Reminds me of that theater unveiling of "fake Square" introducing people to Final Fantasy XV, which showed Versus becoming XV, ending with a roar from the theater. That turned out to be staged, but oddly, the concept(Versus becoming XV) was coincidentally true.

This was crazy....

 

[eliochip]

I guess Eidos is paying the bills for another year.

And then get blamed for being the reason the company is bleeding money

 

[Josman]

This company is a fucking mess

The game was announced 8 YEARS AGO, jesus

 

[Vocal Orgasmizzle]

Like it was going to be good anyway.

Spoiler

I wouldn't be surprised if the footage from last year was all CG

I'm a huge DS9 fan and have never seen this before. AMAZING.

 

[Father_Brain]

It's real.

A real fake, but someone did make it.

It'll probably become real well before FFXV ships, LOL.

 

[Ganon Dragmire]

Then what's the famitsu lightning thing ?

DLC of what she wore in the ending,

Spoiler

plus extended ending of her driving in a red convertable in France to Serah's wedding, then she goes to a bar after, is sad and lonely, but finds (adult) Hope.

 

[KePoW]

Anyone know if this is actually true??

 

[Cloud Strife]

Okay, Cloud Strife. :lol

Horse shit. You'll come crawling back with a FF7 remake or some kind of Crisis Core remaster or maybe a type 0 or a duodecim.(I joke, I hope you stay true to your words, for their worth is in peril with each tasty release).

Square created you. You'll sit in that cupboard until they say otherwise

This Cloud has had enough of Square's bullshit. See you all in 2777 for the FFVII remake.

 

[funkystudent]

I wonder how staff at Square Enix west / Edios feel when they get publicly shammed or fired if the game doesnt meet goals but the guys back in Japan get to do whatever.

8 year dev cycles? Whatever!
MMO busted? Just build it again. Whatever!
Everyone hate that one game you spend 5 years making? Make 2 sequels!

 

[akidnamededdy]

And then get blamed for being the reason the company is bleeding money

"Hitman and Tomb Raider only sold three and a half million each? Get your shit together, guys. The next eight years of FFXV development aren't gonna pay for themselves."

Anyone know if this is actually true??

notsureifserious.jpg

Are we getting to the point now where there are people posting here who weren't even alive when the game was announced? I would totally believe it.

 

[Sciortino]

Anyone know if this is actually true??

Final Fantasy XV started production shortly before its announcement in May 2006

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XV

Yes. 8 YEARS.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Anyone know if this is actually true??

SE shown a trailer in 2006, announcing the game alongside FF XIII.

 

[KePoW]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XV

Whoa... so what have they been doing for 8 years?? I have not followed this game.

 

[Yopis]

Wow what a joke…

 

[Lady Bird]

If Kitase and Toriyama are involved in this unannounced game and it gets revealed at E3 whilst XV is absent, it will be the final nail in the coffin for GAF.

I wouldn't be surprised with an announcement of FFX-3.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I was 12 when this game was announced...? Holy crap.

 

[Sciortino]

Whoa... so what have they been doing for 8 years?? I have not followed this game.

As well as PS3 hardware limitations.

 

[RMI]

It'll probably be in time for the PS5 release.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

As well as PS3 hardware limitations.

Pls, don't believe this crap.

 

[ugoo18]

I'm vexed. I am fucking seething. I made a bet with someone that FFXV would be released before Nintendo's currently unnamed "X" and now I am pretty much fucked. This has got to be one of the worst managed games of all times from a business stand point. I can not wait until Nomura leaves this company and forms his own church. It will be a new reformation.

You bet on Square to release FFXV the game in development limbo before Nintendo released X?

You bet on Square to release FFXV before Nintendo released X?

You bet on Square to release before Nintendo?

You bet on Square?

Even when Nintendo delays they still release in a more timely manner than Square.

 

[Sciortino]

Pls, don't believe this crap.

you think? Im just stating whats been said lol.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Whoa... so what have they been doing for 8 years??

EXACTLY.

 

[KHlover]

Mgrmgrmgr seems like I have to satisfy my Final Fantasy cravings with Bravely Default 2. Actually regarding that...will we see footage of BD2 this E3? Or do we have to wait for TGS?

 

[Cloud Strife]

Whoa... so what have they been doing for 8 years?? I have not followed this game.

You are so lucky, I was 12 when this was announced, now I'm almost 21.

 

[LorDjidane]

You are so lucky, I was 12 when this was announced, now I'm almost 21.

Holy shit that really puts it into perspective.

 

[CLBridges]

Well damn! Saw thread title and thought "nah, can't be!". Whelp, at least I know there will be info. on FFXIV and I'm having a lot of fun with that game. And I'm hopeful that WiiU "X" will fill the void this time around.

 

[Casval]

I'm still excited for E3.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

FFXV better be the Apocalypse Now of video games...

 

[McBryBry]

I was 10, and I turn 19 next month. :'(

 

[Ninjimbo]

So that trailer last year, was that footage from a real game or just a target video?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Holy shit that really puts it into perspective.

Yea, I went through my who childhood waiting for this game.

I've gone through middle school, high school and will most likely finish college by the time FFXV comes out.

 

[Casval]

So that trailer last year, was that footage from a real game or just a target video?

People here say target render, mostly.

 

[Soriku]

Is there any truth to Hashimoto saying development is going smoothly?

 

[$200]

We're actually gonna get Half Life 3 before this.

 

[todd360]

At least they were nice enough to tell us its going to be a no show this year. Not like that happened in the past few e3s.

 

[Tidus_Great]

they will delay it so long they will switch it back to FF versus 13
maybe they should just give up and remake FF7, FF8,FF9 and remaster FF12 those are when they were actually good. the FFX remaster was better than any games they currently make same would be said if the remade other old FFs

 

[Barakov]

S-E is really the poster child for the argument for not showing a game before you have a good idea on when it's going to come out.

 

[Casval]

At least they were nice enough to tell us its going to be a no show this year. Not like that happened in the past few e3s.

No, Square Enix have done that in the past, much to the dismay of many anticipants.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Oh man, so safe to say it's not coming out any time soon? At least I will have the fan-made opus, Mother 4, to keep my RPG appetite satiated.

 

[Booty Patrol]

I prefer a digital copy so if you could send me 3 $20 eshop codes, that would be pleasant.

 

[SephiZack]

Whoa... so what have they been doing for 8 years?? I have not followed this game.

I guess they started to do the coding on PS3, then scratched everything and went next-gen

 

[botty]

I prefer a digital copy so if you could send me 3 $20 eshop codes, that would be pleasant.

😒

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Please Square

Guys this is fake or real

Wasted efforts even though fake.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Honestly, I have a very hard time believing this is true. I mean, yeah, SE seems like an awful company with no sense of priorities, but the idea that this won't be at E3 sounds downright insane.

 

[That Dude John]

You are so lucky, I was 12 when this was announced, now I'm almost 21.

Brah, I'm already 21. Lol

 

[TheTux]

No KH3 was pretty obvious.

No FFXV is hurting me. When will the timing be right ? They'll just keep releasing a new trailer every 2 years lol?

Anyway in Taiwan he said something like "Come see what we have in Tokyo" so maybe he was hinting at Tokyo Game Show?

Q1 : In E3 that will be arranged in this June, is there any new information about FFXV or KHIII?

A : We would like to keep it secret. It just only a few months from now. I'm pretty sure you will be surprised.*
Actually it is not only in June, there will be many events from now on such as San Diego Comicon, Tokyo Game Show, and others.
We might tell you what is our plans, but it's better you see by yourself at Tokyo. (laugh)

Of course that's just a fanmade translation.

Edit: this cycle never ends, I'm hyped for E3 because of FFXV, then I'm hyped for TGS because of FFXV.

omg, they have to be doing this on purpose.

 

[Akira]

This thread and the Witcher 3 thread painfully shows the current state and trajectory of AAA JRPG and WRPG. One showcasing inefficient development cycle and other ascending and putting out something that seems to have much better production values at half the budget. I will get both regardless, but SE needs to reevaluate their ways.
