Square Enix will be at ComicFiesta 2014, which is a Malaysian expo focusing on video games, anime, manga and cosplaying. The company hasn’t revealed their line-up yet, but Final Fantasy XV developers such as the producer Shinji Hashimoto and the lead game designer Wan Hazmer will be there.
Since ComicFiesta will be arranged on 27th December – a week after Jump Festa 2015 – it is very likely they will be showing the same footage, which we will be seeing this weekend. However, the developers may be explaining more about the development and revealing interesting details behind the Final Fantasy XV technology, Luminous Engine.
ComicFiesta wrote an introduction text about Hashimoto and Weizer. We recommend reading it if you aren’t familiar with them already.
