The title began its existence as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which began development in 2006. Tetsuya Nomura (Kingdom Hearts franchise, The World Ends With You) devised the original concept for the game and created the initial character designs. The project, which was originally intended to be part of the “Fabula Nova Crystallis” sub-franchise, was rebranded as a main-line Final Fantasy title in 2012 and saw development shifted to eighth generation platforms.
The game saw numerous delays and rebuilds, trapping progress at the 20-25% mark prior to its rebranding as Final Fantasy XV. Hajime Tabata (Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy Type-0) signed on as a co-director with Nomura until 2014, when he assumed total control over development.
Final Fantasy XV will be released in a standard edition, as well as a Deluxe version and a limited Ultimate Collector’s Edition. The Deluxe version, priced at $89.99, includes a steelbook case, a copy of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, and three DLC items:
