With Final Fantasy 15 finally out, fans shift desires toward Kingdom Hearts 3

Square Enix finally released Final Fantasy 15 today, which means role-playing game fans can check off one of their most elusive and anticipated titles from the list. With that game finally out into the world after 10 very, very long years, there are a handful of other titles that players are keeping their fingers crossed for — and none have players more anxious than Kingdom Hearts 3.

Prompto you cheeky fourth wall breaking bastard.

Anywho I don't get people who say they've been waiting 10 years for KH3. The story in KH2 was pretty much wrapped up and left little leeway for a sequel unlike its predecessor KH1. Not to mention that the teaser at the end of the game was for BBS and not KH3.

Besides people should be grateful that we got any installments in this franchise after KH2. The team that worked on both mainline games went to work on FFvXIII(now FFXV) for an entire and stated they wouldn't start work on KH3 until after their major project was finished. That meant the KH series would've gone dormant for 10 years if we didn't get the handheld titles to further expand the lore in the meanwhile.

I'm not so sure Nomura's team was completely whole during development of FFvXIII. A fully funded, fully empowered team could have knocked FFvXIII out in 3-4 years. What I suspect is SquareEnix constantly cannibalized Nomura's team to work on FFXIII sequels and other projects. Development was delayed again and again, until SquareEnix saw how popular open world games were getting, removed Nomura, and Frankenstein'd FFXV out of the bits. My theory anyway. The team for KH3 was brought together no less than 3 years ago, mostly likely when Square officially pulled the rug out from Nomura and his team on FFvXIII.

In fact fans have been waiting for a FFVII remake way longer than KH3 ever since Square Enix showed off that concept demo in 2005 lmao

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion7d ago (Edited 7d 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.

SonyStyled7d 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.

raWfodog139d ago

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

gold_drake139d ago

no no, 15 wasnt trash.

15 had a tremendous difficult development.

FinalFantasyFanatic138d ago

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

EternalTitan139d ago

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

Hofstaderman140d 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.

TheColbertinator139d 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

Inverno139d 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.

Dwarrior139d 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_drake139d ago

this is also why Sakaguchi (spelling) left.
