It has been known that makers of the Final Fantasy franchise, Square Enix has changed the title of Final Fantasy XIII to Final Fantasy XV during an announcement last 2013 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
The release date for the much anticipated game has then been kept pushing back due to rumored back-end issues. According to Christian Post,
"The release date for the newly renamed title was placed somewhere in March 2015 when Square Enix announced that their focus was in developing the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 remake. The HD remake of the game is set for a 2014 release. Alongside Final Fantasy XV, the company is also developing the third title in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Co-creator of the Kingdom Hearts game, Tai Yasue, ensured that development for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 wasn't getting in the way of the development of either the next Final Fantasy title or the Kingdom Hearts title. 'We've been working full throttle. It's moving along,' Yasue told GameInformer. 'We structure our team in a way that development of 2.5 doesn't impede Kingdom Hearts III. I'm actually very excited about Kingdom Hearts III.'
While the makers have assured fans that the Final Fantasy XV release will not be affected by the production of the Kingdom of Hearts game, fans are still wary whether or not it will be released anytime soon. However, although the game had another schedule of being released in the holidays of 2014, Square Enix has reportedly confirmed that the release will be on early 2015 instead, assuring fans that this will be the last push-back, and that they are are assuring the long wait to be worth it.
This is in lieu of the response from fans of the previous releases from the company, which did not really sound good.
