Nerds beware: the new incarnation of Cid in this Final Fantasy XV trailer might be too much to handle...
Final Fantasy XV looks absolutely beautiful. It's apparent in the trailer we have for you below that this installment is a very big next step for the franchise. First of all, the roadtrip mechanic unleashes a much larger world for players looking for that open-world experience that Final Fantasy XIII was missing for the most part.
This trailer is also a good chance to see some of the combat, which flows in the real-time and involves a lot of really cool blades. The characters face off against enemy soldiers and wild beasts, and that all looks great, too.
But most importantly, we meet the new Cid, who isn't actually a Cid at all, but a CIDNEY. Now that's a play on the character that we haven't seen before. Over the years, Cid has appeared in every installment in the series since Final Fantasy II. He's played many different roles, whether a member of your party or a pilot or a mechanic. Cid's always there!

No release date has been set for Final Fantasy XV, but rumor has it that it'll arrive some time in 2015.
