‘Final Fantasy XV’ makes an appearance at Paris Games Week, director talks about plans for a ‘Legend of Zelda’ game
November will be an eventful month for “Final Fantasy” fans. The Paris Games Week event will bring the latest title, “Final Fantasy XV” to the show floor for fans to enjoy. This was confirmed by Square Enix, with the “FFXV” showcase being just the tip of the iceberg.
Revealed via the official French page for Square Enix, GeekSnack reported that the publisher already has its schedule for Paris Games Week 2015 finalised. Leading the pack for games in the event is the “Final Fantasy XV” episode Duscae demo 2.0, which is the latest version.
There may also be some additional presentation involving the footage from the latest Duscae episode though details are still sparse as of writing. Other titles that will be shown off at the Paris Games Week include the “Final Fantasy Explorer” for the Nintendo 3DS and the NieR title with Platinum Games.
Though the release date for “Final Fantasy XV” still does not have a definite date, director Hajime Tabata is looking forward to other possible titles that he would like to work on. Tabata revealed that one of these is “The Legend of Zelda.”
According to Nintendo Everything, Tabata revealed this in the Dengeki PlayStation only in response to a question of what title he would want to work with. As such, this is not a confirmation of Tabata’s possible future involvement with the franchise anytime soon. But Tabata did point out an interesting tidbit, in case his wish does become reality.
Tabata stated that one of the reasons that he wanted to work on a “The Legend of Zelda” title is to see how he can create that with his experience in the “Final Fantasy” franchise. Specifically, Tabata wanted to see what can be done with the technology and knowledge that had been gathered and created in the “Final Fantasy XV” title.
“Final Fantasy XV” will be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One. More details, especially the release date of the game, are expected to arrive on March 2016. For now, there is a playable demo for the title in the form of the “Final Fantasy XV” Episode Duscae demo, which is accessible via the first print run copies of the “Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.”
