Not as bad as you think.  You gotta remember, they raided Nomura's entire dev team to finish Final Fantasy XIII and probably Lightning Returns.  Nomura was working with a skeleton team working on concepts since they couldn't do much else.  Scrapping the work on the world map on the other hand, that probably hurt.


Scrapping the work on the world map? 

What do you mean?

What he had achieved on the PS3, it didn't get scrapped. Not everything could be ported as is, but it's not like they had to start from scratch. -__-

Gameplay concepts wouldn't have taken much to create.  Getting the world map running on the PS3 would have taken quite a bit of effort from a technical standpoint.  All of it would have been scrapped since you have different technologies to work with on the PS4 and better ways to do it.
