This scene's not gonna happen now, is it...

If they make her just some damsel in distress... ugh.

 

[jiggle]

Better this way if she's not even gonna be in the party
Still lameh

Now we get a pearl clutching damsel in distress
Yay -.-

 

[Diablos]

Why? She seemed so cool.

Too dignified perhaps? Yet we can somehow get Lightning, arguably the most one-dimensional FF character of all time, shoved into our faces for three games straight. Fantastic.

 

[family_guy]

She'll be in FF15-2.

 

[Kresnik258]

Are the scenes in the city from the original Versus XIII trailer still in the game (i.e. Dragoon Lady landing on the ship?)

I know she's still in the game but still, they looked awesome.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

There really IS a Seinfeld situation for everything, WTF.

Yes, yes there really is.

 

[Goteki_45]

LOL

 

[Aeana]

Considering how they've been treating these characters in marketing, it doesn't sound like it really matters what Noctis's trophy girl is called anyway.

 

[Asd202]

I was right all along.

 

[GhostTrick]

Hahaahaha. There's really a Simpson picture for EVERYTHING.

aw damn

 

[Slamtastic]

This character, correct?

That's a big shame, she (was) very pretty.

 

[Rising_Hei]

So basically changing Nomura/Nojima's original vision, colour me dissapointed SE.

 

[Nirolak]

8:50 AM <Nirolak> remind me, how was the writing in Dissidia?
8:52 AM <Seda> Very bad

This is going to be great!

 

[Begaria]

Came here for the "Stella!" jokes, wasn't disappointed.

I'm not saddened by the removal of a character we knew very little about in a game that has been changed many times all over already.

 

[Caronte]

Ah, yes. Just when I like a female character in a FF game in years they have to get rid of her. Well done, Square Enix.

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Nomuras baby is no more, he must be crying somewhere

 

[Asd202]

8:50 AM <Nirolak> remind me, how was the writing in Dissidia?
8:52 AM <Seda> Very bad

This is going to be great!

Yeah I'm Very worried for the story now. Stella is one thing but Dissidia story writer whelp...

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

8:50 AM <Nirolak> remind me, how was the writing in Dissidia?
8:52 AM <Seda> Very bad

This is going to be great!

So on a scale of 1-10, how much of this game has been scrapped from the last iteration before the new director took over?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

8:50 AM <Nirolak> remind me, how was the writing in Dissidia?
8:52 AM <Seda> Very bad

This is going to be great!

I agree with Seda. The writing in Dissidia was not very good.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

This character, correct?

That's a big shame, she (was) very pretty.

I, too, am greatly sadden by a very pretty virtual character with whom we have zero reason to care for given that she's about as developed as a brown paper bag has been unnecessarily removed from a game that has been in some sort of development limbo since about 7 final fantasy releases ago.

 

[Maxim726X]

8:50 AM <Nirolak> remind me, how was the writing in Dissidia?
8:52 AM <Seda> Very bad

This is going to be great!

Yeah... Very bad is an understatement. A little concerned.

 

[Sola Scriptura]

Dissidia scriptwriter announcement is the death knell for FFXV as far as I'm concerned. A mainline FF that has been years in the making and you hand the main script writing responsibility over to a gal who wrote the "script" and "dialogue" for a fighting game featuring Final Fantasy characters?

Lord Sakaguchi-san, have mercy on us all!

 

[GhostTrick]

This character, correct?

That's a big shame, she (was) very pretty.

Edit: nevermind, that's her.

 

[irfaanator]

rip kagari, hope you get past this

 

[glaurung]

June 9th for Duscae 2.0!

Bring it!

 

[idlewild_]

Oh, I thought they had just updated her name, model, and backstory. Didn't realize they were supposed to be different people. Guess I haven't been paying attention, lol

 

[Inferno313]

This character, correct?

That's a big shame, she (was) very pretty.

What does that have to do with good storytelling? If you want to look at pretty girls, the internet is at your fingertips.

 

[Kintaro]

At the rate they are going, they're going to need Yoshida to save another Final Fantasy game.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

So on a scale of 1-10, how much of this game has been scrapped from the last iteration before the new director took over?

Director gone, scriptwriter gone, original heroine completely removed. Man, it seems like they've scrapped almost everything. At this point it really does seem like a completely new game that's only tangentially related to what Versus XIII was going to be.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

8:50 AM <Nirolak> remind me, how was the writing in Dissidia?
8:52 AM <Seda> Very bad

This is going to be great!

It was pretty bad but considering what Dissidia was trying to be in the first place in terms of storytelling I think we can at least expect a better written game here(hopefully).

 

[Rei_Toei]

I haven't really kept up with FFXV news. Is that awesome looking water palace/city thing still in?

 

[Pooya]

Dissidia script writer...man must resist laughter.

 

[Qvoth]

OP

oh wow i seriously thought it's going to be like ff9 garnet and dagger thing

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Alright, I guess I'll see if they fixed that mess on Tuesday.

I want some playable women in my FF Party...this dudes only party just sucks :-/

 

[Styles]

Meh.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Dissidia scriptwriter.....

 

[Shahadan]

Dissidia script writer + Crisis Core director = me running the other way

 

[jorgeton]

RIP Stella. We hardly knew ye. Literally. We knew nothing about ye.

Side note, Roberto Ferrari is such a great name.

 

[Yiazmat]

Now formally recognised 'Stella Nox Fleuret Funeral Reception'

 

[Interfectum]

Dissidia scriptwriter writing game

welp...

 

[robotzombie]

Don't mean to sound dismissive, but why were people so invested in a character from a game that didn't even exist yet in the first place? Just character design? There seems to be so much controversy surrounding this Stella/Luna stuff and I'm confused why

 

[FlutterPuffs]

You were too beautiful for this world.

 

[sensui-tomo]

I want some playable women in my FF Party...this dudes only party just sucks :-/

It's SE answer to 3 games of 13 and ffx-2 there's never been an all male party, give it a chance.

 

[Rymuth]

You have Cindy, what else do you want? Be grateful to Tabata, you should.

 

[Defuser]

Poor Nomura, got kick off from the game he's been working on for so long and now his XV poster girl has been replaced.

I wonder what's wrong with Nojima's script that they have to rewrite.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

They're still trying to be faithful to Nojima's original vision for Versus XIII.

I thought Nojima was working on the game? Has he been removed, too?

Nova Crystallis &#8207;@Nova_Crystallis 10m10 minutes ago
Sounds like sequels are out, for one. They want to do a complete story in one game.

There will be no sequels but I'm sure there will be lots of story DLCs.
