Those pics are opening old wounds :/
And just like that, Stella shits on Luna from the highest rooftops.
Not that we didn't know Luna was shit already
Luna had no phone? She was so bad I hardly remember anything about her aside from her demise.

So Cindy was already in Versus yet people blamed Tabata and criticized him for her design.

Now that you put it this way, it seems to the case, lol. Plenty of flashbacks or perhaps playable scenes in Insomnia as well.I also find it interesting that everything from these concepts seem to be pre-Leviathan fight judging by the final game. Did the Nomura game even ventured on what happened after Altissia? lol

These are beautiful! Why weren't these in the artbook?!

I wonder if the majority of game takes place in those two places.Now that you put it this way, it seems to the case, lol. Plenty of flashbacks or perhaps playable scenes in Insomnia as well.

The Nomura game was a trilogy. They probably didn't do any significant planning for parts 2 and 3.
This is verrrrrry evident in how XV falls apart story-wise after Altissia.
Do we have an actual source on the trilogy thing other than Nomura saying that he wishes to expand the game with multiple entries? Because I always interpreted as if he wanted to make a FFXV compilation like VII and KH instead of episodic releases.
A world of Versus epic. Google it.Do we have an actual source on the trilogy thing other than Nomura saying that he wishes to expand the game with multiple entries? Because I always interpreted as if he wanted to make a FFXV compilation like VII and KH instead of episodic releases.
Going by the style, all of the art here was done by Roberto Ferrari who left the team when Nomura was taken off the project, so this is most likely Versus XIII art.
Roberto Ferrari said:This below is a frame of a storyboard made up of 130 other images that I made for an official presentation on may 30, 2013........ How many memories, there was still Stella...
Yeah, most likely it was part of a storyboard that Roberto Ferrari mentioned in one of his facebook post. One of the image is the same one as the image he posted here:

They had content but not time.Seeing this stuff makes me so sad. I liked the game but seeing glimpses of what it could have been is depressing. I also don't understand after all those years why they couldn't make a more engaging story because clearly they had the content.
This doesn't make sense. Stella and Noctis could never communicate via phones like normal humans. Instead they have to communicate via telepathy via magic dog.
This actually makes me feel a lot better about XV. It seems very similar, with the minor characters and CELLPHONES OMG being the only major loss.
Honestly, they should really have made it so that when the gang went back to Insomnia, they would've run into Luna who had barely escaped Insomnia at the end of Kingsglaive, then taken her with them, had some interactions with her & Noctis & the rest of them to build their relationship, then maybe have her being captured at some point while Noctis was going around powering himself up (and Luna gathering all the plague she can), then have Noctis & the gang rush to Altissia to save her. Then the game could've carried on much like it did in the final game (though optimally with less linearity). That way all the stuff in and after Altissia would carry more weight and they could've still build all of the story around the content/environments that was in the game as is.They had content but not time.

But how can Stella be on the phone if she was already dead? 🤔
THEN WHO WAS PHONE
I mean, he kept her in the game, so he's responsible at some level. Everyone knows the Italian character designer is the one who created her design, that's obvious, but I can see why people would criticize Tabata for her too.So Cindy was already in Versus yet people blamed Tabata and criticized him for her design.
The story is designed to be entirely from Noctis' POV so I guess one of the reason it suffered was they were too fixated on Noctis and his journey of road trip and brotherhood.I wonder about this because the beginning of the game actually has a really sparse story and I would think that if that was the issue that would be the inverse. I think they told the story they wanted to tell for the most part (besides the rushed parts after Altissa) which is weird because one of the main criticisms of FFXIII was story.
stella! stella! ...
Oh Stella,
Some stars burn out...
Before they ever get a chance to truly shine~
The road trip aspect wasn't the problem.The story is designed to be entirely from Noctis' POV so I guess one of the reason it suffered was they were too fixated on Noctis and his journey of road trip and brotherhood.
There could be a better way to approach this, sure. But what can I say when even Nomura himself was fixated on road trip and brotherhood during the Versus era. Tabata was just told to carry his baggage and reshape it into something playable, which he did.
Stella: Noctis, you are not the one for me
Noctis: STEEELLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAA
Glad to see Cor's relevance in the story remained the same judging by these storyboards.
