Exclusive: Final Fantasy 15's flying car won't fly on command

Square-Enix made us all do a little wee of excitement when it showcased the ​Final Fantasy 15​ flying car at the end of the Uncovered event last month.

At Final Fantasy Uncovered, one of the biggest cheers took place when the Regalia car - in which Noctis and his posse undertake their road trip - sprouted wings and took flight. 

Director Hajime Tabata confirmed that wasn't just a flight of fancy for the trailer, but is something that will be in the game – although not from the start.

"The flying model of the Regalia car is something you get late in the game as an additional upgrade," said Tabata. "We will create some areas that you can only reach with the flying car, but it is not something you need for the main story.

"We want people to feel overjoyed that this car, which you have travelled the whole world in, can now fly." 

It also seems that the flying car won't be able to control very easily. 

"We also wanted that thrilling, slightly dangerous feeling you get on an aeroplane when it comes in to land. The flying car is easy to take off, but you must be careful when you land it, because it will bounce around."
