The new "Final Fantasy XV" game might even get delayed further since the latest news about the game involves one of the main pillars of the game's creation leaving Square Enix. As such, fans are worried about the game's quality or even its release date.

According to Game N Guide, a lot of fans are seeing the "Final Fantasy XV" game as extravagant, and the creation of the title might prove to be pretty difficult. It could even become the lifelong struggle of a veteran in the gaming industry. After 24 years, the art director of the newest "Final Fantasy" title — as well as some of the other Square Enix titles — Yusuke Naora has left. As fans can remember, Naora has been one of the people responsible behind some of the most memorable "Final Fantasy" titles, as well as the upcoming game.

He has helped these games in a lot of ways, from helping with simple tasks such as graphic designing and art supervision to more complicated projects such as art direction. To further solidify the official announcement, a social media post has been made recently.

Game Spot reports that Sept. 30 was the last day of Naora as the "Final Fantasy XV" art director, and, of course, a lot of fans are pretty sad his final decision. However, his exit is hardly unexpected, since his reasons for leaving are pretty valid.

Naora might still work with Square Enix, but he will be working as an independent agent and will aid them in designing and illustrating. It is not specified whether it will be before, during, or after the release of "Final Fantasy XV."

Regardless, it seems that Square Enix has no plans of delaying the game even further, and its slated Nov. 29 release will still push through despite their loss.

"Final Fantasy XV" is going to be released for the PS4, Xbox One, and possibly the PS4 Pro.
