The very warm reception of gamers to the gameplay demo of ‘Final Fantasy XV’ that was part of the recently-released ‘Final Fantasy Type-O HD’ video game has inspired developer Square Enix to work on an update in order to excite fans and gamers all the more.
Square Enix announced that it will be launching version 2.0 of ‘Episode Duscae’ which is the gameplay demo of “Final Fantasy XV” early in June, reports Gematsu.
Actually, the developer has been mulling about the gameplay demo update as early as April but was hesitant to release it because it was not typical for console manufacturers to roll out an update to a mere game demo.
It seems that Square Enix was able to iron out the possible kinks with Sony and Microsoft so it shall proceed with releasing the gameplay demo update to the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One come June.
Accordingly, the gameplay demo update shall feature enhancements to the battle system, camera and targeting, as well as additional combat actions. Square Enix is said to be working on other features which would be included come its June release.
Big hit
Square Enix recently reported that it has shipped over one million copies of “Final Fantasxy Type-O HD,’ its latest entry to the franchise, and based on the optional survey that came with the game, the developer found out that 82% of those who purchased it actually wanted to play “Episode Duscae.”
“Episode Duscae” is the gameplay demo for “Final Fantasy XV” and the fact that gamers who purchased “Final Fantasy Type-O HD” did so to play the demo excites Square Enix all the more for its video game set to be release to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Square Enix has yet to reveal the official release date of “Final Fantasy XV,” though there have been previous hints that the game could either come out later this year or early next year.
Although it appears that many gamers purchased “Final Fantasy Type-O HD” simply for the gameplay demo of “Final Fantasy XV,” the new game itself should not be overlooked, cites The Sixth Axis.
Some of the game critics who played “Final Fantasy Type-O HD” said that it is a slightly more active and more engaging iteration of the traditional Final Fantasy experience. It also works well even if it is not using its traditional platform.
They also added that “Final Fantasy Type-O HD” is a good focal point for those gamers who have had the Final Fantasy experience before but eventually left to focus on other games to return to the game and feel differently without having to be completely lost at all. It’s also ideal for those who are new into the game.
