I'm saying, how can people paid to do this only come up with this alleged story and the disjointed story of the current XV?
One poster came up with the bros leaving for a road trip as sort of a bachelor get away before Noctis is to be wed. This allows for all of the open world shenanigans and hunts and sidequests take place without conflicting with the tonal shift that happens at the beginning of the adventure as it is currently. It was said that some of the main quest lines could have hinted at bigger things happening which I've mentally expanded on as *FFXV story context spoilers*
maybe Ardyn and the empire moving pieces in place to manipulate Noctis into "unlocking" the kingdom and THEN Noctis fights his way back home after finding out for the more story-driven, linear portion of the game.
I've also expressed interest in Noctis'
bloodline being tied to Diabolos since summons seemed to be an integral part of XV's story once upon a time. It would have made sense considering the ring powers, their death-like sigils and dark motifs (and the Omen trailer/voice-over).
I'm just saying, it's pretty easy to smooth out the current story and I feel it's better than even what I'm reading here about this potential Vs XIII.
There's a sidequest where you peeping Tom a female character in her room and she can be wearing nothing but a bra and panties.
Additionally every female character has their own personal underwear. But that was actually done by a female so 😂

Urgh seriously the effing cowardice with LUna's character is sickening.
This is literally the WORST character and a shameful creation
At least with Lightning Toriyama was proud of the character he'd written and wanted to show her off to the world.
With Luna the team had no vision, no drive, were cowardly about how she'd be received.
Piss poor creation. People like this should NOT be in charge of a FF game. And stinks of all the other issues XV ultimately ended up having. (still a great game though so dont wanna sound too negative)

Wow, you can see carry over ideas from that to the final game, if any of that is true.
Nomura directing VIIR has me worried this will take a century to finish for that reason.

I'll be down for VersusXV it would be magical, but hey anything is possible.
It sounds good to me, sorry. Kingdom Hearts might be a mess but I think it's really good at pulling at my heartstrings and this sounds like that plus Silent Hill 2. I'd love it

Don't know. But a lot of us have played 3rd Birthday
The whole team can be blamed for that, do I need to drag the Nomura quote.

I don't WANT to kill the girl. I want a good ending WITH the girl.
Basically we all got Omen'd.

The very first teasers showed Noctis and Stella first though, so the assumption that she'd play a big role wouldn't be too far-fetched.
That said, that was very early stuff which was primarily conceptual, according to Nomura, if I remember right. Versus only solidified Stella's role a little later, pro'lly around '11 or so, I think? And if that turned out to be this...
...honestly, I would be a bit upset, lol. I'm a victim of the Stella hype myself, but the initial allusions to Romeo/Juliet and the ambiguity of their relationship really piqued my interest.

Some of that is in FFXV but yeah I hope they take the remainder and put it in FFXV2 or FFXVI

Did all those rumors about XIV's plot from earlier in the year turn out true?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
In the end it sounds like what we didn't get of Vs. XIII was sufficiently repurposed into XV.
On Ardyn:
On Ravus:
On Stella: ded
On the ending:
On the empire using ghosts:
On the different regions and their crystals:
On Ardyn:
Still true
On Ravus:
Changed from being angry at Noctis for killing his sister to being angry at Regis for not saving his mother
On Stella: ded
On the ending:
Still happens in the afterlife
On the empire using ghosts:
Still sort of true - actually, the MTs/daemons seem cooler
On the different regions and their crystals:
Shame about the London region being cut, Solheim was always a bust, the rest are still there - other three crystals unmentioned but could still have existed

As for the US, who knows? It's already the third highest selling game (PS4 version) on Amazon for 2016, behind UC4 and Pokemon Sun/Moon. I know this is anecdotal, but an acquaintance of mine at GameStop said there was a big demand and lots of copies sold. Who knows? I personally think it's selling well.

You could still get your dream esque ending XV got for Versus. It would be more bittersweet then.
But hang on...it wouldn't make any sense
I case anyone missed it:
Tell us what changed. Exactly, in detail, as much as you can remember.
Well, the first stop after Altissia had an (smaller) open world area and you could drive the car alone.
There was a level leading up to when you encounter the Shiva statue.
The dark world section of the game featured more enviroments, you encountered each party member in different locations and you could explore part of Lestallum.
The final boss (which was another Ardyn form) got cut early this year.
The Tenebrae invasion happened after the protagonist entered the city and you got to explore a very small section of the city and Luna's chamber.
Scenes that featured Luna got cut because they were considered to be problematic.
Cor got written out of the last half of the story since it made no sense for him to show up (he was Noctis companion during the small open area after Altissia).
I... I cannot. This would explain so much but is 4chan so I have to take it with a mountain of salt... but i want to believeeeee

This was already known for a long time.
Random NPCs with no lines are better than Luna.
I believe in an interview Tabata said when he took over development, the date the game would ship was already decided and he had to do his best to meet that date. Not surprising.

wtf does this mean
luna is currently "problematic"
unless it means pervy problematic in which case we probably dodged an even bigger bullet.

Tbf, SE made a lot of Kingdom Hearts games during that period.

Square rushed it, even with the Luna stuff missing out on this is sad, hopefully we can get DLC to alleviate it.
Probably rape. That's the only thing I would think would problematic enough for this team. something something suffering builds character something something

Neither of the games (if the Versus leak is true) make sense. It was the
death of Luna
This sounds funny, but people need to be careful with
4chan. /v/ is not a news site, it's a site with literally anyone can post. I could go there and write you the life and death of FFXV pretending to be an-insider.
... but I see memes are already out, so this will most likely be the accepted version of the story in a few weeks.

I'mma just pretend I didn't read that and this guy is playin' us
There was a scene of child Luna getting physical abuse in a fairly late trailer wasn't there? That'd be an example of one of those scenes
Right? I feel like they tried to keep things simple in XV for the most part. I would've preferred something crazy, I like my JRPGs batshit insane.

How on earth could they portray Luna in a less empowering more criticize-able way?

Even if I don't fully believe this I'm still incredibly angry that so much stuff was "cut".

The scenes with Luna 'crying because of her health'
So remember that scene between her and Ravus where she was kind of whimpering at the start unlike we had seen her ever in the game so it felt totally out of character?
That is probably what they mean
The game ended up cutting those scenes and making it even weired when we got the scene of her in Altissa with Ravus and we were wondering why only now do we see that she is 'ill'
What a trainwreck

Hoping personally that these patches fix what's missing. Because this could be a 10/10 game if it had a bit more time. Just depends on how much substantial stuff they're willing to add.

But Aqua...
Did you know your fave had been dead the whole time?
Looking back at the E3 trailer it sort of makes sense? I would love to read the original script some day.

Have you played the game? Cause we did'nt need a leak to know all this kind of stuff.
It became apparent pretty quickly after the re-reveal that they barely had done anything on the new game, regardless of what Nomura had done with his skeleton crew. From the looks of it and what they've shown to us, they went through their own development hell with the engine and I wouldn't be surprised if that ate most of their dev time and resources.
Disney stop perv shit, like Yoshida tried to tell Kojima with the PS1 port of Policenauts.
On the other hand if they patch all this into the game they fix a LOT of the mayor complaints.
BELIEVE!
I'm rewatching some of the scenes and it actually does make sense. There are some visual motifs that actually do fit if she was dead all along.
This is legit amazing.
