OK, now I know I said the beef was squashed, but I will break down my stance with FFXV one final time. After this, people should be able to clearly understand why I'm pessimistic about the game. I want to set this straight so y'all can see where I'm coming from I why I'm not feeling FFXV.
Personally, I think my enthusiasm for FFXV extinguished once Nomura was completely removed from the project. There's absolutely no way this game will now be the same as it was originally intended. FFXII had a different situation: in that case, Hiroyuki Ito, who took over directing, was already co-directing the game with Matsuno from the game's inception in December 2000; Ito was working on FFXII from day one alongside Matsuno. The case with FFXV is completely different. Tabata wasn't even working on FFXV when it was still VersusXIII and Nomura was directing. From VersusXIII's inception in November 2005 all the way until June 2012, Tabata wasn't involved in the game in any capacity. Now he's come out of nowhere and completely taken over the game as director, even bringing in his entire Type-0 staff and giving them section leader positions on the game. Nomura and most of his VersusXIII staff have been forced off the project in the process. What happened to all the section leaders who were on VersusXIII when Nomura was directing? Why has Jun Akiyama (FFXII scenario director) been replaced by Hiroki Chiba ( Type-0 scenario director)?
Worse still, Tabata is outright changing shit:
Knowing Nomura, he probably doesn't give a fuck about FFXV anymore. As of TGS 2014 where SQEX made it public that Tabata had taken over directing since July 2012, you don't see Nomura in interviews and shit about FFXV. Even when asked about it, he doesn't want to talk about it. FFXV is like a girl he used to date, but is now dating some other dude. He cared about her when they were dating, but now she's with some other dude, he honestly just doesn't give a fuck about her anymore. To give you my view on it, I liked VersusXIII when she was still dating Nomura. I don't give fuck about her while she's now called FFXV and dating Tabata, no matter how much her recent botox with Luminous Studio has improved her looks. She's not the same girl Nomura dated and I honestly don't care about her now that Tabata's the one hitting her pussy.

Worse still, Tabata is outright changing shit:
- Tabata has changed Stella's name to Luna and had her hairstyle changed.
- Tabata has had Prompto's costume and hairstyle changed by Roberto Ferrari, who is another person who joined from Type-0.
- Tabata has reduced Cor's role to just a Guest party member, even though Nomura said he'd be a full party member.
- Tabata's has edited Nomura's script and removed all the complex Fabula Nova Crystallis terms and themes from the narrative and dialogue.
- Tabata's changed the KH battle system into something like Type-0, making only Noctis playable when Nomura promised all party members playable.
- Tabata's removed all the TPS gameplay that Nomura had planned for Prompto.
- Tabata's removed the controllable airship and made the car more important, saying it will act like the airship from past FF games.
