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.
Development of Final Fantasy XV
Two notable limited time events were developed for the game. The "Moogle Chocobo Carnival", a carnival event with minigames themed around the "Final Fantasy" series Chocobo and Moogle mascots, ran from January to February 2017. The Carnival was brought back between July to August of that year. From August 2017 to January 2018, the game featured a collaboration with Ubisoft title "Assassin's Creed Origins", with a story quest and special accessories themed after the game. A particular item which unlocked a themed costume during the event was offered during the second Chocobo Carnival. The collaboration also saw elements from "Final Fantasy XV" included in "Assassin's Creed Origins". A later notable collaboration was a free playable mission featuring Noctis teaming up with Sarah, the protagonist of the Mistwalker-developed "Terra Wars". The mission released alongside accessories for "Comrades" themed after "Shadow of the Tomb Raider". One of the last collaborations will be one with "Final Fantasy XIV", where Noctis and his party fight the summon Garuda.
