Final Fantasy XV Director Left SQEX Due to a Difference in Philosophy; DLC Cancellation Wasn’t His Decision
04.12.2023 - 12:51 / wccftech.com
Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata left Square Enix due to a difference in philosophy with the president, which prevented him from doing what he thought he should do.
Speaking in a new interview with 4Gamer, the director of the fifteenth main entry in the series opened up about his split with Square Enix, highlighting how he was essentially forced to leave and start his own company, JP Games. Tabata-san also talked about the Final Fantasy XV DLC Dawn of the Future, saying that the partial cancellation wasn't his decision. He regrets the development of the new additional content for the game was cut, as they were not able to keep their promises to players. Still, the frustration of the situation motivated him to make up for it by developing new games. One of them is a console RPG project being developed with another unspecified company.
It is a shame that Final Fantasy XV did not get the complete Dawn of the Future DLC as, while the game did have a fair share of issues, it still was a solid RPG, as I highlighted in my review of the Windows Edition.
Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition is the only, true definitive edition of the Square Enix Japanese Role-Playing Game, thanks to the superior graphics quality and several gameplay and story enhancements, which are also included in the consoles' Royal Edition. The open world nature of the first half of the game may not be for JRPG fans, especially for those who prefer a more traditional approach, but this shouldn't stop anybody from experiencing Noctis' journey the way it was meant to be experienced. The true King is finally here, and Eos can finally rejoice.
Final Fantasy XV is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One worldwide.
