Now, yes it sucks big time and it honestly should be almost finished by now but it's not. And there's some fair reasons why.

 

• The game didn't begin full production until after Advent Children Complete was released. The team handling FFXV's cutscenes is the same one who made Advent Children and Advent Children Complete.
• Developing a HD game with Crystal Tools isn't easy. As Square Enix learned the hard way with Final Fantasy XIII, it's not easy developing a HD game, let alone one with their own engine. XIII was plagued with development issues as a result, and it was always their priority.
• Kingdom Hearts Team members obviously worked on other projects. It's safe to assume that team members went to work on Final Fantasy XIII, Dissidia and Birth by Sleep. Maybe even Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
• Development shifted to PlayStation 4. Maybe the biggest one. Going to a brand new engine and a brand new console isn't easy clearly.
• Why hasn't it appeared at events since E3 2013? Square Enix are too busy promoting their other titles. Final Fantasy XIV in particular. Atm it's their big new FF game. Even if you don't like MMOs, it's understandable they don't want it overshadowed by what's hopefully one of the greatest Final Fantasy games of all time.
• No trailers allows them to focus on developing the game. While we'd all love to see new footage, by not releasing any it allows them to focus solely on the actual game.

Now yes, it still sucks big time and we really want footage and a release window and it might be hard to accept these facts but it's probably all the truth. Also, Nomura clearly sucks at directing HD games...

 

I'm expecting it at Tokyo Game Show though.

Square Enix said that they're releasing it in March next year so It must be pretty close to being finished.

I'm pretty sure they didn't...

I'm sure they did though I can't recall where. I doubt it will because of all the other big projects they have but it is "Scheduled" to release in March.

If they did everyone would know this. It would literally be the news of the year for gaming.

No they didn't. Their financial prediction did not include anywhere near that.

Either way, we just have to wait. Nomura might have other projects he's working on... 

40 days and 23 hours left until Tokyo Game Show.

He's always working on other projects. Too many if you ask me. He's working on mobile titles, HD remasters, and next gen games...not to mention he's probably character designing for Toriyama & Kitase's next project.

I know, I know. But that's Nomura. He's busy. 

Only thing I can say is, we just have to wait. No matter how long it will take.

Think you are confusing it that the game  won't be out before March 2015.

Seriously, Square didn't know how to manage their time properly...

Nomura sucks at directing HD games? Whatever he is doing, his HD games are the best HDs compared to all the other HD games out there.

Lol. He's never released a game he directed originally for HD consoles.

So what you are saying is that we probably won't see FF15 anytime soon? From the recent trailer a lot of the cutscenes where ones already seen from a previous trailer. Man this is a bummer I hope they give us some idea of when it will be released from TGS.

No, I didn't say that. I'm just explaining a lot of the reasons why it's taking so long. I'm hoping for a worldwide release between November 2015 & February 2016.

well when you put it the way you explained things it sounds like it going to be a while. But I honestly don't care at this point cause I don't even own a PS4

final fantasy 15 became a next gen exclusive title so they had to start from scratch saving very few resources since much of the games features had to be reworked especially the gameplay , environments and charecter models

That's one of my points as well.
