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.
are you serious? this is one of the features i was looking foward to the most. i hate when they scrap things like this because now when i play the game this is going to be in the back of my mind :/
I gotta admit, I'm pretty disappointed. One of my biggest problems with FFXIII was that it was Game Over when the main character died. I was really hoping that wouldn't be carried over to FFXV.
Bummer
Well we wouldn't want to confuse the stay at home moms and 3 year olds that are now being targeted with this game now would we !
Win/lose for me, after the first trailer I wanted scenarios where Nocis was fighting alone and stuff like that,
I didn't want the combat to be dependent on party based situations like KH did sometimes. Now that can be fulfilled, while I was looking forward to using the other characters its not a huge deal to me. I now like the sound of the new combat system as dodging wastes mana and 'hold attack'isn't as simple as it sounds, also theres a 'technique' button too didn't know that
One character is fine if he plays well and it seems 'as originally intended', noctis is very diverse combat wise. He uses everything all the party members do, although i'm a bit disappointed we won't get to use the third person shooter mechanics anymore. Hopefully they put that on Noctis too.
I tend to think Arpgs are better with 1 character you have to focus on too, also story wise Noctis is the important one.
@ abzine, supposedly the gambit system is back for them no?
