To say that Final Fantasy XV had been in development for a long, long time would be one hell of an understatement. It was first announced as in development all the way back in 2006 but due to various issues constantly kept being either reworked or delayed.
So I hope you understand now how big the recent announcement that Final Fantasy XV will definitely be coming in 2016 really is. Here's the full announcement message from FFXV's director:

Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Mod was an incredible piece of work that took the modding team years to get to a functioning state but once it was there it turned out to be really, really fun in that special Just Cause 2 sort of a way.
Luckily for us it would appear that the engine Just Cause 3 runs on is very similar to the old one because the modding team behind JC2MP has already come out with a teaser trailer showcasing seemingly flawless Just Cause 3 multiplayer.
