Fantasy Versus Reality: The Story Behind Final Fantasy XV

A short discussion about the legacies of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XV, and how - 20 years later - we should reflect on them. Subtitles available! Truth be told, I nearly didn't publish this one! It's not my desire to do a Versus history video, as there is so little concrete detail, and I was tempted to scrap and redo it entirely. The main message I'm trying to communicate is not what was lost nor attempt to create a timeline, but to appreciate how Final Fantasy XV battled with the legacy of Nomura's project - and how, to me and many other fans, it succeeded against these odds. The initial draft of this essay was a little more provocative, along the lines of "Did Versus actually ruin FFXV?". When I started writing, I wanted to try a piece that challenged the narrative of FFXV ruining Versus by flipping it on its head. Instead of focusing on what XV changed, I wanted to reframe it as burdens Versus placed on XV, ultimately making its development far harder because of outlandish, undeveloped concepts that created impossible expectations. That is not the tone I settled on; I did retain the theme of "fantasy vs. reality", and how Versus's unchecked imagination made it suffer in translation to a real game. However, the original tone came off as too judgmental. The reality is, there is no single party to blame for Versus and XV - nobody could have foreseen all of the factors and complications! When the time came to turn Versus into a realised video game, it was always going to be nearly impossible, and I think the FFXV team did an amazing job of adapting what they could, making tough decisions and doing their best to make a great game. I like this appreciative angle the most. Anyway, all of that aside - hope you enjoyed! This is the first time I've attempted an essay, and no doubt if I do any more they will be a little more refined, but I thought this was a topic that comes up often and it was worth sharing some thoughts on.
