I videoen nedenfor snakker vi med Final Fantasy XV-regissør Hajime Tabata ved Square Enix' E3-bås. I tillegg til å snakke om spilldesign hadde vi også noen spørsmpl knyttet til maskinvare, spesielt med tanke på de oppgraderte konsollene vi har i vente. Tabata trakk frem samarbeidet med Microsoft, og kunne fortelle at selskapet hadde påvirket spillet til å bli mer mainstream enn Square Enix først hadde tenkt:
"First of all, to do with how we work with Microsoft, it's been a very big learning experience actually, we've learned a lot working with Microsoft. Because traditionally we very much do all Final Fantasy from terms about traditional fan base, for the existing fans, but when we were talking with them and discussing with them then they said 'well we really want to work together looking at a much wider audience, and appeal out to a much broader section of gamers'. So our whole approach really was informed by those discussions with Microsoft".
Han la også til at de ikke har tenkt til å utnytte eksempelvis Xbox One S sin HDR for å gjøre noe med lyset i spillet, så vi antar at det vil bli den samme opplevelsen uansett hvilken konsoll du skaffer spillet til:
"Obviously with the new version of the Xbox One - I'm not sure exactly of the capabilities of it myself, I haven't heard all the information about it, so I want to get that information first and have a good study of it before then looking at it and thinking ok what we can do next with that"
