Destructoid: "Will it make back its budget and become a massive hit? I'm not so sure. I think the concept of focusing on a rich band of boys is already niche as it is (I'm cool with it, but my goodness, some of you won't be able to deal with the cheese), as is the large focus on travel and (so far) backseat story. There's just so much downtime in which to explore the world that the pacing is partially what you make it, which hasn't been a popular means of storytelling, and possibly isn't suited for the typically pointed Final Fantasy series. We'll see."

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.
FF fans will by it day one including myself...I'm ready.
I think for a FF fan the "cheese" is welcome. Its part of the dna of most great FF titles (looking at you FF9), and the more action oriented gameplay will bring in more casuals than a turn based system woyld. I think it will make its money back, just a hunch (it will).
'seems fine' ? That it?
Its fine lol
