Ready For Final Fantasy Versus XIII In The Coming Months?.

While Final Fantasy XIII-2 still in development and getting closer to the release date many gamers are wondering if there ever will be any new information about Final Fantasy versus XIII anytime soon.

[Majin-vegeta]

I just want a release date and for it to stay exclusive cuz we all saw what happen to FF13 when it went multi it got butchered-____-.

@below same here after that god awful mess that was FF13 this is their last chance to redeem themselves to me.

[sosdante]

It has to be exclusive to PS3 if its not then i will hate square Enix forever

[RedDead]

Sad fanboy^^^

I hope it stays exclusive, so it comes out quicker.

Edit---Yes, the 360 messed up FFXiii just like it messed up Skyrim and Mass effect. It's not that FFXiii was just ****

[DigitalAnalog]

That is a poor example right there. Both Skyrim and Mass Effect are either developed simultaneously (multi-plat wise) or exclusive.

Meanwhile, radical changes has been made to FFXIII due to the fact that the exclusive White Engine has to be taken down in favor of the Crystal Tools due to it's incompatibility to the 360. Big difference there.

@DigitalAnalog

while I agree, the thing is we know nothing about the development of the game or even know how far the engine has gotten for nearly a year now since the last update. A lot can happen in that time. I'm not saying that it going Multiplat, but don't be surprised if Square E. does do it.

God this game should have been done ages ago.

also FF13 was a bad game because the developers made it bad. I hear complaints about the gameplay the most. Do you guys really think the gameplay got gimped or trashed because a 360 version was releasing? Sure we can say that graphics and maybe the extra content was all due to the 360, but story and gameplay was all square doing not the 360.

Technical advances, the 360 made it gimped I guess. But Like I said Story and gameplay all done by square and no change in the engine is going to make them change that up.

[Pozzle]

I don't know...a lot of people say the 360 is the reason why FFXIII was so bad, but IMO there were a lot of bad design choices that Square gave the game too. IMO a dev should be able to make a great game, regardless of whether it's a multiplat title or not.

[maniacmayhem]

Unbelievable!

There have been many many articles that proved 360 had NOTHING to do with any design or gameplay choices the team went with FF.

Go look up some articles where the producer even said the design of the game was final.

I can't believe some people still think this way.

[WhiteLightning]

@maniacmayhem

For god sake...face it

The 360 is the reason why a sequel is coming out......left over content used as a template for the sequel. It might of not been the main reason why it was bad, but it didn't help...I can't believe people think this way

[maniacmayhem]

@white lightning

Left over content used as a template for the sequel?

Where did you here this nonsense? Seriously, where is this mentioned? And why is it the 360's fault?

I love how blame is placed on a game system because that game didn't live up to some people's expectations.

I would like to know your reasons for this tho.

@maniacmayhem -
Listen... It's common sense by now!

Here's an interview with the art director of FFXIII, Isamu Kamikokuryou.

http://kotaku.com/5446974/i...

In it, he CLEARLY states (and this was before FFXIII-2 was even announced) that a lot of content was cut.

Just to save you the trouble, here's the important bit.

"...a substantial amount of these locations THAT WERE ALREADY RUNNING on actual development hardware ended up on the cutting room floor. How many locations? "More than enough to make another one [game]", says the art director."

...And then what? The FFXIII-2 announcement.
They can claim as many times as they want that this new stuff they're doing ISN'T rehashed, but I'm not buying it, both figuratively and literally speaking!
They won't take me for a fool, goddammit!

My money is on Versus XIII... That's Square's only chance of redeeming themselves!
With a lot of the team members from FF7, 8, 9, 10 and Kingdom Hearts 1, 2... I'm going all in here!
Oh, and -
PS3 exclusivity of course, for quality assurance! :)

[stonecold3]

i trust nomura to keep it excluisve on ps3 it s to late for a 360 port .last we heard it already went into full production cant wait thought but will be worth it in the end?

[gintoki777]

yea watch 3 months from now.Nomura: I am proud to announce that Final Fantasy versus 13 will be released in the summer of 2012 and it will be released exclusively on the Xbox 360" and everybody will be confused

[gintoki777]

If square enix got offered enough money they would.

[Lovable]

I'm ready, bring it on!

[josephayal]

im ready for the XBOX 360 version

[Majin-vegeta]

This is all i have to say lol.

[darfreeze]

I'm ready since 2006.

[sosdante]

The big question is, will it ever come out

[Inception]

It's about God damn time!!!!!!
5 fuckin years square, 5 fuckinnnn yearsssssss -_-
how long they want to develope this game anyway?!

[Hicken]

Announcing that you're going to make a game isn't the same as beginning development on it. It'd be really nice if people could understand the difference.

[Inception]

Lol, it's silly if they announced the game but not workin on it asap. And they announced it with an amazing CG trailer that i believed they already workin on the development (concept of world, chars, etc) long before they announced the game.

Also, versus had it's own dev team separated from XIII and Type-0. So, in my logic, they don't had any problem that other team will interfere with versus project.

Besides, SE can made a sequel for XIII in one and a half years. That fuckin short if we compare it with versus development -_-

[Hicken]

Why not officially announce a game you know you're going to make anyway? Who DIDN'T know they'd be making these games? I expect that FFXVI and XVII are at LEAST being conceptualized from the standpoint of story and characters. Don't bring up amazing CG trailers; they mean nothing. They mean as much as the HD FFVII tech demo from years back.

Yes, Versus DOES have its own development team, separate from Type-0 and XIII. But do you think those are the only games Square-Enix is working on? There are ten games announced to be at Jump Festa this year; XIII-2 is only one of them. Would you guess that they have more games in development, or more development teams?

I'll give you a hint: they produce and develop multiple titles for every system, from smartphones to handhelds to consoles to PC, but only a few at a time come out.

[tweet75]

as long as the reviews say it is better than final fantasy vii in every way than i will get it

[Furesis]

i don't eaven know what to say just finish the game soon please

[BigDollarZoe954]

So Ready Tetsuya Nomura is a great Director and when Its Released Game Of The Year Hands Down when ever it comes out in my Opinion

[sosdante]

Yup same here, Its going to be million times better then 13 and 13-2

[HeavenlySnipes]

Don't get your hopes up. Not saying it will be bad, but having high expectations usually results in disappointment

[BigDollarZoe954]

Nomura doesnt disappoint my friend but your right though

[iWishTifaWasReal]

hell yeah, im ready to get it this 2012. if its not coming in 2012. ill just move on and forget about the game because I AM SICK OF WAITING FOR THIS GAME SINCE 06 -,-

and if they say that the game got delayed cuz they had to port it to 360 i will never buy another Square Enix game

[TheHardware]

Lets see if the review sites give this game a pass, or if they knit pick at it like they did GT5 or its long development time

ohh and 13 was crap

[tiffac008]

Bring it on already! D:

[zerocrossing]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is Squenix chance to redeem themselves, just give us a release date and some hard facts already D:
