Gamescom has already revealed to us that Final Fantasy XV is coming to PC next year, and we reported on some leaked PC specs for the game as well, which indicated that the game would need a mammoth 170GB, however, director Hajime Tabata has cleared all of this up in an interview with Kotaku, revealing that all is not as it appears.
Tabata confirmed that this 170GB listing was a miscommunication, as was the whole recommended specs list. "That was a mistake, actually," he explained via a translator. "That was a communications mistake - something got put in a memo that really shouldn't have. What that is [the specifications that went out to press] based on the specs that we're running the demo on today."
"Again, the final specs for the release version haven't been fixed yet. There's a very good chance they can change. Someone put that in there and it got reported as the recommended specs, but that's not the final fixed version. The fact that it became that number is a communication [error]."
The director also explained that demo machines were running at 4K using GTX 1080 Ti cards, but the minimum specs would decrease "at least as far as the same level as the console edition, maybe looking to going even further than that in future". The frame-rate of 30FPS is also not fixed either.
