winter 2011. which is like January 2012. that's my guess for a JP release. really i'm going to import and this time i'm going to learn the language unlike FFXIII which i winged it because the story was so so :lol
Man, if this game comes out late 2011/early 2012, it would probably have a mid to late 2012 US release. I've known about and have been waiting for this game since I was in high school, and by the time it comes out I'll be out of college.....

This trailer better be fucking good.

Nolan North?
honestly I hope when Noctis first speaks they reveal that the whole game is in English on some Capcom style shit. Let him say "Well they said this is the Versus" corny all around but the internets will be aflame. Throw in a bit of latin so Nomura can get a chubby and it all be good.

Best part is that the whole thing will be livestreamed.

They're unfortunately streaming the second showing instead of the first.

I wonder if they'll be dicks to the foreign press to. At the DKSigma something event, they let the Japanese press into the first showing but kept the foreign press waiting until the second showing.

There's no reason why it can't come out at the same time world wide. Haha, oh wait, this is SE, nvm.

FF13 could have been a worldwide release if if wasn't for the port version having to come out at the same time.

They're gonna be like this until Versus finally comes out. Then it's back to "Where the hell is my Final Fantasy VII remake?"
Actually I think the next big budget FF title will be either a FFXIII-2 or some other FNC spinoff. Remember Nomura-sama's HEY GUIZ DONT FORGET LIGHTNING QQ tweet? yep.

What would you prefer?

If FFXIII-2 is a solo more action focused game, I'm in for sure.

Versus and Agito. Leave XIII alone, it wasn't that good, and Lightning wasn't a very interesting character. Time to move on at this point.

maybe it'll be the great XIII we didn't get!

Again, Agito and Versus will probably be the great XIII we didn't get.

Those games have teams already. Kitase's army needs to do something.
 
Much as I love Final Fantasy. I want to see another console Kingdom Hearts before I die. I mean, I'm not getting any younger.

This could be true. I think I read somewhere some time ago that "an entire game's worth of content" was cut from FF XIII. But no towns, no buy. If they're doing a sequel, I don't want an expansion pack. I want a sequel.

But BbS is the best one in the series! They can stay on portables as long as they keep that quality. :D
 
StuBurns said:
Well if it gets Versus out sooner it sounds like a plan.

It doesn't mean anything. Kitase is "co-producer" on all main KH games too. It's a pretty standard credit listing, since the Versus team is basically the exact core team of KH and KH2.

Kitase is also Executive Producer on The 3rd Birthday, and producer of Agito and Dissidia012. I think people need to realize that Kitase himself doesn't really have a team. He's just a general producer these days at S-E Tokyo. The actual dev team of FFXIII is led by Toriyama.
 
News?

Nomura said:
“Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts 3D are not the same. However, it is a brand-new adventure starring Sora and Riku. The story is on par with that of a numbered title, and I’m sure the ending will shock fans. There is a hint regarding Kingdom Hearts 3D in the secret movie [of Re:coded]. Players will find out once they see for themselves, but the movie includes some shocking statements and dialogue that pertains to Kingdom Hearts 3D, so it’s definitely worth watching!”

Source: Nintendo Power

Edit: Old news actually, but I guess this is a reminder to people who think KH3D is KH3.
 
With the rate they are pumping out Kingdom Hearts games, they probably don't want KH game to catch up to those numerals behind Final Fantasy. :lol
 
They plan on announcing new games right or is it limited to Versus, Agito, KH3D, KH:BBS:FM, and Dissidia Duodecim?

They have not confirmed that they will be announcing any completely new titles, but they also did not state that the conference is limited to just those titles either. I would say that's a good indication that we can expect at least one surprise announcement.
 
Kagari said:
No such release schedule exists, not even on their PR site.

Maybe it's for the press and/or retail, I don't think they have made it up among with the FFXIII: Seasons name........of course everything is possibile :lol :lol
 
This release slate is literally nowhere to be found: Press Site, Press FTP etc. I even just called up one of their PR guys and he has no idea where this has come from...
 
This news is great,
But I would be more ecstatic if they announced a conference revolving around updates to their other franchises:

SaGa, Musashi/Musashiden, Tobal, Ehrgeiz, Driving Emotioin, Vagrant Story(lolyeahright), Einhander, Star Ocean, Terranigma & Actraiser (from old Quintet staff), a new Valkyrie game or localized Itadaki Street.

I sometimes wonder if by 2013 Squenix will just become a FF company, with a few DQ and KH games thrown in there bi-yearly.

You don't think a website could make up news to get hits? Really? :lol

To be fair, Nowgamer is pretty large and known here in the UK. They're owned by Imagine Publishing, who publish about 6 gaming magazines here including GamesTM and Retro Gamer. They're a big site, and should be above just making stuff up. I pinged him on Twitter a few times regarding his source saying I'd called Square and that they were clueless and he said...

"@APZonerunner it was on an email. Sorry, should have said."

and then

"@APZonerunner Sorry mate, not going to reveal my source on t'internet!"

So it sounds like it's news from a super secret source or whatever. Truth be told, I think he's been had, as if FF13: Seasons is a thing (probably isn't), it likely isn't a game. NowGamer may be a big site and may be above deliberately faking something for hits, but they've been fooled a few times before like this.
 
FFXIII: Seasons = Final Fantasy XIII-2 featuring more Leona Lewis?
 
GoldandBlue said:
Final Fantasy XIII: Seasons is way to simple of a title to be real.
According to Google Translate, with the requisite latin added that works out to be Final Fantasy XIII: Cardines Temporum. Sounds perfect for Square to me :lol
