Zitat von Tabata
"To explain how I'm going about trying to get new people into 15, very simply: I'm trying to go back to the roots of Final Fantasy."
[...]
"There's not actually a great deal of people who have been following Final Fantasy all the way from 7"
[...]
"Really, I feel a big need to make 15 a game you can play and enjoy even if you haven't played any of the other games."
[...]
"Recently," says Tabata, "it's maybe been a bit stylised, very niche, hard to get into. I want to move away from that and get these kinds of universal, unchanging themes that resonate with everyone."
[...]
"We hope that people who don't know Final Fantasy see the image of King Regis," says Tabata of the older man in his trailer, "see the expression and emotion on his face, and say 'Yeah, there's something interesting in there, something I want to see.'"
[...]
"You look at all the elements of Final Fantasy that make up its identity over the generations, and obviously many of those are very useful, meaningful things. But there are some that have been used many times which may be turning off new people. We've really got to go through and ask 'are they necessary?' and be proactive about cutting out the ones that stop people coming into the franchise."
