Final Fantasy XV is an action-RPG video game developed by Square Enix for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

"Final Fantasy XV" will have new game details, Chocobo Riding, Fishing and a rumored summon as the game's first DLC character.

Square Enix revealed new details for "Final Fantasy XV" during their panel presentation at the Tokyo Game Show last week as they released that "Dawn 2.0" trailer that shows Luna's backstory and the behind-the-scenes video of the real life locations they have used in creating the game's world.

"Final Fantasy XV" will have two new activities for gamers to try such as Chocobo riding and fishing. Noctis and the friends can ride the Chocobos to explore new terrains that cannot be used by their car or barefoot alone. Players can call on a Chocobo simply by whistling or going to a Chocobo post near in the area.

The game will not feature a Chocobo breeding system, but there will be a way to track down their Chocobos and use special buffs to increase its speed and jumping ability, Latest News Explorer reported. Gamers can use the Chocobos to dash there way in the open area or slide through muddy areas in swamps or lakes.

The "Fishing" feature allows gamers go fly fishing and use several baits for Noctis to catch different varieties of fishes. The fishes eventually see the bait as gamers will use the directional analog stick to lure the fish from left to right so that they cannot escape. Once the player catches a fish, they can cook and eat it during camp sites as it will increase their stats.

In other news, game director Hajime Tabata revealed several game details within "Final Fantasy XV's" plot and gameplay details. He stated that Gilgamesh will be added in the game as a DLC. It is said that Gilgamesh is one of the rumored summons in "Final Fantasy XV," alongside Shiva, Bahamut, Odin, Alexander, Doom Train and the Knights of the Round. Players can also "borrow" the summon's powers after as way of proving that they have beaten them in battle.

Tabata added that the Airships and different voice languages are also being considered as DLC, and any future content of game feature will be free for gamers when they release it. Guns in the game will not have any combo chains and other party members like Gladio, Prompto or Ignis can use sub-weapons such as shields.

New details for Luna have also been revealed as she is described as an "oracle" living in Tenebrae, a city under Niflheim's control. She has the ability to talk to the gods and is considered the youngest oracle in the story. Luna is unafraid of the soldiers of Niflheim and it is hinted that she and Noctis made a promise to each other when they were children, PlayStationLifeStyle reported.

Other features in game will include no loading screens when traveling to different places and the absence of both Moogles and Limit Breaks within the game, but Square Enix assured fans that they will find a way to add them or use something similar to them.

Square Enix added that they will announce more details on "Final Fantasy XV" soon, before its launch date announcement in March 2016.

"Final Fantasy XV" will be released sometime in 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
