Final Fantasy XV has had a very troubled development. It's been two completely different games, it's been in development for 10 years, and it has been delayed countless times (even after holding an event that would reveal the final release date). The development has gone so poorly that Square Enix has only been focusing on a PS4 and Xbox One version with a PC version being a complete after thought. Square just wants to get the game out the door and they may come back and bring it over to PC.
In a new interview, director Hajime Tabata stated that if the game were to live on PC, it would take over a year to develop. (The following quote is a rough translation from the interview.) “Not talking about something real, just an idea, if we worked on a PC version of what I have very clear in mind is that we would work to provide a better version of what we have now on consoles. We could say that something like this would take us more than a year. We should work to adapt the engine, which is very laborious, and from there to develop its course.”
Hopefully PC players will be able to enjoy the game in the near future as everyone has already had to wait an incredible amount of time.
Final Fantasy XV is set to release on Xbox One and PS4 on November 30th, 2016.
