Final Fantasy XV: Square Enix Open to More Crossovers like Assassin’s Creed Festival

Tabata-san explained that Square Enix worked directly with the Assassin's Creed development team as part of a close collaboration to bring the content to life. This level of collaboration was enabled by the mutual respect the two development teams had for each other.

Square Enix hoped for both Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed fans to enjoy the content, and Tabata-san believes that this goal was achieved. While there is nothing else planned at the moment in terms of other collaborations or crossovers, if another chance like this appeared that could be beneficial for both sides, it's ”definitely" something the team would like to look into.

Tabata-san also shared that the trailer was revealed at a fan event at Ubisoft's booth at Gamescom, at first the Assassin's Creed fans were surprised and they weren't realizing what was going on, then they responded enthusiastically, and there were some Final Fantasy XV fans there as well, so he feels that the two fan bases overlap at least partly.

So there you have it, straight from the lion's mouth. If you're a developer and would like to cross your game over with Final Fantasy XV, the door isn't closed. Give Square Enix a call.​


Watch them do a Monster Hunter World crossover where you kill Behemoths in MH and monster hunts (no pun intended) with monsters from MH in FFXV.

I'm actually fine with stuff like this for FFXV because... STORY SPOiLERS!!!

Noctis is on a suicide mission in the game. So technically he really should embrace anything life has to offer...thats why I support Noct getting more good memories
 
I want Square Enix to make a small patch with no notes, then when randomly playing the game you hear Emil's shop music slowly playing in the back ground and you gotta chase him around in the car and force him off the road, then he sells you rare items.
 
Crossover with Final Fantasy XIII, they can call it Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

More seriously, curious to see what's next, still have to play the Assassin's Creed Festival.
 
This reminds me I have to rebuy FFXV soon to play all the new added content.
I think it's pretty cool when games crossover, would like to see more studios/publishers open to the idea. And I agree a Monster Hunter crossover would be great.

Are Ubisoft the only western publisher that have done crossovers? Don't think of EA, Activision or Take 2 have ever done if I recall?

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

EA (Mass Effect) and FFXIII-2

Screw it, have a side quest that features Noctis and co looking for a legendary sword that, supposedly, will grant the wielder great power in the face of evil. They follow the legend to an ancient, dense forest, where the fog is so thick that it's difficult to see any more than a few feet. They have to listen, carefully, to the sounds that they hear, to follow the correct path, and find...

 
Free DLC, DISGUSTING!
But, see, it's not free. Square Enix is making money off of it, and are throwing their talented design teams and artists onto these promotional ads. In the end, we as consumers lose because instead of working on something artistically worthwhile that adds meaning to a game, they're working on ads. Yes, we don't have to 'pay' for these ads, but we are still paying for it.

People are still pushing this complete misinterpretation of the ending scene?
Maybe theyll get around to adding an episode Noctis and spell explicitly out obvious and unnecessary story there as well.

Wait, what are you talking about? Spoiler-tag, please.
 
The Witcher.

Ciri travels to the world of Final Fantasy. It's actually canon and would make for some sweet FF monster fights.

I would love this, but could get kinda disconcerting. If this continues, Square would effectively be imping on other big franchises so as to hopefully draw-in fans of those brands.

If they can make money off of this notoriously long and troubled project, then they can take more risks in the future. I think that any means by which they can make better business will be helpful in the long run.

It was weird as hell but there's also something cool to games doing a crossovers like this. Imagine Halo and Doom doing one or Witcher and Horizon.

But I guess western publishers have less incentive to do crossovers with other western publishers

Danganronpa X FFXV.


I still want a main FF set in space.
Yeah, sci-fi space opera like ME would be cool, but my dream FF would either be something like Cowboy Bebop or inspired by Giraud/Moebius and Panzer Dragoon 😍 Reposting from an old thread:

Moebius:

Actually FFX's early concept by Yusuke Naora were inspired by that:
Yusuke Naora's early concept art for Final Fantasy X was very Moebius-like:

Noctis and his gang look like a J-pop/K-pop boygroup after all, lol.
