Either your joking or your completely ignorant about the development of the game.  The game taking so long was not the original team's fault, it was SE's terrible management of the staff.

You do realize that Nomura was removed as director as part of the changes to SE's development staff, right? As in, he was part of the problem. In fact, his removal and subsequent full time shift to KHIII is the only notable change at such a high level, meaning, again, he was part of the problem. Nomura has been well known in the past generation (and even two if you wanna look at the roots of this issue) for being worse than Aonuma with pacing his teams. 

 

Which all brings me back to: One game, the details of which you barely knew, was run by Nomura alone and would likely have never come out without Square's "terrible management" outright forcing him to get moving. The other, run superficially by Nomura, will actually release.

I'm sorry there's just too much wrong with your comment to even continue this.  Your gonna have to learn up on the development of the game if you want me to take you seriously.

So People who rant is from alternate dimension and played FF versus 13, but then how come they knew about FF XV story quality if they from world where FF Versus 13 is made?

My only complaint is the all male group that have a japanese goth look to 'em. I would like to be able to change party members for some female ones.

So Stella isn't even in the game? Seems a rather waste of resources.



Hmm, pie.

Imo it's controversial because the whole change has been done in a way that makes it feel like the project was hijacked to fill a void because the was nothing for an actual FFXV title. This isn't even a fan of Nomura thing as I don't care for the guy but he certainly had an interesting concept that was presented to gamers for the good part of a decade which has now been confirmed to have been thrown out.

If anything Tabata is now worse off as if him and his team don't deliver every critic will be lining up to have a field day over this especially after the whole XIII saga debacle.


What was thrown out? Did you not watch the video? Tabata is incorporating all that he can from the original story to the final version of FF XV. CHanges were made but the whole idea is the same. They just changed some of the old ideas and made something else in XV. 

The same idea and the same vision are two different things, Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are the same idea but different visions and execution so Tabata saying he is incorporating what he can can mean a number of things.

Strayed away from Nomura's vision? You mean the vision that had the game in development hell? The one that kept Noctis from having official outfit for years? Nomura had his shot at his First FF as director, and he bombed. Just like FF14, somebody has to come in a clean up the mess.... THEIR way, not old directors way.

Seriously, the age of Wada was mismanaged


Because that was clearly Nomura's fault right?

Okay, what made Stella such a wonderful character? And what makes Luna such an awful character?

Also, changes and cuts to any story is writing 101. Different drafts yield to different ideas and concepts. Some characters get cut out, some get added. Any and every story goes through this at some point.

Not to mention that Nomura's Vs XIII was intended to be a multiple game series. While Tabata's XV is intended to be a single game endeavor. Changes were going to be made regardless.

This game isnt about that so you may want to find another game.
