Writes a lot, says very little
When they delayed Versus XIII into oblivion and rolled the assets into the turd that is FF XV is when they lost me as a customer. A proper release would bring me back. It might bring them back too...
Proper release of what? lol
I'm sorry man, you guys don't even fucking know if what was even left from Versus XIII would have even been good, its almost as if some of you have made up a whole fictional game in your heads or something.
Even if we get some "directors cut", I caution anyone on thinking its some radically different game, for all you know the opening is different where Noctis is with that Stella person, kingdom gets attacked, you fight mechs, they separate, he speeds off with his dumbass friends and ohhhhh boy the car broke down (ie the start of FFXV as you know it) annnnnnd the rest of the game is the same.
We just don't have enough context regarding any of that, the writer of the game doesn't even seem to care btw as he feels FFXV is faithful to what was written about FF Versus XIII
So I don't really buy that the BEST PART of that whole game was just left behind, maybe it really wasn't that good of a game man
If we ever get some remaster, directors cut etc, don't get your hopes up, FFXVI didn't have any of that and was still "meh"
For all you know, that really is how FF Versus XIII was going to be received, to hype it up like "would bring me back", how do you know you'd like what the actual, REAL version of that game was going to be though? So folks make it sound like all the bad in FFXV is based on its current director and its like, you don't even fucking know WHAT those elements are that he added that wasn't even in the original to cry over it.
Maybe.....just maybe FF Versus XIII was going to be bad and maybe we only got FFXV because of a director that put in all the important elements to actually make a final game and people's reaction is what likely would have been if it was still "Versus XIII"
I know man, I was hype for it too from the very first trailer, when I was first learning Japanese, I did so JUST to read some the articles regarding this game, read up on all the leaks etc ,but realistically, I must concede that maybe, objectively what was being talked about based on its core concept, really is what released with FFXV. Maybe what we think it was going to be, is not feasible based on the level of hype that was around the game for so long, I mean, you had people fucking saying the tone of the game was darker...you saw 1 fucking trailer and spent years acting is if THAT WHOLE THING was the whole game, yet we see its merely 1 scene, that is what this type of hype can do.
but I digress
