FINAL FANTASY XV - Announcement Trailer | E3 2013

[@Mikhailstrubler]

R.I.P. : - The True Leviathan Fight - Eyes that see the light of expiring souls - All the villains of this game besides Ardyn - Any real character development for Regus - The True Leviathan Fight - True peace treaty betrayal - True infiltration of Insomnia - The True Leviathan Fight - Hooded Ravus - The True Leviathan Fight - Wave Dashing Noctis - The True Leviathan Fight - The entire story (almost) - The True Leviathan Fight

[@epanlauw9933]

i hope final fantasy versus xv is real

[@Mikhailstrubler]

epanlauw 99 honestly, that would be square enix literally retconning an entire game which not only has taken a decade of resources to get released, but is still being worked on with dlc updates. Anyone who believes in Versus XV is just lying to themselves. The best we can hope for is that some of the cool aspects of Vesrus get added as new DLC chapters, but don't expect Stella or a new storyline entirely. My biggest hope is to include playable insomnia invasion and true Leviathan fight, but that is already extremely unlikely.

[@epanlauw9933]

I can get over Stella, but I have NO IDEA why they would take out the invasion scene. From the looks of this, it was so well directed, and would have been a much more gripping start to the game than Noctis and crew pushing a car. It's one of the biggest plot points in the game, and they decided to just let you hear it over the radio.

[@brucelee5482]

Totally agree with you. Idk why Tabata replaced whole concept of Nomura's FFXV.

[@TheTerroux]

That's because Tabata wanted to make a single game and explore the world of FFXV through a movie and an anime series . Nomura wanted to make sequels , like FFXV-2 ,and that stuff ! :) feel grateful

QQ Which invasion scene did you refer? The one with Leviathan? That's still in the game.

[@MC-hj8wv]

No the insomnia one. I'm happy the leviathan one is still in though

[@dhanang]

QQ Because Insomnia would be too big to be a part of an open world game. Just how many tall buildings they have to make to be accessible and in the end most of them are destroyed.. That's one big reason among others.

[@Jiyodan153]

@@eriol33 the original director Tetsuya Nomura spent near 8 years spinning his wheels and making no progress. Square is a company and need to get the game out the door. Nomura was kicked off and replaced with Tabata who had to somehow organize the mess of ideas Nomura left and get the entirely unmotivated team to come together and put out a game in a pretty short amount of time considering everything Nomura had promised. Coupled with Square insisting they use an incredibly finicky new engine and a huge crunch on development time, they just couldnt add in everything they wanted. A large portion of the story had to be scrapped because it conflicted with what had been shown by Nomura or they just didnt have time to make it fit into the new streamlined narrative.

"The legend meets its match" Square Enix said that they will remake VII if there will be a Final Fantasy as good as VII. So actually Square Enix announced the FF VII remake 2013 because they are confident about the succes of XV. Well played Square Enix, well played

[@Gamerpsychologist92]

LFreak2 2017 is also FFVII's 20th anniversary. That is the main reason why they are remaking VII.

[@rob19ny]

[@jonettheonly]

+LFreak2 didn't they announce the remake 2015? im confused.

[@LFreak2]

+Jonét Harry Yes, officially. What I mean is, that people wanted the remake so bad and SE many times said, that there has to be another Final Fantasy title as successful/good as VII (legend) was. Now in this trailer they hinted the confidence of XV beeing a great game. So great, that production of VIIR has begun.

[@LFreak2]

+Gzus Kreist No that's wrong. Also legends need some time to become one so that makes absolutely no sense.

[@rob19ny]

If only the Dragon Ball's exist. I would have wished for 2013's XV(still Versus XIII).

[@rob19ny]

Rino Citarella Well, everything after E3 2013(Tabata era trailers) was misleading since it wasn't Versus. We(those who followed the game closely) knew the game wasn't the same once Nomura left so all hype was dead from there. lol That was obvious when the game was re-revealed at TGS 2014. Tabata even stated during the June 2015 ATR that XV and Versus(E3 2013 and prior) are not the same game. All that was left was to play a bad game to see that we were right. Note: Not saying this as if you don't know. Just saying to make a point. lol

[@WideHorizons90]

rob19ny This wasn't a good game. Sure the game play was okay but as a Final Fantasy title the story has taken a massive back seat. It annoys me that this is the direction SquareEnix has been taking to fulfil the attention span of people that don't care for story and characters who just want a hack and slash with no strategy. I'll stick to my older FF titles before ever I go back to this!

[@GuitarJester89]

rob19ny Nomura was still directing it until like 2015? So... yeah. Cant remember if it was 2014 or 2015.

[@adamazmi6340]

Realz786 The old stories are great but not the gameplay man. Turn based is dead. Plus action combat requires more strategy than turn based which you only have to spam the attack button.

AdamRonaldo1903 Are you being serious?! I don't know if you played any old FF games if you think turn based doesn't require any strategy.

Maybe a FF15 Remake?

[@evancovington1129]

MultiMaxTaylor It has literally just came out

[@GuitarJester89]

Zemo M.A. Has nothing to do with the director change. All the changes that lead to the current XV happened before the director swap. What hurt the game was the unrealistic deadline given to Tabata and team. They had not even 3 years to finish it. They were told it had to be bt end of 2016. A developer did an interview about it. And said that roughly 50% of the game was cut and/or just not finished in time. He said they worked on an explorable area where Shiva is for weeks. And even that got cut. It was due to time. Oh, And Bku Ray space was an issue. 50% of the game cut, And the Blu Ray is still maxed.

[@xKALLx1]

GuitarJester89 Mate, the entire plot of Versus is missing, that is ENTIRLEY because of the director change. He didn't like the story he was trying to tell, so he canned it. Luna and Stella epitomise this.

Too bad it won't be like anything you saw in this trailer. The story's been rewritten so the main cast is outside of the city during the invasion. Less exciting and this smooth gameplay was tossed aside for a more "realistic" and slow/laggy gameplay.

[@lucasmadriaga6379]

+Keeperofthemoon The invasion is in the Kingsglaive movie, and Nocts was outside the city during it.

[@Ziaun90]

some of it wont, simply due to the story have been rewritten and that part were in the old franchise versus, not XV, so thats the reason you can call these things.. Stella is out, one of the situations you see have played out in the movie, and even the king looks different. So with what we have i say around 50-70 procent of that we saw is not going to happen, though i have paid for this game since 2011, i will say this, i would rather have had the old story line, but i see the promise in this as a game aswell, but i personaly have lost a quite amount of respect for Square Enix, after this launch. And that is due to the obvious marketing and the failing of said marketing, made this game quite wierd to look forward to, but i have looked forward to this game since the leek ten years ago, and the dark universe is not the same, as the one we have in the current FFXV.. I have seen the movie and it is by any strech a good movie, and an awesome animation picture. I now have more respect for the game, but i still miss that feel, the old versus had..

The part with Leviathan is still in. It's been in majority of the trailers released recently. The city part got cut, as that's Insomnia.

FF XV trailers have more story than the entire FF XV's cutscenes. Instead of writing a coherent story, Tabata filled this game with 300+ fetch quests and slap the name of FF XV. The final product barely resembles what we have ever seen in the trailers.
