‘Final Fantasy XV’ new screenshots feature enemy, Chocobos in action and Naga monster
“Final Fantasy XV” fans have been having a blast this Halloween season. Square Enix has released a couple of concept art and screenshots from the game. And the latest batch includes another new enemy, a monster and a scene of the heroes comfortably riding the Chocobos.
The new enemy is called the Numb Blade, which looks like a Japanese samurai with a creepy face that resembles a mask. Clad in a kimono and wielding a big sword, the Numb Blade is reportedly a ronin, or a samurai who has no master to serve, GearNuke reported. The design takes after the Japanese samurai and their culture, so the elements actually have a basis and are backed by research.
Another monster that’s sure to create some nightmares is the Naga. The snake-like creature with what looks like a human head and hair as seen on its side, is a monster that players will encounter in “Final Fantasy XV.” According to DualShockers, the Naga was based on one of the designs by Yoshitaka Amano, and will go for a realistic look come “Final Fantasy XV.”
Square Enix has also provided a description of what the Naga is. According to the developer, the monster has been a challenge to work with in terms of transforming the representation of the original artwork to create a scary and creepy monster for “Final Fantasy XV.” The developer revealed that the goal was to make the monster look real without losing the scary quality of the original artwork.
A more familiar and lighthearted scene comes from the other screenshot, which shows Noctis with his band riding Chocobos. The scene looks a little comical, with all serious characters all clad in black, revealed to be the royal colour and the fashion statement for battle, while riding the yellow Chocobos.
“Final Fantasy XV” is coming to the PS4 and Xbox One. There is no definite release date yet, but Square Enix has mentioned 2016 in its timelines.
