Isn't that the same team working on Versus....if it is, way too slow down Versus development even more UNLESS it means Versus development is almost finished.

KeybladeMaster4484d ago

Right. I have an idea. Finish Versus XIII first and then start working on other projects. XIII and XIII-2 got the full attention of the entire development team and finished them. Why can't they do the same for Final Fantasy Versus XIII?

Pozzle4484d ago

I hope not. Can't they just focus on FFvsXIII first THEN worry about other projects? This is getting ridiculous!

Godmars2904484d ago

What else do you expect from Square at this point but statements which make them look bad once you have a moment to think about them.

Rainstorm814484d ago

OMG i was hoping for both these titles this year.... Now that looks unlikely

Godmars2904483d ago

Mind you, this could also mean that they've been sitting on the completed Versus all this time waiting to see how 13 and 13-2 sell.

RedDead4483d ago

Not exactly, that team is a large team....Not everyone on it is working on versus, just like not everyone on it was working on XIII and Xiii-2. X is probabably gonna be like Versus's development. It has a lot less to do as well, it's just getting a graphical upgrade and sounds(maybe) Story, design and gameplay is done already

If Nomura is helping than I am sure it is in very capable hands. But still finish Versus XIII first than we will talk Final Fantasy X and future Kingdom Hearts games.

akechi_mitsuhide4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

How about a remake of a final fantasy that doesn't include a pubertic sexually confused teenage protagonist? I have played ff1 on nes down to 13, and anyone of respectableo pinion KNOWS 6 is the best, or maybe 7. To remake 10 is a slap in the face. I'd rather put my di** in a meat grinder, than hear tidus crying for 45 hours.

Megaman_nerd4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

it sounds kind of offensive but I agree. I didn't like FFX that much either. Never liked how Tidus looked like and he was annoying as heck but Wakka was even worse.

I liked Auron and Lulu but they both felt so out of place. Story and antagonist weren't that good either. The ending was shocking though....

Run_bare4483d ago

hahaha.. soo true.. but i still like FF X.

Da One4484d ago

Nomura team is a different team...

LightofDarkness4483d ago

Yes, but they can't complete a game the size of a current gen Final Fantasy title on their own. The 1st Production Team is like a rocket booster, once the design and everything else is nailed down, these guys come in and start creating the content.

Megaman_nerd4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

I don't know why you have disagrees, what you said it's the truth. People around here are so misinformed and then they try to argue and say that they are fans of this and that when they don't even know simple facts like this.

DarkBlood4484d ago

i would like a release date for FF10 HD

Slade4484d ago

all these versus whiny babies..............

The game is in EARLY STAGES............

versus is rumored to be getting released this year during the holidays, so its very deep in dev.

Outside_ofthe_Box4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

.
You're just upset that your beloved FF13 and FF13-2 gets no love from the majority of the fans.

The funny thing is you'll be drooling over versus 13 (despite you complaining about people complaining about FFvs13 taking too long to release) when you finally get the game in your hands which would ironically make you a 'drooling baby.' :D

Outside_ofthe_Box4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

lol what?

I honestly don't know anyone in real life that liked 13. It's only on the internet that I see peeps like you defend it as if you want every FF game after 13 to play like it because it's "soooo great."

How does an average score of 84 indicate that the fans liked the game? That score only reflects what critics "objectively" think the quality of the game is.

~*"I wont jump up and down and I wont hate"*~

Why you lie?
Isn't the statement below hating on versus 13 hopefuls lol?
vvvvvvvvvvv

~*"all these versus whiny babies.............."*~

Slade4483d ago

I know 5 million people that liekd 13. Not hating trolls.

Its only the internet that people hate and troll it. The only place. EVeryone else liked it.

84 reflects it was a solid game.

Razongunz4483d ago

i really liked 13, it is atm my fav game of all time history/graphics wise..but 13 ws also my first FF game so i can't really judge it to be a good or bad FF game, all i know.. i liked it and that why i look forward to 13-2.. but yes after so many ppl saying FF 7 and 10 rocks i belive that they where awesome in their life-span looking forward to versus 13 and 10 to actually see how other FF games are and ofc looking forward to see a continiued story of 13.. i remembered when i got it at launch and finished it.. i was like OMG his needs a sequel..i was begging for a sequel lol i got so hyped when i saw that a 13-2 was in the works, anyway... 13 was my first FF game..and its my fav game atm..havent played any other FF game..and i'm a graphix whore so i guess thats why i loved 13 so much xD

Outside_ofthe_Box4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

@razongunz

That is understandable since it's your first FF.

akechi_mitsuhide4483d ago

Hey slade go wack off to tidus complaining. You have to be like 18 yrs old to get that mad for a joke. Take a chill pill. "The game is in EARLY STAGES............" Wow! You figured that out yourself? -_- Inspector dumbass

Run_bare4483d ago

You probably right, but you can't ignore the fact that Square-Enix is really milking the FF Franchise without listening to their fans.

FF Versus XIII been in development for 6 years.

Outside_ofthe_Box4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

How do you know 5 million people that liked it?
Please don't tell me that you got the number from sales as I and many others bought the game and did not like it.

And since when is not liking a game trolling?

Don't get all upset because you are in the minority when it comes to those that liked FF13 jeez.

A Look Through the Absolute Best PS2 Games of All Time

isarai202d ago

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow202d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga201d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183201d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB201d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo201d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic200d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

Snookies12331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183330d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69330d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

https://thelifestream.net/c...

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name330d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot329d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic331d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129330d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183330d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake331d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183330d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name330d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183330d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
