Tabata si dimette da Luminous Productions, cancellati i DLC di FFXV
Chiunque si fosse sintonizzato sul canale di Square per il Final Fantasy XV Special Second Anniversary si aspettava forse un programma diverso. Nonostante gli annunci di una nuova versione di MULTIPLAYER COMRADES e di un tie-in in collaborazione con Final Fantasy XIV, una delle notizie annunciate all'Anniversary ha fatto storcere un po' il naso
Hajime Tabata, director di FFXV e CEO di Lunimous Productions, ha rassegnato le sue dimissioni da Luminous e Square-Enix. Questo è il messaggio ufficiale trasmesso durante il programma.CITAZIONETo Everyone Watching the Program,
Hello, this is Tabata.
It’s almost going to be 2 whole years since the release of FFXV.
I honestly believe the reason we were able to get this far is because of all you loyal fans.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Today, I have a personal announcement to make to all of you.
I, Hajime Tabata, will be resigning from Luminous Productions and the Square Enix Group as of October 31, 2018.
I was able to gain so much experience with my time at Square Enix.
Every title I was able to be a part of means a lot to me. However, FFXV stood out from that group as it was a special project for me which I went all-in.
Therefore, I decided to take this opportunity to officially announce my departure from FFXV to all the fans who have supported the title across the globe.
In regards to my next endeavors and near future, I have a project that I truly wish to solidify as my next challenge after FFXV. For that reason, I have decided to leave my current position and start my own business in order to achieve my goal.
As production of Episode Ardyn continues and Luminous Productions works on new projects, I felt that it was time for me to hand over the torch to the next generation group of talented and trustworthy colleagues and believe that they will create something amazing.
From this day on, I will cheer on and support Square Enix and Luminous Productions together with all you fans.
I would like to thank everyone who continue to support FFXV and those who have also supported myself personally.
Hajime Tabata
Secondo il rapporto trimestrale pubblicato da Square, la rilocazione di Luminous verso "lo sviluppo di titoli AAA a grande scala" ha portato alla cancellazione di vari progetti della sussidiaria, causando una perdita di circa 33 milioni di dollari.
Le dimissioni di Tabata e la rilocazione di Luminous Productions hanno avuto un impatto sui futuri DLC per Final Fantasy XV. "Episode Ardyn" sarà rilasciato a Marzo 2019 come da programma, preceduto da un "EPISODE ARDYN PROLOGUE". Gli altri episodi riguardanti Aranea, Lunafreya e Noctis sono stati invece cancellati.. -

Il DLC su Lunafreya mi incuriosiva, ma forse è meglio così... . -

Non sono un grandissimo fan dei DLC, ma mi spiace per Tabata. .
