I mentioned before that Square needs a story doctor, though I'm willing to bet they need a GOOD director, at least someone like Sakaguchi. Since Sakaguchi's departure, every FF game to be released since then(the period after FFXI in the mainline series) seems like incomplete installments. FFXIV was the only one I think got remedied by Yoshida taking the helm, but every before ARR, it was on par with the others and a LOT Of shit happened behind the scenes. FFXII, FFXIII, FFXIV(Vanilla) and FFXV all had HORRIBLE development cycles with a lot of shit going wrong. If that's how it is, regardless of it being something new, FFXVI will suffer a similar fate of mismanagement unless someone steps in and kicks some asses into gear. Kitase sure ain't gonna do it(he let the whole FFXIII thing happen).
And it's not even that good...

Considering FFX-3 is developing off a very cringe worthy audio drama and a novel that may as well be fanfiction, I'm very surprised there is demand for it. I love FFX and X-2 but what I read in the novel may as well get the game rated M. I would welcome an X-3 if it is different. It looks to me like it would just be FFX all over again with Farplane corpses joining the party like Braska, etc. What exactly would be different? How will they explain Chuami being Auron's daughter? Why does Chuami insult Lulu for her large breasts? The thing was a trainwreck but they have no choice to build off said trainwreck cause it destroyed the franchise for me kinda. I mean wow, they've invalidated everything we did in X and x-2.

If they finally make X-3 i hope its battle system will be more like X rather than X-2.

XVI..... why are we even talking about this? XV still needs the dlc and everything...... I wouldn't count on seeing XVI for a long arse time but hopefully not as long as XV took!
I legit wonder how much of the current state of FF development is Nomura's fault, especially since he started taking on a larger role in the late PS1/early PS2 era.

FFXII, XIII & XIV suffered from SQEX failing to adapt to more modern development practices (though certainly there were other missteps taken as well) which made their game development inefficient & hard to manage. FFXV was mostly a victim of the prolonged development & the aftermath of the release of XIII & XIV. A "Versus Saga" probably seemed like a good idea before the FF franchise had been dragged through the mud for almost a decade, less so after its full production was delayed until PS4 & X1 were almost upon us and after XIV 1.0 and Toriyama happened.I mentioned before that Square needs a story doctor, though I'm willing to bet they need a GOOD director, at least someone like Sakaguchi.

None or very little of it is Nomura's fault, that's silly to even theorize. While he has been more than "just" a character designer for the franchise for a long time, other people have still far outranked him and made the final decisions when it comes to the development & direction any particular FF would take. FFVsXIII was to be the first mainline level FF Nomura would actually direct & be fully responsible of, so blaming him for XIII & XIV is silly as hell.I legit wonder how much of the current state of FF development is Nomura's fault, especially since he started taking on a larger role in the late PS1/early PS2 era.
This narrative that Verendus was some sort of genius troll needs to stop. I don't know why people want to defend him when he's a proven liar. These kind of posts sound like family members trying to justify a relative's crimes.Seems much more likely that Verendus had some genuine knowledge but decided to troll hard with some provocative bullshit alongside the genuine stuff.
His FFXVI stuff always read like trolling tbh--hinting that it might be a mobile game because otherwise he didn't know how SE are making so many games. Seems perfectly calculated to provoke a reaction.

You read the novel?
Nomura is a popular scapegoat, but I would pin it on Kitase. He directed FFVI, VII, and Chrono Trigger, so he'll always have my respect for that. As a producer though, his projects are a mess and often seem to go way over budget and schedule.I legit wonder how much of the current state of FF development is Nomura's fault, especially since he started taking on a larger role in the late PS1/early PS2 era.
X-3? I don't even like admitting I sat thru X-2. The only thing good about that game was the battle system.
Nah, I want a FFXII-2. There'a just so much left to show and do in that world, enough to fill another full length game.Just give me a game set in the Ivalice world please, preferably Final Fantasy Tactics 2.
Yes please, Final Fantasy XVI should definitely switch it up like FFIX did because it was the best one.
The series needs a breath of fresh air.
And not boy band cologne-scented air.
My dream is to let Naoki Yoshida direct XVI and for it to be a new concept we've never seen before.

What would an X-3 even be about? X had a pretty wonderful ending and X-2 was a fun spin off but I don't know how they'd continue a story after that.
They were going to do one but it was cancelled. With Basch as the main character... He would have grown apart from Queen Ashe and faced some ancient Sea King Loemund... Common folks would refer to Basch as "Judge Gabranth" because they still don't know the truth about him... except for Judge Zargabaath, the one surviving Judge from XII. Balthier shows up at the most hopeless moment to save everyone Han Solo-style, bringing with him Vaan and the old cast... Queen Ashe and Emperor Larsa grew close... They had one hell of a story planned.

The worst part of Verendus being full of shit is no FF VI remake

So now that Verendus has been confirmed to be full of shit, I guess we can believe Hashimoto when he says development for XVI hasn't started yet...

"Confirmed". We tried this once and the result was FF7 Remake popped up six months later. WHY are we believing Hashimoto at all?
And these kinds of posts read like people want insiders to be wrong/full of shit SO badly. I treat every leak with skepticism, but I'd honestly like most/all of them to be true. Why wouldn't you?
I'll give you that he predicted some way out there shit, some of which might've been so far off it could just as easily be canceled as it could have never existed at all...but it seems like people here feel like the former makes you as big of a liar as the latter. And what I've never gotten is....why? It seems like people derive some sort of perverse satisfaction out of leakers getting caught or being proven wrong, or whatever, and the whole thing goes over my head.
I'm curious how many want X-3. I'm certainly good leaving as is, though if we got an actual cutscene of Tidus...blowing up
I'd love either Agni or something VERY similar to it.gives me hope XVI could be Agni.

i mean the mods (was it Falk?) even confirmed that he had some inside knowledge - however that didn't mean that everything he is saying was right like we saw with his FFXV impression.
Not sure however how people conclude out of that, that everything he said before is now full of shit.
i would take it with a grain of salt, the same as before
I think I'd rather have X-0, even if we already know what happens.
I mean knowing what happens isnt really a detriment if X-3 were to be based off of X-2.5 Will.
Yes, absolutely.X0

I'd finally like a full game under the X banner. Whew
Nothing will top 13trilogy in the shitty department. It's impossible.
