'Final Fantasy 15' release date news: Game's Malaysian theme, possibility of online spin-off emerges

Game developer Square Enix is opening its doors to an online game planner, someone bearing "interest, curiosity, and/or experience with PC games" who could be assisting the game publisher in creating an online spin-off based on "Final Fantasy XV." VG 247 echoes the joy players have regarding the possibility, as they seem to have not liked the idea of the new title only coming to current-gen platforms. 

The job posting, first hit upon by MMO Culture, had the gaming universe in a bit of a hullabaloo, with speculations rife that an online component of "Final Fantasy XV," or at least an offshoot of the title, will be made available to PC players. This may mean that there is some co-op action in the offing or an MMO game could be in the works. This, at the moment, is still unsubstantiated. 

Meanwhile, Square Enix has let slip some other particulars about "Final Fantasy XV" in the Comic Fiesta event, Youth Health Magazine reported. The media outlet stated that Malaysian culture will be a big deal in the game. The fictional city of Lestallum is allegedly made to look like Kuala Lumpur and players will get to choose sumptuous meals from the Malaysian menu. It cited teh tarik, satay and roti canai as some of the food. Apparently, game character Ignis will be tasked to set up the meals in the campground. While on the subject of camping, players are required to camp to level up. 

In real time, the day and night cycle will run for an hour — 45 minutes of daylight and 15 minutes of nighttime. Along with the cycle comes a "unique weapon system," where each member can show off their move sets unique to them. 

With all these fine points made known, there are still so many details left to discover. That includes the release date. However, many already anticipate seeing "Final Fantasy XV" this year. The demo version of the game called "Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" is to be rolled out to PS4 and Xbox One on March 17.
