Fans are well aware by now that gameplay leaks of the soon-to-be-released "Final Fantasy 15" have gotten out of hand resulting in game director Hajime Tabata stepping up to somewhat control the situation. With that said, the damage control that Tabata has been doing might go up a notch as he and Square Enix are planning to take legal action.

In a recent interview with IGN, the game designer once again addressed the growing number of leaked gameplay videos appearing online. He said that they are currently looking into the scenario if it would legally compromise their business endeavors with the game. In the event that they find that they have legal ground, Tabata and his team will then be running after those who disseminated such content. He even commiserated with the fans of the game series who have waited for the longest time for "Final Fantasy 15" only to be disappointed with the plethora of spoilers.

In other related news, some who were lucky enough to be the proud owners of the game were given a treat upon purchase as the game's physical copy comes with an inlay that is scribbled with the autographs of the game's development staff including the noticeable "TBT" that is presumably from Tabata. Moreover, the background of the said inlay also comes with a message thanking the fans for patronizing the game.

Aside from this, the game will arrive alongside a so-called "day one" game expansion that contains nifty items, features, and even weapons. Reports say that the downloadable content will contain a katana blade dubbed as the "Masamune" and a "Monster Whistle" that will let players call on a monster that will fight for them during battles.

The official release date for "Final Fantasy 15" is on Nov. 29, available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gaming consoles.
