So Versus would have featured...
... children murdering other children because of voices in their heads
... yakuza offering familiars as sacrifices in order to gain powers
... blood spilling enemies
... murdered girls coming back from the death as beautifully designed female characters
... people hurting themselves in order to view ghosts
... an entire nation worshipping the idea of death
... dog puppies that would transform into merciless ninjas
Just let that sink in.
What if Yoko Taro wears a mask because he and Nomura are the same person?
I actually had another dream last night about Versus, lol. Viewing some in progress footage, there was cool shit like point warping out to the ocean and going up into the atmosphere to fight the Knights of The Round summon, as high as you get when summoning Ramuh, followed by point warping again back to Altissia from a mile out.
Then one of the sequences involved Noctis turning into a Daemon. One of his powers was the ability to become a literal shadow on a flat surface, and after hallucinating that Stella was being held captive by Niflheim soldiers, he uses this to travel along the wall, and then ceiling to try and get to her. He attempts to reach her, but she doesn't actually exist, so he transforms into this beast type thing. It's like this Kazuma Kaneko-style concept design, where Noctis becomes this hideous demon with a gaping maw that extends down part of his torso, with his limbs are restrained to his body. The Stella apparition still looks human, and just as pretty, but her hair and dress are turned completely black, and she now has her hands in demon-Noctis' back, like she(or the memory of her) is controlling him directly like a literal puppet. Basically, he's then forced to attack and kill all of the nearby soldiers before LITERALLY EATING THEM. It was pretty gruesome, because it was in the manner of a snake. Demon/puppet/PTSD Noctis would open up Gaping Dragon style and just swallow the soldier whole, stretching and expanding to do that.
That shit was weird.
I dunno, maybe I'll draw some of this shit out, lol.
BUT NOMURA'S VISION
such a clusterfuck.
I would have loved that, tbh.
