Good things come to those who wait. At least, that’s usually what our minds let us expect when something we look forward to something that remains in development for a small eternity. Having evolved from Final Fantasy Versus XIII into the 15th (well, technically anyway) installment of the franchise, it has always been pretty apparent …

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'm going to have to play with Japanese audio to mask the absolutely atrocious voice acting.
I probably was going to do that anyway, but the VA sounds as though they were all recorded in separate rooms with no flow or real feeling of a connection, which is odd for such a theme of "brotherhood".
And regarding the visual downgrade and performance, I'm disappointed because Episode Duscae didn't look as bad as the previews show. I'm going to have to go ahead and hope that a PS4 Neo patch is in development for this.
Hm. Well, I've read two articles now that were based off gameplay they had the luck of experiencing, prior to the game's announced delay.
If, there are some hiccups, something tells me that they will remedy the situation. The game has a lot riding on its shoulders. Now, if voice acting/dialogue is an issue, that's a tad trickier to fix. I'm going to play with eng voice's since as much as I love reading, it makes me lose sight of the visual aesthetics being presented. If I find myself cringing, I'll switch over.
I can handle a hybrid experience, especially since it's rare to be given the opportunity to experience it. Anyways, November will tell who loves, hates, enjoys, appreciates, or accepts the newest instalment of Final Fantasy. (and let's ignore those who hype, and those who bash).
I've waited long enough to know that unless the story is utter nonsense, I'll nod my head in appreciation.
This is the only hands on preview I have seen recently that has said negative things about FFXV. Not worried at all. The game looks incredible.
You have to admire Square Enix's diligence with their games. They never gave up on FFXIV and it's the same with FFXV.
I expect FFXV to be the next Final Fantasy game that receives scores below 7 from more than a few reviewers.
