'Final Fantasy XV' Demo Release Date Arrives: Includes Hidden Movie With 'Final Fantasy Type-0 HD'
A "Final Fantasy XV" demo was released recently featuring a hidden movie as an incentive for players who complete the introductory game.
Initial copies of "Final Fantasy Type-O HD" were made public last week with "Final Fantasy XV:Episode Duscae," and players uncovered a hidden artwork movie when they finished the demo game.
The secret movie allowed fans of the Square Enix action role-playing game a look into what to expect when the upcoming title is finally released for PS4 and Xbox One.

The hidden movie shares additional insight about the fifteenth main game to the series. It appears to suggest that Stella Nox Fleuret, who previously appeared in "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" is the same Luna character, or someone who is closely connected to her, after having been featured recently in the upcoming game's recent trailers.
The short film serves as a warm up for fans of the series who have been patiently waiting for six years since "Fabula Nova Crystallis" was released in 2009.
The minute and a half movie features detailed artwork with overlaid text and a Japanese-speaking male and female doing the voiceovers to provide background information and shed context on the world surrounding "Final Fantasy XV," as well as to foreshadow the events to unfold in the game.
According to IGN, the demo that precedes the short film ends in a spectacular face-off between Gladio, Ignis, Noctis and Prompto against a gigantic "DeadEye" in a battle that ends when the game's player summons Ramuh, who calls forth a lightning storm that destroys the Behemoth.
Reception to the upcoming game's demo has generally been positive, and reports have emerged gamers are paying as much as $30 to be among the first to play the "Final Fantasy XV" intro. According to game director, Hajime Tabata, development on the title is nearing completion, however a release date has yet to be announced.
