Microsoft Corporation held their annual Build developer's conference last week, and as part of enticing developers to make games for their new and upcoming Windows 10 OS, they asked Square Enix to make a small presentation using Microsoft's DirectX 12 technology, which will ship with the operating system. The presentation features a scene using elements from Final Fantasy XV, and the focus was largely on lighting, skin, and hair rendering. Hajime Tabata from Square Enix's Business Division II gave a small intro before the folks at Microsoft rolled the clip. The scene is actually really impressive.

Microsoft’s DirectX 12 will launch with Windows 10 later this year. Final Fantasy XV has been teased for a couple of years now and will release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, though no official date has been mentioned.
