Developer Square Enix recently detailed the technology used in stitching together the animation of "Final Fantasy XV" as well as other aspects of the game including the lighting and weather effects as well as its physics.

At the recently concluded Siggraph 2016, a group of designers from Square Enix shared a whole bunch of "Final Fantasy 15" clips (that Dual Shockers managed to put online) showing off the tech.

It turns out that Square Enix takes the physics in "Final Fantasy 15" very seriously. The developers explained how the physics-based animation is implemented on the driving and enemy battles.

Physics-based animation also played a part in magic spells and the slight changes that players will notice when they mount the Chocobo in "Final Fantasy 15."

The developers also paid close attention to the physics involved with food, specifically when a plate of victuals is placed on a table, suggesting that they are not messing around with the animation in the upcoming game.

The Square Enix animators also revealed how the reflections fans will see in "Final Fantasy 15" are achieved as well as the effects of the wind when it blows in an environment and on the characters.

A bunch of the clips also gives a good and in-depth look at the weather effects in "Final Fantasy 15" such as the sky and the clouds, the rain and how they affect the way the hair of the characters look when exposed to them.

Dual Shockers also acquired the slides from the "Final Fantasy 15," bearing the complete details revealed about the highly-anticipated game at Siggraph 2016 (watch the whole show here).

With the amount of detail being put into the visuals and animation of "Final Fantasy 15" even down to the food, fans can expect amazing graphics quality in the game.

"Final Fantasy 15" and it will finally be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 30. The game will be presented at the Gamescom next month.
