I'm not sure it's actually all that late in the game.
This is likely not releasing until at least Fall 2016 and it sounds like Duscae is the only part of the game even remotely done (basically their vertical slice).
Stella has been removed from FFXV; Itamuro writing game; Demo 2 June 9; FFXV not @ E3

Downgrade confirmed?

I just caught the last part of the thread title. So FFXV is going to be absent from E3 completely?! I know someone said it wasn't going to feature heavily, but I was hoping for a short trailer at the very least.
Bummer. I nominate this the most depressing thread of the day.
I bet Luna's knees are sharp as shit. Nothing like Stella's lovingly rendered round knees.

iirc, they wanted to have short gameplaytrailer/tech demo, but the western marketing studio said no.
They are planning to start the whole marketing campagin/reboot for this game at the gamscom

I thought the girl with floating magical weaponry was cooler. It really ain't that complicated.

While its a bummer she wont be in the game after almost 10 years of waiting. Luna is basically filling that role. Probably not in an antagonistic way, like how Stella was portrayed at times. Like when she draws her rapier against Noct. Glad it's finally confirmed. Another small step closer to release.

Don't care about the Stella stuff. Didn't really have an attachment to the character considering all I knew of her came from bits and piece of japanese trailers over the course of 7 years. Playing coy about it for nearly a year seems kinda pointless, though.
The Dissidia writer being involved raises all kinds of red flags.

Wait what?
This is a single-player game, not a MMO.
When I saw that artwork as the propaganda piece played saying the subtitle in the picture, I figured they tried to assassinate both families, Noctis was smuggled out by his bros while his dad sacrificed himself but Lunafreya had to fight her way out, probably murderizing everyone in the process. She looks like she's seen some shit. If the story's similar, she probably has powers of somesort.
I think everyone's concern trolling over there not being a strong enough female and they built up Stella in their heads to be some kind of paragon in this regard. FF is a pretty inclusive series, so 'wait and see' is the only sane advice anyone should be taking. The 'all-male party' thing has become a boogeyman to certain internet voices.
If the game ends up sucking, it will probably end up sucking from a mechanical standpoint.
While we did know a lot about Stella, literally the only things we know about Luna is that she seems to hold the same political position/status that Stella originally did, she was at the party when the empire attacked just like Stella, only without Noctis, and she has something to give to Noctis. That's it. Anything else about her being a damsel in distress is pure speculation.

Luna/Stella doesn't bother me too much but wtf at Nojima being replaced.
The game could still end up being good of course, but it's pretty clear at this point that XV will look nothing like the original Nomura/Nojima vision (which bums me out as the original trailer completely captured my imagination back then). And yes, I'm still pissed off by the removal of character switching.

People blasting Dissidia's,writing..
I was Almost positive Dissidia was written ironically...like a self aware joke.
(actually I liked Dissidia's plot...)

Sort of behind on this, but do you work for Square Enix or something Kagari?

Seems like they're totally scrapping the original basis behind the story...
Lol @ all these people hating the demo being reworked because of their emotional stance. "I feel like its only because..." "It feels like the devs are..."
What the hell are you people talking about?
Its 2015. Trust me there's some financial gain to be had in their strategy.
I think they want a more definitive demo in peoples hands so that they can actually use the feedback people have, as opposed to "yeah my bad its not even like that in the real game the demo was just super early" which is useless.
They've been investing in this title for like 10 years and FF's reputation is on the line. They want to make sure they get it right. Its not like they're going to blow their load making the demo awesome from scratch and whoops we forgot about making the game here it is rushed and half complete.
Get a grip.
And I doubt the scriptwriter will make the script bad. He has source material already written.

Never played Dissidia, how is the writing in that game?
Akiyama as well? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of Shimomura too...

Did they quit or were they pushed aside?

what was akiyamas role?

Horrible.
But the writer from Dissidia is Watanabe, not Itamuro...
So I guess all we have to base on is the demo.
It has some good moments and characters interactions but the scenario in general?
EDIT: Then again, what threelights said above =3
They don't even have magic ready yet, adding a basic feature like that must mean that you have to revisit/twerk previously "finished" areas as well, no?
Shit.

Holy shit. Original concept of the world, story and characters by Nomura and now written by the Dissidia guy? This might turn out to have an even worse plot than the FFXIII saga, and that's saying something
As for the stella thing, I just hope the new blonde girl does also have a relevant role in the story. In one old trailer it looked like Stella was pretty badass, hopefully the new one isn't just some girl that needs to be saved.

This. Because of that, I liked Stella's look more.
Then Prompto will be renamed Vaan and the game will be released as FF-XII 2. I don't think is that much far fetched
Nah in the demo they were going to the Disk to see if Titan has awoken.
She alive its just the news thinks Luna is dead.
Akiyama no longer doing Event? This hurts.
For the love of god, just cancel this game and move on. It's a never-ending parade of changes, delays, fan-teases, etc. Just cancel it and be done with the thing.
And if you feel like it Square Enix, do a Konami and go mobile only. I really am tired of the great gaming companies of old being clusterfucks nowadays. Rather have them gone than decrepit and degraded.

They say Nojima already wrote the entire story. But they had to change and cut stuff (such as Stella and the party scene).
Akiyama was not even mentioned in the ATR...

I am tired of repeating this but....... the badass Stella that you saw was already removed by Nomura. All of the later Versus trailers showed Stella as a Princess that showed a love interest for Noctis. It wasn't a one-on-one fight like the very first trailer (Kagari's avatar). She was just seen in the party scene and her character was likely redesigned at that point. People just let their imagination run wild based on some old concept which was already scrapped.
