Same corporate culture and development workflow means the same mistakes can, and probably have been, made.
It's nice to say "after that last disaster, we've learned our lesson" but a corporate structure is a rigid thing that lip service can't actually fix.

I thought it was just referencing "versus", but oh well. It must be tough for you to sit on actual good news on this game after a decadeSo if you paid attention to my tease, this was it. A mirror image of the FFXIII AC demo.

Booooo, my splendid guess crumbles to dust.
So, odds the demo is FFXV and ends with a trailer for XVI?

Do you expect this to be a simple DEMO or more like Ground Zeroes, a meaty DEMO sold for a price?

Gentlemen it has been an honour.
Now after a very long time I just want to sleep.
You've been fighting the good fight, M Night. Just know, that every time you said FFXV Believe, no matter how annoying it got, I believed.

The wording in the article makes it seem like it's a paid demo. Which hopefully means it's closer to Ground Zeroes.

The trick on us is the demo will be the entire game

Is there some misunderstanding here? As far as I know, XIII development begun when they finally have an idea on what to work on after completing a tech demo, a complete non-playable concept teaser trailer. When XIII playable demo was released, the final game was out several months later.
The situation for XV is not quite the same.

(Some of us still are hoping! And Shinobi said Vita owners will be happy soon!)Oh you... and here we were thinking about FFXII HD
I don't see how the culture and workflow are the same at all. It's a fair assessment to say that FFXV was in a development black hole for some time, while 13 at least managed to release 3 iterations of its game. Also, FFXV seems to be a lot more focused on appealing to a wider audience (Western, etc) with its KH-esque/action design. Different teams, different people in charge. I find it hard to really make this call so early :/

There was a post-mortem on FFXIII in Game Developer magazine in 2010.
It was revealed that most of XIII's development time was spent on developing art assets and waiting for the game engine to be finalized. The team didn't actually attempt to create a working game until the Advent Children Complete demo was planned. So in essence, the demo was less of a slice of a completed game, and more of a project exercise to create something playable. And that demo functioned as the model for what they developed into the final game.
We saw actual (early) gameplay of FFXV in January 2011 already. Unlike Toriyama, Nomura HAS had a pretty clear vision of what FFXV would be since very early on. FFXV's version "development hell" has been "sorry guys, we need you to help us with this other thing before moving on to develop FFXV" whereas FFXIII's was more of a "we have no idea what the hell we're doing". Not that FFXV's development has been completely problem free, game's of this scope & ambition never are, but yeah, the reason it has taken this long mostly has to do with stuff surrounding FFXV and not FFXV itself, other than it's a massive game which takes time to develop.
More so to avoid FF Explorers.

for a psp game it was fantastic. not sure how it will turn out because it is obviously designed for a mobile system. a good guess would maybe be Peace Walker-Peace Walker HD.

That's quite a stretch
Well I didn't want it to be too easy lol.

I liked the Batman teasers the best. We at least had a fair chance lol.
They pulled it because it was breaking embargo.

8 years since this was announced, and you'd call this "early"?
I think it's absolutely crystal clear that Versus/XV is beset by the exact same production flaws that led to XIII taking so long and critically under-performing. No, based on the time it's taken, it is actually showing worse symptoms of development hell.
The question is whether the game will have spent long in this sluggish oven to come out a good game anyway.
And I do think we have plenty of precedence to look at a demo and not think "this means its a slice of a bigger game that is around the corner" but rather "this might be a mere milestone in development, and could certainly be one of the first pieces of the game that they actually complete in full".
Our final charge.

The ride isn't over yet still gotta wake Noctis up dude's been sleeping too long.
