In a special message to the Steam community, director Hajime Tabata revealed that the PC version of Final Fantasy XV was not ported from consoles but rather built from the ground up, and that it is a generation ahead of the console version that was released in 2016.
As Tabata said, the team is currently squeezing out every available second to complete the game. He then asked PC gamers to wait a bit longer and confirmed that the Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition was built from the ground up just for the PC, and that – as a result of that – it is a generation ahead of what Square Enix delivered on consoles.
Final Fantasy XV will be released on March 6th. It will receive a simultaneous worldwide release, meaning that the actual time will vary depending on your timezone.
