Yes, eight years after being announced, and two years after they apparently started over and threw out most of their prior work, FFXV, nee FF Versus XIII, is only 55% complete... http://kotaku.com/the-man-who-saved-fina...1637142585

On that note, Nomura was removed from the game; the guy in these articles, Tabata, is the new director.

No female player characters confirmed: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/22/fin...road-trip/ So this will be the first FF game since the second one to not have any females allowed. Disappointing!

I've never been too interested in this game, and all this stuff doesn't help... but of course, I'm not a Square fan, and never have been one. The only one of Square's games I've actually finished is Final Fantasy Adventure, I believe...

Final Fantasy 2 did have female characters though...

As for the new guy... Hard to say. I like Kingdom Hearts, but it's a fact that newer FF games have kinda... been very shallow in just about every sense (except that they think they're deep). This guy... Well I did love the story of Crisis Core. I think it was accomplished very well, but the gameplay... Well I didn't really feel like I was actually "in" the world.

Frankly, I think Squeenix needs bigger upsets than this to fix what's wrong with Final Fantasy. I feel like Bravely Default is where it's at now.

Oh, I was thinking of Final Fantasy III (NES). The remake on the DS made one of the characters female, but in the original Famicom game all four are male.

This game is definitely supposed to be different in gameplay from the FF13 trilogy, but will it be better or not? Who knows.

Well, in the original game all four were rather ambiguous, similar to FF1.
