<p>Hajime Tabata, the director of <em>Final Fantasy XV</em>, has confirmed to <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-15-will-get-simultaneous-worldwide-r/1100-6429672/" target="_blank">GameSpot</a> that there will be a simultaneous worldwide release day.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-15-will-get-simultaneous-worldwide-r/1100-6429672/" target="_blank">GameSpot</a>, Tabata said the following, &#8220;This is the first time that we&#8217;ve done a packaged, standalone Final Fantasy game with a simultaneous global launch.&#8221; He went on, &#8220;The first thing we had to do was rearrange our internal structure to create something that could do that. That was the first important work on the project.&#8221;</p>
<p>Final Fantasy XV will be the first simultaneous worldwide release for the series. Previously Final Fantasy games have been released months apart. For example, <em>Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster</em> came out on December 26th, 2013 in Japan and March 18th, 2014 in North America.</p>
<p>However, this news seems to be a part of a swinging mindset for the company as Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura said in a Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX art book message, &#8220;My only regret was never releasing <em>KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX</em> overseas, so I am very pleased to now give fans everywhere a chance to play it this time in its best format&#8221; (via <a href="http://www.khinsider.com/news/Tetsuya-Nomura-s-Special-Message-Bonus-Sketch-3414" target="_blank">KHInsider</a>).</p>
<p><em>Final Fantasy XV</em> is currently in development for PS4 and Xbox One.</p>
