As the decade-long wait for Final Fantasy XV comes to an end, Square Enix has released more details on the upcoming RPG. There is new information on guest party members, partner sub-weapons, ability calls and more beautiful screenshots of the Shiva summon and the city of Altissia.
Cor Leonis and Iris Amicitia will join your party for a limited time as guest characters. Cor was revealed way back at E3 2013 during the trailer rebranding Versus XIII as Final Fantasy XV. He is a 42 year old muscular military man of the imperial capital garrison and wield long swords in battle. Iris is Gladiolus' little sister and fights with hand to hand combat as well as her stuffed Moogle.
The other three members of your main party will be able to equip a secondary weapon and switch between it and their main weapon. Gladiolus uses shields, Ignis uses Lances and Prompto uses machinery giving all the characters additional tactics to use in battle and more adaptability to different situations.
The next feature revealed is 'Ability Call', Abilities such as Ignis' 'Analyze' will be acquired separately from the leveling system by using Ability Points (AP). Learned abilities are dependent on the actions you perform. The system is divided into various branches and seemingly allows for a high level of customization to create a party that suits your preferences.
Final Fantasy XV is due out November 29th for PS4 and Xbox One. We've just updated our gallery with all of the game's new screenshots to help make this wait more bearable.
