Yes and No. I Remember reading in one of tabata's interview about the change, he said that square wanted to make changes in the way final fantasy games are developed, like eliminating hierarchy withing the team (refering it to as Final Fantasy Diseases) and also make the story which was spanning over three games to be told in one single entry. So I assume it was tabata's decision to axe out the story of Insomnia invasion and dumb down levianthan fight, and the strange thing is that both of those sequence were up and running and were demoed in 2013. So in the process of condesing the story tabata took this short cut, instead of giving us 70+ hr game he made a 25 hrs game. Also I loved Luna, but she was downplayed tremendously which only goes to show that stella's story arc was so essential to the story line that the final image (if u have finsihed the game) just completely loose its impact and falls apart. The bottomline is I think Nomura and Nojima story was more focused on love story, and tabata is focused on Friendship. |
Tabata didn't write the story of FF XV. Saori Itamuro wrote the scenario based on the original draft by Nojima. And according to Shimomura herself: "The basic scenario and story concepts haven't changed that much. They're quite similar to what they were originally. There have been some changes, small scenario tweaks and the game's functionality itself has changed."
There's so much bullshit being spread left and right about the production of the game. Yet nobody know a single thing about what changes were truly made, when they were made, and who made them. And people also talk as if Tabata did everything himself. He's the director, but that doesn't mean he is the only creative force behind and driving the game. -____-
