New exciting details have been unveiled regarding the fifteenth installment of the highly popular "Final Fantasy" video game series, which includes the anticipated extended gameplay for "Final Fantasy XV" and the resolution of the upcoming game which will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

"Final Fantasy XV" director Hajime Tabata shared the latest information in an interview with the Japanese magazine Famitsu via Gear Nuke, revealing that the video game has undergone further changes and development before coming up with a final gameplay. According to Tabata, "Final Fantasy XV" was originally planned to have 40 hours for the story, but after the final touches in the game, it will now take 50 hours for the players to complete the main game campaign mode of "Final Fantasy XV."

However, there were no mentions regarding the target resolution of their team for "Final Fantasy XV," though Tabata said that more information will be revealed in the coming week, including the resolution details.
