Final Fantasy XV will be out sooner than later if Square Enix’s recent plans prove true, but in the meantime, the game appears to be getting a helping from the makers of Just Cause 3.
An interview between Final Fantasy XV‘s Hajime Tabata with Japanese gaming site Famitsu (as translated by Famitsu) reveals that the two studios aim to make the long-awaited JRPG a collaborative work.
“We don’t have any knowhow when it comes to that, so during this year’s GDC we spoke with them, and they also showed some interest in the technology behind Final Fantasy XV, so the talks continued from there, and now I’ve been given the permission to make it public just today,” Tabata said to Famitsu. “This is something that barely started out, but it’s something of which both the Final Fantasy XV team and Avalanche Studio team have very high expectations.
The director spoke further on a possible addition of the series’ classic airships, musing that it’s something that Final Fantasy XV could see as DLC sometime down the line.
“My personal goal is to implement airships that can fly around in full-scale,” Tabata went on to say. “I’m not certain whether we’ll be able to make it on time for the retail release, but I think we should do even if it means releasing it after as a download. I’d like to have the challenge of being able to fly around the world. I would like to experience that, and I’m sure the fans would also like to experience that, too.
As of this Gamescom, Tabata recently pegged Final Fantasy XV for release before 2017. Should it release by then, it’ll be for Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
