I dunno what you are talking about duckroll there's no game called Final Fantasy Versus XIII, you sir are full of it. Also in completely unrelated news i'm really looking forward to Final Fantasy XV for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems.

You are right. I haven't thought it like that. Has ever something happened like this in the movie industry or even in the videogame industry? I can only think of Duke Nukem Forever and Diablo 3.

You forgot:
Persona 4 Arena in Ultimax 2014
Persona Q in 2014
and still probably Persona: Dancing All Night
and maybe even Persona 5.
Goddamnit, Square Enix.
I would say I agree.
At least we've seen FFXV gameplay.
As of May 6, 2007, Nintendo owned controlling interest in the company after Bandai Namco Holdings sold 80% of its 96% stake in Monolith Soft to Nintendo. This went into effect May 1, 2007. Later Namco sold the remaining 16%, making Monolith Soft a first-party developer for Nintendo.
Development since being first party:
- Soma Bringer
- Disaster: Day of Crisis
- Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans
- Xenoblade Chronicles
- Xenoblade Chronicles X
Development co-operation since being first party on:
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier
- Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier EXCEED
- Project X Zone
- Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf
- Pikmin 3
- The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds

Just thinking, when/if this game actually does come out, how much content from the original 2006/2007 build do you think will be there?
Jesus. Since then we've gone through Vista, 7, 8, and it looks like we're about to see Windows 9.

Have we really or have we only really seen what they imagine gameplay to be like?

Man, imagine the amount of games the team would have made instead of having versus as a dead weight to them. Only facepalm worthy for this situation.
The Last Guardian seems to be following suit.
EDIT: I think with every development studio, there has to be an enough is enough. Seriously.

In 2006 you needed a college email to use Facebook, YouTube still limited videos to 10 minutes and SD resolution and had just been bought by Google, and there were no smartphones.
Don't forget that by the time this game releases, we'd have gone through four versions of Windows as well.

I was 23 when the game was announced. 31 now.
Most of these factoids are just things completely irrelevant to Final Fantasy XV, that coincidentally occurred during its (non)development. This doesn't impress me; I know how long ago 2006 was.
This list, however, totally highlights how much dawdling has occurred with XV's development.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I think everyone, including the company, is well aware they made a mistake announcing this project so early. How long are we going to punish them for that?

These two are the most eye opening ones for me. Mobile is such a large thing now that a number of people see it as a direct threat to the core market and dedicated hardware, and Versus XIII was announced before it was even really a thing. Indie games are also far more relevant now.
Another one:
I'm pretty sure Versus was announced before Google brought YouTube.

There have been three World Cups.
Which brings up another problem: We know the current build on the game is still running on parts of the old Crystal Tools engine. Fuck do we even know what happened to Luminous Engine?
Remember what happened when Duke Nukem Forever finally came out? It felt like it was about eight years behind the times technologically.

Also the whole Marvel phase 1 movies have been released since then.
We had 3 world cups since then.

In 2006 Platinum didn't exist because people still wanted to work for Capcom,

That's all nice and well until you realize Atlus essentially skipped HD gaming as well. Not far from what sn00zer displayed about SE in his post.
Japanese Publishers actually announced and released games on the big consoles in 2006.

Amazon bought twitch, OS specific video game machines have been made, Amazon bought a few gaming studios, Hideo Kojima working with Guillermo Del Toro on a new Silent Hill.etc

And to think, we could potentially experience three generations of Nintendo handhelds while waiting for the first hands-on preview.

I think there is a difference between announcing something early and something that so far took 8 years and counting for it to be done.
There have been two US presidential elections.
I spent two full years in Brazil.
I'm finishing Junior year of college.
Persona 4 came out twice.
Russia has invaded at least two countries.
The entire financial crisis and eurozone crisis went down.
PLUTO WAS STILL A PLANET.
Heroes' hadn't bombed yet.
Children born when FFXV was announced will be in first grade.

Someone the other day wanted to make a point about DQ Heroes never releasing because of the FFXV precedent. I just did a quick count on Wikipedia, Omega Force have released 30 games in that timeframe.

The entire current Marvel Cinematic universe was born 2 years after the announcement of FFVXIII/FFXV
Within this timeframe, Marvel has produced 11 movies

I met my Mrs and had 2 kids, both of which are now at school.
My youth died and FFXV has still not released.

Well yeah, because 2D platformers were a dead genre. Nobody except Nintendo handheld titles could possibly justify making a 2D game, unless maybe it was one of those free Japanese "independent" games.
Just like 2D fighting games. Those were dead too.

Until it comes out.
If its good then more or less things will be forgiven.
If its bad... It gets all the gate because how major the FF franchise is. But considering all the screw ups lately, if this ones bad, I think for a lot of people it'll fall into the realm of not really caring about the franchise as much anymore, which is a significantly worse state for SE.
