There was a previous poll on predictions of FFXV release. I looked at it and saw there was 10 votes. I'm curious about each of those people's reactions and feelings when the chance just got from slim to nothing. Thoughts?
Yah, I was one of those people that said late 2015-early 2016 ( and I still do for the moment). Just because they said we went from 55%-60% in 4 monthsish, doesn't mean we won't see this game till late 2016- early 2017. That's not how development works. Some stages are easier than others, everyone is working on there own section of the game, which is why Tabata says we are at 60% (from 55%), and then right after says:
" As things start to come together, it could jump to 80% in one go"
80% in most games is the game itself is complete. All that's left is Debugging and optimization. ( The last 20%). The question becomes will they be able to combine all the work into one for the magic 80% number by E3 2015? Maybe, I don't know how much each section has done, but I do feel they will be able to do it, because that's how optimistic I am
. If they hit 80% Before E3 2015 it's a definite we will see the game in late 2015 (or early 2016).
They also are outsourcing this game as well working on the second half of the game ( who knows how far they are into the later half of the game). The fact that they are getting other people to work on this game, lets me know they are serious on getting this game out ASAP, and gives me hope of a late 2015-early 2016 release.
We shall see what happens E3 2015 is only 3 monthsish away.
