The follow-up to Final Fantasy XIII and the continuation of the Fabula Nova Crystallis saga, Final Fantasy XV was announced by Square Enix at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2013, revealing to fans that the long-await Final Fantasy versus XIII had now become Final Fantasy XV.

Many have argued that the Final Fantasy series has lost its way of late, with the stumble-out-the-gates disaster of FFXIV and the lackluster reception to the initial installment in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series, Final Fantasy XIII, there were signs that this was true. Hopefully, with the restoration of Final Fantasy versus XIII as the new title, Final Fantasy XV, the series is able to restore that must-have status its games once held.
