Comparison between FF Versus XIII staff and FF XV staff [Kotaku was right!!!]

Probably because they were going insane,
My heart... it feels like it's sinking...
Blegh... hopefully FFXV is still an amazing game. It bums me out to see so much of the original crew has either left or been taken off the project (one that I had high hopes for too). But perhaps FFXV will still manage to hold onto the essence of the original vision. I'd like to think so anyway. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

LMAO at that wall of shame

The fact is that ffxv is an actual game and ffxiii versus never was. That alone makes ffxv a better game by the very virtue that it actually exists.

Ha ha, that actually sounds nicely optimistic!
The S.S. Tabata, leaving port. Awooga!
Probably not? He just released Mobius FF and they're going to be supporting this for a while. The PAD creator is also "joining" Terra Battle, and he's not quitting Gungho. Collaborations in mobile games is very common in Japan.
well nevermind then. lol
We're still going to (eventually) get an Endless Quest dungeon by Kitase and an Opera Quest dungeon by Uematsu and Kitase inspired by the FFVI Opera House, so it's win-win!

I hope a demo/build of the original ps3 game gets leaked one day so we can get a taste what the game we'd been waiting for since 2006 actually was like. :/
Looking for the day Nomura quits SE, gets the team together and kickstarts something like Fantasy Versus with the original vision.

I'm sure we've all had games that we hoped to play on an upcoming console that never materialized for one reason or another, whether it was something as relatively minor as Project HAMMER or something as badly anticipated as MML3.
This may be the highest profile one though and with the oddest trajectory. Normally those games just vanish entirely, but I guess SE saw both a marketing opportunity and pragmatically keeping a scenario already drafted up.
I know, right? Hazmer is a game designer, right?

Losing Jun Akiyama and Stella makes me waaaaay less interested in this as far as storytelling is concerned. Sigh.
Here's hoping Jun Akiyama is working on whatever Itou is working on, assuming that's not just sweeping the floors and fetching coffee.

I don't know what to say... 9 long years. It's comforting though, knowing you weren't the only one patiently waiting all this time.
But I need this game to simply come out in whatever shape, because I just can't stand the wait anymore. I need to see the end credits to this thing. Hell, I might shed a tear just knowing the wait is over!
Although it's saddening to know that the original concept might be mostly dead, I honestly still pray that it delivers - It just has to after all these years!

I was going to post this. Wan Hazmer is still the lead game designer, I think.

Going by the trailers and Duscae this is good. The last thing we need is another Duke Nukem Forever.
A lead designer. There are many of them.

I'm really sad about this..
If it does not sink, it's because of the bloated corpses of discarded ideas, characters and staff are propping it up.
Sorry...that was dark.
He did the character designs for Tekken: Death by Degrees, and (I think) a few minor (mobile?) Square Enix games.
Thanks guys
I guess Cindy is his creation.
Damn, son.

So Final Fantasy XV is being handled by a mostly different team now while Kingdom Hearts III is being developed by the Birth by Sleep team in Osaka.
Any chance this missing Versus XIII team is working on Nomura's new project?

I thought the same thing. Kitase, Nomura, Nojima, all left FFXV for FF7. Wouldn't be surprised if Akiyama was also attached to the remake.So Final Fantasy XV is being handled by a mostly different team now while Kingdom Hearts III is being developed by the Birth by Sleep team in Osaka.
Any chance a fair number of these missing employees are working on Nomura's new project?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
My money's on Takeharu Ishimoto, the composer who worked on Crisis Core.
I really really liked his work on Type-0 and TWEWY but I never thought he was a good fit for FFVII. Not a huge fan of the Crisis Core OST.
It's a likely bet anyhow.
Probably Shimomura. She and Nomura are a buy-one-get-one-free bundle these days, and reorchestrating one of the most famous video game OSTs of all time probably wouldn't be that challenging for her.
