Announced in 2006, Ian Koehler looks back on eight years in development for Final Fantasy XV. For those of you who are huge Final Fantasy you had a huge treat last week. A trailer popped up showing more game-play of the upcoming title. To be honest Ian was never a fan of the NEW series. He loved the NES and SNES ones but never the new ones. Once Ian had watched the trailer he knew he wanted this game.
But why has it taken eight year to get to this stage ?

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.
I am at the stage where I can continue to wait I mean 8 years of waiting another can't hurt. I will have kh 2.5 and type 0 to keep me going then hopefully 15. It's definitely not worth the 8 year wait (no game is) but the game looks like it will be epic all the same.
so looking forward to xv in 20XV, hopefully. Tired of waiting in limbo 4 this
I was sweet 16 when the first trailer came out. I'm almost 25 now.
They should have renamed this Final Fantasy Forever.
