Square Enix Unveils World of Final Fantasy at E3 2015

Announced first during Sony's E3 2015 press conference, Square Enix shared more information about World of Final Fantasy during its own briefing today.

Square Enix has high hopes that World of Final Fantasy will act as a gateway title for those unfamiliar with the mega franchise while keeping its appeal with longtime fans. While it will star new characters, it is also chocked full of familiar faces from the series.

"Do you remember it at all? The terrible past you caused?"

This foreboding quote is mysteriously juxtaposed against the vibrant and cute visuals of the reveal trailer. The franchise has seen its share of endearing art direction and characters, from Moogles to the cast of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, but it's never been as pervasively endearing as what we've seen so far with World of Final Fantasy. It features adventuring with a dynamic isometric camera. Its most unique feature is a creature companion system, adding a ton of muscle to the game's battles.

World of Final Fantasy is scheduled for release in 2016 first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
