Didn't they pretty much say from the start XIII, Versus, and (when it was Agito) Type-0 were not based in the same Universe? Just shared some kinda common mythology or something.

What does this even mean?
It means they all use L'Cie/Fal'Cie stuff, but they don't take place in the same world.

Speaking of Type-0, I wonder if it'll finally be at E3? At this point they have to have moved to a new platform for it though (3DS, Vita, HD Remaster) for a viable western release.
.Type-0 is wonderful and I hope other people get to play it soon.
Honestly, this is EXACTLY what I'm expecting from E3 if we get anything at all... same exact thing... or at TGS. (Maybe with a release date instead of the conference date.)

Square needs to stop being so secretive about Versus. Unless it's undergoing some sort of major overhaul or something, it's unnecessary.
At least release a new screenshot every month, just to show us the game is still alive. Or force Nomura to open a Twitter account so we can read updates about how he is *hypothetical* "Working on a cool new feature for Versus today!"
If it's not at least at TGS then I'm done... never buying anything Sony at launch every again, that's for sure.

Yeah, this is what I think they should do -- release some new information every month to keep fans interested and excited. I don't think being silent is the right way to go about it. Nomura even said that he had some interesting info but he couldn't share it with people in some interview. I can't find that GAF thread, but it's really annoying.

I secretly hope they follow up Jaffey's lie last year by having Nomura walk out on stage in an Armani suit as somnus plays.
"As for [game], expect some details soon."

Only to tell everyone the game has been cancelled.
I thought it would be a good idea at the time (2006?), because I imagined it as an FF Crystal Chronicles kind of thing. However, this is really not what I had in mind, and although I like the lore well enough, I really want to bury XIII.
So I'm left wondering what the hell SE's deal is.

I don't know what's been funnier, watching the development of this game or Last Guardian? Heck, I think the occasional person hinting at "AGENT" is the funniest now that I think about it...

He should follow Kamiya example:"Next week on game magazine".
Every week until the games finally

And then go silent until next year again?I'm afraid no one will care by then with all the next gen games coming out.
It would only really be a lie if Square Enix had actually said "We're not showing FF Versus XIII at E3." Not that I expect them to show the game, but this whole story being based off the game not being on an email is just as silly.
This was *NEVER* a game-changer OR flagship title.

Wonder what the budget for this is now?
Which is a bigger concern. Six years on a spin-off is overkill. SE has to change it to FF15.

"Please look forward to it."
Agreed wholeheartedly.

Welcome to jRPG naming conventions.
Someone left a Japanese -> Latin dictionary lying around Nomura's office for these ones, apparently.

He'll probably give a date for a new gameplay trailer shown during a press con at the start of next year. Déjà vu.

Prompto, I assume, comes from promptus (I shall also assume that it's the adjectival form, and thus it'll be the masc/neut abl (from/away from)/dat (to the ___) form), meaning 'quick'/'prompt', 'willing', 'eager', etc. That's the only way I see that name making sense a little. At first I thought it came from promo, but that wouldn't make much sense.
I don't think Gladiolus is that bad. It means 'little sword'. Gladiolus is also the name of a flower (the sword lily). It is also the centre portion of the sternum.

What were you expecting when the main character is called Noctis? The fourth guy is Ignis.
This game looks like the most angsty FF game since VIII. Not sure if it will surpass VIII, though. That game was pure teen angst.

I swear everything SE does continues to push themselves deeper into irrelevancy.
People would be happy (well, a little lol) if they just showed a trailer with 5 seconds new footage and even that is too much to ask.

This is so ridiculous. I mean, XIII and XIII-2 are out the door. Same with the 3rd Bday. That leaves Type-0, KH3D, and FFX HD port/remake. (I'm looking forward to all of those,
but none of them are big enough to overshadow a game as high profile as Versus XIII or carry their E3 showcase on their own!)
I realize there are probably other unannounced games but, come on, how many times are they gonna push Versus to the backburner to showcase some other new project? At some point it has to be Versus's time and I think that's WAY overdue!

Didn't he say the real time: CG ratio for cut-scenes in this game was something like 7:3? He's planning for nearly half of the games cutscenes to be CG movies.....
Meccanical

70 to 30% is near half?
Arxisz
Member
Yeah he did. I'd say they're turning some gameplay sections that were complex or not properly implemented into pre rendered sequences to finish the game faster.
but 7:3 is still not that bad considering FF games have always been heavy on cgi sequences, although maybe a bit more then usual this time around.

That's why I said before "Please insert blu-ray disk 2."
If they're claiming that number & a huge open world I doubt they can fill it all on a single disk.
I actually kinda like it when games span multiple discs. I realize that it doesn't necessarily mean it, but it always makes me feel like the game is grander or something with a massive scope and ambition.
Of course this is all a moot point since for the first time, I'm actually starting to doubt the game's existence.
I have no problem with real time: CG ratio to be 7:3
One of the things I didn't like about XIII-2 is lack of CG cutscenes
I haven't truly enjoyed an FF title in a very long time, and yet I'm still disappointed by this news.
On the bright side, perhaps there will be news of a Vita-enhanced Type-0 game? I'd probably take the PSP version as it is, but it would be a shame for them not to at least upgrade the textures and frame rate. Nicer character models would be a bonus, too.

I agree... if the story is actually good & interesting like the older FF's then I prefer to have more CG.
What lunchwithyuzo said. KH is...sorry, WAS bigger than any other RPG in the west because the Disney branding ensured it was big with kids and sold it to a lot of parents. They had this demographic locked up in addition to the FF crowd.

Why not? FFXIII and Type-0 are both 2 disc games *rimshot*.

every time this news comes up; the FF brand diminishes in value more and more to me. Completely uninterested in it ATM.
I guess if you bought it on Xbox 360, yeah, it was multiple disks. The PS3 version was one disk though.
