Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

In a recent interview , Director Hajime Tabata disclosed that there will be shocking moments and brutal scenes in. After his work on, Tabata feels this level of detail is necessary to accurate express the emotions in a given scene.

While discussing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Tabata explained, "I learned that if I wanted to show some deep emotions and the internal struggle of a fight, I had to use this kind of gory expressions and these visceral things. And that links in a way to the first scene of Final Fantasy Type-0, which has really a similar kind of expression. So these things I learned were integrated into Final Fantasy Type-0." In turn, these lessons have directed the development of Final Fantasy XV.

But those faint of heart need not worry, the development team has discussed having a menu where players can adjust the amount of blood or even DLC that could potentially change the game's rating.

In other news, the demo Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae that is included with the first print copies of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD will be 5GB and will be coming to both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

There is no announced release date for Final Fantasy XV.
