Until somebody whips out their cell phone and starts recording, the only way we’ll get to understand what happens in the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII is by summary. Here we have it.
The Versus XIII trailer is basically the post-E3 gameplay images in motion. During one point in the video, we see Noctis running around a wasteland, presumably the one from the images. Then, after arriving at a city reminiscent of Shinjuku, he fights a large Behemoth. Apparently, the quality of gameplay is so high that it’s hard to believe players can actually control what’s being done on screen.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Sadly everyone who went to the Tokyo Game Show doesn't own a cell phone and don't know what a cell phone is. Why is SE the only company that practices this? every other company shows their trailers TO THE PUBLIC.
SE even said they would MAKE SURE that FFvs13's trailer will be available for the PUBLIC TO SEE! but that all turned out to be a BIG FAT LIE!
Same old SE always lying and hiding from the public.

Maaan...
Closed Theater for the lose. >: (

From the article:
"The whole clip is being described as both “very fantastic” but “very realistic” at the same time, by Famitsu, at least."

Looking forward for the leaked / official trailer then...
why are square enix teasing so much?
....Didn't they say the trailer would be open to the public?
What's the big secret then? It's about damn time we have a new trailer already. Why do I have bad feelings about this?
