Final Fantasy XV was released barely a couple of weeks yet the Internet is already flooded with a lot of information about it. There are also some pervading questions that run inside the minds of fans. One of them is the story behind the title.
Final Fantasy XV is, well, the 15th installment in the series. This makes fans question how did Square Enix ever come up with the title. Those who already know the story behind this game will say this stuff is made of legends.
There are actually two versions to the story that surround the Final Fantasy legend. One of those stories say that Hironobu Sakaguchi, director of Final Fantasy, would quit Square because he was going back to college. The other one was that Square was going bankrupt so the game was going to be their last.
Composer Nobuo Uematsu confirmed in an interview with Wired that Sakaguchi was indeed going back to college but that was not reason enough to create a final game. He said that Square Enix already hit rock bottom at that time and ready to close down. Final Fantasy was their final curtain call before moving out of the limelight. It can be compared to Nintendo's move of creating the Nintendo Switch as their last attempt to capture the console market.
At that time, the designers at Square thought it would be their final game and decided that Final Fantasy would be their swan song. Turned out they were wrong and their hard work paid off because it became the company's milk machine not to mention the longest series.
Meanwhile, reports have already confirmed that 5 million of Final Fantasy XV copies were sold on its first day. And it looked like the PS4 wins against Xbox in terms of this one. PS4 sales of the game in the UK alone amount to 79 percent compared to Xbox's 29 percent.
It has been such a long time before PS4 had a win against Xbox. Even during the recently concluded Black Friday sale had Microsoft's console as the winner. So, it's not just a good day for FFXV fans but for PS4 fans as well.
