Gamers will be controlling the character of Noctis on "Final Fantasy 15." Survival will have some challenges as players are supposed to eat the right types of food, or sleep and rest to be able to subsist in the games, just like in real life. There is also a weather element to "Final Fantasy 15," as well as different environments that the players, as Noctis, will encounter and learn to navigate.

As for the fighting mode, players familiar with other "Final Fantasy" installments will not be at a loss. Noctis basically does the hack and slash along with other special abilities. He also travels with a team of fighters, who bear different weapons and abilities as well. "Final Fantasy 15" follows the same treatment as classic "Final Fantasy" games, but with some improvements fitting of a more powerful console.

Square Enix promised gamers "Final Fantasy 15" will bring 100 hours of enjoyment and it will also have some fun side quests. "Final Fantasy 15" is also PSVR ready, meaning, it can be played flawlessly with Sony's virtual reality headset that's coming out in October.
