Hironobu Sakaguchi to announce new game on June 22

He really needs to come back to FF and save it from filth like Tabata, Kitase and the rest.

It's Mistwalker, not Square Enix

He promised to create a console version of Terra Battle...over two years ago. Looking at how he can't manage a goddamn mobile game properly, to the point it stays afloat only because of the names attached to it, I doubt he can do anything actually good anymore

>>380952010

Disreguard this thread everyone. False alarm.

Friendly reminder that
- Most of the games associated with this guy weren't actually made by him (look up FF6, 7 etc)
- The only reason Lost Odyssey doesn't get much flack is because barely anyone played it
- He is a hack and always has been

Nomura has never (read: NEVER) directed an FF game.

No it was his actual opinion, he gave it his GOTY and had been praising Tabata for a while now. And in a livestream he was doing with Tabata last year he started shit talking Kitase while praising Tabata. Your denial is hilarious though.

He was supposed to make the mobile game Terra Battle into a full console game a long time ago after it passed a certain download milestone. It is actually pretty good, but I hope it's something else. It works fine as is, unless he turns it into a traditional JRPG.

>>380953237
Nomura wrote 7s base story and was the one who wrote that Aeris dies, he is the one who talked about it in interviews, not Sakaguchi

Nomura is the one who talked about death saying that death is sudden and unpredictable, that originally he knew someone was to die but that he didn't want it to be Barret because that would be too predictable which is why he wrote that Aeris dies, because that wasn't predictable, Nomura wrote the whole base story and all the characters of 7

The only thing Sakaguchi wrote on 7 was the lifestream concept

Then Kitase and Nojima took Nomura's base story+characters and mixed it with Sakaguchis lifestream concept and fleshed out the story

>>380953126
No that was misinterpreted translation of his stayement and he cleared that up on a livestream a few days later after where he said XV uses multiple buttons for jump, attack, dodge, warp etc, not just one button and that you can tap the attack button to attack.

But you're just going to ignore that.

>>380953278
they had around 2 years of time to work on the game in reality. creating the FFXV that we ended up getting within 2 years against all the odds is VERY VERY impressive. tabata is clearly competent.

>No that was misinterpreted translation of his stayement
Every time. Every fucking time. Why do I even bother with this nutjob?

>>380953278
It isn't unfinished and it has more content than any other FF. Ch13 patch just added new stuff and only showed something about Ravus that people who payed attention would have already known .Just because new side story stuff is being added doesn't make it unfinished.

>>380953593
>He didnt pick ff13 as his GOTY, or ff12 or ff14 either
Nobody fucking asked for his GOTYs back then.

>>380953013
woah Tabata actually has good taste in vidya.

>>380953465
Maybe, just maybe that's true, but spending so much time and resources on a game that's already released in order to try fix is a sign of incompetence. People who were disappointed by XV at launch will not suddenly call it a great game even if you add major content elaborating on some characters 3 years after the game releases. By now the team should disband and be distributed to other projects, whoring out XV as a franchise itself doesn't help at all because soon enough you will end up with what caused Kingfom Hearts to be so hated
>>380953732
>Just because new side story stuff is being added doesn't make it unfinished.
Episode Gladio takes place within the main story of the game, it's essentially a cut content, not a sidestory

>>380953420
>Tabata's also in pursuit of a Final Fantasy that's not as overwhelming as its predecessors, and one that can be enjoyed by a broader audience. "With Final Fantasy 15, I do want to make it more casual," he says. "Of course the depth of the game is going to be there, but I want to make it so players can easily experience the satisfaction of the depth of the game." There's an option to set that car to drive itself, allowing players to sit back and take in the sights - although there is also an option to drive it manually, should they want to engage more fully with the world.

>"Another example is in the combat," explains Tabata. "With the hardware specifications of the newer consoles, it's possible to set it up so you have different enemies and different choices of attacks you can enter in, but I want to simplify that. It'll basically be a one-button action, and the AI intuitively outputs an action that kind of satisfies, gives you that instant gratification, and it connects with the simple touch of a button. I myself am not getting any younger. I don't want to be frantically pushing buttons. I also want to utilise the intelligence of the hardware spec, and not have to go through too much hassle or trouble in order to execute moves."

Sakaguchi came up with the Materia system.

>>380953650
It's mentioned everytime because it's a fucking fact. Just playing the game already confirms that you have an attack button, dodge button, warp button, jump button, weapon switching buttons and more, so what the fuck are you even trying to still pretend there's only one button used to do everything with?

>>380954054
UE4 is pretty godly

>>380954054

>>380953749
So basically you're full of shit and in denial. But hey keep moving the goalposts.

>>380954096
The Materia system isn't why FF7 is so popular though, even though it's arguably the best customization system in any game ever.

>>380953853
Episode Gladio is a sidestory, the main story is Noctis going to Steyliff with Aranea learning about the empire and the daemons, while that happens Gladio is off training with Cor and fights Gilgamesh, and after that Noctis in the main story meets up with Gladio back in lestallum. Gladio's episode has nothing to do with progressing the main story. It's a self contained side story where he temporarily left the party for a few days and rejoined.

>>380954313
The fact that he didn't even make one is more than enough proof that he didn't give 12, 13 or 14 his GOTY

Also Sakaguchi said he refused to play FF12.

I don't care about different button actions. You still hold O and hold Square for majority of fights, as they are the most optimal and viable combat methods. The game wasn't designed to be a hassle, like he said, and that's why hold O/Square always works. The casualization of XV alligns exactly with his statement.

>>380954589
Hey look more fucking denial.

>>380954643

>>380953403
wow i dont think you understand. sakaguchi was the producer of the game. he had a very large influence on its development. just because you cant google his name and find very specific details of the game's story that were spearheaded by him, doesnt mean that he didnt have a very large influence on the game's development. I love all big FF names except for toriyama for the record

>>380954683
He didn't backtrack anything, he cleared up a misunderstanding in a livestream done specifically made to address his misinterpreted statements, but you're still going to ignore that.

>Tabata's also in pursuit of a Final Fantasy that's not as overwhelming as its predecessors, and one that can be enjoyed by a broader audience.
And yet it hasn't even sold the launch Day 1 shipment. How ironic. Meanwhile Atlus outsold Persona 4 by three times by simply focusing on making a great game. Tabata being a businessman disguised as a director doesn't understand that.

The development of FF7 has been detailed multiple times, because IT'S FUCKING FF7, the most popular jrpg ever.

it's just different priorities, if your a businessman you have this philosophy to get things done, if your an artist that doesn't always get priority and you often get shit on by people who don't get people who don't prioritize that.

Holy fucking shit XV is a trainwreck. The only impressive thing about that game is how well SE PR masked the failure. Tabata took the greatest JRPG of all time and turned it into a Ubisoft game because he has zero vision or integrity.

>>380955706
Wasting development time and resources on shit like fishing, carnivals, food, anime and movie tie-ins, costumes, rocks, and more pointless shit besides instead of actually making the core game good is "competent"? You are hilarious. Truly.

because i can compare the latest build of xv from 2015 to the latest build of KH3 and XV would look like complete shit.

Did you forget all the shitposting anti-kun did with all his images that showed pre-beta XV looking like shit?

Does XV look anything like prebeta XV? no it looks 1000 times better.

Stop trying to shit on KH with such dirty shitty tactics, you have become the "anti-kun" of kh at this point, xv-kun.

So you're lying about it being one button, because there's various buttons for different actions. You're deliberately ignoring his statement where he cleared up what he meant while you keep clinging to his misinterpreted statement. You can tap o button to attack and only get manual finishers from tapping, move lstick for directional inputs, tap triangle for warp, r1+triangle for warp strike, square for dodge roll or use shields with square to block, x to jump, dpad directions for on the fly weapon switching, jump and attack for aerial combos etc.

You're full of shit and in denial while trying to cling to a statement that was already cleared up with his follow up statememt from the ATR.

>>380955182
What the fuck are you even talking about? FFXV broke even and has made a profit since. It's initial shipment was 5m in December, then in January an additional 1m was shipped out because it's physical units were almost depleted and stores requested more, it sold out the initial 5m shipment by february, plus adding digital sales to the 5m+ sales it's over 6m sales ww. Triple what P5 sold.

I did forget about this. however this is not a game. this is a single room with enemies, and a character you can move around with. the "combat" way in no way playable at this point in time.

and even if this really was a 100% playable level that worked perfectly, clearly NOTHING about this was used for the final game except for visual assets
>>380956746
because they didnt have to create it so that it would function during regular gameplay. they simply animated it for this specific clip to be in a trailer

>>380956715
The KH3 trailer clearly created renewed interest in the series which is why there have been so many threads showing up recently. Of course, you can tell yourself it's just a coincidence

>>380955658

Why is everything plastic? why is there no proper shadows?

>>380956795
>clearly NOTHING about this was used for the final game except for visual assets

of course, Tabata said himself that the combat was at first similar to Kingdom Hearts but he changed it.

He also said himself that this was real gameplay and not mocked up, he was the one responsible for creating the prototype.

It was real.

>>380956795
>it doesn't count!!!!!!!!
Keep digging your whole deeper there. Also, you have forgot to explain what is MASSIVELY impressive about Tabata's 10 hour Ubisoft™ experience

your perception of video game development is very very misguided. tabata was essentially a janitor, he didnt create the game with his own 2 hands exactly how he wanted it to be. he managed to take a mess that didnt even have a clear script for its plot after 10 years "development" and took 2 years to form a functional open world action RPG out of it. you act as though comparing this to the clean and comfortable development of an ubisoft game is a bad thing. you know nothing about video game development or design.

The time has come again for me to remind them

>>380954205
they never had a chance, the mentality that they had to design their own engine for every game they made was a product of the PS2 era where that mentality more or less did them good in all their games, borrowing engines was for the west and smaller companies, only now that it's compleltey blew up in their faces and they actually gave a third party engine a shot did they realize all the time wasted, it was all just culture difference.

Nice.

>>380956210

Having animation and design concepts from 2011 still used means nothing when every single asset was created from scratch AFTER the 2013 trailer was shown. Even all the animations were touched up to incorporate the additional bones in the character models to make it look smoother than it did before.

>>380956218
Ubisoft games have 1000 devs working on their games, compared to XV which had only 200-400. And no.

>>380956247
Tabata only took over in December 2013.

Nomura was still in charge in 2012 and all through 2013 up till December.

my only wish is that it the combat looks a little less Birth by Sleep'ish by the end, command slots are fine for PSP KH but console KH shoudn't be working off of skills and final attacks that work automatically of the last couple of skills you did, give the player the chance to pull those off whenever he wants.

>>380957545
>all through 2013 up till December.

Nomura wasn't in the Final Fantasy committee, therefore he stopped being the director sometime BEFORE October of 2013.

That was a tech demo set only in the citadel in insomnia, they only mixed clips of that into the trailer. The Altissia stuff from 2013 was all fake CGI with a UI put on it.

I'm not even the person you were arguing to about hold one button to win.
>You can tap o button to attack and only get manual finishers from tapping, move lstick for directional inputs, tap triangle for warp, r1+triangle for warp strike, square for dodge roll or use shields with square to block, x to jump, dpad directions for on the fly weapon switching, jump and attack for aerial combos etc.

>"I-if i make it sound verbose, then maybe it'll seem like it isn't a dumbed down combat system for literal brain dead children!"
You can make any game sound deep by making it verbose.

None of what you posted disproves what Tabata says. The mistranslation only applies to one button to win. Statements like:
>"I myself am not getting any younger. I don't want to be frantically pushing buttons. I also want to utilise the intelligence of the hardware spec, and not have to go through too much hassle or trouble in order to execute moves."
and
>"Tabata's also in pursuit of a Final Fantasy that's not as overwhelming as its predecessors, and one that can be enjoyed by a broader audience. "With Final Fantasy 15, I do want to make it more casual,"
and
"There's an option to set that car to drive itself, allowing players to sit back and take in the sights "
are not mistranslations as they are evident in the game

Finishers and styles/drives work through situational commands now, so you'll never be forced into them. I'm assuming you haven't played 0.2 yet but it works the same way there so it's worth picking up to try it out if you can get it for cheap.

Six months was confirmed to be an overestimate, the game was actually developed in three weeks. Based Tabata!

3 weeks including the pre-production phase, it was actually 1 week and 13 hours of sleepless non stop working, not even for food or water.

>>380958950
Might be lower than average for FF, but that's actually pretty long. AND you're exaggerating

>>380957694
No, he stopped being director in December 2013. Ferrari stated Nomura left XV in December 2013, Ferrari said that's also when he left FFXV, and Tabata has stated he became the director in December 2013. The business divisions of SE were also put into play in december 2013 when SE restructured the whole company.

Nomura not being on the FF commity means literally nothing.

>>380957786
Nomura was the director in 2012 through to December 2013, Tabata was only co-director from 2012 through to December 2013 and took over as director in December 2013. You're the one desperately trying to spin shit.

Tabata stated when he joined in 2012 he was requested to lead a prototype build, that prototype was the insomnia footage at the citadel we saw in E3 2013. The Altissia stuff and the other stuff in the 2013 trailer was stuff Nomura lead, with the Altissia stuff being fake CGI mocked up to look like gameplay, and Nomura mixed in some footage of the insomnia prototype build that Tabata was leading into his trailer.

In July 2013 they then started merging the game into luminous engine where it was at the time using ebony engine, aka a heavily modified crystal tools. Then in December 2013 Nomura left.

In December 2013 the company restructured with FFXV being made by BD2 with Tabata heading that division too, KH3 by BD3 with Nomura being in BD3 and Hashimoto heading that division.

In 2014 they migrated all Luminous engine devs to the FFXV team which is why they stopped using it for KH3 on Luminous, all luminous devs were moved to BD2 to finish the engine and game alongside each other instead of it being spread between multiple games, so KH3 restarted on UE4 in 2014, FF7R also started around this time in 2014 by BD1 headed by Kitase also with UE4.

It is standard practice to finish a game engine alongside a game, and for XV they did that with luminous which is a finished engine as of December 2016.

>>380958020
Yeah and he obviously was referring to the Altissia stuff since that's the 2013 trailer people think of straight away. The insomnia stuff was just a tech demo.

An actual full "game" didn't exist, a tech demo did and some fake mocked up CG pretending to be a game did.

But he showed FFXV on PC, and obviously the higher ups are forcing him to wait for the DLC to come out before he does the PC version. This is standard and clear higher up interference.

Just like with type0HD on PC in February 2015 he was asked about it and had to say no plans, then it came out in March then in may announced the PC version because he was allowed to then.

It's clear as day he wants to put it on PC but the higher ups aren't letting him announce it yet, which is why he's doing round about ways to show FFXV on PC and nod to it.

This is the dumbest shit you could have said
They're taking their time because they're doing the DLC stuff first and he said he wants the PC version to be technically superior to the console version and use things they had to drop because of comsole limitations. He can't officially announce a PC version yet because his higher ups wont let him. Tabata is literally the head of business division 2 which is also the advanced technology division at SE which is why he's PC focussed. He again already has showcased FFXV on PC with improved graphics and assets at GDC in March a few months ago with XV running on a GTX1080ti, and also already said he wants his new IP to make use of the latest tech with PC, he recently even showed an in engine version of Kingsglaive assets with Nyx running in luminous engine in real time at GTC, which only insanely expensive rig could run, so I'm not even sure what the fuck you're talking about.

>>380962439
>bla bla fucking bla

He can brag and talk all he wants. He can even demo his wife's fat ass if he wants to. Fact of the matter is that there's still no FFXV PC version because Tabata is a hypocrite and a two-faced liar who wants to appear as everyone's best friend when in truth he's just a corporate tool.

FFXV had no direction. Its so-called director was just doing whatever he read on online surveys and what his SE bosses told him. This is why the game looks like five games in one. He was randomly picking up pieces all over the place shoving it all into one game. This has to be one of the most clueless directions in modern videogames. And honestly very surprising for a Japanese game who tend to proud themselves on strong director figures to carry the creative process.

How the fuck has he not been rangebanned yet? This is fucking ridiculous now.

>>380951713
It's a mobile game

>>380952589
Because he can't finish any fucking games anymore. I guarantee you the FF7 remake will get yanked away from him just like FF15. The only reason they haven't yanked him off KH3 is because the dude would legitimately kill him self if that happened because that series is his "baby." This dude is seriously a Kojima level waste of money.

sorry bro, I love sakaguchi as much as anyone else but I do think he is better as a producer or co- director. He's a great team manager and it's wonderful when he has the final say so but there are better directors.

>>380971394
What the fuck are you talking about, autist?

>>380970871
>lost oddysey was great
As long as you like bloated "RPGs" mechanically stuck in the 90s, I guess.
>blue whatever was received well
Blue Dragon was hardly received well and most of the momentum it got was from Toriyama doing the art and Sakaguchi and Uematsu's names plastered on it, after people played the game they all realized it was yet another generic JRPG, like many others you could find in the market
>while not my cup of tea was well received by mobile fans
Mobile fans are a thing now?
>And yes, he's a great team manager
He's a terrible team manager, if you actually took your time to play through Squaresoft's library and do some research you'll notice how most of the actually great titles Square produced aren't related to Sakaguchi, you'll also notice how many of these titles also got butchered by Sakaguchi's terrible management and inflated ego, see Xenogears or the first SaGa Frontier.
Sakaguchi is a good marketer and a great talent scout, he's always got a nose for finding extremely talented people, but as an actual director or manager he's absolutely terrible and should be barred from handling any project, lest he drives it into the ground, much like he did with Mistwalker.

>>380971436
VI barely did better than V by any metric when you adjust for the fact that VI came out overseas and V didn't until the PS1 and VII had a fucking 100 million dollar marketing budget.

You're a fucking idiot

>>380972279
Just listing off credits doesn't mean much. For instance, he barely did anything on FF7 .

>>380972279
Are you dumb, did you even fully read the anons post

>>380972406
yes I did:
>He's a terrible team manager, if you actually took your time to play through Squaresoft's library and do some research you'll notice how most of the actually great titles Square produced aren't related to Sakaguchi

That's fucking wrong. Sakaguchi was apart of every great square game in that era. And if you morons would actually read interviews by the directors, you would see that sakaguchi had much more input than your typical producer. Sakaguchi always found time to help them on their projects

>>380972670
>That's fucking wrong.
No it's kind of accurate
>Sakaguchi was apart of every great square game in that era
Having your name slapped on as EP for a lot of these titles is not that big of a deal
>you would see that sakaguchi had much more input than your typical producer
We're talking about sakaguchi as director and team manager
>Sakaguchi always found time to help them on their projects
Except when he was making his shit movie.

This thread is the reason nobody buys JRPGs anymore.

>>380972670
Just Stop. It isn't 1997 anymore. We have the internet and we have resources, and what people have uncovered is that Sakaguchi was a hack who never did much for most of the games he was credited for. Lost Odyssey was also trash. Just accept it and move on, I felt much better when I did.

>>380973048
>it's kinda accurate
tell me, what great square games did sakaguchi have ZERO involvement in?
>>380973048
>we're talking about him as director and team manager
1) no we're not, we're talking about his involvement in square games.
2) as producer, he was team manager over most of their productions at the time.

>>380971839
>And? That's what sakaguchi fans want.
Good for you if that's the case, but that hardly make LO or BD good games for anyone but Sakaguchi fans.
>you're the fag who goes into Dragon quests threads and shit on the series for "not evolving"
I don't go into DQ threads because I don't like DQ and have zero interest in that series for many reasons, DQ did evolve in its own contest though and also tried to do very interesting things like having a generational structure or build a continuity between many games, so I can't really back up that claim, it's much better than FF in that sense, at least DQ never lost its identity and kept building on it instead of becoming something completely different in order to stay relevant.
>>380972279
Cool beans, too bad he did barely any work on most of those unlike other producers or directors at Square.
>>received tributes and honor from all FF directors, claiming he is their hero and mentor
And what does that amount to exactly?
>>380972670
>Sakaguchi was apart of every great square game in that era
Just to take a few out of your list
>producer of xenogears
He had zero input on this outside of slashing its budget and development time for FFVIII, such a great decision!
>producer of parasite eve
Nomura had more relevance in the game's development than fucking Sakaguchi, and so did he for PE2 which was a much better game than the first without Sakaguchi having anything to do with it
>executive producer of legend of mana
Again, zero input, the game was made by Ishii and Kawazu, Sakaguchi had no relevance other than giving the greenlight
>producer of front mission 3
Still zero input and FM3 is widely regarded as the worst FM title and a huge stepback from 2, so I wouldn't really be too happy of having my name on it.
>producer of vagrant story
Which got butchered in both story and gameplay.
All the rest is FF and two largely overrated games, you say those are the greatest Squaresoft games but I see no SaGa, Einhander etc.

>>380953403
Sakaguchi is better at handling projects and getting shit done. The only issue with the guy is that he can sometimes be too ambitious as the FF movie nearly sinked the company. Nomura can also be as ambitious, but he sucks at finishing projects. As Anons said, he was responsible for the materia system. Sakaguchi's role in FFVI is in no way minor. Here's from an old interview with 1-UP.

>1UP: From there, you took a much bigger role with FFVI. Can you talk about what you wanted to accomplish with this game?

>YK: With FFVI, my role was similar to what it had been with FFV, except that the volume of the game grew once again exponentially. So the team of people working on the event scenes and scenario side grew to about four or five. And, of course, Sakaguchi was the director and had primary control overseeing those aspects of the game as well. But he'd also become very busy at that time after becoming vice-president of the company and had a lot of other projects going on. He couldn't put 100% into FFVI, so I took charge of more of those event scenes.

Sakaguchi isn't an Inafune, and /v/ wants to find the next Inafune just as /v/ wants the next TORtanic all for memes as shitpostinf. For one, he doesn't rely on Kickstarters to fund his games. Secondly, his co-workers respect him unlike with Inafune. Eraqus was based off of Sakaguchi, so Nomura has a ton of respect for him.

Will Sakaguchi's next game be good? I hope, but he hasn't made a proper RPG in a while.

>>380973527
I don't think he's a hack, especially when he never really meddled in actual game design after the first few FF(who were still done mostly by the actual talented designers of Square, so Tanaka, Kawazu, etc.), so we hardly have any grounds to judge him when 90% of the work is done by other people.

I'm just saying that he's more of a marketer and figurehead for games rather than an actual designer, and that he's not nearly as competent in handling projects like someone here wants to believe, he's more or less the same as Inafune, except that even Inafune gets his hands dirty working on game design more than him.

>>380973527
>>380973587
>Came to /v/

>Tabata haters still salty over the fact he LITERALLY saved the FF franchise
