Final Fantasy XV, the long anticipated new entry of the series by Square Enix, is now very close to release, and the team is almost done tweaking the game and preparing it for launch. Last week, game director Hajime Tabata confirmed that Final Fantasy XV recently entered a data locked phase, meaning that the data going into the final release won't be changed outside of some critical fixes, and today we are finally able to check out more of the game's final version.

A few hours ago, Polygon shared a new Final Fantasy XV gameplay video showcasing the first 45 minutes of the game. While the actual game content is not much different from what we have seen previously, the new video highlights how much the game has improved since the past few months.

To better highlight the differences between the build showcased in the new video, and the Gamescom 2016 and E3 2016 builds, several NeoGAF forum members have put together some comparison screenshots, which can be found right below.
