Nope. I'm mostly looking forward to the exploration aspect, which sounds and looks great from the info we have so far, and the combat (Duscae's was okay, but the recent changes mentioned and the world also being filled with a bunch of weapons with unique abilities sounds awesome). I think SE is still keeping a lot of stuff hidden and haven't shown.

Sick monster design. I loved that. Unfortunately, when I think of the combat, I shrug. I wished I could fight that Malboro with the fast, fluid and responsive KH2FM-inspired Versus XIII combat with character switching instead of whatever holding button to attack nonsense Tabata or the Type-0 designer is coming up with.

Maybe your character will level up in this game and get abilities that can combat that?

Tabata definitely said that, but w/e.

Oh? What to make a bet?

Sure, May 2017
But really, 2016 is already way too crowded for KHIII to release, + the whole "1 KH per year" thing.

Etro should be gone along with FNC, so it's pretty logical to remove her from the logo too. But it will again result in another thread where people curse Tabata for changing things.

Not necessarily, the logo can still represent the planet, and the woman embracing it could be Luna (since the whole "she's the only one who can save the planet" plot point).

I mean, it's too beautiful and iconic looking to scrap it.

I don't think they would release KH 2.8 and III in the same year.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

As long as the story isn't as ridiculous as FFXIII and the combat tweaked to actually make it fun to play it should be ok imo.

If they do change the logo... :/

 

[Koozek]

Totally forgot about that movie rumor, btw. Wonder if that was true.

 

[theofficefan99]

Why would they change the logo? The goddess in the logo is still in the game.

I'LL FUCKING RIOT, I SWEAR I'LL DO IT

Not totally, i mean it's confirmed Etro's no more but maybe they just changed her name, and the logo would still make sense even if her character has been removed.

Ummm...

Should I be worried about a game that cut enough content to remove a main character and her story arch completely and continues to lose sight of its original vision after each and every update with no release date set in sight after years and years of development hell?

No

Ummm...

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
Logo must definitely still be the same then.
That doesn't look like FNC Etro tho, wondering how she's called now.

No, because
-that character wasn't completely removed but re-worked to better fit the story
-them "losing sight of the original vision" is bullshit and just your supposition
-they have a set release date and it's going to be revealed in March, hell they probably had it set for quite some time now

As if you knew the whole story and vision before. You should trust the dev team to know better what's good for the game. Nobody knows how well Stella or whatever little else we knew worked over the course of the whole story. Versus apparently was written with sequels in mind (“Versus Epic“ tagline in the E3 trailer) and had to be reworked and streamlined for FFXV to be self-contained.

Also, what? They confirmed 2016 at TGS already and Tabata seems pretty confident, making clear that things like airships and Moogles will only be added in a way they don't hold back the main game's development.

EDIT: Lol, beaten by my breh.
