Final Fantasy XV - Taipei Game Show 2015

You know I wonder what Nomura thinks about this situation, a time when FFXV is finally being shown and people are really excited. Makes me wonder if this game becomes successful and Tabata becomes a top director in the genre how would that make him feel? Shit I would be bitter and each passing day Nomura's contributions are slowly being forgotten quite sad.. I wish there's a indepth story as to what happen that led to the change , I would pay money for that.

Nevertheless I'm hyped for this game and Tabata is doing a great job.

Don't worry, Nomura will be top director after KH3 becomes better than FFXV ;)


But yeah, I really hope they touch the subject in some way after the game is out.

Tai yasue seems like the everyday director though, but I'm sure Nomura is giving his input. But back on topic so is it possible Shiva attacking noctis? I hope they don't make shiva naked like FF8 assuming she's in the game.

She is pretty much naked in every FF though.. even more so in earlier ones. I think in VI she was fully naked just arms and legs were blocking everything.

This is how I feel when it goes below 60.
 
She's also in Revenant Wings if you're going by counting settings/lore rather than individual games.

(And by extension in Tactics etc)
 
There should be a part where Noctis and co. turned into cats by a magic show performer in a cruise ship, which then have you explore the entire ship in that manner and uncover a Gambler cheating his way in roulette games.
 
Dog cam best cam.

Pfft cats.

Train scene looks awesome. Hopefully it is the Shiva fight!
 
Hey, what should we show for our highly anticipated dramatic fantasy RPG?
Cats? Yeah cats will do.
 
A train station already looks huge... how big is this world going to be? O.o They're really putting all their efforts in this Final Fantasy. It's amazing how ambitious the scale is going to be.
 
WTH is Square Enix doing with those cats and dogs? Concentrate on the core gameplay! They have enough difficulties completing a project already! Talk about poor focus and management.

Before
Players: WTH SE is so secretive and dishonest about the game. Where is Versus XIII!!111?

After
Players: WTH SE why bother to share towns and environments that are still in development. Poor management!!!11111

They should do a Metal Gear Risng type thing, Tabata trash talks Nomura the entire time and goes on about Square bringing him on to save the day ala Platinum Games.
And why, exactly, would Tabata trashtalk Nomura? Tabata owes a lot to Nomura. Nomura himself is responsible for giving Tabata his first chance with directing Before Crisis, after which he moved on to direct Crisis Core (collaborating with Nomura again) and then got to develop Type-0 (another game with Nomura).

Very few of FFVsXIII's problems came from inside the project itself (other than the game being a huge project and huge projects always have their fair share of problems to solve even in best case scenarios) and were caused more by company-wide issues, which delayed the production of what would be a massive production in the first place. First SQEX had the Crystal Tools problems that forced the Versus team to create their own custom tools since CT was wholly inadequate for what they were aiming for, then FFXIII was in trouble so the FFVsXIII team had to help with that for ~a year, then FFXIV1.0 came out and was a huge clusterfuck that put the whole company into chaos for many years. All of these were completely unrelated to FFVsXIII's development, yet had a pretty big impact on how its development could even advance.

In comparison, after the FFVsXIII team had helped finish FFXIII, it only took a year for Nomura to have the January 2011 trailer to show (made by a relatively small team) and the game world was fully traversable in Fall 2011. So the project did advance at a pretty steady pace while in Nomura's care when they didn't have stuff bogging them down. The game just was so late in entering full production + problems with XIV were hogging development resources + in the end the game they were developing was somewhat constrained by the hardware they were working on + the murmur about next-gen consoles started around that time, so they made the decision to ditch the PS3 version, at which point it seems they brought in Tabata to head the "next-gen version", probably partly to force Nomura to focus on Kingdom Hearts III more than he could have if he was still directing FFXV at the busiest time of its development.
 
I guess I have unrealistic expectations but that blizzard scene was actually disappointing to me. I think it's the hair. With such detail put into the model for the hair, it moving around in blocks looks worse than if it were Mr Potato-Head plastic to me.

I bought a PS3 (over a 360) for this game, so maybe my hopes for its progression just cannot be achieved at this point.. Still, I have faith this will be a return to form for Square, and anxiously await the elusive release date.
