Hello, guys. So the latest issue of GamesMaster UK has released and it contains even more FFXV details from their trustworthy source. (You can view my thread about their previous FFXV details here)

Here's the full transcript:

EXCLUSIVE: Final Fantasy XV to be the biggest FF ever made. Will have been in development for 8 years when it releases worldwide in Q4 2015

It looks like the FF series is about to receive a renaissance that will once again make it one of the most prized franchises in gaming. We have provided details about FFXV in the past, but we have come to understand the game will no longer be revealed this year as part of the FF 25th Anniversary. This new info comes from our trustworthy source who tells us, "The announcement of the game has been delayed so as to not take interest away from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Further information about Final Fantasy Versus XIII has also been delayed for this reason."

Our source provided further details about FFXV but stated that this would be the last bit of info they would provide. FF fans will have to wait until the game is revealed to get more info on the game (or determine if any of this is true). Anyway, we've conveniently listed everything we've been told about the game below:

1. The project began in December 2007.
2. It entered full production in January 2010, a month after FFXIII was released in Japan. 
3. The development team is currently at just over 200 people. However, it is being planned to hit 800 (400 internal staff and 400 contracted) from the end of 2012 until it goes Gold.
4. The game design and battle system will be a major evolution of FFXII.
5. Every enemy has different body parts that can be targeted, similar to Vagrant Story. As a result, each battle has become a puzzle of attacking specific body parts in a certain order.
6. The Gambit system has returned and been dubbed "Gambits 2.0"
7. The game will have a world size on par with Skyrim. It will also have a minimum of five major cities that are each the same size as the cities in Assassin's Creed. These cities are filled with crowds of NPCs and you can enter almost every building in them.
8. The art direction is said to be Baroque. There will be ridiculously detailed and ornate art almost everywhere. The game will have the largest art team that has ever worked on a Square Enix game when it reaches 800 people. There will 500 of these 800 people working on art assets for the architecture and interior designs alone.
9. We've been told that the art has already reached a stage where it's like the interior of the Palace of Versailles. (Imagine this in real-time)
10. Yoichi Wada (president of Square Enix) wants this game to show that Japan can still make the best RPGs in the world.
11. The game was originally going to be announced at E3 2011 and then released worldwide on the exact same date as the FF 25th Anniversary (December 18, 2012). However, the failure of FFXIV made Square Enix management delay the game until they could release an improved version of FFXIV.

Would make no sense. By 2015, all three new consoles will be out. No reason to stick to just PS360 along with the Wii U. U/Orbis/Durango would be the only option at that point.

woah woah woah, a final fantasy game shown then released a year later? what it this? 1997?

Exactly what I was thinking. Can't believe they managed to keep this secret this long. When they announce it, it will have been in development for 7 years. 

as much of a made up rumour this is. it is definitely feasible ff 15 is reasonably into developement and was heldback by ff 14 debacle

Its not the first time we hear about this rumor. I believe it to be true, but i dont believe the game will be released that late. 2014 would be more believable.

FFXV could be FFVersusXIII. Just think about the delays and add the fact we have no information about the game...plus, early this year, rumors about it appeared.

Why would they delay good games, and repair bad games? Oh wait its Square Enix since 2006.

No way it is releasing 2015 for PS3/360, unless there are PS4/720 versions too.

Good news if true, I won't play any sequels of XIII the thing left a bad taste in my mouth, and if it releases in WiiU that would be lovely.
