Pixels or Death writes about why playing Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep makes some of the things announced so far about Final Fantasy XV make a lot of sense. They write things like:
"This concept reassures me, as a lifelong fan of the genre. Modern console RPGs aren’t cheap, or easy, to make, and it’s good to see some developers figuring out how to put things together. Lightning Returns, the last game in the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, might not be perfect, but it shows Square trying to branch out, to apply these handheld lessons to console releases. To make videogames that we can get excited about."

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.
"Birth by Sleep isn’t really a good game". That made me question this article.
