Last time we saw Versus, it looked like Final Fantasy: Kingdom Hearts style. Switching away from that would explain the delays.

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Weird rumors to be honest. The first poster's rumors are so vague they could really mean anything, and the second's are almost too specific. Plus, that second poster seems so spiteful towards Kagari. Could be a banned Gaffer just trying to stir up shit for all we know.
And this is exactly why the thread should be locked.

Were'nt you the one hinting that Versus would be shown at the PS4 reveal?

Hahaha, woah, shots fired everywhere in this thread.

Anyways, it would be very interesting if the information posted by those folks turn out to be true. You never know eh? Who knows, they may actually be someone who knows/are involved in the projects. I am not going to be so quickly dismissing them just because they chose to post in GameFAQs.

Know why? Cause they were considering a trailer and backed out at the last minute. I don't care if that's not believable, because that's what happened.

Instead we go an uncomfortable as hell "PLS BE EXCITE" routine.

I can say with absolute confidence that Kagari knows wtf she is talkin' about.

I'm not taking sides or nothing but what if he says is true?

I will bookmark this thread for the lulz

Nobody here knows anything concrete I'd wager, some people have snippets, most will be under NDAs. Even then i bet the info isn't all that noteworthy. Obviously Square know where things are at, but until E3 at the earliest we won't know what their future plans are.

These are the facts.

I would just think that if SE did have something of note to reveal about Versus, they would have done so as opposed to letting this shit-storm continue unnecessarily.

That's plausible.

Now explain FFX HD's delay and the source's rumored release this summer.

Ah, so they were originally planning to show a trailer but backed out? T_T at Square.

I can believe it. The non announcement had a lot of build up for pretty much nothing.

edit: wait- does that mean that versus is actually a PS4 game? there was a poster that did a drive by through one of the old orbis threads and SWORE this was the case.

Why would they do that?

There are two different arguments here and I feel like you're joining the two. Whether you have confidence about what Kagari talks about is dissociated from your prediction of Versus showing up at the PS4 conference.

As for them backing out of a trailer I can see that this is a possibility you haven't really proven that it indeed happened.

Why would they do that?

Cuz it wasn't ready? lol.

Honestly? No idea. But it's clear it was made at the last second. The poor guy didn't know if they were supposed to roll the tape or just improvise some shit.

Only thing certain...something went wrong.
So was the "wait for E3!" bit improvised?

I can believe him on that since Kagari posted similar stuff in the past about them planning to showing the game at E3s/TGSs and then backing out of those as well.

Well, I don't think he is a liar/troll, I am just wondering what would be some justification as to not show it at the last minute. You would think an event like the PS4 reveal would have its ducks in a row.

I did wondered if something like this had happened, it was just such a weird thing to present Hashimoto the way they did only to have him say 'wait for E3, then again they've been acting weird/crazy for a while, so I figured it was that.

Lords of Arcana and Army Corpse of Hell (published I guess) says hello to the bullshit about Vita there... even FF-X makes this looks like bullshit.

Not believing a word from this.

Maybe they thought more people would be watching an E3 conference than the PS Meeting?

It's a definite possibility. While I'm not sure if this was the case for Versus I'm confident that this was the case for FF15. My guess was that the CG trailer for 15 wasn't ready in time for the PS4 conference but since SE said they'll be there they just made an announcement of an announcement. Whether this is true or not, we'll never know.

It was an extremely important conference dedicated SOLELY for the PS4. It had important people attending attending for the unveiling of the next gen console. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case.

I absolutely believe it was. Showing the Agni's Philosophy trailer in place of Versus was 100% obvious to me, so that's why instead of announcing details of the release of Versus after the trailer...he just sort of mumbled things.

I can actually believe that. I've been critical of you before, but Hashimoto's uncomfortable look was really the look of a last minute change.

yeah, why fly Elder Hashimoto out there just to say "Please be excited" in bad English?
The entire ending to SE's presentation seemed really off.

That's why I believe you that something else was initially planned to be shown.

the PS4 hardware was in a serious state of flux leading up to the conference. if versus is now a PS4 game, it simply could not have been in a good enough state to show- especially if it wasn't as polished as some of the other demos (deep down) getting shown.

I think this whole thing is a smokescreen. Kaz will walk on stage at E3 wearing a Noctis wig and announce Versus as a PS4 exclusive.
 
SE is not gonna release 3 FF titles in four months, that would go against the way they have been planning their major releases for years, also goes against common sense.

Also they don't have plans for Versus localization at this point? I refuse to believe a company can be this stupid.

Edit: Kagari is doing what she has to do: refuse to enter into a stupid forum fight.

Hm, some of this sounds good except the Vita news & the action/atb switched in Versus but I won't be excited, SE. I'll only be excited when I see it. in my hands. yeah.

This isn't an uncommon thought. We've discussed this before in the PS4 SE thread. It's not like this theory is anything revolutionary or new.

Honestly just relaying the confusion I heard from some of those a bit 'upper' from the conference. Those higher level people expected to see Versus and then said to me "what the fuck just happened."

I don't want any kind of credit or fame here. I just wanna know what happened as a gamer as well.

Yes of course. A noob on Gamefaqs of all the places has THE insider info on one of the most secretive and sought after games in recent memory with airtight NDAs in place. It makes perfect sense.

All nice and all but we will see next month how much credibility there is to all this. IF LR starts to be heavily promoted as he said, I will give the game some credit. We will know for sure at E3 regardless.
 
I remember portrait of ruin from gamesfaqs. The last teast of the 1999 game and the 3d game ... :'(

She was right on every castlevania since por and before the new western castlevania .....

Game FAQs may be TRUE imo

One thing I'm certain is they fully know the consequences of playing a last year's trailer on a conference about the next generation. If what you said is true, they chose that to Versus, for whatever reason. Probably bad.

You know, I was playing Chrono Cross the other day and it reminded me of how awesome Squaresoft use to be. :(

SE portable titles have been great. Their consoles titles have been, well, shit. I'm sure we'll see Versus announced as a Nintendo Wii/PSOne title, coming out 2020.

This new guys information conflicts with the previous guys info (the Versus XIII not being considered for localization thing) so even if he is legit, he didn't really read "Aryllies"'s post properly then.

Anyway, I won't give this guy anymore thought unless we hear about FFXHD coming out before June... if that happens then I'll believe him but until then, nope.

It's because SE has truckload of cash lying around so they fly their final fantasy head to US just to say "Please be vewy excited!" Dude probably flew first-class too and did cocaine on the way. This is what happens when you fuckers keep buying Lightning crap.

Square just needs to cut their losses on VS13 and move on to FF15. So sick of waiting.

Just kill it. Burn it. Bury it. Or release it. This purgatory of information is tiring.

Playing Agni's trailer was perfectly fine. Epic showed the same Unreal 4 trailer and nothing else and no gave a shit.

People troll SQEX for no reason a lot of the time.
