Final Fantasy 15 - Remake
The Issue
After 10 or so years of rife development, the game is unfinished. Many questions unanswered that left bitter aftertaste for many ‘Fans and First-Timers’.
The development of the game itself as a whole divided between an anime, a full-feature length movie and 5 DLCs spanning 3+ years after it’s initial release with of the DLC not considered as being ‘canon’. All of which can be very daunting in catering not only First-Timers, but also Fans alike, especially in the Western market whereby people are used to playing the narrative of the game packaged within itself, without needing to research over articles for Who? What? When? And Why?
In reading interview articles by Yosuke Matsuda, the decision to expand the world of Final Fantasy 15 in different mediums by way of Anime and Movie was solely because of a struggle in the IP’s “lack of Brand Recognition”. (Hajime Tabata - Game Informer)
So what exactly is the story of Ardyn? If there is truth in Episode Ardyn, is there also truth in Episode Aranea, Luna and Noctis that was only revealed in the book?
The cancellation of the DLCs due to the Director Hajime Tabata, resigning is also point of contest as of the 8.9 million sold, probably less than 1/3 of those would know. With many more in the online community scrapping the game for being ‘rushed’ and full of plotholes.
The development team of Final Fantasy 15 was also known to have had mixed feelings on this decision.
As this game’s narrative differs that of the previous mainline Final Fantasy games, about fighting against one’s destiny and forging one’s own path, it considerably became more of an importance to fully flesh out the game’s full narrative.
So in light of this, to all fans and first-timers who rode a roadtrip of a lifetime with Noctis, Prompto, Gladiolus and Ignis who strongly feels that their brotherhood is worth a lot more than this unfinished masterpiece, I urge to support this petition so that Square Enix develops a remake or a Definitive Edition in line for Final Fantasy 15’s 10th Anniversary - November 29 2026. It doesn’t have to be slotted for that exact date, but an aim to have a development team for it by then.
- Character Development
- EOS expanded (Altissia/Gralea)
- Definitive Story (Possibly a choice of an ending)
Show Square Enix that Final Fantasy 15 is beloved and will at least be profitable for them too!
To quote Square Enix CEO, Yosuke Matsuda:
“If it’s a popular series, we want to revive the series regardless of what the profitability looks like on individual titles”.
