Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Versus XIII way back at E3 in 2006, along with its peers Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII. Since then, both vanilla XIII and Agito have actually seen release -- Agito under the new name "Type-0" -- and the former has even enjoyed a recent sequel. Yet Versus remains nowhere to be seen; Square didn't even bother teasing it at last year's Tokyo Game Show.

Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
Am quite skeptical about FFvs13, because its made by a company called Square Enix.
If it was made by a company called Squaresoft i would buy it, not based on the quality of the game. But based on the name of the company on the box. Many would do the same.
This says a lot about the image of Square Enix. Lets just hope they dont add an auto battle feature & make you pay for secret bosses, or have towns with little to no people & where you cant enter buildings...
I give up on FF versus already..
I was excited in 2006, but now I hope it remains in development hell.
Lame RPGs in this days...
I trust it only because Nomura's name is behind it. That is the ONLY reason I trust this game. Enix has run the once "king of RPGs" company into the ground, and they really don't have my support any longer. The only man at that company with any sense left is Tetsuya, and in my opinion he's the only thing keeping it alive. They already lost the amazing Sakaguchi and legendary Uematsu, if Nomura goes that's the end of the road for them.
I understand there are some who like FFXIII and XIII-2, but seriously, they have NOTHING on the older FF games, and you can't even compare them.
Almost no game ever lives up to THIS much hype. With that being said, if anyone can do it, it's Nomura. And if he has been working on it for this many years, it's hard to say it won't be perfect and he put his heart and soul into this project.
But Square needs to stop overworking him. Maybe they secretly know he's the only talent on that staff.
As long as FFVS13 has a great story people won't call it a disappointment just because it didn't live up to the 6 years of hype it currently has.
