R at the end.
A meeting predestined by the divine.
"I can't stay any longer."
From the first scenes of the glorious E3 2013 FINAL FANTASY XV announcement trailer.
Tabata did not kill Stella/Luna, Nomura had already told us on that trailer.
That scene semi made it to the final product.
A meeting predestined by the divine, I'm guessing meant Noctis and Luna meeting in the afterlife as we saw in the ending.
This brings me to believe that Nomura did hand off the key plot points to Tabata, and Tabata made adjustments in order to favor production of the game, such as removing Insomnia and making it a movie instead.
Nomura's vision was compromised by the lack of character development and storytelling in the final product, and that's why its delivery fell flat to a lot of people, but many of us could still see the intent, and most importantly, the ambition behind this vision.
Yes, Nomura might have never finished the game, because he was not willing to compromise shit. He would've fleshed out the game properly, he would not have caved to half-assing this game.
Of course, SE was desperate, and appointed Tabata to finish it no matter what.
And I believed, as many did, but in hindsight, was rushing this game worth it?
Now it saddens me to think that we will never ever get to experience FINAL FANTASY XV the way it was meant to be.
I don't blame Tabata, he was doing his job under a lot of pressure. He did his best, and he did deliver.
I blame SE for being unreasonable.
Congratulations SE, you botched your chance to make history.
The scale, ambition, and epicness of this game was enough to blow a game like FF7 out of the park.
Yes, maybe due to the high production costs of today, that was never going to be possible.
Maybe actually fleshing out characters, story, sidequests, other continents besides Lucis, other cities like Tenebrae, etc. would've had an unreasonably high cost.
But if that was the case...maybe it just wasn't the time yet.
Nomura, you crazy belt-obsessed madman, you better try again one day, even if its outside of SE/FF.
I'm looking forward to KHIII as much as the next guy, but I really don't think the scale and ambition of that game will be as unreasonable for 2016 as FFXV's.
TL;DR: Nomura would not have caved to rush FFXV and would've properly fleshed out the epic tale this game is.
Sorry if shitty thread and if I deserve to be banned, I'm just being honest and wanted to get it off my chest.
