Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV is an upcoming downloadable virtual reality (VR) video game for PlayStation VR being developed and published by Square Enix. It forms part of the multimedia project surrounding the 2016 video game Final Fantasy XV. Players interact with the four main characters of Final Fantasy XV while taking part in fishing around a variety of locations.
VR-based content for Final Fantasy XV was under consideration for some time. Monster of the Deep was the first VR-based video game ever developed by Square Enix. The project's initial form was a first-person shooter add-on to the main game, with a demo being created for the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo around this premise. The game was changed into a fishing simulation due to the latter's higher level of immersion.
Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV, a virtual reality (VR) simulation game, takes place within Eos, an Earth-like fantasy world that serves as the setting for the 2016 role-playing game Final Fantasy XV. The player, while interacting with main protagonist Noctis Lucis Caelum and his three companions, takes part in fishing in ponds, hunting and catching various fish. A major goal is catching the titular "monster", a powerful fish which can attack the player and end the game. As a VR-based experience, players have a 360 degree view of their surroundings.
Monster of the Deep forms part of "Final Fantasy XV Universe", a multimedia project based around Final Fantasy XV that includes additional story episodes, a feature film, and original net animation: the story of Final Fantasy XV was large enough to have covered several games, but as the team did not want to create any additional games, they decided to produce additional media.XV and its associated media likewise hold a thematic connection to Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy, a compilation of games and associated media sharing a common mythos while boasting unconnected stories and settings. While distanced from the Fabula Nova Crystallis brand for marketing purposes, the world of XV still uses its mythos and design elements.
