Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn't in full production yet, may not be complete by next gen

Kek what is wrong with Nomura? How can he be incapable of making big project games anymore?

>“We’re currently brushing up the scene from the announcement trailer. We can now see the line of quality that we’re aiming for more clearly, but there’s still a ways to go,”

Nigga hasn't started shit, my sides

Okay

Sqeenix, we need to have a talk, man to multi-million dollar company.

You need to stop announcing shit before it's ready to be announced.

You need to put a referendum on your compulsion to announce shit.

18 months. That's it.

Work on a game. When it looks like it will be done in roughly 18 months, THEN you can announce it. And even that is, I feel, very generous.

I'm sick and tired of waiting half a decade or more for your shit.
It's been almost 4 years since you announced Kingdom Hearts 3. That's inexcusable. Knock that shit off.

This has to be a joke. They're going for +10 years of development time again. Holy shit, dead developer...

Nomura is a hack.

>square enix
why am i not surprised

HAHAHAHAHAHA, so they announce a game and after two years they STILL DIDN'T DO SHIT HAHAHAHAHA, THIS IS THE SQUARE OF TODAY.

That's only because KH3 is their main focus right now. Right?
RIGHT?

What the fuck even goes on in the Final Fantasy studios over there?

Do they just spend all day fucking Japanese prostitutes and snorting blow and wasabi, while overpaying everyone with six figure salaries?

>Tetsuya Nomura

GEE I WONDER WHY IT'S GONNA TAKE A LONG TIME?

He's doing KH3
It's not surprising, what is surprising is that they announced it in 2015 and they still haven't done shit
KH3 was announced in 2013 and they only released the Ground Zeroes equivalent, KH0.2 was only released last month, 4 years later
Just by comparing to Kojima, another man that takes his sweet time making games, MGSV was announced in 2012 and then released in 2014 and 2015
Nomura is obviously being stretched way too thin, making KH3 and FF7R at the same time is probably too much, but holy shit, SE cannot just announce games as soon as the higher ups greenlight it
This is literally VsXIII all over again, the project was greenlit and SE just had this super cool project that it literally could not contain itself and just had to tell everyone
For fuck's sake, what are they in middle school?

Guys.

You need time to go photograph cool rocks and shit.

The only reason they do anything is to appease shareholders and keep the FF franchise relevant.

This just proves once again how Nomura is an autismal manchild that keeps coming up with more and more ideas but never gets any shit done.

Let him direct a game and it is guarantee to have a development time of 10 years plus.

>Nomura

Can someone tell me how the fuck this dipshit still has a job?

>Is assigned to develop FFXV
>manages to produce literally 3 CGI trailers and a small ass vertical slice in what, 6 years?
>Is assigned to develop KH3
>KH has apparently worlds that aren't even developed yet
>Is then assigned to co-develop FFVII remake which isn't in full production even though a year has gone by

HOW THE FUCK is he still employed? If i'd work like that my boss would tell me to fuck off.

The problem is keep pushing shit on him
Let the man do one thing at a time
What's the point of making a man do literally everything?
Don't forget during this time span he's been involved in a ton of stuff
From TWEWY, to Dissidia, to all the KH portable games,and FF Theatrhythm
No shit he can't finish the huge super budget games if SE keeps putting him on side projects

Is anyone even surprised at their antics any more?

I don't even care anymore. Fuck Final Fantasy.

I want DQ11 and Nier.

I don't understand how a developer like this is able to compete with so many other developers from Japan who announce a game and release it the year after.

You know what would appease shareholders and keep the franchise even more relevent?

Releasing a game more than once every ten goddamn years.

Or at the very least, holding the reigns on their announcement schedule, so when that once-a-decade Final Fantasy game DOES come out, it's an event we can all get hyped over.

As it is now, whenever I see a huge announcement from SE, my first instinct isn't excitement, it's dread and disappointment, because we all know we're not going to be touching the game ourselves for the next five years at minimum.

He only did the art for TWEWY

>it's an opening ceremony for the 30th anniversary
Even the fucking announcements are unfinished, episodic, and delayed
Goddamit

the console gaming community is seriously 99.99% fake hype hahahahah

You're not wrong.

But also, the biggest announcement they made about KH3 was that there would be no big announcements about KH3 for the entirety of 2017.

So the EARLIEST we're getting a release date is 2018.

Which means we're not getting the game until November 2019.

You're acting like that doesn't take time and doesn't go through an editing process.

Even if was a month of effort, that's still time taken away from other projects.

As long as it's not turn-based, it's a worthless "remake" anyway.

>squeenix in charge of remakes/ports
AH HA HA HAW

He was still involved
Nomura is SE's errand boy, they rely on him for everything
It feels like they're understaffed, Nomura was character designer for almost every game until they got Ferrari and now they're both involved in everything because apparently they only have 2 character designers

>People blaming Nomura
>Not blaming the retarded management that puts him on every project
>He's still trying to finish KH3
>People seriously think he has time to work on the remake too

Who cares? You faggots made FFXV a success against all odds and basically proven SE right: they can fuck around for ten years and then push out a mediocre unfinished product and people will lap it up anyway. Except for Japan. Japan is already too woke from their shit.

They still have Yoshitaka Amano, a fucking legend, but only use him for the logos, what a waste.

>a success
I wonder if the amount of sales they got is enough for 10 years after announcement. There are games that they release in much less time and sell almost as much, making them much more profitable.

Final Fantasy 15 was going to come out on PS3, but it came out for PS4.

Clearly, FFfags didn't learn their lesson and didn't wait for the PS5.

Sony wouldn't want it any other way though. For them this is great news.

What happened

Then it's not Nomura's fault is it?
SE is run by retards

>Nomura

When is he going to leave Square Enix?

>only one is really ever considered truly great
which is..?

WHO CARES, JUST BUY A PS5 FOR IT

YOU SHOULD BE THANKING SONY THAT THIS GAME WILL EVER EVEN EXIST

At this rate dissidia won't be on a console til next year, they'll already have to shit out a new MMO before ff7r comes out and by that time they'll already show a trailer for a new mainline FF game. God only knows about the horseshit they were planning with FFX goes into this either.

>Except for Japan. Japan is already too woke from their shit.

What the hell does this even mean?

The reason XV didn't do all that well in Japan is because the Japs are moving away from console to mobile.

Amano designs don't work with 3D models.

They also have Akihiko Yoshida, who's the designer for lots of games, like FF3, Tactics, FF14, FF12 and Bravely Default and others. He's my favourite of the FF artists bar Amano.

Developing a 2 GB prerendered psx or SNES game is not the same as a 20 GB PS4 game costing one hundred million dollars

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!!!

XII

And that's still up for debate to this day.

SE needs new blood. So much shitty management

Yeah thought so. XII is still not that good compared to past mainline FFs.

Yoshida already left Squeenix

>games made by the same people till 9
>mostly universally praised
>people start dropping like flies around 10's release
>it's been ever changing since.

Is the Zodiac Age just a graphical update or does it have extra content or any adjustments?

I only played the standard edition on PS2.

Wait, really? When?

Cant we just ddos square or attack them in some way im sick of their bullshit

It changes from license system to job system

Less chest bullshit

12 is a million times better than 10 or 8

hehehe

i've been reading a lot of my older issues of magazines and from about 1992 to 1995, Square was putting out so many games, even in the US and all of them were good at worst.

what happened? they have KH3, FF7 remake and.....? what else is making them waste time?
how do you have so many people on staff and you don't show results?

if i was a shareholder, i'd be pissed as fuck, but also sad because i only hold a tiny fraction of shares and can't force them to get their shit into gear.

it's the International Zodiak version which alters the license system and a few other tweaks.

2013, he returned to work on Bravely Second but just for that project.

It kills the license board and make it more like classic FF with every character having a definite class.

>Yoshitaka Amano
Overrated IMO. Too many beads and retarded faces. That one obscure motherfucker Shou Tajima is better than him but he barely did anything for SE because he never worked for them aside for one gig for an FFVII book cover. Hell, even Kojima from Castlevania is better than Amano.

>let's do something that will hurt SE
>this will make their game development faster
It doesn't work like that

It's funny because you see this shit, then at JP Fanfest for FFXIV they asked the crowd to put in applications because they need people. Where are all the Japanese game designers going now? I'm really curious because SE can't seem to get what they need over large periods of time.

if you only played the NA release, it has all the extra shit like jobs from the Jap release of IZJS

I hear it has some casual bullshit and quality of life improvements like faster movement in the overworld (sand ocean might not make you want to kill yourself anymore)

Apparently he freelances aswell? He was the lead character designer for Heavensward aswell as the new Nier game.

There's literally a turbo button in izjs

Press L1 for Benny Hill show

He's freelancing, so it's not impossible for him to do other games for SE.

What's up with all these jap games that take so ridiculously long to develop anything?
And why do they announce stuff when what they have at the moment is barely a tech demo?

>fucking Japanese prostitutes and snorting blow and wasabi

dude, from FF6 to FF7 was only about 2-3 years of development and getting the final product out. it was also fucking new tech at the time and they still managed to do it.

AND this was on top of lots of other games that Square was putting out too, both in english and JP.

>tech demo

If you read correctly not even that

I dunno
They pretty much implied they have other shit going on but they fortunately haven't announced them yet
It's just SE that does this
And I dunno why, it's probably to create hype, I mean that E3 2015 remake trailer was perfect

he's also the artist for Project Octopath Traveller which is through square again..so..seems like he gets work.

You're trying to compare a game where most of the art is prerendered to one with 1.21 jiggapolys.

Shit takes time to model and then animate.

Well that isnt my plan
They can go and shove this vaporwareshit in their asses

We all know ff7 and kh3 will never release so why dont just fuck with this incompetent company

What in the fuck are they doing

Good for him. I'm a massive fan of his art.
He's the undisputed king of drawin thighs.

At least that gives me enough time to play the original FF7 before Remake comes around.

The game could come out next week and you'd still have time

I hope you meant Replay, kid

...

Did you forget he's also working on KH3, another huge game? I'm surprised he's director for both, must be stressed as fuck.

FF7 has aged like milk trust me don't even try it.

Showing that trailer was a mistake. Just like showing the KH3 trailer was a mistake. SE never learns, they hype way too early.

you could play it a ton of times before that happens

2021 full release with all 3 parts on one BR disc because they COULD have fit it on, but they wanted to ship it piecemeal instead.

Man they must've been really pissed with the PS4 and how poorly FFXV ran on that.

What is "Graphics?"

...

Yeah that's why Persona 5 had record sales. I don't even give a shit about Persona.

Final Fantasy sucks now. Chad was right.

>Higher ups decide the shareholders are right, it's time for an FF7 remake
>tell no one but their cgi team
>"Fill it with a bunch of really cool anime shit"
>Show the world when it's done to the amazement of people even working for your company
>announce your bitch boy nomura is working on it as well, to even his amazement

>fast forward to today
>it's four guys
>nomura comes in once a month to see if they are still alive and make sure the rocks are looking good
>they have cloud half modeled and still arguing internally if they should just base it on the trailer

we should have had new areas shown by now
i mean, im sure as fuck they have multiple groups working on their own section of the game, right?

I'm not the only one expecting a 2020 release for Kingdom Hearts 3,right?

>Where are all the Japanese game designers going now?
Mobile.

It's Square, not only do you have time, you can complete the entire game 10 times to 100% completion and they still will only be in the production phase. And even then that's considered to fast for them.

>to the amazement of people even working for your company
>announce your bitch boy nomura is working on it as well, to even his amazement
I'm getting E3 GT flashbacks
>how do they keep this secret
Nobody in the company itself knew that's how

XII

XV sold more than Persona 5 did. I'm not sure what your point is. Japs are moving away from console.

>That new capeshit game (Marvel) is going to come out before KH3 and FF7R
Kek

> meanwhile still manage to finish a bunch of phone shit, handheld shit, manga shit, and Aqua's game while being tossed around by SE management

SE has had retards in charge since Wada ran everyone out of the company.

This shit has happened with every FF since 12

This isn't a problem with just one guy, the entire company is bonkers.

They should let Bethesda or CD project devellop FF16

Persona 5 sold more than its previous installment.
FFXV sold half of its previous installment.

You are an idiot who can't accept his shitty series is dying.

It's Versus XIII all over again.
