Final Fantasy XV director talks Pocket Edition for PCs, Windows 10 Mobile development struggles, and more

We sat down director on Final Fantasy XV, Hajime Tabata, to discuss the future of Final Fantasy on Windows-based mobile and PCs.

After over ten years in the making, last year marked the release of Final Fantasy XV – the latest iteration the renowned role-playing series from Square Enix. Following a release on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the game emerged as one of the best RPGs of 2016 – with an upgraded re-release for Windows PC currently expected in 2018.

At Gamescom 2017, the game's publisher also debuted a somewhat unexpected future for Final Fantasy XV, with the unveiling of a condensed version of the game made for mobile devices. Although the game is being reworked with a cute chibi-esque art style, on the surface, Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition looks to contain nearly the same depth as the full-fledged console version. An interesting premise nevertheless – especially for those drawn toward gaming on the go.
