I’ve been bitten by the Versus 13 bug again.

At this point the ending of the FFVII remake will be Cloud waking up in the backseat of a car, Somnus playing in the background and Sephiroth driving.

Thank you for your initial response. May I ask once again about how Tabata bashed Stella so hard and stated there's no reason to talk about her anymore yet talks about her again somewhat positively? This came with the belief that there are some members of the development team who were still loyal to Nomura's ideas and probably the reason why he retracted his bashing to her somewhat.

What I heard about Stella/Luna debate in SE, coming from the source which leaked FFXV’s plot 6 months before game release; Stella was ditched and Lunafreya was taken in because they just needed some blonde chick to replace Stella. It was never stated WHY they removed Stella, as we can see her in the game art when the game has already changed to FFXV (and she was also going to appear in Kingsglaive).So, my own guess is that it might have been just a way to market Lunafreya. Like “Oh, Stella was useless, Luna here is much better”. In reality, the leaked source said that NO ONE in the team knew what to do with Luna or her relationship with Noctis. They basically pulled everything out from their asses in a super horrible haste. Stella had honestly more role, potential and plot in the Versus trailers than poor Luna had in whole FFXV >____>   She was supposed to be the enemy nation princess (possibly princess) having some sort of positive relationship with Noctis. They also shared an ability to see the Light of The Goddess Etro, which you could see if you had a near-death experience. Harvesting the power of this ability would need a sacrifice of someone you loved. There was a clear hint of romance or endearment there, but in the end Noctis and Stella would need to fight each other. Just for the sake of the crystal and Noctis’s nation being the one who abuses everyone and everything with the last surviving Crystal. Versus was supposed to be dark and challenging, basing on Shakespear’s Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet.

(This is a scene from the trailer where Stella and Noctis get ready to fight each other)

In FFXV poor Lunafreya was such a wasted potential. I mean, if the team was leaded well, they could have written a great political romance! An arranged marriage with people who have met each others only once as kids to save their nations from war; a bride who is 24 while the groom is just 20; a bride who was taken in Nilfheim against her will and abused (this was removed from the game) - would she had rebelled against Nilfheim or the marriage or both? Would they have gone against both Niflheim and Lucis and started their own nation to end the war? If events of Versus and Omen Trailer were to happen, would Luna been set against her groom / husband while he slips in the dark side in order to stop him? Or would she had followed him? Would she had taken the marriage with Noctis as a relieve or just as a role to follow whether she wanted or not, a role which was ordered for her by the same people who abused her since childhood?I mean, SO MANY OPTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES. All gone.

There’s a petition going on with a wish that Versus XIII’s story could be released as an alternative reality version for the story of FFXV. (Name could be something like Final Fantasy XV Versus)  Not to replace the game but continue it, in a different settings, in a different timeline (just like how The Omen Trailer is canonically a different FFXV timeline). That we would get more story to play with the characters we love and those who waited for Versus XIII for 10 years - or were disappointed when all FFXV trailer contents were cut out from the final product - would finally be able to play the story as it was supposed to be before money and bad team management issues hit the production.Possible Luna DLC will not d0 much, as the whole game should be rewritten to make some sense.

A ”remake” of sorts of Final Fantasy XV is going to be announced in the near future as Final Fantasy Versus XV, directed by Tetsuya Nomura and overhauled by a team that knows more about Luminous now that XV was made, and with decidedly more KH-combat like. It will encompass the entire original story intended for Versus XIII. It will be teased in the XV (Versus) world in Kingdom Hearts III. However, before this there will be a game translation of Kingsglaive where you play as Nyx. Both this and XV will serve as the basis for Versus XV. This will happen sometime after the 1st or 2nd installment of FFVII Remake is released, and development time will be comparatively short since many of the assets are already complete.

More rumors about Final Fantasy XV “remake” as Final Fantasy XV Versus, directed by Nomura and following the original Versus story - but before that, Kingsglaive game with Nyx. I’d personally play that! There were just recently new rumors of KH3 having Insomnia level with Noctis, so this very old rumor (which I stumbled across just now) fits that. I hope this isn’t hoax! Possible time line COULD BE PERHAPS SOMETHING LIKE  KH3 (2018) -> VII part 1 (2019 or 2020?) -> VII part 2 (2021 ~ 2023?) -> Kingsglaive game version (2021~2026?) -> Versus (2026~?)
