The Bulletchef of LaGrange R&D
"Acid Rain, Or Adam Ena Must DIE!!" is a story following eponymous Emperor Adam Ena and his growing influence on Vapour.
@kevinofsolmira All the complaints people had about XV were reasons to praise this game. I'll never forgive that. This game was like an MMO that shut down. Like Clive shouldn't be the only one running around fighting these monsters. Fake cities, fake crafting, fake level up system. XVI was ass.
@_FFVersusXIII@XVRJSli It was based on the early version of the plot. The Duscae region was freshly added and the story was not altered to accommodate this. Titan may have been in Pagla earlier on, too.
@robbiedaymond hi, Mr. Daymond. I hope you're doing well. I'm creating a documentary about FINAL FANTASY XV and was curious if you'd be down for a brief interview, be it video or just a few DMs.
Thanks again for your time, have a great day. π #ffxv
@Nsept0403 My brother from across the world. Pagla Station contains many mysteries, does it not? Most interestingly, there seems to be remnants of buildings atop the cliffside and indicators of roads leading towards Tenebrae. Isn't that interesting?
@florencemachine this is a long shot but I'm doing a documentary on the development of the video game, FINAL FANTASY XV, for the 10th Anniversary and was hoping to ask a few questions about your involvement.
Thanks again, and looking forward to more from you guys. π Take care!
@_bazztek@AmesGerrard@XVRJSli That's not even 0.5% of the full story. There's a whole lot more going on under the hood of current FFXV than people realize and it's far closer to Nomura's plans than people realize, despite lacking his personal touch.
@_bazztek@AmesGerrard@XVRJSli Hidden in the game data is lots of mission flags, unused dialogue and event toggles that show they did come close to fully realizing this trailer in game, but the PS4 and target settings likely couldn't handle it leading to the world map and chapter being scaled back.
@AmesGerrard@XVRJSli I'm trying. There's some data for it but I lack the ability to do a few things. There's tons of data showing they tried to do this.
@XVRJSli This is very much a tech demo. The only true gameplay was the citadel footage which was Tabata's team. He and Nomura made the trailer together as a target render. Still, FFXV crew did try to realize this in the game.
Nothing you see in the Altissia bit was ever real gameplay.
@moricoda @noctwong They had to launch in 2016 and were contractually obligated to hit the window. Tabata was put in charge specifically to guarantee the game met the deadline. The previous director didn't control the scope and led to the tight schedule we had now. DotF is based on scrapped content.
@noctwong Based on my findings, EP Luna's journey from Gralea to Insomnia is based on a massive plan for Chapter 14 called "The Last Journey" where Noctis walked from Gralea to Hammerhead. When they split the world map, this got cut and was to be salvaged for EP Luna and Comrades.
@noavsnow3 @Hanan_F87 Nomura Lucis map is very different from XV Lucis map, they even seemingly built a version of the map based on Nomura version before the one we got today. Even stuff like Titan seemed to be intended for "Niflheim". Duscae wasn't even made until later on.
@noavsnow3 Yes, and how the world map development occurred. Chapter 10-15 got obliterated, and chapter 10+11 may have been open world chapters. Chapter 13 was likely repurposed into Platinum Demo, and chapter 15 morphed into Episode Noctis general concept. Lots to cover.
@noavsnow3 @Hanan_F87 2/2 Kingsglaive was worked on by a separate team and mostly done by Sony's own studios and did not hamper the development. The choice to make Kingsglaive actually is why we got any open world at all; including the invasion would have led to linear episodic game like XIII.
@noavsnow3 @Hanan_F87 1/2 Very much misrepresenting the work load they had. Majority of development was done on Lucis, but all the while Leviathan was causing delays. By the time they got to the Terraverde area, they had no time to build it like Lucis. OG Chapter 13, 15, the World of Ruin, same story.
