/FFXIII-3 announced

10:30 EST, which is the same time the event is taking place in Japan... so yes... XIII-3 or whatever they're calling it.

:(

[Celegus]

Dunno about the rest of GAF, but I'm pretty pumped for XIII-3. The ending of XIII-2 was so so good.

[Seda]

So no chance of Versus news here right?

I really liked that ending too. It was probably my favorite point in either game because of the sense of urgency created. Makes me have some interest in a XIII-3.

[Exentryk]

I want Versus.

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Blah-blah-blah-where-is-Type-0-blah. Pretty cool though.

[Seda]

Oh, great.

I don't know how else to say it.. I'm over SE this gen.

Of course not, why would they show Versus here before Japan when it's a Nomura project...

[Seda]

Sorry, I meant at the simultaneous Japan event, of course not exclusively at this one

[ULTROS!]

FFX HD pls.

Hey... What if FFXV is being directed by Toriyama. :P

[Seda]

FFX HD pls. Hey... What if FFXV is being directed by Toriyama. :P

[_Keiichi_]

No CG trailer of something? I'm surprised, Square-Enix.

[Exentryk]

FFX-HD, Type-0 and Versus won't be at this event. This is all about Lightning and Toriyama >_>

TGS should have Type-0 and Versus though.

... through our new online store!

[Rpgmonkey]

I'm cool with more XIII-2/XIII-3 stuff, but I really wish there some kind of progress on the Type-0 situation. :/

What do you think the chances are that they release it on Vita through PSN?

[Recall]

I have zero problem with a XIII-3. Played the shit out of both XIII and XIII-2, I would gladly enjoy more.

[Celegus]

I really liked that ending too. It was probably my favorite point in either game because of the sense of urgency created. Makes me have some interest in a XIII-3.

Exactly. The way they played it up and then just took a giant left turn... I might have been expecting something like that from Square back in the day or a Persona game, but I honestly did not see that coming at all from present-day Squenix.

[Seven Force]

Hey... What if FFXV is being directed by Toriyama. :P

Don't even joke about that. :|

[HamPster PamPster]

You're all fooling yourselves if you think FF XIII-3 in coming

They need to announce at least two handheld spin-offs first

[RPGCrazied]

Loved XIII-2, can't say I'm all that interested in XIII-3. I'm so over the universe and set of characters.

[Exentryk]

You're all fooling yourselves if you think FF XIII-3 in coming They need to announce at least two handheld spin-offs first

It does seem strange that they've been calling it the next in the Lightning Saga. Kind of feels like it may be something other than the predictable console XIII-3.

[Kagari]

Sorry, I meant at the simultaneous Japan event, of course not exclusively at this one

Ah... well, probably not there either :(

[Jarnet87]

Dunno about the rest of GAF, but I'm pretty pumped for XIII-3. The ending of XIII-2 was so so good.

I'm pumped I'll never have to spend another dime on the FF franchise since they have no plans of fixing the series.

[raven777]

Is there any chance they reveal anything new about versus in august 31 event??

[miladesn]

they surely have FFXII HD on those "playable units", right?!

Hey... What if FFXV is being directed by Toriyama. :P

and it's Lightning story still, YES ...

[RPGCrazied]

I'm more interested in the Final Fantasy X HD at this point. :) Think they will finally share some stuff then?

[Pranay_]

they surely have FFXII HD on those "playable units", right?!

FF X and XII HD Collection announced for PS3/Vita cross buy >_<

[Exentryk]

Is there any chance they reveal anything new about versus in august 31 event??

They might make an announcement of an announcement at TGS.

[DigitalDevil]

FF X and XII HD Collection announced for PS3/Vita cross buy >_<

Final Fantasy XII with local Co-OP. I'd buy that for a dollar.

[Macstorm]

FFX HD pls. Hey... What if FFXV is being directed by Toriyama. :P

Please don't even joke about that. :(

[raven777]

They might make an announcement of an announcement at TGS.

right now, I would be happy with just that.

[ULTROS!]

Will there be a live stream?

[show me your skeleton]

FF X and XII HD Collection announced for PS3/Vita cross buy >_<

that of all things, would cause me to buy a ps3. odd how my brain works.

[Perfo]

10:30 EST, which is the same time the event is taking place in Japan... so yes... XIII-3 or whatever they're calling it.

This is pretty great, Square Enix is really becoming an international company right now. An announcement at the same time in different parts of the world? Fuck yes.

[Chacranajxy]

Wow, what a great celebration:

"YOU CAN PLAY THE FINAL FANTASY GAMES YOU ALREADY OWN, IN PUBLIC, FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOU ARE ASKED TO LEAVE."

[Mario007]

They really have to speak about FF X HD. To be honest that game can easily sell as many copies as FFXIII-3 and will require much lesser investment.

While they're at it a mention of Type-0 would be very nice.

[Trogdor1123]

So more games that we dont want that they seem to think we do?

[Perfo]

You're all fooling yourselves if you think FF XIII-3 in coming They need to announce at least two handheld spin-offs first

That could be it actually, or maybe just releasing XIII-3 in a kinda different way (that is through an episodic structure released from time to time DD). I remember Kitase way back saying that they're planning something different for the next XIII, so I thought this may be it. Afterall, XIII's series always wanted to be a serial-series.

[diamount]

/FFXIII-3 announced

Didn't that bomb? I doubt they'll announce another one. Looked like the DA2 of Final Fantasy.

[Kagari]

This is pretty great, Square Enix is really becoming an international company right now. An announcement at the same time in different parts of the world? Fuck yes.

Psst. They did the same thing for XIII-2... actually they've done this for years.

[Legium2k]

Wow, what a great celebration: "YOU CAN PLAY THE FINAL FANTASY GAMES YOU ALREADY OWN, IN PUBLIC, FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOU ARE ASKED TO LEAVE."

"And maybe watch some trailers you already know"

[Zoe]

Didn't that bomb? I doubt they'll announce another one. Looked like the DA2 of Final Fantasy.

They get cheaper to produce with each iteration.

[rokusasuXIII]

FFX-HD, Type-0 and Versus won't be at this event. This is all about Lightning and Toriyama >_> TGS should have Type-0 and Versus though.

this would be really nice.. I hope to see those games at TGS in some form.

[Cornbread78]

Final Fantasy XII with local Co-OP. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Why stop at 2 player co-opp, they can make it 4 player co-opp, MMO style and mission based if they wanted to and it would be awesome....

[Meccanical]

Oh joy.

[Roto13]

I got distracted from XIII-2 but I like what I've played and I'd probably be ok with XIII-3. XIII-2 is basically the handful of good things about XIII without the ridiculous linearity.
