Oh my aren't you clever

It's the same damn difference man. Just because a game has a fragmented development cycle and undergoes some changes, including the name, after several years doesn't mean it's not all part of said dev cycle. Or are you trying to tell me that whatever work was done on Versus was completely tossed in the trash and has absolutely no roots in the groundwork of what is now XV? Because I assure you that is far from the case.


They started from scratch for FFXV. Tabata mentioned this. No asset from the game Versus 13 is used in FFXV aside from concept art, character design and most of the story. 

Not because they already had some development done in Versus does not mean they can show the same progress in FFXV. Besides, TGS just started and more FFXV footage will be shown this Saturday as scheduled.

Concept art, character design, story and all those types of things take up an immense amount of time when one looks at a game's whole development cycle. When developers tell you that they spent say 5 years developing a game, 1-2 of those are usually spent laying exactly the creative groundwork you just mentioned. So, different assets or no, XV is unquestionably a continuation of whatever work was done on Versus.


Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of the game. My only point was their last two trailers, at Gamescom and that opening TGS one now, are unnecessarily tension building when all the FF fans have plenty tension enough over this game already lol. We're ready for some fireworks. At least I am
