CHOCOBO RIDING AND FISHING GAMEPLAY (Starts after the Cyborg Ninja needless intro:

- IGN:

The Report centered around a pair of characters -- Noctis’ father King Regis, and the mysterious Luna. We learned that in order to protect the kingdom of Lucis, King Regis had to erect a magical, protective barrier around the entire nation. But in doing so, the strain of the magic ate away at his body. This weakened state leaves himself, Noctis, and his kingdom vulnerable to the Nifelheim empire, which is pressing forward onto Lucis.

The footage Square showed at Gamescom was a short, emotional look at the bond between King Regis and Noctis. We also learned that the Regalia, the car Noctis and company drive around throughout Episode Duscae and XV proper, was previously owned by his father Regis.  On Luna’s front, she’s in a place called Tenebrae, assuming her status as Oracle. She’s highly revered due to her ability to commune with the gods, as well as the fact that she’s the youngest Oracle ever. Square teased some of Luna’s past, saying that her and Noctis made a promise when they were children, but they weren’t ready to delve into what it was, wanting to keep away from spoilers. Finally, in a piece of Luna art, there’s a black-haired woman standing behind her named Gentiana, who plays an important role in the game.

The Report then switched gears, showcasing footage of Noctis and company riding Chocobos, as well as fishing in one of FFXV’s minigames. The fish you catch can be used for dinner when your crew camps for the night.

- from Kotaku:

In Final Fantasy XV, you don’t have to travel around only by car or on foot. You can ride Chocobos and make those big birds drift.

This is bonkers! There’s a speed dash, and then you can slow down suddenly and drift ‘em and hop over crocodiles.

And when you are done with that, you can go fishing.

This isn’t the first mention of Chocobos (or even fishing) in FFXV, and according to Square Enix, both the Chocobo-riding and the fishing in FFXV will feel different from previous games.

21 WE JUST LEARNED FROM FFXV

- They will not include Japanese and English language voice tracks on the disc, because apparently, they can’t fit both on the physical game. But according to Hajime Tabata, he’s thinking of offering the extra language tracks via download.

- When it rains, the sunroof for Noctis’ car automatically closes.

- Square Enix is considering offering Gilgamesh as DLC.

- There are no Moogles in the game, because they wouldn’t fit in with the game’s atmosphere.

- Chocobos can be rented for ten to thirty days. You will need gil to rent them. While you’ve rented them, you can call them at any time, and they’ll appear.

- Right now, the team is focusing on developing FFXV, incorporating feedback from the Episode Duscae demo, which is why there isn’t a new playable version yet for the public.

- There are quest-like mini-games called “activities.” This include Chocobo races.

- You can’t combo with guns, but you can rapid fire with them.

- Square Enix is considering costume changes for the characters. This might be limited due to the contract with the fashion label who created the characters’ outfits.

- Fishing will have various rod and lure types.

- Square Enix is aiming for a Teen-rating for the game.

- You can pre-set your four weapons and then change them in real time during battle.

- There will be a game mechanic that is similar to Limit Breaks, but it will be called something else.

- You cannot breed or raise Chocobos.

- Chocobo’s dash and jump improve by feeding them while camping.

- You cannot enter every single building in the game.

- FFXV has one new magic spell.

- There is a photo mode.

- It’s possible to level up your cooking skills.

- Tabata said they do want airships, but if Square Enix cannot offer a new experience, players won’t be able to get airships.

- However, Square Enix is currently developing a side-quest with airships. If it doesn’t meet the team’s standards, it will be cut from the game.

Yeah, the way those creatures came and ran alongside the character while driving the chocobo was very cool. I wonder hostile creatures will react to you riding a chocobo as well, like these creatures did but maybe take you down or initiating combat or something.

Free riding chocobos option is the the best kind of Final Fantasy.

And this was this secret show for?

The Chocobo riding looked great. Hope there's more of a point to fishing than just getting food, something like in Dark Cloud 2 would be cool.

Chocobo Drift. Cool name for a game, would make a cool game too.

Yay, second picture from the only not boring looking girl in the universe.

The game feels so big but with that seemingly complex preview they're showing, I'm afraid they might get lost with the development and forget certain important aspects of the core gameplay.

The fishing reminded me immediately of Dark Cloud 2 mini game.

Maybe the reboot for Chocobo Racing. :D

I want to believe they have taken enough time by now to invest proper time on important things, I want to believe.
