Wow, that's depressing. Especially if the dev team felt that the game was unfinished. The dev process must have been a scramble.

Most of all you were cut Lady Lunafreya.

This XV Versus Saga is really neverending.
I have lost my sleep tonight over this.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
To be fair, while playing the game, it's really obvious where *insert scene here* belongs. Connecting the dots isn't that hard to do.
I kind of expected that going in. Metal Gear Solid V, the other development hell game of this gen, didn't even have a story to piece together.
I'm not saying it's acceptable, don't get me wrong.
Also, my bet: Snowy Shiva area is in Prompto DLC.
I mean while XIII and it's many sequels were being developed, we knew they were pulling a lot of staff from VsXIII for it.
Well thank god.
Hopefully they won't rush the new IP Tabata and co are working on.
Then again Aqua final design is a more modest version of what they originally intended because Disney was not OK with her being too exposed.
It would be an interesting read. I assume Nomura is forbidden under pain of death to say anything about VersusXIII.

I just went back and watched the E3 2013 trailer... now I'm sad at realizing how good that story could have been in it's full form.
I remember a lot of people thinking she was dead back in 2013. It was the most logical conclusion given the scenes shown.
Noctis talking about his heavy heart, Stella only being a memory... yeah, she's dead, Jim.
They also removed the shot with Kairi panties in the international release.

For some reason I thought you knew the script. That's why you were always so detailed at everything when it came to Versus and XV in my opinion.
I owe you an(other) apology.

It better not. I mean come on that team dod what they could with someone elses concept basically, a strict deadline(apparently he had to beg according to him for those two extra months of delay) and massive hype to live up to. They don't get a pass for some design decisions but I'll be damned of they don't get some credit for what we got after all that
Already done.

The burden of proof is on the non-believers in this case I think. Too many things add up, too many things make sense. Same as they started to with the 4chan leak.
I guess Terra and Cloud are the closest. This seems like it would have gone way past that.
Well, Marshe is a genocidal maniac.

Nomura did stuff just not Verse stuff it would seem .
That is not even counting them try to save FFXIV.

I'm amazed they managed to put this game out. Sucks that it's basically a shell of what it could have been. At least it's still fun to play and the ending was great.
FFvsXIII leaks make so much sense in hind sight. Noctis always sleeping. Gods of death, dreams, ghosts, illusions, all sound like something Nomura would be into.
At this point I would want Nomura to write down his whole plot outline for Versus XIII. Reading about XV's cut content bums me out.

Only Cloud. Terra was never crazy.
It makes way too much sense. Who knows, maybe it IS fake, but I wouldn't have been able to come up with that stuff after the fact, it's way easier to assume Stella was y'know, a regular living person
But then you watch these old trailers, especially E3, and it's just there... It matches up. I'm really thinking this is the real deal. It even works with the way her later scenes were directed
Like this?
It looks pretty eerie looking back at it.
Crazy
Looks like they just scrap what was being planned and did the abridged version, then the team couldn't finish that so we got the abridged remix edition.

And her death there is a perfect shakespearen-esque tragedy tii
Huh, no. Burden of proof is on the one who makes the claim.

That's FF7.
Why does it look like she's glitching at the end lmao
I actually liked Vanille as a character but her peppy shield honestly does make me think she lost it a bit
With Cloud it was mostly his background with SOLDIER and Zach. This would have been possibly an entire game full of hallucinations. Just complete off the rails.

I feel sorry for the guy, he is being eating alive and called a faggot like they think he was somehow responsible for how FFXV turned out, that place is nasty 
so like Cloud? Thankfully FF7 remake is on the way!

A lot got cut from Nomura's vision. Remember the post 2013 reveal gameplay?
The brohood was fighting in Crown City? All gone.
S-E probably said "we need to make this into a movie" and forced the team to scrap that entire sequence.

Even just looking at this scene again knowing she's dead:

It just kinda works. It's impossible to say whether this would've been better, but it does sound pretty fascinating.
Sad really. Time to burn Square to the ground
after FF12 hits PC
