It's actually insulting to be told it's a mere 'typo'. There is no way the name Versus XIII can be accidentally changed to XV, since there is no reason to believe that XV even exists.
 
When they re-reveal the game at E3 it's gonna be like this:

Final Fantasy Versus XIII appears on the screen.

Then the X will move to the left of the V.

Then everything after the V fades away leaving Final Fantasy XV.

$120 million is insane even for an AAA game, as for the account bet ban how do we know if this is true in the end? Not trying to discredit the source but I'm curious about checking the facts if this game does get released.

I actually can totally see this happening.

I approve, no need to link it with the XIII trilogy.

Typo from "Versus XIII" to "15"?

oh man, this is sounding too satisfying... what have you done!

It becoming a PS4 exclusive though is the only right move though. After issuing such a big promise for the PS3, its only right to turn around and deliver the most incredibly realized first-wave exclusive launch game that the world has ever seen.

Maybe they thought 'this isn't XIII or XIV and it's new, so it must be 15!"

But really it seems like 'oh shit we fucked up, let's try to cover it up'. Always approved of Versus becoming XV.

My issue with Versus being FF15, is that I wonder if SE would allow to have their main titled FF games to be rated 17+/ 18+ or the like. If VXIII was indeed renamed XV, is it possible that some of the original decisions behind the game were changed? Not only to lower the score (removal of the blood?), but also to soften up the transition from turn-based to action-combat?

A side FF game featuring an evolution of KH's combat system is one thing, but a main FF game suddenly featuring that KH's battle system is another. There are many different kinds of action RPGs. Lightning Return's combat system, even though it's action-based, is a "natural evolution" of the old turn-based combat. KH's combat is a bit ditached from that, even though it has a "command menu".

Assuming the game is current gen, Square are going to ignore a market of 77m? If the game is next gen, The Xbox brand is only going to get bigger, if they ignore that then they're incredibly stupid.

Can you give me the numbers for the lotto?

FFXV is gonna be Ps4 exclusive, ready for future crow eating.
 
Launch window for next-gen consoles? Please, Please, PLEASE!!!

Though I don't want a mainline FF playing like Kingdom Hearts, that definitely needs to change.

T rated games have blood.

The point is that they wrote '15' in numbers, not XV in roman numerals. It definitely wasn't a typo in the common sense of the word.

Now it remains to see if they changed that knowing what they were talking about or if they took it straight out of where the sun doesn't shine.
In which case all this wouldn't mean nothing...

you forget that they made two MMOs as main titles, plus heavily experimented with 12 and 13

Test post. About to post info.

OK there we go. Sorry Im on a phone and I thought the thread was locked for some odd reason. Anyway, I can reveal the following info and Im doing it in public now.

I am being told game is NOT being called FF15. Yes it is PS4 exclusive. The budget has surpassed 120 million at this point and Square is not allowing anymore funding. Game will have massive unveiling before E3 with cryptic marketing blitz to follow. Talk of ARG starting soon. Various vehicles for characters that can upgraded and altered for battle. Very dark and mature themes. Themes or betrayal, retribution, and sacrifice for the greater good, with many gray areas and the journey to understand the ramifications of good and evil as philosophical concepts. Is thethe biggest, most ambitious FF of all time with very the mature themes such as forced conception and specifically attacks world religions in a metaphorical sense.

Will have more info soon. Account ban bet on all info above. See you soon.

Apologize for terrible grammar and formatting. Phone posts are impossible.
To give you an idea about how credible Zeal is (I really didn't want to do this, but he isn't helping himself):

See this post below he makes on 28th January 2013:

Verendus, you just made my fucking day bro. VERSUS ON NEXT GEN, BABY!! I knew it. Called it months ago.

I would give you a nice bear hug right about. The sleeping fantasy awakens!
After that, I sent him a little PM on the 31st January 2013 with a very small amount of information, the exchange is below:

AhBcl7q.png


As should be apparent from the exchange (our only exchange), he has no insider information, or any sources in particular. The only information he has, is what I gave him, and even that information (which amounts to next to nothing) wasn't entirely correct, as there's no reason for me to trust him not posting it anywhere else. A good thing, because he started posting/hinting that information subsequent to my PM to him.

He knew nothing one day, to knowing lots of different things the next and started hinting them on GAF. All from that one tiny PM.

The reason why I know he has no other sources is because the mod he says PMed him is a mod I spoke with. I don't believe that mod has given him any information either. Zeal was posting and hinting at a "Versus XIII" reveal at the PS Meeting, and the mod in question knew there wouldn't be a reveal of the game at that event weeks before (I know since I told them). After it didn't show, Zeal was making excuses that there was a last minute change, and now he's come out with this glorious piece of information. All of which is basically nonsense and guess work. He keeps betting his account for a ban to make people take him seriously too.

I'm posting this because I kind of feel sorry seeing as he's blatantly deceiving folks by making things up.

Yeah, if Square Enix puts Final Fantasy XV on the new Xbox console they'll be shooting themselves in the foot. I don't know if you're familiar with Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but....

Was it a terrible idea making FFX ps2 exclusive?
Considering the alternatives (GCN or Xbox1) it was the most sound decision.

In 2013? Not so much there are too many Xbox gamers in the west. If they want to ignore them and focus on one platform, that'll be their prerogative, and just dumb, oh well.

Are you joking or just insane? The market is segmented too much for exclusivuty to be viable. That's just too much money left on the table.

In America it certainly is, but it seems 360 versions of Japanese releases are pretty poor. I think at the very least for North America they will continue to release it multiplat.

Especially since next-gen the console architecture is insanely similar, it would likely be quite cheap to move it over. Unless there is going to be some mandatory Kinect support or something.

Verendus, I am not going to deny the fact that you were one of the first people to send a certain mod and I various 'insider' information regarding Versus, but your information was later refuted by an actual member of the Visual Works department who I have known for many years now and used to actually go by a very famous online handle a while back.

The fact that you have reached to the point of trying to screen cap and share private messages at this point to regain some form of credibility is getting pretty pathetic, dude.

Yes you contacted me with 'insider info', NO the info did NOT turn out to be accurate, and YES you are butthurt that no one is acknowledging it.

To be honest, I'm amazed you aren't posting this bullshit over GameFaqs at this point.

Makes no difference to me. Posing as an "insider" and joking about it isn't helpful to anyone. There are many who will be taking his nonsense at face value.
Hmm, well, at the risk of sounding indiscreet, I've got to read over at GFaqs you got banned here for doing the same as Zeal. Is that true? You can PM me if you want.
 
He didn't seem to be joking. Isn't this behavior of telling people you've got inside sources and telling them bullshit because it's false banable ?

edit: alright, I'm not getting fooled anymore. I'm not trusting any of you motherfuckers except for Kagari. Stop toying with my feelings, Gaf !

The alternative would be to make it for ps1.

And there are actually zero 720 gamers in the west right now. People are assuming way too much about that system. The 360 didn't even sell that many copies of FF this gen.

Nothing to do with me. It makes no difference if people believe me, but you constantly lying isn't helping anyone. Feel free to tell us all of this non-existent person you know.

I was banned for calling Pikmin 3 a destructo disc. An excessive sarcasm post taken too far. Also, I don't know why you'd believe something at another forum as to why I was banned. Do GAF mods post there?

He has already been banned at GameFaqs for the same bullshit.
Except the only forum I'm part of is NeoGAF.

Keep digging that hole for youself though. The more you say, the more apparent it is.

Isn't outing your source like that a bad idea?

I wouldn't have said jack shit if the VE department didn't contain a large group of people with twitters, blogs, etc.

Anyway, whatever I have dropped in this thread will be proven pretty soon at this point. I don't care about any credit either, but my account will still be here.

I take it you are expecting the PS2 gen to be repeated then?
 
I guess this speaks volume of how attached to this game fans are. Any other games with this kind of Duke Nukem Forever-like production would get ridiculed at this point.

Why is it called Versus XIII anyway? It doesn't use the same characters or world. I'm fine with it being renamed to XV, long as it releases. Since we waited so long, it should worldwide release this holiday.

This is an opposing game to Final Fantasy XIII, hence the name. It's supposedly going to be a darker and more gritty game when compared to the lighter and more vibrant world in XIII. The game takes place in the same world, but the settings and characters are all new and unrelated to FF XIII, despite preceding information which suggested players would be taking the roles of characters antagonistic to the heroes from XIII. The main character is a prince, and the empire in which he serves is the last of its kind and remains the resting place of the final crystal, whatever that is.

I wasn't believing in it, that's why I've asked.

In general it's good to be skeptical about everything.

If someone makes a claim and it ends up being legit, can always give them more credibility in the future, but still, better to be skeptical.

My sources tell me the game will retail at 59.99 and have a collector's edition for a few bucks more.

They better reveal stuff at E3. For the sake of our collective mental health.
