| Nem said: To clear, i said "almost" nothing. As in, the project advanced so slow that much work didnt get done in 6 years. Of course, we can speculate how they have shuffled their resources, but we just can't know for sure. But, i am pretty sure that the Kingodm hearts series has a different development team as its the Osaka team that handled it. Actually its the KH team that is working on the HD remasters atm aswell as KH3. They obviously dont cross over with FFXV as both are in development simultaneously (if we believe what squeenix says). Have to add that XV was created as Versus. The point of this was to have 2 teams competing to make the best title in the XIII series. It wouldnt really make much sense to cross teams there. I am pretty sure that around the time Lighting returns was announced they said that it didnt cross development with XV, so it wouldnt affect its release. I dont know why all this fuss though. Its obvious they are underperforming when a game is in development for 6 years and it isnt out yet. I dont understand what was so shocking about me remarking that, but oh well. :) Oh, you had a polite answer VXIII. I will gladly keep debating the issue with you on my wall or something. I dont want to post on this thread anymore. |
The Osaka and Tokyo's development studios merged in 2010 to form the 1st Production Department. The teams in charge of the Fabula Nova Crystallis, Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts are all collectively referred to as this single 1st Production Department. And the structure you're alluding to hasn't been in place since at least 2007. So yeah... It doesn't work like you assume anymore.
As for your claim that "The point of this was to have 2 teams competing to make the best title in the XIII series"... Really... You read the word Versus and assume you know everything about what it means? Nomura said that the conept and thinking behind the game was unfitting for a regular numbered Final Fantasy installment. The word Versus was used to express a change of direction for the series. Not as a "this title VS this other title". In latin, the word Versus means "to change/alter" or "to turn around". -___-
