It's like looking at a venn diagram of KH3, FF7R and FFV13 (FF15), with Nomura in the middle and still going "I still think it's inconclusive"

Ha my sister-in-law purchased a ps4 right after seeing the announcement. She only really likes indies besides FF7, which she has a pc for so the ps4 never gets used. She also lost interest when she found out its not turn-based....
Kinda sad she basically bought it for nothing, this game probably wont launch till ps5

That assumes that KH3 ever comes out.
That's been proven false, many times
They're taking so long so they can make sure to perfect Tifa in HD.
Yeah I'm not too up in arms about this (though I'm sure this is a 2018 title at the earliest). This just sounds like any employer pitch you'd seen on a company's website.

That's just bullshit that's spread. He didn't know until a briefing prior to that trailer. That trailer has Nomura's directorial touches all over it.
He even said he created it in one of the interviews, referring to Sephiroth's narration.
That's not what I was asking about, and you know it.
They're now in the "development progress" phase?

That doesn't make any sense. Who directed the trailer and the footage then?
I could probably start learning Japanese now and be done before they've released it.
Yeah, I would have thought so. Sucks for him that they revealed the project so early, but I guess half the intention was to drum up hype for recruitment at the time.
EDIT:
If you're serious - you could do this easily. I went from 0% knowledge when Dragon Quest XI was announced to playing games comfortably in ~7 months, and am reading novels and shit fine now at ~15 months.

Seems like Japanese developers have two gears
Either Sakurai: "I haven't taken a day off in three years and I used this keyboard and mouse so much my hands are permanently stuck in this position", or Nomura "I've been working on this game for 5 years and all I have to show for it is this Joker action figure"

Plenty of trailers are outsourced. I'd argue that most of em are...

Why does people think that recruiting new staff that will help make 3D chairs in high definition affects the game as a whole?
They're not waiting to form a team to start the thing, people come and go on the project...

The fact that they're recruiting isn't a surprise at all, it's actually pretty normal. But this:
Is a little worrisome. lol

It is seriously painful being a fan of any series that belongs to Square Enix.

I'm not trying to act like a blind fan. Here's my take.
FF7R was announced at E3 in 2015. So almost 2 years ago. No idea what the scope of this first "Episode" is going to be but I don't think see it really being in any trouble.
KH3 was announced in 2013, almost 4 years ago. They lost a year of progress due to the Luminous Engine. I don't really see this being Nomura's fault that they couldn't get KH to mesh well with an engine that's clearly had issues even for FFXV.
VersusXIII he shares blame for, obviously.
KH3 releasing next year would give them 4 years of dev time since switching to Unreal. That's a reasonable amount of time given the scope. FF7R is too early to even tell. Should KH3 come out next year half-baked like FFXV and we get through 2018 with next to no information on FF7R then yes, I can agree that Nomura is someone who's probably the problem.
I don't plan on saying Nomura is the problem or incompetent just yet because there's nothing with FF7 or KH3 that makes me think he's fucked up on those projects. That said, if he has we are going to see it over the next year or so and we're gonna get a good sign of it at E3 when we get to see what they have/do not have.
Again, I'm not going to blindly believe in Nomura as a director forever. Depending on how things develop I may end up doing drive by posts about how awful of a Director he is a year from now.

So Square was lying when they said play it first on PS4
Nothing less than a release date (even tentative) would be a goddamn shame.

Every time we hear more about this game, the news adds another year to when I expect to see a finished product.

Still counts if the dev team plays it on PS4.

I really hate these announcement of games that don't come out for 5+ years. Just unnanounce it at this point then surprise me in 5 years time.
That's nothing. Wait until they announce Part 2 a year or two after the release of the first part only to potentially wait another 3 years for it to release.

For KH3 they absolutely need a major trailer. The game has shown so far the first couple of areas in the game and a CG trailer. They need to instill some confidence that the game has made the progress a game that's been in development 3-4 years should. E3 is going to be an important time for them.
7R they have some leeway given that it's a newer title but that will burn away fast.

Just show me the updated character designs please. That'll hold me over for a bit.

Urgently recruiting? Oh boy. I guess I should look at playing the complete package once in a blue moon.

I'm going to go with something not being translated properly.
I'm also doubtful of the episode idea as people generally think of it.
My suspicion is that they mean 2 or 3 different games.
