Sometimes we have to call it like we see and High Score Reviews has some things regarding Square-Enix that they need to get off their chest.

Oh that's simple enough to explain: they cray-cray. Have been since/before the Nova Crystallis announcements.

I feel like any impact this article would've had hinges on one quote. Nomura had no idea he was director. The problem with that is that the quote is being taken out of context, unintentionally i assume. He was told he was director months before we saw the teaser. because he saw the teaser months before we did

_-EDMIX-_3189d ago

Agreed. Mind you, FFVII was in development for 2 years now. They can find a director later on for a concept and a game that already exist.

Because its a remake, they have lots of material to work with, concept, art direction, story, characters etc.

RpgSama3189d ago

Square Enix right now is the best it has been in years, not since the ps2 generation have I looked forwards as many games by Square than now, I'm guessing a lot of it is a mix of really listening to consumers (sales), critics (reviews) and Yoichi Wada stepping down.

SegaGamer3189d ago

Yep, they seem to be returning to form. For us JRPG fans, this is amazing news.

SouljAx3603189d ago

I don't think there's anything wrong with remasters and remakes. Whether or not it's slowing down the production of FF15 I'm not sure. But FF15 has been in production for over 50 years, kind of tough to blame that kind of time frame on the recent remaster craze. I remember as a child in the early 90's, my father used to tell me "son, 30 some years ago Square Enix started working on FF 13 Versus, and that it may not come out today, may not come out tomorrow, but boy you better believe that it will come out in your lifetime." And now with the release of the demo, I have absolute faith that FF15 will be released sometime within the next 5 years.

I want to try whatever you're on.

MeteorPanda3189d ago

anyone else suspect that Tetsuya Nomura was pulling everyones leg with that quote?

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion9d ago (Edited 9d 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.

SonyStyled9d 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.

raWfodog141d ago

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

gold_drake141d ago

no no, 15 wasnt trash.

15 had a tremendous difficult development.

FinalFantasyFanatic140d ago

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

EternalTitan141d ago

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

Hofstaderman141d 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.

TheColbertinator141d 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

Inverno141d 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.

Dwarrior141d 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_drake141d ago

this is also why Sakaguchi (spelling) left.
