After all the delays and all the time this game has been in development, we are finally getting FFXV this year. The release date will be announced at a special event in March and the game is currently in pre-beta according to director Hajime Tabata. After close to 10 years of development, it feels amazing that something that was once in development hell is now finally a reality and its only months away from release. My first time seeing trailers for this game i was only 12 years old and it was the main reason i got a PS3 back in the day. Now i am 22 years old and i am just as excited as i was back then.

Lol. They didn't stall. Nomura just didn't know what the heck he was going to do with Versus XIII, then he changed engines and then the dev kits came in. KH3 began development in 2010 but they were too busy making DDD to worry about it, by the time that was done the dev kits came in. They couldn't remake VII while Nomura, Nojima & Kitase were working on Versus XIII.

Yes because that is why FF Versus XIII changed development, when they said it themselves, FF Versus can't be done on the last gen consoles, and it seems like you don't know what I mean by stalled, I mean they didn't decide to make the games on the last gen consoles, regardless of the circumstances it doesn't matter, they are being made on x86 current gen systems.

I'm more looking forward to the likely X-3 anyway.

I should also point out that the former president of SE said that a FF7 Remake will be made if a FF game outsells FF7, FFXV was still being made by Nomura until Habata was given the reigns because , SE wanted Nomura to work on KH3 so that we can get the game in 2017-2018 as opposed to 2022-2023, and they heard about the new consoles in 2011 probably got the devkits in that time period to, so they definitely halted off on bringing both games to the last gen hardware.

And, I quote: TORIYAMAAAAAAAA. I know your NDA forbids it, but after the time comes I'm expecting huge nukes to drop. And one of them will be X-3, I hope.

X is my favorite mainline title along with its sequel(s). Then XIII comes at a close second with its sequel(s).

 

I'm hyped for FFXV, but not as much as I would be for a X and/or XIII sequel.

Actually, he said exceeded the quality, not sales. And did any of the key FF staff agree with Wada on that? No.

 

And no, they got the dev kits in mid 2012. They couldn't even worry about making KH3 until KH3D was done, which was when they got the dev kits. There was no halt, Tabata has even said since Versus XIII did not have a direction.

They knew what platform Versus was going to be on, and they had to halt because of the lack of well 1 direction, and 2. because new consoles were coming out, KH3 well was a result of the FFXV halting, stopping in their tracks whatever you want to call it to change the game development to different systems.

 

"Due to the growing scale of the project, talks about changing Versus XIII into the next numbered entry in the series were appearing as early as 2007.^[19] When Type-0, originally titled Final Fantasy Agito XIII, was renamed, and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were presented to Square Enix in 2011, it was decided to shift the game onto those consoles." 

 

I should also state that it was FFXV that was the reason Nomura couldn't work on KH3..

"In the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania guide book, Nomura announced three upcoming titles, one of which was Kingdom Hearts III. However, Final Fantasy XV was still his primary focus, preventing him from starting production on Kingdom Hearts III."

Nomura was still directing XV when KH3 was announced.

Ask Tabata, he keeps saying 2012, when he joined the project.

I'm not talking about when he joined the project,I'm talking about when SE were presented with the PS4/XBOX ONE SPECS in 2011. 

FFVS13 was going to be a PS4/Xbox One title regardless if Tabata joined or not.

"For a time, a PlayStation 3 version continued development, but after a title change announcement could not be made in 2012, the shortening lifespan of the console caused concern for the company and team."

after some trial and error, the PlayStation 3 was abandoned as lead platform in favor of a DirectX 11-based development structure

Yes, and they got the dev kits in mid 2012. That's what Tabata said.

They would have known what the specs were before hand causing them to ditch development, when they got the devkits wouldn't be relevant to this situation, because they would A. know what the specs were before they get the devkits, and B. know when they would get the devkits themselves, also can you please provide a link to your claim.
