Brb, joining the Kapi-96 hate train. Who else is joining

Losing so much hype for this game...

Tabata didn't make the decision to change it, but to find a solution that would work for the transition to FF15 and PS4.

We can see if how good or bad the new character is soon. I do think you're grossly exagerrating the changes as things change often in a lot of games' development. If you knew what has been changed in other games, would you care? Square takes care of their main series and I would hope someone who plays FF14 like you do would understand that.

You could do a FUCK ton more than that, there were 4 playable character, you could hi-jack enemy weaponry and use it as your own, you could ride fucking mechs before the idea of Xenoblade X even existed, the teleportation ability was supposed to be used to travel the world in a unique way and now it's reduced to a attack/temporary safe-spot, manual weapon switching was removed, without a good reason mind you, besides making the game casual as fuck. 

Let's hope that after KH3 is finished, Nomura works on, I don't know, call it FF Versus XV, so that we get the game that we were originally promised.

They didn't switch directors with intent of changing the "vision" of the game.

They changed directors so Nomura could focus on KH3.

I'm going to eat my hat if Luna isn't a generic Japanese anime character. Stella didn't seem typical but with Luna, the 'typical' starts with her name. I'll be surprised if it ends there.

Also, I can't really say I know too much about the situation, but I have a bad feeling about this. My guess is the game won't have much soul. Gotta give credit to the guy for being upfront about the changes though.

Hey at least this team might actually finish the damn thing.

Those were all just ideas though. They were not integrated into game. That was really ambitious, but it was more than likely and sadly, that over ambition delayed movement in the project and ultimately had him removed. Versus sat in the experiment /testing phase a long time. That is all Nomura ever said, "were testing new ideas out"

Versus VIII/FFXV has been near the top of my most anticipated game list ever since it was first announced in 2006. But ever since Nomura was removed as director against his own will, Tabata has systematically destroyed most of what originally made me excited for it. -A realistic derivation of Kingdom Hearts combat....gone, replaced by a simplistic combat system that had some pretty serious issues in the demo. -Multiple playable characters....gone, now only Noctis is playable. -Stella, a strong female character who shared Noctis' powers and at times would be both a protagonist and antagonist...gone, replaced by Luna, who so far we've only seen sit their looking pretty waiting for Noctis to show up for a dinner. -Ignis, my favorite member of Noctis' party, given an English voice that I can't stand. -Multiple story segments from Versus XIII trailers....gone.   FFXV is starting to look like a rental for me at best. Screw you Tabata!

Yeah combat to me seemed very simplistic to be hoenst. Only main character I liked was Ignis, don't really mind the voice actor for him, although I hated Noctis'. 

Seems like a rental for me as well. :/ 

Ya this is a huge turn off.
