Final Fantasy Type-0
While working on "Final Fantasy XV", Tabata decided to make a high-definition remaster of "Type-0" for eighth-generation consoles. Developed by Square Enix and HexaDrive, "Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" was originally announced at E3 2014, and released worldwide in March 2015. After "Type-0"s release, Tabata stated in an interview that he wished to explore the distant history of Orience after the events of the game. Trademarks for "Type-1", "Type-2" and "Type-3" were registered shortly after the "Type-0" trademark, but it was suggested that they were simply a protective measure. During interviews given in 2014, Tabata commented that he wished to work on "Type-1" after completing "XV", and later explained the conceptual "Type" series as a means of publishing "Final Fantasy" games too experimental for the main series. He hoped to continue with the "Type" series if "Type-0 HD" was commercially successful.
List of Final Fantasy media
A large number of spin-off video games have also been made for the "Final Fantasy" series. These spin-off games vary in their relation to the main series; the first, "The Final Fantasy Legend" games, were marketed as related in North America but were considered to be the first three games of the "SaGa series" in their native Japan, and later "SaGa" games released outside Japan bear no "Final Fantasy" branding. "Dissidia Final Fantasy", on the other hand, is a fighting game using characters from the main series exclusively. Overall, more than 30 games have been released as spin-offs of the main "Final Fantasy" series, many within their own sub-series.
