14 Years Ago, Final Fantasy Versus 13 Began Falling Apart and Led to Final Fantasy 15

The Final Fantasy 15 we know today – with all its strengths and weaknesses – almost didn’t happen. It started as a very different game called Final Fantasy Versus 13, intended as a PlayStation 3 exclusive action RPG directed by Tetsuya Nomura, the creator of Kingdom Hearts. However, advances in technology, combined with changes within the development team and typical challenges during game creation, led to a major overhaul. In fact, the story of how Final Fantasy 15 was made is more captivating than the game itself, offering a revealing look into the complicated process of developing a large-scale game, particularly one in a long-running series like Final Fantasy.
