I strongly doubt XV is a total no-show. As I said earlier, FFXV was said to skip TGS 2013. It was still exhibited with few extra seconds of footages. Not a lot obviously, but it was there.

Willing to bet the only thing done in this game is the visual works cutscenes, so that's probably all they can viably show. And since this game is supposed to have considerably less CG, they can't really afford to show it all in trailers.
If I had to guess, they're probably struggling with gameplay in an open world environment. Working on a game and the engine it's using at the same time is probably not working very well for them. They probably don't have good x11 gameplay yet and don't want to show the obviously ps3-quality assets again since they're shooting for higher quality graphics then what we saw last year. The wait would be much better if they'd at least tell us where they're at development wise.
It all comes down to the inability for many Japanese developers still not able to adjust to HD development. If only this was exclusive sony could send in some western help, like Cerny or something.

A few extra seconds. Is this what we've come to?

Like I said earlier in the thread I don't why SE doesn't outsource different parts of the game to different teams like Ubisoft does. Now obviously Ubi is much larger than SE but between Square's internal teams and its Eidos branch I'm" sure they could work out something to push the game out.
Well damn, I never saw this. If they announce Agito + Type-0, I'm totally fine with this. They said XV will be shown this year.

My point was that it probably wouldn't be a complete no-show unlike what we're led to. We'll see...

I just spit out my soda lol...the sad part is that it could be true... lol/cry.
why the hell did they do last year's huge presentation ?
They made Nomura,who hardly enjoys public appearances, fly to LA and do tons of interviews, took like 6-7 minutes out of sony's conference and even flew to paris to replay the trailers.
Why do all this then follow up with sickening silence for two years ?
Baffling decisions.

We got a few extra seconds of footage last month, I wouldn't be surprised if they just showed that again.
Detox will just be 45 minutes of Dre laughing, champagne corks popping and the sound of rustling dollar bills.

Ah, thank you. Small hope, but SE might redeem themselves for me if true.

Actually I'm pretty sure this'll have the most amount of CGI cinematics in FF history. All non-playable cutscenes are in CGI, and back when the game was Versus XIII it was confirmed that around 30% of cutscenes are made by Visual Works (I know he said the ratio was 7:3 but pretty sure he meant 30%).

I dunno, was he physically there for E3? All I remember is the video of him apologising for keeping people in the dark for so long before the FFXV trailer properly came up.
They pulled off a show last year for a simple reason. Next-gen time. Everyone else was showing off their goods and their visions for the upcoming gen. If everyone else was bringing along new supercars to the party, you wouldn't want to be the one stuck with the used Volvo.
My guess is that they wanted to help flesh out the next-gen userbase by the time the game releases.

If I remember correctly, it was said Nomura wanted all non-playable cutscenes to be CGI, but that this wasn't possible.

Who knows whether they're already doing that or not. XIV ARR was made with lots of outsourcing. So were XIII-2 and X & X-2 HD. LR was probably also although Toriyama said there was less outsourcing for the game as compared to XIII-2. Toriyama also said that it was something the company is considering when it comes to making games.
I'm not too fond of the idea though, seeing how SE has problems managing what they already have. Will they be competent to do outsourcing like Ubisoft and coordinate things across the globe? Even Ubisoft employees have problems with visually how everything will come together because they do not always know what other teams are doing.
They kept changing their minds though. One year it was "More real time because we can make them look so good now" and then next was "Nah less real time and now the Stella meets Noctis scene at the party is CGI!" and then they changed their statement again.

Replaying the same trailer as the last one with a shot or two of new footage is a waste of time. Conferences only run for so long, and I don't want them using up time on replays.
This gen? This shit was announced before ps3 was next gen!

"Hey Sony would you like to replay our old trailer with 5 seconds of new footage that were actually done last year, for last year's E3 trailer, but was never shown before? Again?"

"and please be excited?"
One in-game picture of Stella and everything will be forgiven!
Lol I laughed at this.
That interview is old, things probably changed since then (referring to the raio).

Since we now have the audio of Hashimoto's Comic-com interview and a good translation, it really does seem like he's hinting it will be at TGS (in an attempt to soften the blow of hinting it's e3 absence.) Then again, this company is a bit a joke so I'm not holding my breath.
Lol, if he wasn't wasting so much time flying around they could have done more work on the game and had something to show this E3!

Thanks to FFPlanet: Are media fire links okay? If not, I apologize.

Q: Information on FF15 and KH3?
Hashimoto: Still secret, just wait a little longer, for a surprise. There are a lot of events this year after E3 2014 in June. Besides E3, there is San Diego Comic Con, Gamescom, TGS, etc. We want to do a lot of announcements. Youll want to come to Tokyo!
To me it sounds like he was trying to avoid the E3 topic by talking about all the events it could show up at instead. But who knows. The thing about tokyo is a literal translation so thats got me thinking it actually good be at TGS.
The better question is: which will be released first, ff15 or a ff7 remake. Keep in mind we've seen as much from the ff7 remake that isn't in development as we've seen from ff15 which has been in the oven for 8 years.
FFXV of course.
And all we have about FFVII Remake is that PS3 Tech Demo opening, don't we?

Final Fantasy 15 to Include In-Game Cellphone, Release Dependent on PS4/Xbox One Sales Rumour
Not sure if this is new thread worthy or not so i'll just post it here.

All of that is old news. And the stuff about the sales is made up. It's an unofficial account.

The official FF XV account is not official, just some fan-made one.
SquareEnix act like they're scared to make a FF7 remake. Don't ask me why?

when its not at TGS, it will be at an event later this year as said by SE. Then we have not heard about the game for 15-18 month.. it doesn't matter, nobody cares about that when the game is released.
Yeah I wonder why so many people use the word official when it's not and I also wonder why people write those kind of random articles.
I guess because it's a huge game and it has to be perfect.
