Yesterday, it was confirmed that FFXV would not be at TGS and I seen some pretty pissed fans. I wasn't happy, but these guys were blowing it out of proportion. 'Screw you SE!' and 'SE will die soon'. Well guys, I don't think it's much of a big deal.
Now for people saying that it isn't ready and in early development... WRONG. If it wasn't ready to be shown at TGS, they would not have shown a 6 min story trailer and a gameplay trailer, let alone looking as advanced as it did. The real reason FFXV is not gonna be appearing at TGS is because of the fact that SE needs to market LR the most. I think they know that if they show FFXV alongside LR all the time, FFXV will steal the show and then some. So SE's just being careful as to how the place FFXV and LR when it comes to showcasing.
Secondly, I don't care what you say, I don't want them to rush this game. That's not to say I don't want the game to come out soon, but you know what I mean. From all the hype that has been put around this game even in it's previous form FFV13, do you really want them to disappoint? I'm gonna shoot and say that FFXV is most likely gonna be seeing a late December 2014 or even Jan/Feb 2015. Now for people who might be asking: What about Kingdom Hearts III? Won't that just take longer? Again, you don't want them to be rushing that game. As for when it'll release, I'm gonna say late 2015/ Q1 of 2016. Seriously. I have the utmost faith in Square Enix. I really do. As soon as FFXIV and LR are out of the way, we'll be getting more and more info on FFXV and KH3. Trust me.
To be honest, KH3 is not a game that was needed till about a year ago when DDD came out. The people that shrugged off anything apart from KH3 and called games like Re: Coded, BBS 358/2 Days and DDD are gonna be lost big time. BIG TIME. So I kinda think that the KH3 announcement was a bit over rated. Don't get me wrong. It's gonna be a blockbuster when it comes out. It's gonna be one of my favorite games of the gen, but there's no need to get so angry at SE for not showing it at every single event. Plus, next month, it'll be at the D23 Expo with a big presence and it might even be at jump festa. Don't forget about the fact that SE might have a press conference in January, maybe even without mentioning LR, since it'll be out barely after then. Aside from that, you should check out the 'spinoffs' if you haven't already. I know they're on different platforms, but at least look at a walkthrough. We're also most likely getting a KH2.5 announcement at TGS, which will include KH2 KH BBS and Re: coded for 2014. So no worries.
If anyone is to blame for how poorly SE performed in the 7th gen, it's Yoichi Wada. He screwed up FFXIV and he approved of both FF13-2 and LR. The new CEO, seems like a pretty smart person. Less than 2 months when he becomes CEO, we get a KH3 and FFXV announcement in the space of 15 minutes.
Again, I have the utmost faith in SE for both FFXV and KH3, to the point that I wouldn't mind if SE made FFXV-7. Lol. After FFXVI and XVII though.
Hell, we're most likely gonna get some new footage of FFXV in the PS4 interview that Nomura will be talking about the game in.
Thanks for reading and this blogs recommended music is below. Tell me what you think about it.
Review - WRATH: Aeon of Ruin does more than challenge your shooting reflexes - fast, furious, flipping hard, and all the better for it

It was announced today that Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, will be shut down, which casts doubt on the future of the game.
I’m sure the support and franchise will live on due to its success. They may even keep some ppl and roll them into other studios. There are layoffs across the map tho in the game/tech industries in general tho including Sony, Facebook and more. My personal family has been affected by them.
No excuses for MS. I guess Hi Fi didn't do as well as we all thought. So Much the for fun Little experiences that MS has been wanting games of all sizes. The thing is MS are so predictable this year they say "oh we want to prioritize bigger games." Next year they'll have more shut downs and say oh well these ballooning budgets of AAA blah, blah, blah. Even though a year prior they said they want more bigger games. When are gonna admit MS can't do or won't do gaming right? It's always waiting for this and that. String you along while destroying ppls jobs. Year in and year out.
Yet MS made a company-wide profit of $22 billion.
In my eyes releasing this on gamepass was a double edged sword approach, received extremely well, but didn't hit w.e batshit insane sales target MS had In mind
have all the people saying m$ buying all those companies, been proved correct yet,
they said more games, more choice, but ended up
less choice, less games, in reality... we were right
I know FFXV will be a great game not because I have faith in Square, because I don't, but because I have faith in Nomura because he's the only relevant person on that company right now.
The more I see of FF XV the more I really like it.
No matter what that game is going to be huge and a great seller. FF is the only RPG that has cross-mass appeal.
Looking forward to it for the Xbox One along with KH III.
Hmm, I feel I should inform you the 'story' trailer, was a target render. I didn't know at first and wondered why the gameplay trailer had different effects than the other one. But there it is. Sucks.
How much time do they need? The game was only announced in 2006.
People like this guy are the very definition of "die-hard" fans. Squenix under-delivered the entire PS3/360 generation, but this guy still has "the utmost faith in Square Enix"(his words, paragraph 3). It's "hard" for his faith in SE to "die". Even though SE is forcing yet another sequel to FF13 a game that under-performed expectations, and that we know was deliberately downgraded. Yet he still has the utmost faith.
Well my faith in SE has been downgraded to "hope."
I'm a firm believer that the more time you give a game the better it will turn out. Obviously not always true, but it will be good imo.
