LOL! How the fuck is it nonsense and based on nothing? Take your blind fanboy head out of your ass, yo. Tabata has outright said he's edited the script to remove all l'Cie mentions. Therefore, the original script Nomura wanted to present that was rich in the mythos terms has already been changed. Please read the following quote and educate yourself.

Honestly, I'm tired of the blind optimism bullshit so many of you FFXV anticipators have got. If any of you really cared about Nomura's original vision for the game, you'd be criticising the current form of FFXV, not praising it.
We're all tired of your harsh attitude for other people's optimism, and tired of your optimism for a game that hasn't even been announced (FFXVI) and fanboyism over XII.
The l'Cie weren't even supposed to be mentioned in XV to begin with.
The game's lore was drawn from the mythology of the
Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries, which also includes
Final Fantasy XIII and
Final Fantasy Type-0, the games announced alongside
XV in 2006.
[12][29] According to Yoshinori Kitase, the mythos was used as a "backdrop and a starting point" for the story, but had no other connections to the other games in the subseries.[37] Nomura chose not to use many of the terms within the mythos, such as "l'Cie" and "fal'Cie", instead opting to use the concept behind them and refer to the terms far less or not at all due to the game's modern setting.[46]
I never once cared about the FNC mythos with this game, so whether it was supposed to be in or not doesn't affect me in any way, but I'm glad it's not in, because I don't see the need for its inclusion.
Also, you keep mentioning how much Tabata must have changed the story, but we don't even know any of the story of what was supposed to be included, so realistically what has changed from our point of view even if something was altered?
The battle system has changed, which I'm in complete favor of, details I won't include here for the sake of brevity.
Only being able to control Noctis is one of the biggest announced changes, something that doesn't affect me in any way, as it doesn't really appeal to me. Kingdom Hearts never had this functionality, and it wasn't desirable there either... mainly because Sora was powerful as shit and your party members weren't, so there's no reason to change... which is exactly how XV is, Noctis can warp and do crazy shit with his weapons, something that other party members can't, so I don't really care to control them. Some people want this feature though, as they see it as an important aspect to a Final Fantasy game.
You have mentioned Cor, again no where has it been said Cor will not be a party member, so speculating about this is pointless. People bring up the fact that Tabata mentions the car being the "5th party member" somehow meaning Cor is now excluded... what if Cor is then the 6th party member...? You do realize that Cor most definitely won't be in the party from the start of the game, given his role in the Lucis Kingdom likely similar to a personal bodyguard for Regis being one of the strongest fighters in the entire Kingdom, it's likely his involvement with the party won't come until sometime after the Niflheim invasion.
I'm excited for a game about the crystals again, I like the character dynamic, I like the battle system as presented, I like the "open" world. I have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about this game. You have NO reason or right to come in here shitting on people for being optimistic.
No one here appreciates you bashing fans of this game like this. Does it really matter if our "fanboyism reeks" or not? Why should we care how you feel about our optimism, especially if you're just going to shit on us?
It's clear to me now how you got your reputation on GameFAQs if the manner in which you conduct yourself here has anything to do with it.
