Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced in 2006, however internal discussion for a title change into FFXV began as early as 1-2 years following the original announcement. “By that time, a fair amount of time had already passed since the announcement and Versus was a well-known title, so it wasn’t a given that this would be XV; it could have still been Versus,” said Nomura. The final decision made after FF Agito XIII became Final Fantasy Type-0 in 2011.
