Versus seemed like a classic Final Fantasy game/ambition made with modern tech. What we ended up getting in 15 was just a generic modern game with a FF skin.Staff leaving is part of it but another part is that they were building a game too ambitious for what the company ultimately knew how to make with the time and costs involved in modern gaming, and using their own engine to boot.Nomura came up in the era where he would purposefully make shit to push the limits of the staff and they would step up to the challenge. He set out to make Versus the biggest and craziest Final Fantasy ever and they didn't know wtf to do. He had a huge world with tons of completely different areas in mind, full towns like the old Final Fantasy games, vehicles, a huge combat system, tons of mini-games, level design to incorporate not just being on the ground but going up buildings and shit. But they ended up cutting what seems like half the content. KH3 was also cut short. Then they went to chapterized releases for FF7.We'll never know the kino that was cooking for Versus.
>>728480034Versus 13 was moved to being 3 games at some point because everyone realized it would never come out. The release version is not even 1 of those and even the final fully patched plus DLC version is maybe 1.Overambition was what killed V13.
I loved XV
>dev hell: the gameyeah I'm sure this would have been a masterpiece, that's how that usually ends up
Verses was vaporware. Just a bunch of concepts that never materialized into anything.
Barry keeps on ignoring me on Twitter. :(

>>728481857how about you barry deez nuts in your face
>>728481987>retarded touristWhat materialized other than a few trailers and short gameplay sequences?
>>728482645What the fuck else could have materialized? The finished game?
hmm
>>728482204AYOOOO
>>728481857Just say FF16 has a finished story unlike 15. He'll come running.
Stop posting Versus 13, it still fucking hurt.
>>728480034If you were born when Versus was announced you'd still be too old to cling to the fanfiction of how amazing a cancelled game would have been. Grow up already and move on.
>>728486284dilate tranny
old prompto looked cooler
>>728486284Even the playable demos put out before release were better than what we got. It's obvious FF15 is a shitshow.
>>728480034the fuck is yozora doing there bro

>>728480034>ff>soulFF is the very definition of soulless.
>>728491273FFI-FFX is pure soul from start to finish.
We could've had unironic FF spinoff kino, but square enix and it's retarded executives had to piss away all of it's budget on a trilogy with a pink-haired clone of cloud and her whore of a sister with time traveling nonsense and a bunch of other stupid projects that didn't pan out economically.
>>728480034I agree completelyIt's like when Daniel Craig got to picked to play the new 007 and the entire franchise got a makeover into a generic gritty action series instead of what 007 was known for
Never forget what they took from you.

Maybe it was just because I was younger, but seeing FF13Versus trailer for the first time felt like such a huge HOLY SHIT moment for the gaming community as wholeBack then the name FF still meant something and expensive cinematic were still rare. It was just such a feast for the eyes and instant anticipation/hype in every forum (yea remember those?) you used to visit
>>728492047This looked insanely floaty. Still better than what we got because what isn't but sadly it was never gonna be as good as KH II. Why is no one making a combat system as good as that?
>>728492642What were they thinking
>>728480034I think I'm the only person in existence that really enjoyed the road-trip-with-the-bros feel of the first third or so of FF15.Sucks that the game really falls off a cliff after that in terms of content density, but it was a bit of an abortion in terms of development cycle.
>>728492854They were thinking of making good games for the players back then (and their dicks like full blooded males, not the neutered ones we have today)
>>728480034Versus was never anything out of pre-production. They whipped up a concept with CGI for the E3 2006, and then a private gameplay trailer in 2009 that Nomura stated 'was merely a demo and most footage would not be used in the final game' before becoming vaporware until reforming as FFXV.
>>728493330Okay, and?
>>728491732>instead of what 007 was known forHave you ever read the Ian Fleming Bond novels?
>>728493330So like literally every video game ever made? Dumb retard.
>>728493581Yes every game clearly becomes vaporware for years on end.
>>728493538James Bond isn't known for its novels.
>>728492390It looks like KH1 with more weapons. The short air combo there is near identical.KH1 is the better game. They made the right call.
>>728491821it's running at the exact same framerate the game would have with this quality.Great ideas but 20 years too early
>>728480413You may have brain damage
>>728480034I miss triggering barry pre-15 lol.But yeah Versus seemed alright. The story setup was kinda interesting.
>>728493621Yes. Most games are barely made, retard.
