Ghost Stella perpetually haunting Noctis sounds pretty cool honestly. Maybe she would be a recurring boss fight.

Just being curious.
I followed Versus XIII since it's reveal, so people cannot bullshit me about this.

Hmm, how to put it... the most unimportant important side character ever?
#1 is true
#2 could be true/ could also be just a crazy fanfic that somehow fits in the narative of the trailers/ interviews over the years
#3 bullshit

Idk man I agree but at the same time it feels like the budget was ripped straight outta this thing. I can't sit here and blame Tabata solely for that

People are eating rumors way too easily here, due to two previous leaks being confirmed. However, a "Versus XV" that follows Versus XIII's supposed original story would be an easy way to market a pseudo XV sequel with tons of reused assets.
If only everyone else was so level headed.
Eh, GoT isn't a great comparison. You have a lot of women characters either in power or exerting their influence from behind the scenes, and even female characters on the lower rung that assert themselves and making power moves, in what is ostensibly still a patriarchal society, often at the risk of their freedom, their safety, and possibly their lives.
I'm not saying it's a bastion of feminism (and I'm talking about the show specifically, of course), but there's quite a bit of nuance to the women characters in GoT and how they're characterized/portrayed.

Go read all the pages of interviews and information on versus that existed prior to the revamp.
I'll wait.
People need to stop acting like we only had a trailer as our basis for information about Versus.
Also true.

I dont know.... xv without all the offscreening stuff + the content that was cut (accoring to this thread) seems to work better. But yea,this game really is suffering from square previous missmanagement.
and, as I once said, luminous engine wont go anywhere. their lead engine designer said to only use lumi on 1 game first to see how it goes

anyone else think jared is (was?) kind of hot
Been there, done that. I'm a walking encyclopaedia of Versus XIII information, down to the most of smallest bits Nomura talked about in interviews.
I know everything there is to publicly know about Versus XIII.
Go figure.

Ah I see. I understand.
To be fair, many of us, me included both before and during my time as a member of GAF, we're riding the hype train to XV so much and now, it's completely different. It's bizarre. That's why this leak is getting to me haha.

Him and Gladio should compete to see who's the hottest guy in the game.
Don't worry. Hype gets to us all.

People who are praising the Versus story, what exactly am I missing in it that makes it so much better than what we got? Both are terrible if you take a look at them in summary form.
I just find it hilarious that a character that was given so much love and importance was..... basically killed at the start of the game. I would love to pay for the game being released just to see the reaction of the Stella fans
P.S I am already over Versus/XV and I enjoyed my time with XV and consider it my top FFs. Just here for reading the reactions, whether the leak is true or not, it doesn't matter because one was merely a concept while the other is an actual game.

For sure. But, it absolutely sounds legit, especially watching the olds trailers now. So, I'm not sure why a couple of posters are laughing at people believing it.

This might be the added areas they mentioned on stream as patch updates. I can see a lot of this stuff coming into the game.
Some vague infos? Well, yeah, that's not hard to fit I suppose.
To be fair, both.
Square pushed for a 2016 release date.
Tabata was stuck condensing a story but was never able to put a structured story together but ultimately spent a lot of time putting things that didn't make sense in then what it was that he took out.
But both Square and Tabata were stuck between fans wanting what Versus 13 promised and what they could actually accomplish for one game. And Kingsglaive which literally had XV throw out portions of the game in order to make the movie work.
Square had the financial backing to extend development for a whole year to finish the game if they wanted too. And if the game actually had that time they would have got made their revenue back because of the better reception and sales that came with it. But if the leaks are true and Square is determining whether XVI will happen or not on XV's success, it's ultimately the Square's fault for high expectations to see this game launch in such a small work window and funding a movie that they forced the development side to completely change the game. And Tabata for continuing development with a unfinished foundation and allowing his team go full into work on content that was still being determined if it would work in the game or not to begin with.
Square wanted to go out big, but they wanted to jump right into full force of development because they thought because Versus 13 world and story was already written, thought out, and completed there wasn't a need to plan everything out. But both Tabata and Square didn't realize that condensing the story and that these multimedia projects needed to be discussed and planned out better.
At the end of the day they did do a very good job on what was their situation. The game turn out decent and it's still a good game in a lot of ways. The game wasn't a failure and I'm sure Square learned quite a bit. But it's going to take a lot of work and money trying to "fix" the game and the possibility for a FFXVI is up in the air as this soft blow to the game is really going to hurt them big time.

Preach it.
Because anyone can watch the old trailers and make up a story around the scenes?
I might as well add "Ravus used to have a scar on the top part of his face, done by an angry, out of control Noctis when he killed Stella."
Oh SHIET! Well, that explains why old Ravus always had a mask on! :O
Hopefully they do.
Not with the goddess around.
The outline sounds incredible silly at face value but it could work just like it did, more or less, on the first Dead Space or that anime called Tokyo Magnitude.
There is also the part in which I am a sucker for the lore of the FNC project so there is that =P
Not saying that I believe is real but I would pay money to see another game that tries that concept of the main protagonist hallucinating.

Be turnbased because that's the true final fantasy.
-no guns
-no cars
-no anime bullshit
-have a diverse cast ff never had that
-no chainsaws
Etc

While playing XV, I find it so surreal that the game has so much riding on the player having:
A) Followed the development
B) Played the various demos and seen the trailers
C) Watched Brotherhood
D) Watched Kingsglaive
I mean, I remember reading about a childhood accident and powers and such... The game says fuck all about any of that (so far, I haven't finished but there's no point bringing it up) and Brotherhood and Kingsglaive bring it up but that's failed game design. These are typically things that if you want to hint at them, you draw attention to it and THEN release the other medium films and episodes detailing what happened.
It's just sloppy.

I think the game will do well enough for them and with it being out and all, getting positive reviews and WOM, the game is already proving to be a hit. The DLC plans along with post-launch support are just icing on the cake and they can also finally bury Versus XIII and move on from the 10 years old concept.
They have FFVII: Remake as the next major release and it is all on Nomura. Since Tabata delivered what SE expected, I wonder if Nomura is able to meet a deadline and peer pressure to deliver his FFVII: Remake.
The concept has been overused at this point so.... I don't know if it would have the same effect on me.
I always hate when someone uses Hallucinations to cover the weak points of the story. Loved Tokyo Magnitude though, but it was a very different story altogether as opposed to the one here where the lead was killed right in the start
Pretty fucking great and busy, considering he's directing the remake of Square's most popular game, ever.
I still have no idea who Jared is/was.
I mean I'm not putting too much validity in the rumors one way or another (particularly in regards to Versus XIII...out of everything that is the most bullshit) but the supposed leak of the cut content just makes so much sense. FFXV is an unfinished game, that much in painfully obvious. The leaked list of supposed cuts to the game just make logical sense given how much of the game is seemingly missing post chapter 9. XV really felt like a completely different game in terms of how just how it flowed from moment to moment.
I mean if anything, even if the list of cut content is false at least the person making up some realistic fixes to an incomplete game.

As much as I love the idea of Yoshi-P working on 16, I don't love the idea of him leaving 14.

Every FF game has some sort of anime stuff to it .
There is no taking that out still i guess it depends on what you call anime bullshit .
