You were seriously looking through source code? That javascript wouldn't be obvious from just looking at the page.

Ohhhh, this fits with the "look for announcements running up to E3" comment. Also, what kinda nerdlord is waiting around checking out source code?

If they only cared about the return on investment, the most rational thing to do would've been to just leave FFXV as it was at launch. It made plenty of profit at that point, despite being a complete unfinished mess. The work they've done since then clearly can't have had that same return on...

Please don't tell me I have to watch Ant-man movies to understand what's gonna happen in this? I'd really prefer if it wasn't just a time travel thing. That's such a lazy plot device. But then again, I managed to suspend disbelief for Thanos' really dumb motivation in Infinity War, so I'll...

This has been my impression of him too. It is based on such limited information that it might be completely wrong. But I get the sense he's all creativity and very little structure. But games need that balance of both.

They abandoned the stuff that's cheap to produce (story) and kept all the stuff that's expensive to produce (art assets and music). Lol. Well I guess it makes business sense. If you watch the old footage, you can notice that even the animation for Aranea attacking from above was kept for XV.

I'd never heard people try and pin X or XIII on him. XV though, he was the early director, so probably bears some responsibility for it's messy development. Impossible to really know whose fault that was from the outside though.

Hmm yes you appear to be correct about FF7. I didn't know that at all. If you look at the main credits for the game, or on his wikipedia bio, it just credits him for character design and battle design.

Ok I overstated "nothing but character designs". But from reading his bio, before Kingdom Hearts, about 90% of his work was art design, so I think the spirit of what I was saying is mostly true.

Well they did make Nomura into a director after he'd done nothing but character designs for a decade. They have some weird policies.

They're still publicly traded though, so have investors who want to see a return on investment. So there must be some pressure to see things released on schedule, even if people understand they can afford to delay things when necessary. Maybe it's just the fact that they know Nintendo has such...

If they've had a full team of several hundred people working on it this entire time (5 years-ish), it seems like they might need to get it released quite soon for purely financial reasons. Very few companies are like Nintendo, where they just delay things as many times as they feel is...

Yeah it's still consistent with the idea, and I think there's a good chance it'll release this winter. But there are other explanations as well when you take into account it's the yearly income rather than quaterly, which is what I mistakenly thought. If it had been the quaterly income of 40...

Good point actually about April. I didn't think of that. They probably do plan this stuff to align with the fiscal years. If something is coming in April though, we're gonna need to hear about it quite soon. They surely want to give people a few weeks notice.

Lol can I change my choice to Seymour too. Forgot about that wacko

Terra Wars DLC was quite good too. Only wished they'd made it fit into the main world a bit better, like the XIV one did.

About half way through the game! About to get to Ep Gladio. Did the XIV crossover DLC for the first time. That was pretty damn good. About to do the Terra Wars one.

Why April?

29. Tidus' design always looked very silly to me. Looks exactly like someone who plays a water sport, but forgot to change after the match. 30. FF7Remake reveal completely slayed me. I literally fell out of my chair cos I fist pumped too vigorously whilst leaning backwards.

The comment about announcements leading up to E3 was in the context of the yearly income, meaning it would have to be release date announcements, rather than just announcements that they're working on it.
