'Final Fantasy 15' will be released simultaneously worldwide

In an interview with GameSpot.com, director Hajime Tabata revealed that "Final Fantasy XV" will be launched across all regions simultaneously.

New director Tabata will oversee the first standalone Final Fantasy title to launch everywhere at the same time: previous games have been released in Japan months before their worldwide launches.

Tabata explained to GameSpot, "This may be something that we are little bit embarrassed to talk about, but really, this is the first time that we've done a packaged, standalone Final Fantasy game with a simultaneous global launch (..). The first thing we had to do was rearrange our internal structure to create something that could do that. That was the first important work on the project."

The last time a main Final Fantasy title was released was in November 2013, in Japan. It took another three months for the game, "Lightening Returns: Final Fantasy XIII," to be sold globally.
