Final Fantasy XV is about 50-60% complete - Tabata

I get it if one says that they don't like the aesthetics or art direction of XV but it becomes annoying when people start using words like blasphemous or disgusting to describe what they don't like. Really? Having a car in FF is disgusting?

Would have had a hard time getting out of the gold saucer without some form of land based transport. Seriously though, the fact that people are complaining about the existence of a car in the game just makes me think we have very little to complain about so far. It's obvious it will be fantasy heavy looking at the waterfall palace anyway. Then on the bright side dungeons are back!
 
Take your time Tabata, we've already waited eons, no point on rushing it out, I would rather have it be worth the wait than have it come out earlier in some unpolished mess.
 
shit reading this thread really brought out the nomura stan in me which i didn't even know existed

My favorite part of that Kotaku interview:



Has anyone in the history of FF said something to the akin of "My favorite party member? Definitely Airship-chan!"

Ok, the ship in SaGa 3 / Final Fantasy Legend 3 was kinda cool, but that doesn't really count.

I guess shoehorning their Car fandom in FFXV is better than making us play through 3 games of Lightning, though?

the darkest part of my past was putting out terribad ragnorak x selphie fanfics
i thought i had gotten rid of that mess but supposedly tabata found them
 
The importance of setting a public date for project is that you don't get in a situation like this. If the game has a release date but you don't hit it and have to end up delaying it at least you don't end up with a game that takes 10 years to develop and hold back your main series.

Welp, that's a pretty normal-looking truck!

Your being insincere to my argument. This trucks you post about are not main vehicle to journey and exploration. They are just scenery and cut scene magic. The vehicle of exploration should not be boring. Is a massive aircraft boring? No. Car? Yes.

There was a reason why this was FF VS when it was first announce. Because it was not fit for mainline FF. It was not appropriate. But then Eidos buyout happen, SE realized it needed new FF for new consoles QUICKLY, had a project lying around, dusted it, and decided to make it new FF.

REAL FF diehards know this story. They know why this is FFXV when it really isn't. This is stopgap nothing more. Real Fantasy begins with XVI.

Oh, okay, well so long as the REAL FF fans know. There isnt a roll eyes emote big enough.

Get over yourself. I'll go on to play this real FF and probably the next one.

Nice to see the real FF diehards have already declared that this isn't a Final Fantasy game before they even had a chance to play it. Guess we're all wasting our time in these threads, everybody. It's just a stopgap let's all go home.

Not what Im saying. Could be a great game in own right. Just that this wil not be mainline FF. I will play it, but I will just change the game cover to print out of FF VS. Cant associate this with XV is all.

But that's what you're saying. You just said it again. "This will not be a mainline FF." Except it is.

Not even going to comment on that second bit.

Yes, Im saying this is not mainline FF.

What Im not saying is this is waste of time. You play it, fine. Just know you will enjoy it more if you play like me, as VS not XV.

I've always found the airships boring in previous games. X had the best system for me, having a bunch of open areas linked via fast travel. Driving a car is a lot more appealing to me, as I expect it to be much more engaging. When you're flying, you're above practically every obstacle, driving will probably require much more attention on the player's end.

But you don't get those nice scenic views though. :(
 
FF8 had both Cars and Trains as usable transportation, hell you could drive the Rental Cars in FF8 on parts of the overworld. FF7 had a drivable buggy too.

Hell the usage of technology and sci-fi aspects in FF doesn't make it any less fantasy. Even the very first game in the series had a Floating Fortress from a highly advanced civilization and Robots that maintained it. In fact there are far more cases of games with advanced technology in some form in them in most of the mainline FF series then there are games without them.

The Eidos buyout had no effect on any of the FF developed projects by the way, None of the Eidos staff worked on a FF game anyways (You can check the credits for every game since 2009 for programers, script writers and artists to confirm this for yourself), so that excuse is just as paper thin as some people who used the merger with Enix as an excuse for few Square titles having poor output.

I think that in the end, XV is going to remind people far more of classic FF games than XIII did. Nomura even said that at one point in Versus XIII's development.

Hence why they're ditching the KH-like battle and going for an evolved FFXII-FFXIII battle system according to the interviews.

I dunno but if they stuck with purely action gameplay ala KH, it will stray off from the roots of FF, and they're trying to bring the series back to its roots to a classic FF.

Edit: Try to think of it like this: Versus XIII was announced, but eventually was shelved because it was too ambitious for an "action spinoff" and there was a problem with the XIII series although it was "partially built"...Then they had to make a new mainline FF so they used Versus XIII, tweaked it to be more akin to the FF series, rebranded it, then there you go.
 
It‘s not a real Final Fantasy unless there‘s a hovercraft and a harem of three underage princesses. Tabata you're a fraud.

How do you spend 9 years on a game and only have 60% done? Holy shit. It's not even like Duke Nukem changing hands/companies.

....they...stopped making the game?
idk they then started back up 2 years ago and from 2 years ago they are 50%-60% done.
It will be done by then end of next year expect a 2016 release date. 2017 for KH3.

YEAH! I know Eidos staff was not part of FF games. But that doesnt mean Eidos did not pressure SE to use existing game gathering dust called VS to make XV? Why was VS not just XV in the first place? Have u asked yurself that as yet? Why did VS becum XV years later? What changed? The answer is there if your willing to find it.

Oh, so you know something then? I look forward for you provide your evidence for these claims. I mean you clearly must have close ties to Eidos or SE to make the statement that Eidos has enough influence over it's own parent company to do such a thing.

I look forward to see something that is substantial of this position you think Eidos has the authority to influence Versus XIII's transition into FF15 that has nothing to do with the game being put on the back burner for years so that other projects such as the FFXIV v1.0 being rebooted into ARR and allocating other employees to deal with the FFXIII trilogy, that took away work being done on Vs. XIII.

it is a main line FF because Square says it's a mainline FF. That's all that matters. I mean what in the actual fuck?!?!

*~~Not everything is what is seems ~~*

If you played enough FF you would know what I mena ;)

Think about it like this: Do you consider Respawn Inifinity Ward games real CoD games or those by treyarch? Easy right? Only infinity ward games are real CoD. Just because treyarch and Activision slap on a title doesnt make it real.

Is dark Soul 2 real sequel or is Bloodborne? Easy right? Bloodborne is real sequel. There will always be B team and A team. Dark Soul 2 could not become actual successor. We all know.
 
Yea.. I don't buy that for one second. If we see the game at all in 2016 I'll be surprised. 2017 is a safer bet, and even then I wouldn't bet on it being out by then.

I really don't think the stuff presented in the trailer looked interesting at all. I think it visually looked good. But it didn't look interesting. Worse, the material seems to exacerbate some of the issues I had with FF13. Now, I can only speak for myself, not for anyone else, and if you like what you've seen, great. But for me, release timing is not important because I'm thoroughly unconvinced the product will be worth it whenever it does release.

I still don't understand about XV phenomena from last event...
