At Square-Enix's fiscal meeting they candidly mentioned the White Engine development is moving at a sluggish pace. However, they are not abandoning creating their in house engine. Since the engine is the backbone for Final Fantasy XIII it seems likely that the Playstation 3 game will be further delayed. Square-Enix did not mention a date for Final Fantasy XIII (maybe now 2009?) or Dragon Quest IX, which was originally slated to come out this year.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."
FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.
I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.
I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.
i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.
i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.
but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.
but i like 13-2 more :)
i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy
XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!
I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.
Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5
Square Enix Blog: "How do you compose iconic songs that help define a legacy? We speak to legendary composer Masashi Hamauzu about his work on Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, and how to make unforgettable music."
Ah the White engine. That engine that runs cross platform. So it has problems on the PS3 and probably delay of FFXIII to 2009? Ouch. That must hurt, another big title delayed again.
Ah well, now they have the time to get the game on the 360 and release it at the same time with the PS3 version. Nice work Square Enix!
isnt DQ IX supposed to be on the DS?
That even you believe the crap that comes outta your mouth. Well the crap that you type on the screen. Regardless of when it comes out it will never be on 360. Square Enix is giving 360 gamers love with Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remant multi-plat. Be happy about that. I wish morons like you can get a decent job so you can afford both consoles and be a true gamer not a trolling loser that wants everything on Sony to come to 360. Get a job buy both like me and its win-win. I bet your glad you get Uncharted on 360 also @.@
really i feel bad for ps3 fans plz atleast buy a 360 so u can play other games i know u guy feel ps3 games are amazing but when cod4 is 1 of the best games on the ps3 and is multipklaform u shud think maybe getting a 360 andd having a ps3 is a good idea and maybe if u had boh u wont bash 360 so much get a 360 and play games right nopw i8 bet if any sony fan got a 360 now the amoutn of games h wud get the backlog is amazing u will have so many gams to play from now till 2009
how can FFXIII can delayed if it never had a release date?
