Final Fantasy 15 was released for PS4 and Xbox One back in November 2016. The project initially started out life a decade earlier as the PS3-exclusive Final Fantasy Versus 13, although Square Enix ultimately decided to shelve this particular incarnation of the game some years back when it was around 25 percent complete. The game was then rebranded as Final Fantasy 15 and re-revealed during Sony’s E3 2013 press conference.
Despite what could have been the series’ last chance, Final Fantasy 15 performed exceptionally well at retail, becoming the fastest-selling entry in the venerated JRPG franchise to date.
