While Final Fantasy disease isn’t a real thing, to at least not recognized medically, it was something that happen to both fans and those working on Final Fantasy 15.
Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata spoke with Japanese site 4Gamer and mentioned the strange disease the flowed through the office.
Tabata stated that there was a backlash to him taking over the Final Fantasy brand we he joined the team back in 2012. He spoke about the negative environment from many when he took over and spoke on the so called Final Fantasy disease.
“It refers to people within the company who can’t imagine anything other than their own view of Final Fantasy,” Tabata said.
“Since the root is a strong self-affirmation, one’s own view of Final Fantasy takes more priority than the team’s success. If that view of Final Fantasy isn’t fulfilled, then they’re convinced that it’s bad for Final Fantasy.”
“They think, ‘Since Final Fantasy is a special team, then we are also special because we are making it. When the new Final Fantasy comes out, everybody is going to be so into it.’ But that’s not the reality of the situation, is it?”
Tabata continued saying,
“I realized that when Final Fantasy XV news was made public–this wasn’t only inside the company. Everyone has FF disease.”
