If Wada's serious about this 2 year turnaround thing, then any XIII-2 should be well into development by now.

Wada wants a lot of things :D too bad he doesn't want to offer his services to an other company too XD
 
Why would they announce x-box 360 support in a region where the 360 is all but dead?(1 week of american sales = 1 year of Japanese) E3 makes a lot more sense.





Here's hoping for chocobo racing 3ds movies!
 
Anyone know where i can find that video of Agito from the last time they showed it off? It was at that Square event from last year.
 
Kitase takes to the stage:

'What we took away from fan feedback for FFXIII was that the players really enjoyed the linear gameplay and environments, so I'm pleased to announce that we've removed all turns and open environments from FFXIII-2 so that players can just run endlessly at the horizon, which is why we decided the full title of the game is:

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Horizon

I hope you enjoy running towards the horizon as much as we all do. Don't worry, we've thrown in some unavoidable and repetetive enemy encounters along the way, in addition to having more tutorials. FFXIII gamers loved the tutorials so we are pleased to announce that FFXIII-2: Horizon will have thirteen times the amount of tutorials as FFXIII.

Oh, and the main character is Vanille, who has 90% of the lines in the game.

Peace.'

Psh

Agito back to being a mobile exclusive
Versus now Wii HD exclusive
FFXIII-2 announced as an iOS exclusive.....
Good, but I can best it...

Agito is DSi exclusive, returning to episodic structure in DLC episodes, each one year apart for thirteen years.

Nomura steps down from directing Versus to focus on clothing design for Roen. Development of the game is moving to Level-5 and the game will be exclusive to ROID services.

FFXIII-2 will be exclusive to the PlayStation 1, in an unlikely move Square have listened to the fans and gone back to the golden days of the series by producing a new PS1 entry. The game will be available on PS3/PSP/PSP2 via PS1 Classics and a pressing on PS1 game discs will run with a limited edition version of the PS1 with the FFXIII-2 logo produced with human hair dyed pink.

That would be as cheap as hell and provide the biggest addressable install base.

PS1 owners
PS2 owners
PS3 owners
PSP owners
PSP2 owners
Xperia Play owners

You sir are a genius.

So is Versus shaping up to be another Kingdom Hearts like 'X' button masher? The footage didn't look so great.

After playing KH BBS I think the battle system will be fantastic.

It's the same team, it will be the same genre as KH.
I agree that the animations in the trailer look bad but hopefully there will be better, more recent footage in a few hours.
As Kagari said after Birth By Sleep the team deserves a bit of credit.

i really just want to see the menu. i don't know why i find that so interesting in an RPG.

Me too. I want to see the final HUD, the menu and some screens/footage of a party VS enemy encounter to see how that all looks.

Me too. It's no mystery though, if you're going to be looking at it for 100 hours or more it better be slick.

I'm still waiting on the Last Remnant for PS3 SE!!

It will be great to see some more Versus and Agito gameplay. Shame I start work the second the thing starts though (GMT time). Ah well.


I Know we wont get this, BUT I STILL WANT IT SO BADLY.

Anyways, when does this start? I know there aren't any streams. 4:00 AM Central?

The battle director of Kingdom Hearts 1/2 is different from the battle director of BbS. I don't remember which was the battle director of Versus XIII, though; I think it hasn't been revealed.

Well they were still trying to employ new battle planner (s) and level designer(s) last year.
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/10/18/ff_versus_xiii_planners/

I don't suppose battle directors are the same as battle designers. At least I hope not. Won't want this to be like FFXIII where Optima Change/Paradigm Shift was only added after they completed the demo. Not that I didn't like the system.
 
I am here for this momentous occasion!

Will Versus be the savior of JRPGs as we know it? (Pray to Buddha.)
Will Agito be Square's Monster Hunter? (Square certainly hopes so!)
Will Dissidia 2 be even more fanservicey? (Yes!)
Will Kingdom Hearts continue to bore me? (Yes...)
Will they announce something really awesome, like a Chrono game, or a Xenogears game? (Unlikely...)
Will they probably announce some kind of FF6 remake/report? (Couldn't hurt.)

Baited breath as always, Squenix. All over my face.
 
I'm pretty excited I get to play Versus now. I got a PS3 for Christmas. Mainly for Last Guardian and this, I care not if it goes to the 360 though. I'll be getting the PS3 version no matter what.
 
Versus so far really looks like what I've been waiting for from Square all generation in terms of Final Fantasy. Can't wait to see more alreadyyyyy.
