Unfortunately Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata did not provide a release date for the game today at the Active Time Report from Gamescom, but just a few hours before I had a chat with him, and he provided some quite detailed information about the status of the game, explaining that the game’s development is perfectly on track.

Tabata-san explained that not only the release date has been finalized, but also when that announcement will be done is pretty much decided already. Square Enix has also already determined the timing in which all the important news will be released.

That said, the game is about 65% complete now, but more important that the number is the fact that all the plans are now solidly in place both for development and marketing. Everything is “proceeding very well” and development is on target. According to Tabata-san the game is “very much where it’s supposed to be right now.”

EDIT - I'm not talking about the 35% they haven't worked on in case people want to keep quoting this
EDITEDIT - This joke was a mistake, it is nothing but trash

Math.

Also, they went up 5% from February.

 

[OnionPowder]

Then show the other 55% of the game

Why? What if they want to keep it a secret.

People he's saying they show only 10% and he wants to see the other 55% they don't show

 

[jacobeid]

Then show the other 55% of the game

Final Fantasy always gives 120%.

 

[Escalario]

Then show the other 55% of the game

Math, not even once.

I look forward to playing this game in 20 years.

[zenosparadox]

Then show the other 55% of the game

I like the idea that somehow FFXV is going to be 120% of a game.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Was this quote before or after the ATR ended?

Why? What if they want to keep it a secret.

There's a difference between showing the entire thing and showing that you do actually have other content.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

end of 2016 Japan release MAYBE.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Then show the other 55% of the game

Troll or serious?

 

[Kriken]

Then show the other 55% of the game

Give it 120% Square-Enix

 

[Triforce141]

Then show the other 55% of the game

On disc DLC or free post launch dlc confirmed?

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

35%

...

 

[KarmaCow]

Over/under that this comes out before 2017?

 

[Various Artists]

I think he is suggesting we have only seen 10% so far. ( I hope)

 

[Imperfected]

I assume "on target" means the... what, third or fourth revision of the target timeline? I'm pretty sure the game's already missed the initial target launch by most of a decade.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

I like the idea that somehow FFXV is going to be 120% of a game.

130%

 

[madhtr]

The joke, that has been missed, was that they've only shown 10% of that 65% so far.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

9 years for 65% so 5-6 years for the other 35%

 

[Megawarrior]

I'm not convinced after today to be quite honest.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yeah, the ATR really showed that today...

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

"Fully on target" that target being 2017!!

 

[Rockk]

as long as it comes out in 2016.

 

[spindashing]

Then show the other 55% of the game

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Then show the other 55% of the game

I think he meant they have only shown us 10% of the 65% they have shown us?

Spoiler

Trying to save you man but you keep throwing me straws lol

 

[Baleoce]

I think he is suggesting we have only seen 10% so far. ( I hope)

This is what I thought too. Unless everyone else was thinking he wanted to see content that hasn't actually been created yet.

 

[Dega]

Then show the other 55% of the game

What about the other 20%?

 

[backflip10019]

aaand derailed

Fuck lol

 

[cackhyena]

Math, not even once.

Ahahahaha

 

[HeeHo]

He's referring to what little we've seen. Not the unfinished percent.

 

[omonimo]

The 35% left it's the fps optimization.

 

[Kriken]

I wonder what year in development Duke Nukem Forever reached 65%

 

[WickedLaharl]

I believe whitney houston gif goes here

 

[ShinMaruku]

Then show the other 55% of the game

Not cleared by PR. Also the 55% is variable. It could be complete but redone. This 65% is hella misleading. XD

 

[SporeCrawler]

So it took them 9 years to get to 65%

 

[skLaFarebear]

Then show the other 55% of the game

LOL

I got it, but still pretty weirdly phrased. I also like to pretend it was just bad math.

 

[Flarin]

Final Fantasy XV is 60% Finished

February 20th, 2015

So the game is on pace to release in 2022.

Please be excited.

 

[Shadow2222]

How is everyone missing the joke? Why would he be saying to show the rest of the game that hasn't been completed lol?

 

[udivision]

Math.

Also, they went up 5% from February.

So... it'll come out 3.5 years from now?

 

[CrashSimonFaye]

Then show the other 55% of the game

bruh

 

[YianGaruga]

.

 

[Slowdive]

Took them 6 months to do 5%

 

[kamakazi5]

I can't believe how many heads that went over.

 

[cackhyena]

How is everyone missing the joke? Why would he be saying to show the rest of the game that hasn't been completed lol?

I got what he was saying right away. The "math, not even once" line still got me.
