Meanwhile, Phil Rogers, CEO of Square Enix Americas and Europe, told Examiner that game director Hajime Tabata knows that it is important for Western gamers to embrace the game that was first revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2006. Rogers also said that Tabata would like to know the feedback from players from those parts of the world, and he is willing to adjust the game base on their needs.
The release date of "Final Fantasy XV" is still unannounced, but it is expected to be made available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime in 2016.
