Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition Appears on ESRB Website

Final Fantasy XV has had multiple versions of itself. There’s a mobile chibi version of the game, a mobile spin-off game, a VR title and even a PC version coming in 2018. But apparently, there’s more to come according to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.

The ESRB has a new listing for something called Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition. With no official announcement, the description seems to be very similar to the original listing.

“This is an action role-playing game (RPG) in which players control a prince and his friends as they attempt to save their kingdom from evil forces. From a third-person perspective, players move around battlefields and city environments, perform various quests, and battle an assortment of human and fantastical enemies (e.g., demons, titans). Characters use swords, guns (e.g., pistols, machine guns, rocket launchers, sniper rifles), and magic attacks (e.g., exploding fireballs, blasts of ice) to defeat soldiers, monsters, and oversized animals in frenetic combat. Fights are highlighted by cries of pain, dramatic light effects, explosions, and realistic gunfire. A handful of cutscenes depict characters impaled on swords; one cutscene involves a woman being stabbed off-screen; another scene depicts a character with a bloodstained wound. During the course of the game, some female characters are depicted topless, with breasts that lack discernible details (i.e., no nipples). The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.”

What does this mean for the future of Final Fantasy XV? Is it simply the original game with DLC included, or is there more involved?  No further information has been found yet, but check back with GameZone for more updates as they arrive.

Final Fantasy XV is available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. A Windows version is set for release in early 2018.
