It’ll happen on Thursday, April 13, at 2:00 pm PDT, 5:00 pm EDT, 10:00 pm BST, or 11:00 pm CEST depending on where you live. This type of State of Play presentation usually only features one game so don’t expect any additional surprises.

If you are unfamiliar with Final Fantasy XVIIt’s Square Enix’s next mainline game in the popular fantasy series. Its development is spearheaded by many developers from the Final Fantasy XIV This is not surprising given the number of registered accounts in the latest MMORPG.

The game is described as darker than the previous. Final Fantasy Its battle system is completely action-based and concept. You can still expect many traditional concepts, such as summons, Chocobos and, as you can see, Moogles.

We also learned that a demo is planned and should come shortly before the game’s release. While we wait, you can also take a look at a bunch of gameplay shown at PAX East.
