Gameitall With the Tokyo Game Show starting today, Square Enix had a couple of Final Fantasy bombs to drop on us, aside from a new trailer and North American release date for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, the big news comes from the extremely impressive Final Fantasy XV.
First, some bad news. It appears that FFXV director Tetsuya Nomura will be stepping away from the project to focus on other “production of titles that can only be made possibly by Nomura himself,” which includes the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3. Final Fantasy Type-0 and Before Crisis: Final Fantasy 7 director Hajime Tabata will be taking over Nomura duties.
Now the good news, a new gameplay trailer was shown late last night that showed off the combat gameplay as well as the impressive graphics, environments and monsters we’ll see in the game. Also a demo for the game will be released along-side the HD remake of Final Fantasy Type-0 due in North America on March 17, 2015, Japan on March 19 and Europe on March 20, with a US price-tag of $60.
“Currently, Tabata and the entire development team are working, whole-heartedly, towards completing the production of Final Fantasy 15 and ensuring the delivery of the highest quality Final Fantasy title to date,” Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda said. “We invite every one of our fans to view the fruits of our labor through Final Fantasy 15‘s demo, and promise to present a game that further surpasses expectations when the finished product is released.”
