Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition will include higher quality assets that are not found in the original PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release. Additionally, the game will launch with minor modding tools which will allow modders to alter simple stuff like characters' skins. More powerful tools will be released down the line, but a tentative release window hasn't been confirmed.
