For the first time ever, Square Enix will be hosting a Reddit AMA starring Final Fantasy XV & Final Fantasy Type-0 HD director Hajime Tabata. The AMA starts at 10.00am PST / 1.00pm EST / 6.00pm GMT on January 23rd, 2015. Square Enix PR team reminded us that the public interview will be focussing on Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and the director will be answering questions related to that game. Final Fantasy XV questions are acceptable, but the team hopes we could focus on Final Fantasy Type-0 HD this time because we can discuss about Final Fantasy XV once the Episode Duscae demo is out. Perhaps we will have better questions to ask around that time too. We will be sharing links to REDDIT interview thread once it’s available.
