先來默哀2秒
有特別提到一點,就是公司層級希望XV是一個連續而且完整的故事
「“Quite some time has passed now… After we had switched from Versus to XV, the first decision we made was to make sure that FFXV would have a complete, coherent story in one game. That was an important decision—one made at the company level, too. So I started thinking about how we could get a full, coherent story in a single game. And the crux of that was which elements from Versus we could carry over and which would not fit into the new structure as XV.」
很有可能是這個原因使得劇本有一定程度的更動
可以回去看看2013野村還是監督時他是怎麼說的
所以稍早的劇本中可能是開放式結局或有很多的支線,像VII或XIII那樣有很多的延伸
但現在已經被改寫成一集結束
史黛拉就versus已知設定來說有幾個特徵:
貴族、主要女角、與主角有甜蜜的相遇、站在主角的對立面
這個設定在已更動的XV劇本中很難處理
“We wanted to keep her as a heroine in FFXV’s story, and pursued ways to tie her in to FFXV’s design as well, but we found it increasingly difficult to make sense of Stella’s character and role within FFXV,” Tabata explained. “So then we thought, do we want to recreate Stella with a different role and image, or do we want to start over with a new hreoine? And after a lot of consideration, we decided not to include Stella in FFXV.
當時的構思是要以其他角色與形象重塑史黛拉呢? 或再重新創作新的女主角
再經過種種考量下才決定刪除
個人認為其實其實露娜的設定就是重塑之後的史黛拉(造型推斷
至於為什麼要更動名字,因為名字與角色形象有著密不可分的關係
以拉丁命名來看,露娜是月、史黛拉是星星、諾克特是夜空
月亮對於夜空的涵義和星星對於夜空的涵義應該是有微妙的差異
關於劇本,田畑已經有去問過野島(versus劇本原案)了,是在野島滿意的情況下才做了更動
也盡可能的保留原本劇本中應有的要素
“In the end, we decided to be as faithful as possible to Mr. Nojima’s story for Versus and focus on realizing the original story as much as we could. It goes without saying that I consulted with him on this. And he said that if I valued his original story, then it would still fulfill his vision, even if not every single element he came up with included in the end. So that gave us the confidence to set our goal, which was to create a narrative that utilizes Mr. Nojima’s original story as fully as possible.”
目前已知更動較為明顯的除了史黛拉外就是王都(貌似新宿都市)的橋段有做更改
原因應該是之前的劇本為諾克特在宴會時遭受攻擊
但攻擊時間在新的劇本已被改在諾克特離開王都之後
所以2011宣傳片中,諾克特前往宴會、與史黛拉相遇、和伙伴們一起逃離王都 的橋段應該都刪除了
這個劇本更動是非常重大的決定,田畑說這牽涉到非常核心的因素
“Now, if you have been following info on Versus, you may already know this, but there was a sequence of scenes right after the party where the city is attacked by the enemy forces of Niflheim,” said Tabata. “That sequence has been deleted from FFXV. And there is a good reason behind it.
“Scenes like those had to be regressed because of a very critical factor. So now, the sequence is: Noct and his retinue leave Insomnia, and then… What was it? Then the Niflheim army attacks the crown city. There’s an extremely important reason behind this decision. In fact, it could be construed a spoiler, so I can’t tell you about it here.
大概就是這樣
FINAL FANTASY XV Active Time Report 6.0
這次直播其實已經把很多之前玩家覺得很隱晦的問題都公開了
田畑也一再重申,XV這部作品是建立在versus上,盡可能保留了versus的要素但請把它們視為不同的作品
最後是野島的信
Tabata also shared a brief statement from Nojima about the scenario in which he pondered about the changes to his original script as well as the changes being brought about to it in FFXV.
“As director Tabata just announced, the plot that was developed during the Versus era has served as the basis for the Final Fantasy XV story. I’m sure the story will make many changes as they adapt my draft into a more detailed script, but I believe that the important things I wanted to express will be taken to another level by the XV team. As I express my support, I will be waiting for XV to be completed just like everyone else.”
總之一切都只能等成品出來再來評斷
倒是希望versus的原案能出一本小說,對原本的故事蠻好奇的
versus-XV的開發幾經波折,監督也換人了,希望不會像XII那樣重蹈覆轍
