'Final Fantasy XV' Gameplay Update: Square Enix Unveils Backstory Trailer at Gamescom 2015 (VIDEO)
Square Enix revealed this week at the Gamescom 2015 the new trailer for its highly anticipated action-adventure game series instalment, the "Final Fantasy XV."
The latest clip differs largely from the previously shown videos featuring a wild open world with the four brothers seen in action. This time around, it showcases sentimental scenes between a father and son. The promo teaser also provides a look on the lifestyle and technology of the people 15 years before the events of FFXV.
It remains to be seen how the backstory trailer connects to the main plotline of the game.
Square Enix, however, provides a description of the trailer which reads:
"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."
There's still no confirmation on the release date of "Final Fantasy XV." Nonetheless, the game is expected to launch on current-gen gaming platforms Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
