Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
I knew FF Versus XIII was still alive. You can bet its going to be at TGS 2012 or SE own event this September. ;)
I absolutely hated FF13 and don't even know what versus is about but with all that said *gasp* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
i hate hearing these rumors i think its time for square hurry up and get the game released asap ?
Versus cancelled? That's odd, I could've sworn this year that it went into full production. And the part where they're not gonna announce that it's cancelled? Yeah I definitely call BS, a big company like square would definitely say if an anticipated title like Versus is cancelled if only to get people who were waiting for it to move on and look forward to their next big game.
I have a feeling this rumor was created to attempt to force Square into talking about the game or showing something new. That's all.
