He won me over in the openning paragraph
"the first decision we made was to make sure that FFXV would have a complete, coherent story in one game."
Its certainly a shame we won't see Nomura's full vision but I also can't fault Tabata for addressing issues he saw in the project. At the end of the day if Nomura did his job we would have had the game in 2011, we also have no idea whether these narrative changes are good or bad.
" We went from a darkish final fantasy feat. a pretty cool protag and an evenly strong, contrasting female protag, all with supposedly strong romeo/juliet influences to boyband roadtrip complete with strong bromance and now, newly included, fangirl #1 luna."
How has Noctis changed other then his clothes? The boyband was already an essential part of the game before Tabata took over, they were the only characters we ever saw as playable. We've literally only seen one shot of Luna and in the previous iteration we only saw 2 scenes of stella.
Tonally we can't we really compare the two seeing as 90% of what was shown from versus was from the same scenario and 90% of what we've seen from XV is from episode duscae and the laviathan attack (both having different tones). Any 40 hour plus game is going to shift in tone as they progress and during different set pieces.
The only thing I'm certain of is that I would have liked to take control of the other members. Also I prefered their previous costumes but I'm sure Nomura is responsible for the new ones too. Its 2015 would be nice for the game to have optional costumes along the way lol
