The Final Fantasy XV VR Experience ‘Monster of the Deep’ Is Out Today

I love how VR titles have dropped the pretense of being games and are now just experiences. Remember to ask you parents to get you that VR experience this Christmas, kids!

The ever-expanding FINAL FANTASY XV Universe (they really are milking this game like it’s the last good idea Square Enix ever had) casts its line into the world of virtual reality with today’s release of MONSTER OF THE DEEP: FINAL FANTASY XV, a brand-new VR experience for PlayStation VR system.

Based on the mini-game from FINAL FANTASY XV, this new game invites players to head out on an angling expedition with crown prince Noctis, his companions Ignis, Prompto and Gladio and other familiar faces across picturesque locales.

Players can put their fishing skills to the test in Story Mode, which places them in the middle of an exhilarating, action-packed showdown with a menace lurking in the depths, or take in the sights, sounds and scenery of Eos through a variety of challenges in Free Fishing mode.

With 13 different rods to use, 61 lures to choose from and over 100 varieties of fish to catch, players can look forward to a gratifying journey ahead to becoming Eos’ greatest Lord of the Lures.

It’s a fishing game/experience. You can fish in VR. Action fishing! Kill me.

And why the heck does the trailer use music with the Skyrim theme? I’m pretty sure it’s the same song with a single note change. Weird.
