While I did really like FF15 in the end, it is tragic to know what it "could" have been.
Could have? You mean you miss seeing what could have been yet another area with nothing going on? So...I don't know how to tell many of you this, if you only liked FFXV, I don't see how simply having an other area was going to make it into this amazing thing suddenly.
I believe they cut it simply because they had nothing going on to make it worth even keeping the area. You go there at the end annnnnnd nothing going on.
Not to even mention what seems like hours of cutscenes and CG shown across the Versus XIII and early FFXV trailers that never made it into the game at all.
I see no evidence to even suggest that. Hours? You made the game? You wrote it? How the fuck do you to what degree what was left or not? "seems like" fanfiction. Thats it. You fucking want some webaboo fanfiction shit and simply are in love with something you never played and just made up in your mind THAT shit was the GOAT that was left behind. I have to call bullshit on this one bud, the perrson who even wrote the damn game made it clear outside of a character change, its faithful to what he wrote
Much of the game we knew as Final Fantasy Versus XIII is no more, now made evident today by director Hajime Tabata who shared new reasoning behind changes long suspected. By far the biggest change is the removal of Stella Nox Fleuret – who was set to be the main heroine opposite of Noctis. “We […]

So if the story sucked in FFXV, I have a hard ass time believing the real good shit was with 1 character and yet another empty area and a opening cut scene. That just sounds really hard to believe.
. the story felt disjointed and unfinished,
A story can be bad sir. It was just a shit story lol For all you know, if they add all that other shit, the story would be just as bad. All games release with a good amount of content left behind as all things can't just be crammed in the game and I've yet to see any game developer argue that 100% of what they wanted was done 1.1 exactly how it was planned day 1 or something, so a story can be bad regardless and I don't think that what was missing was some glorious thing, I think the design, story and characters in FFXV simply isn't that good, changing a fucking name, adding a cut scene and another area I don't really buy would have changed as much as some of you are clinging on to lol
You are just holding on to some fanfiction shit....
it was frustrating because you could feel a much bigger game waiting to happen and it never did ...
Or....the game was just bad. I think this notion that the content left behind was "legitz da good partz" is a nieve narrative that I saw going around for years that pretends that exact cut content was really going to drive the game home, sir....that would be like saying you didn't quite like AC Vallhalla after 200 hours, but shit...that cut content was really, really, no hear me out...REALLY where the game would open up.
If they couldn't pull that off with 100 hours in such a vast open world, I don't really buy that the real good stuff was what you didn't play or something, 1 character is not making that game GOTY, another empty area and a cut scene in the opening is not making it fix all those design issues with the game. Some games I can see where you are coming from, from this game.....its hard for me to believe that considering the writer had no issue with the story changes.
I'm at peace knowing that all that shit removed, just wasn't going to correct the 100 hours I played of FFXV, I don't really believe that. If that was just "ok" for a FF game, MORE OF IT wasn't going to just set me over the moon or something.
Again...look at Assassins Creed. Imagine someone telling you that they feel a much bigger game was just waiting to happen, think of any game you don't like and think of someone trying to convince you MORE of it was going to really get you to love it, as if 100 hours isn't it, but 200, thats where da good is lol FFXV isn't even a good story, its so bad its not even funny, I don't mean like we just need a solid ending, its bad thru out, 1 scene wasn't changing that. Maybe it really is just a bad game regardless of those changes and for all we know we avoided a even bigger train wreck.
