The thing with 4chan rumours is it is always impossible to know what is real or fake. Literally anyone can post there since it's anonymous. Which means a lot of fakes and trolls will post just for attention. But it could in fact also mean a legitimate leaker posts stuff as well since the chances of him being found out are slim to none. The problem is it is usually pretty impossible to tell if a 4chan leak is legit or not until after the fact. Including this there have been some notable ones though.
Yeah I have no doubts that was totally going to be a thing. I was actually expecting it on my playthrough without any knowledge of the leak because that's just how these games go, but I was glad it didn't happen.
Just let it die, give me XVI instead.
He probably wants you to believe Del Toro is heavily involved in this so he can sell more copies of his game to the hardcore PT crowd, sure.

I like the game alot but ill be the first to tell you this game has a lot of issues ans that post nailed them. Hope it does okay enough for ff16
The game even hints at it with the shots of the villain. So yea it was almost certainly a thing at some point.
Well, if we're posting dumb 4chan threads about FFXV which might also become true later on... here's this: http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/360061246 (Thread title being: I worked on FFXV, ask me anything)
I remember deying the leaks and wishing for them to not come true. The game slapped me with reality.

Yep, for sure. That's how every fucking Final Fantasy goes, and it explains why that fight seems so strange for the finale. It's super easy, especially compared to Ifrit, and your friends aren't there like I'm sure they would have been for his final form. Between this and the list of shit they plan on adding/changing with patches, sounds like we all got sold a half baked game.
They changed not only the design but also the name of Gladio's dad. It's basically a new character with a new name and most likely a totally different role in the story of course. (Crailas Amicitia was his name before).

Wow that's a really interesing read, he was spot on with everything and als sheds some light on the development problems.

Are you serious right now? This is embarrassing that nothing was changed.
Yeah, the leaker describes a situation where even just a couple of months prior to the planned release the development was still a mess and the devs struggling to complete the game. Them dropping that scene last minute wouldn't be particularly surprising in such an environment.
Everything's way too detailed and close to the truth to be fake anyway. That person absolutely knew what they were talking about.

Ugh, not this again. Its back to haunt me. This leak always go places here. It is pretty correct though.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR AVATAR?!This thread isn't locked though ¯_(ツ_/¯
Why would it have been changed?
Well, Monster Ardyn...

Never seen this, but if it's true, I'll be back where we started when it was known as Versus XIII: waiting patiently for all types of news.

I don't know if I want this or not.
Hahaha I wish this was true so much
I want it, but in CG movie form.
Kingsglaive was the best thing about FFXV's story for me.

It's so weird, it feels like two completely different games. Like Lucis exists in some different universe from the one where you spend 90% of the game. All the important stuff happens off-screen while you are just dicking around running errands or raiding some huge empty bases/warehouses.

Idk, I think it's somewhat of an interesting choice to have the final fight just be
two dudes duking it out in the streets. We're so used to JRPGs like Final Fantasy having some grand final battle that the way FFXV does it is kinda refreshing.

You know, that would be reasonable, but fuck if we will ever get that from the nu-Square Enix.
I thought everyone knew this already, the thread on gaf with the entire story leaked was much talked about for months, and it was confirmed true then because shortly after we got to see the very beginning of the game matching up with the leaks.
But know we can confirm 100000% that these leaks are true, man was this game rushed.

What? No. For every valid leak there are a thousand that are complete and utter nonsense. The problem with 4chan leaks isn't that they are literally never right, but that they are wrong 99.9% of the time. That's the absolute opposite of a stellar track record and the reason why it's usually not worth bothering with 4chan leaks.

That death stranding leak..... wowzer
Demanding another cg movie just because kingslgalaive was slightly better than garbage but still garbage is insane

From the conversation I think people would want this seems like enough was cut and changed that Versus would be a different enough game anyway and people seem to like many of the core ideas and concepts which could be reinterpreted anyway to differentiate enough. (Like they're done in fiction anyway, the chosen one, a million different variations of that)
I'd be surprised if a revival happens with Noctis but I don't think it's 0% for a revival to happen in the form of new characters with different designs taking the place of Noctis and co.
That said probably like 5% like this is true.

The fellow claims FFXV is doing very, very well. I can't quite buy that angle.
I believed these other leaks, and concern that Death Stranding's leak is also true has had me back off from hyping that game (I don't like the angle of what I read) but I'm having a comparably tough time buying this one.
"How could the game be so unfinished, yet still being worked on, a few months from release? "
It's not normal. The lock for english voice recording is supposed to be in 3 weeks, but they keep re-writing lines. Everybody is nervous as f*** about Sept30 release. Expect big day 1 patch
">>Nobody is touching it right now. There's only like 2 hours "playable" on ps4 and xbox version barely turns on. Nobody is thinking about PS4k, just porting and optimizing for PS4. Xbox build is like 3 weeks behind.
Oh come on. It would have been delayed to December or early 2017 if that were the case. Come up with more believable bulls***."
I know what it sounds like, but its true

This is fake, right? The stuff about
Luna is absolutely puzzling. Why would they criticize a strong female character?
Can I get a link to that?

Oh wow, he talked about the Versus:
Stella would die at the start of the game? wtf?
Stella would die at the start of the game? wtf?
Even talk about Versus plot or at least what he learned:
The game centered about death, ghosts and hallucination/dreams. Noctis killed the female protagonist before the game started but he didn't remember. Ardyn was Noctis ancestor and he was responsible of the crystals disappearing over time (the only one left was Lucis crystal). Regis died in front of Noctis because his bodyguards betrayed him. The protagonists had to leave the capital because their nation lost the war.
The game didn't focus on summons that much (they still existed) and instead there were actual gods which didn't appear physically. One of the gods was the main antagonist of the first FF game. Each nation was inspired by a different capital of the world. The empire was using ghosts as weapons. Ravus wanted to kill Noctis for having killed her sister. The game ended in another dimension which was supposed to be their version of the after-life.
It's great that you have opinions. I'm very happy for you.
