Yusuke Naora se une al desarrollo de FF XV y Kitase deja definitivamente el proyecto:

Cita:Long-time Final Fantasy series artist Yusuke Naora joins the ever evolving behemoth that is Final Fantasy XV, according to several outlets present at last weekÔÇÖs Final Fantasy X|X-2 gallery event. Naora ÔÇô whose resume of works includes the likes of Final Fantasy VII, VIII and X ÔÇô most recently worked on Final Fantasy Type-0 and joins Hajime Tabata as yet another new face to helm the FFXV project.

Details on his specific involvement remain sparse, but itÔÇÖs likely heÔÇÖll be joining art directors Tomohiro Hasegawa and Takayuki Ohtachi in some capacity.

On a separate note, it looks like Yoshinori Kitase has been officially removed from the project despite his name being originally attached to it as far back as 2008. Kitase notes that he is trying to get a new, separate project started up him himself.

Hombre, si era algo que empezó Nomura... si el tenía el proyecto del FF13 (como productor), casi que mejor que el 15 se lo deje terminar a Nomura después de tantos años, y que empiece con otro proyecto, que molaría que fuese otra cosa distinta a FF.
