Nomura officially lost it (KH3 Remind Final Secret Boss Open Spoilers)
- Thread starter Dust
- Start date
Imagine this bossfight was part of the video game.
Rex is completely destroying Sora lmao.
Nomura's game was cancelled and they used the characters and world to make XV, but Nomura is still determined to make it happen, so he's just retconning it into Kingdom Hearts with a new character that looks like Noctis and has basically the same name but in japanese.
It's both exciting and cringeworthy.
Is there a reason he wouldn't be able to make Versus 13 with FFXV assets? They already look really really good. If it isn't cross gen then max settings plus some ray tracing could have it looking next gen IMO.
I think that car scene is just Noctis going to the party where he met Stella. But everything about that was scrapped so it makes no sense to keep that scene.
Keeping things simple and clean. I truly wonder what Versus XIII would have been liked had it been finished. I wanted Stella.
True, im glad they scrapped Stella for a moe blob Luna who does nothing but get killed.
Seriously, in the 1.0 version of the game, Luna is barely in it at all & the only importance is her death leading into the world of ruin, Stella must have been really bad or something.
Haven't played it, but from what I've seen the boss fights look solid at least. Big improvements from base game.
He is.
FF7R was at first BD1 only, then they brought in CC2, then went back to internal production only. Not even talking about the prototypes and ideas they had before 2015.
I can't watch the video fully right now, so please excuse me if the question is dumb, but I've read somewhere that the boss does have 40 health bars but skipping through the video, I only saw ~20. Are some of them hidden (if I remember correctly it was like that in KHII?) or was the 40 bars an exaggeration?
Yozura even makes a point that what we see is not really him..... Sooo yeah he is totally Noctis. Also the driver? Totally Luxord.
Things get even more awkward when you realize that they already put this scene into FFXV's dlc. Like fuck I just wanna go through Disney worlds, this isn't hella stupid.
This isn't an honest framing. Both Bloodblorne and Sekiro are iterations on From's technology, with lots of asset reuse, (asset reuse doesn't just start and end at art). Thats how that studio is able to get titles out in such a timely manner. Not dissimilar from the AC series. Remake on the other hand, by my knowledge doesn't benefit from asset reuse. Five years also isn't a outlier when it comes to dev time. It's almost the standard for AAA games.
The boss fights are incredible, but if you're more interested in the story, it doesn't add much.
With two other people I thought and they seem to be more in the interviews, speaking about the game than he is.
I mean, have you seen Kairi in KH III? Luna indeed does nothing, but let's not pretend Nomura has a great track record with this.
Hell, the NotStella from this new iteration of Versus is already in need of rescuing by NotNoctis. At least Luna is the one who protects Noctis, kind of.
People are asking to be disappointed again if they put too much faith on that front. If you want good female characters, you're better off keeping an eye on FFVII, because at least they have a good base for that.
Because Versus 13 was a mismash of incoherent scenes none of which fit together in anyway outside of trailer editing. With a ton of smoke and mirrors shots as the game concept kept changing and changing. On top of having an engine that couldnt handle any of these concepts and a skeleton crew.
I don't think it's fair to just blame one person for a huge project failing, but the one thing I don't get about this whole "this is my vision, Remastered!" with Yozora is the trash bag outfit. Nomura was the one who ditched that for the Roen designs, that was back when it was still Versus. I guess he regrets ditching it? I don't know.
"Can I get another decade to piss away your money SE? I totally won't dump off my half assed project on to another poor sap..."
I think it is just a nod. SE would be fools to let him have at that project again
I think it is just a nod. SE would be fools to let him have at that project again
Man just gave them a game that was in the top 10 sold games of 2019.
Pretty sure they are fine with Nomura's brand of insanity
"Piss away". Dude people will eat this up. There are MANY still disappointed in FFXV from the changes made alone and Square knows this. Call the KH storylines trash if you want, but stuff like this is WHY people are so fascinated with the franchise, because its nuts.
I for one want the franchise to get a bit darker, and Id love to get whatever batshit storyline was originally planned for Versus, in Kingdom Hearts.
Are we forgetting that in the original Versus XIII concept Stella was a ghost that literally got fridged by Noctis himself?
