"Project W:" When Eidos Montreal Was Making the Next Final Fantasy
FOLLOW-UP:
I made a second video about this game, revealing some concept art and further details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9CuT_mOeEs
PCGamesN has asked David Anfossi, studio director of Eidos Montreal, about the video. He said it was well made and funny to watch, and while he can't comment on Project W specifically he says you shouldn't be surprised to hear about game cancellations: https://www.pcgamesn.com/eidos-montreal-final-fantasy-project-w
A tale of over-promising an over-ambitious project that got shot down for only a *few* of the usual reasons.
Special megathanks to Jordan Welty for the animation, whose other works can be found at:
