When it comes to innovation in video games, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a cornerstone of advancement. The role of AI in gaming is expanding at a rapid pace, making gameplay more interactive, challenging, and realistic. An AI Wiki can provide a plethora of information on how AI algorithms make the gaming landscape what it is today. One game that stands as a prime example of how AI could dramatically alter the gaming experience is Final Fantasy XV (FF15).

Final Fantasy XV: An Overview
Final Fantasy XV is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. Released in 2016, it’s the fifteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. The game takes players on a captivating journey across a beautifully rendered open world. It follows Prince Noctis and his friends as they attempt to reclaim their kingdom from an enemy invasion. The game’s combat system, story, and visuals have received praise from critics and gamers alike.
How AI is Currently Utilized in Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV already employs some basic forms of AI, most notably in its non-playable characters (NPCs). The AI-controlled teammates in the game help you in battles and engage in scripted conversations. They have basic decision-making skills that enable them to dodge attacks, heal themselves, or assist you in executing combination moves. These NPCs also respond dynamically to the events in the game, offering a semblance of realism.
Potential Enhancements Through AI
Advanced NPC Interactions
Advanced AI algorithms could make NPC interactions much more lifelike and unpredictable. Currently, NPCs follow a set script or pattern of actions. With machine learning algorithms, these characters could adapt and learn from the player’s actions. For example, if you constantly use a specific strategy in battle, the AI could recognize this and counter it, making gameplay more challenging.
Personalized Gameplay
AI could analyze your gameplay style and adapt the game accordingly. If you like a fast-paced, action-packed experience, the game could increase the frequency of enemy encounters. Conversely, if you prefer exploring and finding collectibles, the game could generate more puzzles and side quests in your path.
Natural Language Processing for Dialogue
Natural language processing (NLP), a subfield of AI, could be implemented to make dialogue more interactive and authentic. Instead of choosing from preset dialogue options, players could type or speak their responses, and the game would react appropriately. This would add a new level of immersion and player engagement.
Adaptive Storylines
By incorporating AI, the game’s storyline could adapt to the decisions made by the player. Unlike traditional branching storylines that have a set number of outcomes, an AI-powered storyline could generate new twists and outcomes based on player choices, making each playthrough unique.
Improved Visuals
AI algorithms like neural networks could be used to enhance the game’s visuals in real-time, offering a more detailed and dynamic environment without requiring constant updates or patches.
AI for More Realistic NPCs
Currently, the NPCs in Final Fantasy XV follow predefined scripts and behaviors. With AI, these characters could react in more variable and realistic ways to the player's choices and actions. Machine learning techniques like reinforcement learning could allow NPC companions to adapt to the player's battle strategies and gameplay style. Contextual dialogue generated by natural language processing would make conversations feel more natural and engaging.
AI for Adaptive Game Difficulty
The combat and challenges in Final Fantasy XV could also scale difficulty more organistically using AI. Instead of a static progression, machine learning algorithms can analyze player performance and tweak encounters to always remain interesting - not too easy but not frustrating. This would prevent the common problem of RPGs becoming too repetitive or hard at certain points.
Navigation and exploration in huge open world games can also be enhanced through AI pathfinding. Instead of following fixed routes, NPCs could use probabilistic algorithms to determine the most logical routes based on changing environmental factors. This would make their movement seem more realistic and adaptive.
