            Source? Nomura was open about not developing Verum Rex till KH4 is finished, the co-director literally said "We aren't big enough to make two AAA games, so we choose KH4 first".

      The game had a three-year development plan from September 2013 till 2016 (later delayed by 2 months). I remember an early Tabata interview where he said the money Square gave him was not enough and he went to ask for more. Square in 2013 was weird fricks who thought consoles and AAA games would die and that the cloud and mobile games were going to take over, so they didn't have much faith and slashed all their AAA games budgets, Deus Ex, Just Cause..etc

          The moment he left around September 2013, the board immediately canceled the XV trilogy and made it into the 7R remake Trilogy. Some anon found a LinkedIn of some Japanese dev who worked on a 7Remake prototype all the way back in December 2013.

    FFXV is the most disappointing game I've ever played and Altissia stands as a monument to its hubris.
    All those man hours, all that beautiful design, the masterfully crafted texturework, modeling, art and conception, completely wasted on a minor 20 minute location that immediately gets blown the frick up.
    And then most of the game looks like a fricking 2002 shooter.
    FFXV is still one of the most beautiful games I've ever played but it's also for the most part one of the ugliest in every sense of the word.

        yeah, when the game goes FFXIII levels of linear, it feels like we jumped from set piece to set piece to that boring ass chapter 13 dungeon, to the empty set piece known as the final "dungeon" that you have to pay $15 to properly explore.

        I suspected it during the intro, i knew it after the first zone and i was done after titan. Funny moment: "yeah we're going to Altissia!", theme plays for 12 seconds, silent car ride to the harbor. The frick was that about. Put the fricking music in the game.
        The chocobo riding in FFXV is the best it's ever been, it feels really good, it's fu un. It's gud.

            The only thing the game's good for anyway is taking on hunt bills and camping around. You know what if anyone is currently on the fence about playing this one i have mantra for you:

            Frick Lunafreya, frick your father, frick the kingdom, i'm going camping with my friends.

There's so much empty space and only 2 cities (Insomnia and Lestallum) on the entire continent, the story happens in some random nondescript places until Altissia, which was already lifted from the 2013 trailer.

      The first trailer is Nomura's BS, but looking at FF7R and KH3, I can see it reaching those levels in some way, even if it was heavily scripted. The second one is absolute bullshit, almost a year before release, and none of it made any sense or made it in the game for that matter. You just know the story had many rewrites based on what had to be cut in middle production to meet the deadline. Looking back at it, it makes sense that Luna's abuse backstory was completely cut, which would explain her lack of screen time.
