Tabata has made it clear time and time again, he's not interested in doing a direct Sequel
to Final Fantasy XV. And fair enough. The game had a proper conclusion with no real
cliff hangers, and would require some pretty questionable writing to continue it's plot.
Not to mention with all the DLC that's currently planned for the game, with monthly updates fleshing out the game's story
I don't think there's a need for XV-2. However, its recently been revealed that he's
actually not all that opposed to doing a Prequel about a highly fan favorite character: Ardyn.
Recently at Gamescom there was a Final Fantasy XV event entitled Episode Cologne: A King's
Night. That's Night as in night time. Or The Night Sky Prince. Thanks to Tumblr user Osahirao who attended
event was able to transcribe some the questions asked there, particularly doing this event,
Tabata was very open while speaking about the future of Final Fantasy XV. When it was
asked who won the survey, it was Ardyn's back story in first place, with Lunafreya's
backstory being a second place. But here's where things get interesting:
"It was Ardyn's backstory that the majority voted for - so we clearly got the message
he's the person fans want to know more about. We're not sure as of yet how we'll do
it though - it's a lot of story, and telling a character's story is always the most difficult
and detailed part of a game. So, we don't know yet whether we'll make it another game,
no dlc though, it would be a full game, or a movie, comic etc. We really want to tell
his story though. Second in the survey was Luna's story by the way. "
Tabata explicitly states that Ardyn's backstory is too big to be told in the style of 1-2
hour episodes like we've been getting, so much so that it'd at the very least have
to be a full game. And Let's be honest. If they go route of
making this a manga, anime or movie fans will be pretty much disappointed. It would also
make the experience more disjointed. It simply serve as more media you need to watch or read
in order to comprehend Final Fantasy XV's story.
But if it's made into it's own stand alone game, It could honestly have massive amounts
of potential. Because it would be a stand alone, it wouldn't require anything else
in Final Fantasy XV Universe in order to understand it. What we could tentatively be called Final
Fantasy XV-0, would not require you to have seen Kingsglaive, or even played the main
Final Fantasy XV game. Not only would it be great for newcomers,
but people who are still interested in Final Fantasy XV would get a lot of their questions
answered. Who was Gentiana before Shiva possessed her? What cause Ifrit's Betrayal? How did
the Lucii come to be? All of this rich lore that was seemingly missed could easily be
address with a proper Adryn prequel. If we're going to keep getting XV Universe
content, this is more along the lines of the type of things I wanna see. Not mobile cash-ins.
Not to mention they developed that expensive Luminous engine and software base of Final
Fantasy XV. By reusing and improving on things such as the combat system
it'd be possible to make a much better game than the original XV within a year and half's
time, which would was a great incentive as to why Final Fantasy X-2, XIII-2 and Lightning
Returns were developed. Although, hopefully if this game happens, it would be much better
and incomparable to those. Final Fantasy XV Universe has honestly overall
been a disappointment, and honestly, the only thing that could actually satisfy fans would
be a full reboot of the main game. In a weird way, this could be it.
We're unsure of when Sony will launch the Playstation 5, but it's bound to happen
by the year 2020 or 2021. This may not be enough time to develop Final Fantasy XVI unless
it's already current in development by another team. There's some people that speculate that
it could this hypothetical XV-0 could be a mobile game, although I personally don't
see that happening. I just...don't. It really wouldn't make any sense as a Free2Play game,
as the structure of the story wouldn't really conform well for this type of game. And I
suppose it could be an episodic game like Pocket Edition, but it wouldn't make very
much sense to create something like that due to the fact that the audience who wanted and
demanded this was the console audience that they found through console version of the game's
survey. I think its also possible that we could
we see a $30 digital-only stand alone game Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice. I honestly
wouldn't mind seeing an 8 to 10 narrative driven experience that tells Ardyn's story.
This is also a possible avenue that Tabata may take.
Although, I'm going to be honest for a moment here and just...You Guys I love Ardyn.
Where Final Fantasy XIII gave us more and more stories of characters we didn't give
a crap about, Final Fantasy XV's greatest sin was creating characters that we were all
deeply interested and gave us nothing. So what do you guys think? Do you wanna see
Final Fantasy XV-0? Or do you just think they just diesel on XV Universe and burn it? Or
are you somewhere in between where you genuinely want to see more content from XV but you just
don't want it to be disappointing? Subscribe and comment below!
Hello Everyone welcome my end slate! If you haven't seen my video on the in depth trailer
analysis of Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition, I highly recommend it. I'm also doing an
ongoing video retrospective of Final Fantasy VII, where I talk about why Square and Nintendo's
relationship got pretty rough. And honestly while doing research for that video, It really
made me aware of how bad Nintendo's company culture is with handling third parties. I
highly recommend checking that one out.
