Final Fantasy XV Is Coming Out In 2016, Get The Details

Today, as part of a new year's surprise, Square Enix posted on their official blog that they would be releasing Final Fantasy XV this year in 2016. GameSpot had posted a video in August exclaiming that Square Enix had given an official date for release, but it was only a window of sometime before 2017. We probably won't have an official release date for another few months. Many are excited to finally have a more precise window for release. With so many diehard Final Fantasy fans, it's rare to see anyone upset by this New Year's news. In 2013, Final Fantasy XV announced it was being developed for Xbox One and PS4 when it was originally announced at the 2006 E3 as Final Fantasy Versus XIII with Final Fantasy XIII, so it's fair to say Final Fantasy XV is a rebranding. It's obvious to see from former Final Fantasy games that creators have always taken their time with them. From the intricate details enhanced by the crystal-clear graphics and emotional storylines to the in-depth character development, a Final Fantasy game is never just a game. You have to remember, that interview was back in late 2014. Surely the game has more than surpassed that amount of time with additional content. Amazon Japan announced a June 1 release date, but that hasn't been confirmed and is only a rumor. The actual release date has not been announced yet and won't be announced until at least March.
