Tabata: After FFXV We Have a Solid Production Base; With This Experience We Can Do Even Better Games

Just last week, later on a flurry of rumors Square Enix confirmed that Last Fantasy XV had been delayed for virtually two months, beingness now scheduled for November 29th on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox Ane.

Here's what Game Director Tabata said at the time:

We understand well that there are so many people out there who are looking forrad to the release of FFXV every day. Nosotros are incredibly sorry for having to continue all of you waiting another 2 months and I apologize sincerely.

However, subsequently these two months nosotros will evangelize FINAL FANTASY Fifteen in the all-time possible state it can be, to players who have bought the game from all effectually the world. And so I would be grateful if yous could continue to be patient and look forwards to the 29th of November.

In an interview but published by Vice Gaming, Tabata explained how working on Last Fantasy 15 for so long will lead to better games in the franchise's future.

I've learned a lot from making this game. And it's worth saying that through the process of making XV, we now take a solid product base, which represents groundwork for the future. I have then many expectations for what we tin can do now, with the experience we have; I retrieve we can move forwards equally a team and make even improve games.

What taught me a lot, though, was the global strategy for this game. This whole matter, like what we're doing now, with me going abroad before the game is finished, talking to people while the game is all the same in development, that's something that I never really did earlier. I don't think that we, as the Final Fantasy studio, ever really did this before.

Information technology would certainly exist squeamish if this experience allowed Square Enix to create improve games; hopefully the process volition exist a little quicker, too.

Our Francesco recently got the chance to try a new portion of Final Fantasy Fifteen at Gamescom 2022 and enjoyed information technology quite a lot; in fact, the game received our Best RPG award.
