To be fair, that's exactly what they did at E3. I just don't understand how it might not be ready for 2014. What have they been doing all this time?

I think what's the saddest part is that I'm not surprised, that I have no expectations of playing them antime soon, and therefore don't even feel disappointed by this news.

I've pretty much conditioned myself to act as if this these don't exist until they actually release

They didn't start full development until mid 2011, moved to next-gen sometime in 2012 and they just don't want to do a half-assed job (i.e. treating FFXV like it's a cross-gen game, but to take full advatage of next-gen hardware)

It's my understanding that the XV team his basically in charge of helping out the other teams when they need extra hands. It can't be easy to make a game when your team is tied up elsewhere.

What the point of this? It will lead to nothing like always. This game is late 2015 at the earliest and it seems like XIII engine/delay debale all over again.

Wouldn't look into it much there was some voice acting for Versus already albeit Japanese one but it was still early. This could just mean there getting the Voice actors early for trailers and stuff and try to get this sorted out for faster localization due to slow development of the game.

And I thought waiting 5 years for final fabtasy XII was long. It's crazy how we went from almost annual final fantasy releases to this. Yes, ff7-1997, ff8-1999, ff9-2000, FFX 2001. Then they merged with enix and everything got fucked up.

That release calendar was definitely amazing. VI was 1994 and X-2 was 2003. Still, pretty tight decade. Fast-forward to now....oh man.

Jump Festa ain't a big enough event. What they meant to say was E3 only. So instead of info every few years they will be more frequent every year instead.

They haven't lied. They just didn't spell it out in plain english.

I AM surprised however they aren't selling any wall scrolls this time in the SE goods section.

I'm pretty sure they said 15 wasn't going to show up at TGS, but we got 9 seconds of new footage anyway. I thought they were holding out for Jump Festa, but I guess fucking not. WHICH MEANS, we won't see another proper blowout for 15 again until E3 2014 at the earliest.

Give us some info? Some screenshots? Fucking anything. I'm used to being disappointed by SE nowadays, but this is pushing me over the limit.

Nah, KH3 is the Osaka team. It'll release in a decent timeframe. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually ended up being first to release.

It's nothing like that and I've detailed the numerous reasons why in the past. They've actually got a playable build with tons of content done already and the engine is near-finished instead of being in very early stages, so they are actually developing the game and its content instead of fighting with engine problems.

And no, this won't be a late 2015 game. That would mean Square Enix Japan has absolutely nothing new for consoles apart from a couple of HD collections for the next 2 years. If they have to, they'll do what they did with FFXIV 2.0 and halt the development of other games to bring more workforce to push XV out as soon as possible. I maintain my estimate that this will be out by the end of March 2015 with a full possibility of a November or December 2014 release.

Square Enix can't even finish an HD collection in under three years. No way this game will be out before the end of 2015 ;-;

Your memory's not that good then.





FFVI was made of pixelated sprites, those are high-res graphics trying to imitate the pixelated style. Makes no sense, and most of the times is ugly as hell; they should have just remade the game like they did with III and IV on DS. Here everything looks clean-cut, generic, cheap and washed out.

They could still make a TWEWY2. The first one was moderately successful and there hasn't yet been any mega-bombah sequels that would make SQEX abandon the franchise completely. It might be on hiatus, but I don't think it's completely dead like Chrono or Mana at the moment. TWEWY is a favorite of Nomura's (it's the first SQEX franchise outside of Final Fantasy to be included in Kingdom Hearts), when he'll have the time he'll put up a team and make TWEWY2 happen. I mean, come on, they made Drakengard III, TWEWY2 would be much more successful (and probably cheaper if they stayed with the 2d style). I'm almost 100% certain TWEWY2 will happen one way or the other, sooner or later. Nomura is just busy with two huge projects (one hopefully getting closer to its finish line and the other is early still) at the moment.

Originally Posted by YoungBlade

That's not because of some corporate decisions. The key people behind the franchise decided that Dissidia 012 would be it for the Dissidia franchise, at least in its current form. They were somewhat successful as well, so I don't think some kind of Dissidia revival sometime in the future is completely out of the picture.

Originally Posted by YoungBlade

It might still be happening. They just made a bad decision to make it a PSP game at a time when piracy had completely ruined the platform and it was all but officially dead in the west. Hopefully Sony's game request campaign showed enough interest for Type-0 and they are working on how to bring it outside Japan. I've been thinking maybe they'd actually make a FFXII IZJS | Type-0 HD Collection for PS3/Vita, if X | X-2 HD does well enough. We know that due to SCEA's (& SCEE?) horrible practices, singular HD remasters can't get a physical retail release in North America (and thus Europe) and Type-0 would be a bit too big a game to only get a digital PSP release (that could be played on Vita), so they could perhaps work it out that way.

It's kinda silly to compare HD collections' development to their next headliner like FFXV. The development team's size for a HD collection is nowhere near the size a new mainline release gets. It's a relatively small team chipping away slowly and they'll release the collections when they are done. Also, what on Earth are you babbling about some 3+ year development time for a HD collection? FFX | X-2's is less than two years (it was announced a little over 2 years ago, but they've only been working on it after XIII-2 was done, from Spring 2012 onwards) and I think KH1.5 was done in something like 1,5 years (give or take a couple of months).
