"Final Fantasy XV will feature open-world gameplay and be comparable in size to Skyrim, the latest rumours have suggested. The unannounced Final Fantasy sequel has been in development for four years, according to GamesMaster, and will release on all current-generation consoles.   Following a two-year period of pre-production and planning, the game entered full development in 2010, after the release of Final Fantasy XIII. More than 200 people are said to be working on the title. Headed by Final Fantasy VI, IX and XII director Hiroyuki Ito, the game will apparently feature sprawling, open-world cities on par with Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed and contain more volume and content than Skyrim. The game design and battle system has also undergone a huge transformation, enabling players to target specific limbs in the same manner as Vagrant Story.      It was recently reported that spin-off Final Fantasy Versus XIII would be rebranded to become a main entry in the long-running fantasy series. The title&amp;#039;s reported E3 reveal failed to take place, however. Instead, Square Enix unveiled a Final Fantasy-themed demo of its next-generation Luminous engine. Last year Square Enix said that Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which was first announced in 2006, had yet to enter full production. Direct sequel Final Fantasy XIII-2 was released earlier this year, and was followed by regular content episodes and costumes. Final Fantasy VII, meanwhile, has been confirmed for a PC re-release later this summer. Watch Final Fantasy Versus XIII&amp;#039;s 2011 trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
