Tabata resigns from Square-Enix. FFXV DLCs canceled (Episode Ardyn still coming) (READ OP)
- Thread starter DSP
- Start date
What the hell?!
"As Luminous Productions works on new projects, I felt that it was time for me to hand over the torch"
The hell Tabta? If he chose to leave in order to start his own thing how does one leave that quickly when Luminous Production started like barely a year ago with him literally running the company?
Yeah. I don't see how this happens this soon after they just opened a whole subsidiary for the guy.

I wonder if this means anything for the company as a whole.
I've largely brushed off worries about the VII remake as people being pessimistic but know even I'm loosing confidence.

Very successful, it brought the series back in a big way. They were doing great. This is just, weird.
I'm guessing they're talking about FFXVI or something. They probably canceled it to concentrate on the next major FF numbered title.
Honestly while a lot can be blamed on SE, I think this is firmly on Tabata's shoulders. Doesn't sound like SE had anything to do with it.
His final message by the way:
They threw his ass out. 100 percent.
User Warned: Inflammatory driveby.
Good riddance. This game needs to be forgotten and I'm happy tabata won't be able to attach his garbage to the FF brand name again.
While i agree with this, its mean to say....tabata deserves credit for getting the project out, even if it was a shitshow result IMO. Atleast now we can let that shambling zombie of a game die
It sold. And it sold a lot. lol. Nothing got damaged by this game it was successful for all it's issues and there are plenty of people that do enjoy the game. It didn't damage the IP. People will turn out for an FF16 if they ever make it.
His final message by the way:
SE owns the IP he was planning
So we really dont know if that's canceled or not. It was going to be really cool so hopefully Luminous is sticking to it
The game sold and reviewed well get over it already.
You act like it reviewed in the freaking 50's, it's got a meta score of 81.
Seriously, who the hell is playing comrades? Havent played a single game that wasn't always populated by CPU teammates.
That seems to be part of the problem. S-E needs a good chunk of players to purchase the DLCs as they come out. If everyone is just waiting, then all they see is a lack of interest and this is the end result.
This game should have never gotten so much DLC to begin with .
They should have move on after the first set .

What in the fuck!? I was looking forward to the Arenea episode, too!! This is awful!
I'm adding this to the OPHis final message by the way:
That's unfortunate. I do already have all the first season pass dlc though, but I was gonna wait until all the new stuff was out before playing.
"Everything is cancelled but here is a Multiplayer asset flip version with a season pass and DLC. Peace."
This is peak Square Enix indeed, as some already said. God damn, this doesn't make a lick of sense, especially the part about cancelling the future DLC's.
FF's reputation hasn't been worth anything since 12. FF12 launched in 2006. I don't think 15 did anything to the brand that didn't already exist.
What Windows version? The game's out on PC already. Or are they talking about the fact that they aren't supporting it anymore?
It's, uhh, pretty hard to speculate who is to blame for Tabata leaving when we've had zero reports about Tabata's game.
Like, it obviously went badly, but we don't know why and who is to blame.

Basically. FFXV is a financial success even though the game is messy. Maybe something happened at Luminous Studio.
THey put it on hold cause Nomura was busy with KH3. Seems pretty clear cut to me although they probably should not have announced it in 2015. This is the sort of thing Guerilla was doing in private for 4 or 5 years for Horizon, except in typical SE fashion they announced the project when they were not ready to start full development thus screwing the fanbase over and over again.
