To kick off this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix debuted a breathtaking new trailer for its anticipated RPG, Final Fantasy XV. Though impressive, the trailer isn’t the only news about the game at TGS. There’s a demo coming in the near future, and the title has swapped directors since we last heard about it.
In an official statement, Square commented that the move “allows Tetsuya Nomura to focus his full efforts as the director of other highly anticipated titles, including Kingdom Hearts III.” Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda added the following.
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.

Want to get your hands on the demo? Your best bet is to grab Final Fantasy Type-0 when it releases on March 17th, which includes a packed-in copy of the demo entitled Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae. Presumably, digital copies will have access as well, or perhaps the demo will be made available separately at a later time. Regardless, whether you choose PS4 or Xbox One, you should be able to enjoy Square’s sneak peak.
