Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
It'll be Great!
I just hope Lightning doesn't show up ANYWHERE.
The characters, theme & battle system look intriguing as all heck.
Am I not mistaken that this is still an action-RPG? Still basically the same as XIII but in a modern world. The video clips from E3 shows no relation to the old school FF games.
PASS. I was hoping they would go back to basics, but it's not looking that way. Will hold up for XVII, maybe the VII behind the X will give FF what it needs.
"According to a post on Kokatu[sic], some Japanese players aren’t thrilled with the idea of an FF game set in a world that so closely resembles their own."
Japan! The last time Square made a full RPG set in modern Tokyo, it was The World Ends With You. The odds are in its favor, give it a chance!
This is really old news. I knew the story was goinged to be based on Hamlet years ago when people were pretending there was no info on VS13.
Love Hamlet so no worries about the story.
