Hajime Tabata stated before that "Final Fantasy XV" is 60 percent complete during an interview with IGN.
“It’s about 60% now. People may look at that and say ‘well, you’ve only done five more percent!’ [since 55% in September] but it’s actually a lot more complicated than that,” Tabata said to IGN. “I think we’re looking at a much faster development in the near future.
