Honestly, I wish WRPGs appealed to me as much as JRPGs (like this, not the tales or atelier games) do.
The Witcher 1 & 2, didn't gain my attention. But The Witcher 3 has it right now. Maybe because of the pretty graphics I don't know. But still...

Jesus.
Yep. The Witcher series didn't even exist then. The third will be out before FFXV. There has also been two European Football Championships (2008 & 2012) and two World Cup tournaments (2006 & 2010) since, with the third starting next week.

Also seven Assassin's Creed games.
EDIT: that's counting Liberation. If you count Comet and Unity coming this year, it'll be nine. Nine Assassin's Creed games conceived, announced, developed, and released since FFXV was announced.

Being fair is half the budget because low cost in developoment of country where is developed.
Now that's pretty incredible. Hell, Mass Effect didn't either.
Why is the country of origin an inherent factor regarding development costs?

That's not a fair comparisson, several teams works on every AC game.
The Witcher trilogy was made by a (rather) small polish developer. That's reeeeeeeeeeeally sad for SE, even more seeing that they won't match W3 graphics....
Yup. The AC series has unfolded over the course of about 8-9 years. It's younger than Versus in terms of public knowledge. lol
But their hair and clothes will be FABULOUS.
What makes it worse is they don't even have many b-tier games to pad the release schedule anymore
Why isn't triace given more work
Simply baffling
Paying the devs themselves monthly accounts for much of the costs related to the development of video games. In the country where the Witcher is made, salaries are lower. That's a big factor.

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the workspace behind the scenes. Do they just chat, have social hour for about half the day then like at the last two or so hours decide to actually work?
I mean what do they do?
I mean what do they do?
Alright, that makes sense. Thinking about it, there are also other elements such as government subsidies that can come into play.

I feel like even working two hours a day, they should still have more to show for it than they do now. I don't know how they haven't all died of embarrassment for wasting such a gargantuan amount of time.

Yeah, but they're still huge games, with big HD towns (which are hard lol) and huge production values, and also there will have been at least nine of them before XV is released. Don't tell me that's not at least a little embarrassing for SE.
Your Witcher comparison is also very embarrassing for SE.
Basically SE is embarrassing.
There's been rumors about a Sony JRPG, but of course, those are just rumors.

I have a horrible, completely irrational feeling FFXV might be the last big budget AAA FF.
I just don't know how this shitty organization can even attempt making another ambitious FF game without it taking a ridiculous amount of time.
As EatinOlives pointed out a page or two back- they really haven't had a smooth mainline FF production since as far back as FFX. That was 2001.
Even with Wada gone I'm not filled with a lot of confidence regarding S-E upper management. I mean, was it a bad translation last year when they said they'd start being more transparent with FFXV's production and we'd get more frequent updates?
We haven't gotten shit in 12 months and if Kagari's information is accurate (I have no reason to believe it's not) we might not be getting anything for a few more months still.
These days it seems the real visionaries within the company are either swallowed up, handcuffed, or forced out. I can't think of many young, talented individuals within S-E that can carry the torch. They just don't seem to be grooming a lot of new talent- at least on the surface. Remember when Nomura was the young hotshot? He'll be 44 in October.
There was a creative culture within this company absolutely bursting at the seams creating new projects, new IPs, continuing old favorites, and had the respect of everyone in the industry. Fast-forward about 14 years and the situation is a night & day difference.
I believe, whenever it hits, that FFXV will be a big hit. It's hugely anticipated, it'll look outstanding, and it'll sell a lot of copies- but that said, Hashimoto (I think?) has already hinted at plans to make sequels to it. It's already being designed as possibly another 'trilogy', like XIII, and that just doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth after the past few years.
The whole thing just fucking bums me out.

Might be. The in-game footage they showed was clearly bullshit and the game will not look like that. Same with WKC, Watch Dogs and all that shit.
But as with TLG i'd rather have someone to come out and say 'yeah, we've cancelled the whole thing'. Then start over with something else, keep the silence and announce when the release date is surely only a year away or so.
Remember when FFVII - FFIX came out within 3 years from eachother? Yeah those were times.

The truth; I am 21 and in my senior year of college. The wait has been miserable to say the least. It also doesn't help that it dragged Kingdom Hearts III with it.
All I really want to see is more companies try to capture that same kind of magic that SE had in the SNES - PS(2) era. Outside of Xenoblade, I can't say I've really played anything that feels like it's in that vein.
I guess Sony saw this coming and sold all SE stocks before the value dropping again?
What does SE even have for 2014, 2015 beside remastered stuff?
LOL...oh man, I guess we shouldn't have bought FFX:RM because SE will now remastered FF13 at this point before releasing a new IP.
