Final Fantasy 15: Why Development Hell Can be The Quietest

"In the history of game development, there probably hasn’t been a quieter and more contained cluster-frak of a project like Final Fantasy 15."

After FF13 I don't plan on buying another Final Fantasy until I've played it first. SquareEnix has lost their way with this franchise.

Rob_Ko3575d ago (Edited 3575d ago )

FFXIV is actually really good mmorpg, much better than WoW curently.

but yeah single player FF sucks since FFXII.
My hopes for FFXV are pretty high though

maximus19853575d ago

thats how i feel too. i refuse to buy kingdom hearts 2.5 or ff7 gbike or agito or whatever other bs they want to sell us until they deliver ff15 or cancel its development already

Agent20093575d ago (Edited 3575d ago )

You're so badass, maximus. I bet Square Enix are so broken because they've lost a client such as you.

zeroskie3575d ago

@agent2009

He's not the only one. I'm not angry at square or anything, but I have lost faith in the FF series recently. I know a lot of people that liked the XIII series but it just wasn't the direction that I wanted, and so I'll have to wait and see if they can deliver on their promises first.

sungin3575d ago (Edited 3575d ago )

release the dam ff9 to pc sqaure, you piece s^%it

EXVirtual3575d ago

I find it funny that people like you would rather have SE make a port of a game over a decade old to a platform that really doesn't sell JRPGS rather than work on new projects and then calls them and the industry in general crap.

Inception3574d ago

Buy it on PSN, it's only $9

Delsin223566d ago

dude just get the rom for it.

EXVirtual3575d ago

I don't think people realise that this game really didn't start development until 2009-2010. And that's the PS3 version I'm talking about. In mid-late 2011, the game was renamed XV and development started for the PS4 and XBO. So really, this game has only been in development for 3 years. I'm not excusing the lack of info, but the game isn't really in development hell.

One thing is for sure though. TGS better bring substantial info on the game.

maximus19853575d ago (Edited 3575d ago )

in 2015 youll change those numbers....you guys always do. in fact i can see it already " hey guys so what if they didnt show us ff15 in e32015 it really only started full development in early 2012 so really its like they need a little extra time for polish.

EXVirtual3575d ago

Again, I'm not excusing the lack of info.
If it isn't at E3 2015 (unless it releases before or a few dayso after E3), you won't hear me say anything. In fact, I will start recognising that the game really is in development hell, if TGS doesn't bring substantial info.

Elda3575d ago (Edited 3575d ago )

@EXV..100% agreed!...I don't understand why you have the disagrees but S-E basically did a cgi trailer for FFvsXIII but never really started developing until years later,scraped that & started developing in late 2011 on better hardware/engine which will be ported to PS4/XBO,this is why it's taking so long,S-E & other developers should not start advertising new games until they are at least 75% complete & 100% sure they are going to release these games asap.

SkullBlade1693575d ago

I was thinking that this game is becoming the new Duke Nukem Forever...

thejigisup3575d ago

FFXV: Forever is the working title.

maximus19853575d ago

year 2020: square enix announces to start development for ff15 on ps5 but meanwhile presents ff7 surfing mobile

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled2d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?

Final Fantasy XV Review – A Royal Road Trip

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 director reveals why he left Square Enix, and announces he's working on 2 new JRPGs

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.

FF15 is like FF13 its subjective people either like it or hate it.

raWfodog134d ago

I liked it. I haven’t played the royale edition yet but I’ll get around to it one day.

gold_drake134d ago

no no, 15 wasnt trash.

15 had a tremendous difficult development.

FinalFantasyFanatic133d ago

I really believe 13 was better put together and more complete than 15 ever was.

EternalTitan134d ago

Found the pathetic troll.
How is your jobless life going?
Dot worry, you will never get a job or a girlfriend haha!

Hofstaderman135d ago

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.

TheColbertinator134d ago

I didn't care much for XV and I always wanted the original vision of Versus XIII but I think the dev team did what they could to salvage the project

Inverno134d ago

And yet people still blame him for the game turning out the way it did, rather than SE for the horrible mismanagement of 13 and Namura for being overly ambitious.

Dwarrior134d ago

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.

gold_drake134d ago

this is also why Sakaguchi (spelling) left.
