It happens off-screen in the game now. Noctis and friends find out about it through a newspaper.
Well, you do realize a lot of the game was changed because it was Tabata working it and not Nomura right? Due to them making it a numbered entree, it could no longer have a KH battle system, they changed a lot of the locations, and the cast no longer fit in the game that changed around them, especially when Tabata changed the entire story in order to make it a single game, complete with cutting out that huge ass battle with the gang right in the middle of it.
We can't compare Nomura's version of the game with Tabata's because he is no longer there. All we know is that 2013 trailer was supposed to be the game he wanted to make, but it was already being altered behind the scene by Tabata, presumably knowing that he would be the one fully directing the title at some point.
Yes.
The 2013 trailer was made by Nomura. It was still his original Versus ideas. Tabata didn't take over until later that year.
I know, that's why i said it was the game he wanted to make, but presumably Tabata was already doing stuff development wise according to the leaker in the OP, in order to turn it away from that vision in the trailer, even when they were showing that at E3.
I don't know how that was done, did he already think about changing Stella or taking her out? Did he even think that huge ass battle in the trailer was even going to exist later when it was being showed? I dunno....this whole thing is just crazy. Several of the characters shown in that trailer don't even exist at this point, and most of the battle scenes shown in it don't either.
I said this before, but they could not have chosen a more anticlimactic way of telling the player about Kingsglaive's events.
I'd have even settled for a CGI cutscene of the events.
Well, there's Kingsglaive.

basically to me , delaying the game also is another form of marketing , it makes the fans wanting more and the public eager to know whats FFXV
if only SE management can give approval for this gamescom demo to be download to those who preordered and paid in full to be release on sept 30th , maybe oct 30th for worldwide just to tide the fans over.

Baffling decisions all around, really. Sign me up for that $300 Book/Blu-ray documentary.
Someone else in one of the other threads said the leaker was wrong about that stuff.
Re: Stella. Nomura talked about her in two separate E3 2013 interviews. He had no intention of taking her out. Specifically he commented on how they tweaked her design and how it took them forever to find the perfect VA (who is no longer being used for the game BTW).
Imagine they release FFVII Remake and is starts outside Midgar after the events from the start of the game happen.
Whatever, it's just disappointing to hear, I honestly didn't know about it. I thought Kingsglaive was about Noctis's dad ascension to the throne before Noctis was born or something.
No, it's the last remnants of what made Versus XIII appealing destilled into a heavily re-written party scene decorated with an ultimately inconsequential story according to some reviewers. It is, however, very pretty to look at.
Took me a few hours to get through everything and I'm still just honestly baffled at confused at all of those leaks. Is it possible that all of those people just saw some of the early build and then rode the credibility to make up the rest? None of them are waterproof and then where does that leave use regarding XV's plot progression?
I'm so confused.
I'm so confused.
FFXV's plot will likely be an amalgamation of the various leaks. They're all on-point with minute exceptions, it seems.
I actually kinda had a feeling it'd be like this... weird. (Not saying that to try to sound prophetic or anything. XD That's how multiple leaks go sometimes.)
They're on point regarding the preview we've got publicly and then stray places after that which is why I don't believe any single one of them. None of them go into the huge guys on the game's cover for example and that seems like it'd be a bit important.
Ohhh, that it? Wow, that's kinda lame and weird, oh well maybe it makes sense in the finished thing.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Kagari, you're ruining my hope!
I'm looking forward to see KotR in action, though.
I don't know if they're in the game though.
It's weird because they put them on the cover of the game like it's important but you can only see three of them (like in the Dawn trailer) - and I know there's a wider cut of the artwork with more but that doesn't have it make any more sense.
If they are, it'd tie into the number of the weapons Noctis is collecting though.

Let's not try open world again.
Yeah I imagine that could be it.
I told this to BioWare-sama, too, but baka EA argued against my sterling wisdom.

I seen one interview of him talking about her post E3 2013, but I never heard a thing about the "perfect voice actress" bit. I was on top of everything he said every year.
I still think Lunas model is his doing though looks near identical to the E3 2013 render and that if Stella was still in the game that's what she would look like.
From the Afrojack trailer:

I think Tabata himself doesn't give a fuck about spoilers lol.

Open World and it's mind share is literally the worst thing to happen to JRPGS.

You know, older looking Noctis could be due to that he has been wearing the ring a for a while? (not that 10 yr coma theory/leak) Didn't the devs mention the reason Regis looked so ratty and old was because the ring or crystal or something was strenuous and made them age faster?

Yes but Prompto
Had a goatee in that opening so we know it must have been some time.
How do you explain Gladio's stache and Prompto's goatee? All four look different.
Let's not go too crazy. We don't know what that old version would have looked like in the end, it could have been way worse than what we're getting here.
But the point is, i wanted to see that result far more than i do this, even being cautiously optimistic.
Atleast he's folding a lot of those elements into FF7R. I want to see that more than i wanted to see Versus, or atleast on par.
Nomura didn't touch Stella's design, it was Tabata's redesign into Luna why she looks like she does.

You sure about that? Her model in the face is based off the 2013 render.

you mean like a detailed explaination ala those Ultimania books that detail almost everything about a game?
Nomura has nothing to do with Luna.

I'm going to assume that's Ifrit. I really like his design here. Feels reminiscent of the classic Amano Ifrit, with a slight Greek god asthethic. Complete with that nonchalant lounging on a throne attitude. I love it.
Very cool bombastic intro, although is that all, or was it just an edited condensed version of chapter 0?

I honestly don't know, because the full game isn't out and we don't know what is true and what is fake. I am not gonna rule out the leak info completely, but what if the ring/crystal not only affected Noctis but also the entire party cause they 'share' the power?
(I am only theorizing this on info that I read a while back that the ring allows the rest of the party to use its power or something along those lines, I don't remember it word for word)
If facial hair is all they get in 10 years, I don't buy it. Guys can grow facial hair in their 20's. Also Noctis looks the most grizzled out of all of them, maybe it's aging him the fastest cause he takes the brunt of the strain.

EDIT: kingsglaive spoiler*********
Also random thought, I got to see Kingsglaive last night and Regis mentioned he could no longer fight the war cause he and everyone in his court (specifically referencing his sword summoners) or whatever was 'old' soooo maybe that can also tie into the ring/crystal doesn't just affect the king but everyone involved in some way. Or they are just old

Not the character or the role of course, I just meant Lunas design looks really similar to the 2013 render of Stella.
Never got any FF Ultimania books, but if those go in-depth into the development I'm all for it

Luna has nothing to do with Stella. If they used the model of Stella, altered it and then changed her clothes, that was Tabata's direction, not Nomura.
It would have been worse if Tabata kept her name stella and tried to sell people on it being the same character, but i'm assuming tabata thought they had to keep some continuity between the projects to keep consumer confidence, and thus reused the model Stella already had.

Thank you for explaining what I had explained.
You were saying Nomura had something to do with it, i was just saying that is not the case as Kagari stated.
