[Risk Breaker]

Enjoy FFXIII-3 instead.

:/

[MoogleWizard]

Seems like Versus XIII will be Square's true "Final" Fantasy.

It's just crazy, they showed voiced cutscenes and gameplay footage years ago, what is taking so long?

[SafeinSound]

Not uprising. As other people have said TGS.

[Riposte]

I always waited patiently for this..... calming every disappointed fan in the past years, finding excuses for this delays. But now.... SCREW THIS! I thought this will be release a year after FFXIII..... then I said a year isn't enough so maybe Dec 2011 for JP and Spring 2012 for NA, but then FFXIII-2 happened and I said of course they don't want to take the spotlight from this game so maybe a year after it. BUT NOW, I don't think it will be released this holiday season in Japan and earlier next year for NA \ EU...... F**K THIS! How long it's going to take them to show the game at E3? If you want to release the game late 2013 or even earlier 2014 fine by me.... I SWEAR IT'S FINE BY ME, but at less show a freaking new footage from time to time to calm us a little. you can't keep doing this to your fans!!!!! I'M sooooo angry and pissed off that in the FIRST TIME I stopped caring about the game. Screw you.... release this whenever you are going to release it, I'M DONE HYPING MYSELF FOR IT.

Final Fantasy fans need therapy.

No, BBS and DDD both have amazing gameplay systems.

Much better than The Last Story's as far as I can tell.

[GameE]

Im a lil skeptical, EGM is the only place saying this
Itd suck if it wasnt there tho -_-

[ponpo]

It'll be at TGS ~ ~ ~

[TheBaldEmperor]

They still have a few more years to make it out before the 10 year life cycle of the PS3 is over.

[teh_pwn]

No, BBS and DDD both have amazing gameplay systems.

I have no idea what these are. I don't play handhelds.

Back in the late 1990s, we got a new FF every 1.5 years, plus stuff like chrono series, xenogears, mana series.

[Kagari]

Im a lil skeptical, EGM is the only place saying this Itd suck if it wasnt there tho -_-

The email says not to post anything about it (the game line-up)online, that's why no one else really has. As I said in the other thread, I received the same message... it's a list of titles you can view at their booth, see by appointment, etc.

[Aeana]

Im a lil skeptical, EGM is the only place saying this Itd suck if it wasnt there tho -_-

This isn't a surprise. They won't suddenly show it at E3 without showing it in Japan first, most likely at its own event.

[lastinline]

Seems like Versus XIII will be Square's true "Final" Fantasy.

Not if there's Versus XIII-2.

[Lebron]

Based on what? The one trailer shown had great gameplay elements. It was fresh. "Would have sucked anyway" seems like a ignorant statement on something no one on this side of the hemisphere has a lot of information on.

Just going by past history and showings from him and SE. The odds of this sucking far outweigh the chance of it turning out good. But who cares, it's not coming out anyway.

I just want the shimomura soundtrack to be released :(

[faridmon]

Hey, its that game...

[PairOfFilthySocks]

I hope all those delays are not cause multiplat development if so can f'ck squenix.

Multiplat issues would require them to have made something for the PS3 first.

[RoninChaos]

What media IS available for this game? I want to see what the hype is about. The only thing I remember is some dude sitting in a chair looking emo with silver hair.

Was there ever any gameplay footage?

Also, this game not coming out really hammers home how fucked Square Enix's management is. I wonder how much money has been poured down this empty whole. What's the zipper budget?

[RPGCrazied]

What games are they even showing off this E3? That's not edios games.

[Wilsongt]

People actually thought it was going to be at E3? Need that Takei laughing gif.

[Seda]

Im a lil skeptical, EGM is the only place saying this Itd suck if it wasnt there tho -_-

The SE Members Twitter guy basically confirmed this earlier in the week. It's not at E3.

[i-Lo]

At this point, I am inclined to believe that they have shelved the project for next gen systems.

Oh :\
Well
:(

[Aeana]

You shouldn't make sweeping generalizations if you're ignoring over half of a company's output.

[fluffydelusions]

They still have a few more years to make it out before the 10 year life cycle of the PS3 is over.

By then the next Xbox and Wii U will be out and maybe PS4. If that game launches on PS3 with newer consoles out it will make for an epic disaster unless PS4 is BC

[VariantX]

I would love to know how much money has been sunk into this game that at this point.

[BD1]

Well, after Duke Nukem Forever was released, someone had to claim the vapor ware crown.

I don't have any expectation this game is even real at this point.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I wasn't expecting the game to be playable at E3, anyway. I'm still hopeful that this will have a release date set by the end of the year (not actually coming out this year, though).

I have no idea what these are. I don't play handhelds. Back in the late 1990s, we got a new FF every 1.5 years, plus stuff like chrono series, xenogears, mana series.

Well, you only have yourself to blame for that. Birth by Sleep is one of the best games Square has ever put out, regardless of decade or platform. They're still making great games.

[Seda]

What games are they even showing off this E3? That's not edios games.

Hitman: Absolution (360, PS3, PC)
Tomb Raider (360, PS3, PC)
Sleeping Dogs (360, PS3, PC)
Quantum Conundrum (360, PS3, PC)
Heroes of Ruin (3DS)
Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (3DS)

-from IGN and the SE Members twitter basically confirmed this list.

[Neil]

I have no reason to believe this game actually exists.

[Juan29.zapata]

How long did it take Square Enix to release FFXIII after it was shown to the press? That might give us a hint of when it'll be released if we suppose it'll be shown this TGS.

Being optimistic of course.

I love to watch that everytime someone posts it.

Breathe man, seriously. There way more RPGs out there to um...be that err passionate about this no show.

[Psi]

Ha, I remember when I used to care about this game. Now it's just comedy gold to me.

I really am kind of curious as to what in the hell is going on over at SE though.

[Sadist]

Meanwhile in 2020 GAF...

[Cygnus X-1]

What is going to show SE at E3 in the end?

[Riposte]

Hitman: Absolution (360, PS3, PC) Tomb Raider (360, PS3, PC) Sleeping Dogs (360, PS3, PC) Quantum Conundrum (360, PS3, PC) Heroes of Ruin (3DS) Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance (3DS) Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (3DS) -from IGN

Are these are confirmed playable with trailers not listed? It has been heavily implied there will be a FFXIV cg trailer. If that's there, couldn't there be a Versus XIII one?

[nelsonroyale]

Pathetic...and to the SE was my favorite dev at the beginning of this gen because of FF... I havent even bought FFXIII-2...

[BurntPork]

Next-gen swan song.

[SailorDaravon]

The only reason this game's ridiculous delays annoy me is that this is apparently/supposedly (?) preventing KH3 from happening. I'm imagining a world where this game never existed and Kingdom Hearts 3 came out one-two years ago and it makes me sad.

[H_Prestige]

I just thank God for From Software and Dark Souls. They got me my RPG fix and actually provided an all time classic for the ps3. So even if Versus never comes out, it won't be that big a deal.

[Einbroch]

Could be that they're going to save and use it at the Sony conference.

:(

[Takuya]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be a no show, because it won't be named Final Fantasy Versus XIII anymore.

[Forkball]

The Japanese Duke Nukem Forever.

[RPGCrazied]

Hitman: Absolution (360, PS3, PC) Tomb Raider (360, PS3, PC) Sleeping Dogs (360, PS3, PC) Quantum Conundrum (360, PS3, PC) Heroes of Ruin (3DS) Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance (3DS) Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (3DS) -from IGN and the SE Members twitter basically confirmed this list.

No interest in any of those, except maybe Kingdom Hearts 3D, but am not buying a 3DS for one game.

[Kyoufu]

I just thank God for From Software and Dark Souls. They got me my RPG fix and actually provided an all time classic for the ps3. So even if Versus never comes out, it won't be that big a deal.

I remember when we didn't have to settle for just one great RPG. Those were good times.

[charsace]

Did people really think this would show up? And they've been working on the FF13 games for a long time. Yet this one isn't out yet.

Some CG jack-off material from Visual Works, and a "gameplay" trailer that is quite clearly barely above a proof-of-concept level and probably not playable.

[Riposte]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII a Development Project Reborn

I just thank God for From Software and Dark Souls. They got me my RPG fix and actually provided an all time classic for the ps3. So even if Versus never comes out, it won't be that big a deal.

Versus XIII won't play anything like Dark Souls, so you are not missing out.

[Skilletor]

I remember when we didn't have to settle for just one great RPG. Those were good times.

Still good times for people who aren't tied to their TVs. :D

[The Praiseworthy]

BUT....... maybe they are going to show us a trailer? is that possible?

Breathe man, seriously. There way more RPGs out there to um...be that err passionate about this no show.

After Tales of Graces F... what could I get for my PS3?

I want a good JRPG for my PS3, between this never been released and Namco Humiliating us over Tales of Xillia.... the JRPG fan inside me is burning up out of rage.

[teh_pwn]

I just thank God for From Software and Dark Souls. They got me my RPG fix and actually provided an all time classic for the ps3. So even if Versus never comes out, it won't be that big a deal.

Yes. I miss these games. Square used to make a few dark RPGs, like Vagrant Story.

[Kyoufu]

Still good times for people who aren't tied to their TVs. :D

Yep, handhelds are great, but the console situation is pretty dire compared to previous generations.
