The gameplay shown tonight, has Noctis and company sneaking into a Niflheim military base. He has to stick to the shadows creeping past the enemy soldiers, and can use his warp ability to stealthily assassinate unaware enemies. After the group’s discovered an all-out battle commences, with Noctis jumping around from enemy to enemy slashing.
We get a look at some cooperative moves between Noctis and his allies, and even a shot of him jumping on a machine gun to blast away enemies. Finally, the trailer ends with the group fighting a massive suit of Magitek Armor and Noctis using a fire spell which creates a huge explosion.
