Coverage trailer

The Final Fantasy name holds incredible significance for role-playing fans. Even though recent installments are divisive, no one can deny the impact this series has had on the RPG genre and gaming as a whole. However significant those contributions may be, Square Enix is not content to let this franchise’s legacy remain in the past. The team behind Final Fantasy XV – led by director Hajime Tabata – recognizes the missteps in the series’ history, but is working toward a bright future. With action-focused combat, open-world technology, and a renewed focus on characters and storytelling, Square Enix is hoping to reclaim its position at the forefront of the RPG genre.

This title has been on gamers’ radar since it was first announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII a decade ago. Fans just got a flood of new information last week at the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event…but the surprises don’t stop there.

In our massive 20-page cover story, we offer an even more in-depth look at the game with exclusive new details. We spent a week in Tokyo visiting Square Enix’s offices with unprecedented access, playing the game for hours and interviewing the creative minds making it happen. We talk to the team about everything fans want to know: exploration, narrative, combat, summons, and more. Whether your enthusiasm for Final Fantasy is new, old, or even lapsed, this story is a must-read.

I love the portraits, especially the one with young Noctis crying. This game just feels so right to me so far.

Love that painting on the wall :D

edit: borrowed a larger copy of that Amano art, since the Wikia image kept shrinking

Wow, that is a dope cover. Surprised and glad it's FFXV I just didn't think after the Uncovered conference they would be revealing more just yet.

I like how the art goes with the commentary - Regis represents "older" FF's, mature and an example for the new generation of FF's (Noctis), who are uncomfortable in their formal clothes and can be seen as "rebelling" against the norm like a teenager.

The painting on the wall would be Regis and his group (kingsglaive?) who mirror and precede Noctis's own group.

If I hadn't played the recent "platinum" demo, I'd feel so blasé about this. I'm really interested all over again.
