Fresh off news of the game's delay, Square Enix released nearly an hour of new footage of the long-awaited Final Fantasy XV, including footage of chocobo riding, combat, camping and traversing new areas via convertible.

Female fans of the series, and presumably human beings in general, will likely be annoyed by Cindy, who appears shortly after the five-minute mark. The character's over-the-top voice acting and mind-bogglingly microscopic shorts make past Final Fantasy women like Tifa and Garnet seem downright nuanced by comparison.

The game certainly looks beautiful, and it's fun to see some more environments that Noctis and his buddies will explore throughout the game. But the question remains, how will it play?

You can watch the extensive new footage of FFXV below:

Final Fantasy XV comes to Xbox One and PS4 Nov. 29.

REVIEW SUMMARY
Final Fantasy XV
8.5
Combat, Plot, Characters Create Something Flawed, Beautiful, Fantastic
Despite it's flaws, Final Fantasy XV is a milestone achievement: not just for being completed, but for being completed with polish, aplomb and love.
  • Engaging main cast of characters
  • Fun, fast-paced combat
  • A massive, beautiful world to explore
  • The Regalia!
  • Continuous updates have addressed some shortcomings of the initial release
  • Major aspects of the story feel rushed or absent, particularly toward the end of the game
  • Stealth sequences feel out of place
