2014, co-director Hajime Tabata took Nomura's place as director, while Nomura moved to work on ''Kingdom Hearts III''. ''Final Fantasy XV'' started production shortly before its announcement in May 2006. The game's long development time and absence from the public eye gave rise to several rumors concerning its possible cancellation or shift to another platform. In June 2013, it was eventually revealed to have been renamed and to have switched systems from PlayStation 3 to eighth-generation platforms. ==Gameplay== ''Final Fantasy XV'' is an action role-playing game. The characters have the ability to traverse the environment in a free-running style, which also extends to battle with larger enemies.〔 During navigation, markers can be placed around the environment to help with navigation.〔 The world is a large connected landmass which can be explored on foot or by using a car or a chocobo. Loading screens are only encountered when the party is entering a city or town.〔 They can visit such locations to rest in hotels or buy equipment and ingredients for cooking during camping.〔 The car can be driven by Noctis, or Ignis can take control, enabling an auto-drive option. It is maintained by the mechanic character Cindy.〔〔 To ride chocobos, the player must rent them.〔 A day-and-night time system affects the appearance of monsters on the world map. One in-game day equates to one hour real-time, and characters who do not sleep have decreased combat ability.〔〔 Enemy types, numbers and strength change depending on the time of day.〔 There is a dynamic weather system, with transient effects such as rain affecting things such as the characters' clothing.〔 Camping during the night is necessary for characters to maintain combat performance and level up: experience points earned in battle during the day are converted into new levels during camping periods. Camps form a safe haven during exploration, and cooking in them using ingredients from both towns and the wilds grants character status buffs.〔〔 The buffs become weaker as time passes, with further meals needed to renew them.〔 Once a camp site has been activated, the player can return to it at any time.〔 Minigames, such as fishing, are also available.〔 Quests can be taken from non-playable characters and bulletin boards for experience and gil, the in-game currency. Items acquired in the world through gathering or combat can also be sold at areas called gathering points.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Final Fantasy XV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
