While Square Enix have today announced some fantastic news and highly anticipated trailers, the company has also announced a couple of changes regarding the development team for both Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III – two of the company’s most highly anticipated games.

Hajime Tabata, director of Final Fantasy Type-0 will now serve as the director of Final Fantasy XV, with the game purportedly nearing its completion. This however means that Tetsuya Nomura, who has been with the project from Day #1, will be moving away from Final Fantasy XV, instead focusing all his attention on Kingdom Hearts III. While it is a shame to hear that Nomura will not see his most ambitious project right through to the end, let’s hope that this means that the development of Kingdom Hearts III will be sped up significantly.

In reviewing our development structure, we have decided to assign Hajime Tabata as the new director for FINAL FANTASY XV. Currently, Tabata and the entire development team are working, whole-heartedly, towards completing the production of FINAL FANTASY XV and ensuring the delivery of the highest quality FINAL FANTASY title to date. We invite every one of our fans to view the fruits of our labor through FINAL FANTASY XV’s demo, and promise to present a game that further surpasses expectations when the finished product is released.

As the director of FINAL FANTASY XV, Tetsuya Nomura has mainly worked on the original concept for the story and universe in addition to creating the characters. Hereafter, he will be focusing his efforts on the production of titles that can only be made possible by Nomura, himself, and delivering products that exceed the quality of past titles, starting with another one of his representative projects, KINGDOM HEARTS III. Square Enix will continue to work on these titles with the best staff formation in an effort to deliver them to everyone as soon as possible and appreciates your continued support.
