VR-based content for Final Fantasy XV was under consideration for some time. Monster of the Deep was the first VR-based video game ever developed by Square Enix. The project's initial form was a first-person shooter add-on to the main game, with a demo being created for E3 2016 around this premise. The game was changed into a fishing simulation due to the latter's higher level of immersion. While praised for its graphics and for including characters from Final Fantasy XV, the game was often called simplistic in its gameplay and glitchy in its controls.
