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.
40 hours only !!! I hope thats the story missions because 40 hours is so goddamn short but then he says exploring things in the demo takes 3 to 4 hours and the demo is 1/40 of the game so that means the game will last us 120-160 hours and i hope its true .
That better be 40 hours for main story, man Tabata ...Just stop talking, you are digging this game an early grave.
Acceptable for me..
40 hours - main story that for sure, or lightning returns is much longer ?! LOL .. the length of the story is amazing + exploration could take 60 before the final boss like the old FF. NOT LIKE XIII everybody that i know finish it in 34 hours
40 is perfect. I'm the type to take it slow, absorb the scenery... maybe the music. Full side quests etc. I hope for a solid 70-100 hour play through. I got ff13's platinum in 70 hours, and ff12 was w 40 hour game with 60hours extra easily.
Good news! Hope its 40 hours of great story though.
By him saying 40 hours, it means 30-60 depending on play style!
