During this short gameplay video, Final Fantasy XV protagonist Noctis hanging around with chocobos and even riding one. There's even a familiar tune to go with it. The chocobos are big with bushy tails, and what's more they do look like the creatures we grew up with rather than assuming a new look.

Kweh! Check out the short clip in the video below. Make sure you've got all your ducks in a row to become an expert chocobo wrangler this September.

      The amount of marketing this is getting is just staggering. Makes me really think the fate of the entire franchise is hanging on the success of this release. If that's the case, then it's too bad that the combat system is completely uninteresting to me.

        The combat system actually looks pretty good. I think it'll primarily suffer from melodrama and weird squaresoft character design... again.

          See, I'm okay with the cheese. It's moving a traditional JRPG with a turn-based combat system into a hybrid ARPG with concurrent-turn combat (based on what I played in XIII). I guess they may be trying to go where Eternal Sonata went with highly interactive combat, but the video look like it wants to be real ARPG, but maybe without twitch-level positioning and dodging.

          I hope I'm wrong. Otherwise the game looks good to me. Except for not coming out on PC at launch it seems. So, either way, screw you, SE!

              I'm not familiar with that title. Is it traditional JRPG, or ARPG?

            eternal sonata? hm.

            no I think they're trying to do Kingdom Hearts, which was wildly successful in both the US and Japan.
