eh I mean theoretically V13 sounded cool, but what is the point? It was such a non-starter of a project that we were never going to get it anyway.

Complaining at these lost ideas is ultimately fruitless... it was either 15 or nothing. V13's concepts could be used in a future title. Probably the best you can hope for... maybe a new IP

 

if V13 was such a non-starter of a project, then how did FFXV get started.

seriously though, I wish Nomura stayed on the project, but he is working on FFVIIR, and I couldn't be happier lol

Versus 13 could have been done to be a late release on the PS3, but SE was so unorganized during that time. They kept taking Nomura's team away from him to work on other projects that other teams couldn't seem to get finished.  Even if they switched to PS4, if he had retained his team, they probably would have been able to launch this year, as well.  Ah well, I suppose I have a Nomura developed FF7 to look forward to.
