Final Fantasy Versus XIII Name Change Hinted by Amazon Japan

GC: Square Enix may very well call Final Fantasy Versus XIII something else by the time it is finished.

[Smurf1]

Final Fantasy Type-1? Lol.

[Ranma1]

they will change it to:

"Final Fantasy 13: Why don't you love lightning ?"

If we've learnt anything, its that SE loves shoving lightning down out throats

[crxss]

so sick of the XIII roman numerals... come on SE, they need to move away from that travesty and move on. the less a connection there is between Versus and XIII the better.

but that's not gonna happen unfortunately...

[MariaHelFutura]

Ironically in more ways than one, you're correct.

[Wolfbiker]

XIII has its fans and some of us look forward to the conclusion to Lightning's tale.

I know its hard for some to believe but its true.

[Xof]

I did love Lighning.

It was XIII's gameplay and level design I hated.

[oricon]

Its funny that you say SE loves shoving lightning down our throats since in FFXII-2 even though she was in front cover she was only playable for a very small portion in the game.

[Awesome_Gamer]

I actually liked Lightning as a character, but I hated XIII's gameplay and level design.

[pixelsword]

Not lightning; what they want to give us is Multiplicity, the hint is in the name itself.

It'll probably change from
Final Fantasy Versus XIII

to

Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Versus 360 Verusu Wii U.

[sikbeta]

At this point, S-E better push it to Next-Gen Consoles, because a year from now, no one will care about this game when XBX3+PS4 are out...

[CaJuaLFeatPuFF]

Final Fantasy- I Will Never Come Out

[sithsylar]

Thats what she said.

[iMaim]

@sithsylar
That's not how the joke works.

[pixelsword]

It depends if she strapped anything on for him or not.

;)

[Ezz2013]

guys guys the game was finished 5 years ago

but what hold it back all that time
some of dev's there wanted it to be "Final Fantasy:i will never come out"
instead of "Final Fantasy:Versus XIII"

while the others wanted it's name to be "Final Fantasy:square enix trolling you"

and since then they can't decide

[Lord_Sloth]

Better be Final Fantasy 15 and it better come out in 2014 at the latest!

[NeXXXuS]

I actually like the Versus XIII part more just because it says "Versus" as if it's going against Final Fantasy XIII to prove that it's better.

[Root]

God I hope it will be called FF15, it looks more like a FF game then FF13 despite it being more like Kingdom Hearts and thats saying a lot about how crap and differnt FF13 was.

Imagine FF15 being exclusive to one platform again, nothing holding it back. Least then they'll see that more platforms dosent always mean more sales.

[turgore]

You can paint a horse with stripes and it won't make a zebra.

FF XV needs to be a proper sequel.

[IAmLee]

I don't think anyone cares about XIII anymore, they're pushing to hard to make Lightning an Iconic character. I'd much rather X HD than this mess anyday.

[Kurisu]

And that will be the reason for the name change. Versus really needs to differentiate itself from XIII so consumers know that they aren't getting more of the same (Lightning). Ignis Philosophy, maybe? :p

[MariaHelFutura]

They should call it Final Fantasy: Forever

[badz149]

how about Final Fantasy: WHATEVER! sounds?

[pixelsword]

More like Final Fantasy: Never

[Irishguy95]

Final Fantasy

Will be considered another revamp of the franchise since the other revamp FFXIII ****ed it all up even worse

[FACTUAL evidence]

It should be called, Final fantasy: Fan's Fantasy. Cuz at this rate it's only a fantasy.

[showtimefolks]

so it will not be exclusive to ps3 and won't even come out for current system/systems.

make it a next gen title, i seriously doubt it will live up to the hype. its games like versus,last guardian and half-life 3 for example where fans have such high expections that its better to never come out lol.

i hope one way or another we get a confirmation or whether this title will ever be released or just a pip dream

[trikster40]

Final Fantasy Should-Have-Been-The-Real-13?

Final Fantasy Never-Gonna-Happen?

Final Fantasy 19?

We are about as likely to see this game as we are a FF7 remake...

[sithsylar]

Final Fantasy MIA...... (sorry)

[Treian]

the game doesn't exsist...

[knifefight]

Maybe the decision on the new name has taken up their last 4 years of development.

[badz149]

THAT would be HILLARIOUS if true LOL!

[DragonKnight]

Final Fantasy: Lightning Has A Sex Change And Dies Her Hair.

[bwazy]

Final Fantasy VII-2

[josephayal]

is Final Fantasy type-360

[Treian]

fail troll

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Final Fantasy: disk 9! lol

[strigoi814]

"final square enix game"

[SnipeySnake]

final GOOD square enix game fantasy

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

It dosent matter if they change the name its still not here.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Hopefully if it is a name change it's Final Fantasy 15. The lore if 13 is prefectly fine in all seriousness. However, the execution and introduction to the world was so terribly done that frankly no one thinks the FF13 universe is any good at all.

[SeraphimBlade]

Final Fantasy Forever
Final Half-Fantasy 3
Final Fantasy-of-it-ever-releasing

[JasonXS12]

Final Fantasy XIII - Thanks for waiting....
or
Final Fantasy - XIII years of waiting....

[PS4isKing_82]

i heard the new name is actually goung to be "final fantasy vsXIII: stuck in development hell next to agent and the last guardian "!!
release date: never/never/never

[sithsylar]

You can add FFXHD to that list as well :(....

[Veneno]

Ive never played a square rpg that I ever liked. But Vs 13 looked amazing. I wish Squqre rpg fans would just stop buying all Square rpgs and demand that VS 13 at least be shown and confirmed as being in development.

Seriously, take a stand quit being suckers.

[PS4isKing_82]

I can't imagine that. Ps1 era was the glory days of square soft before they merged with enix and went downhill. 3 amazing ffs, 4 if you count tactics, xenogears, brave fencer musashi, chrono cross, legend of mana, threads of fate, saga frontier 1 & 2. There were just so many wonderful games made by them in those days. Those games are the reason I still proudly own my psone and most of those games I just listed and many more. And it's also why I can't stand what this company has become.

[nunley33]

And Parasite Eve was awesome and would love a full console sequel that's more like the first game.

[zerocrossing]

And Front Mission 1,2,3 & 4

[Unlimax]

Parasite eve 1 was a legendary and unique title that deserve to get its own Sequel on home Consoles .. no joke , Square you are the dumbest company i have ever seen in my entire life why can't you make a sequel for "Parasite eve" exploit The gameplay style from the first Parasite eve game !

Seriously .. The gameplay style of the first one Was fabulously incredibly and creative at the same time .

[betan21]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh SE next gen already started with wii u and no sign of versus failed

[Edito]

I don't care about Square Enix and the games they make...

[SamPao]

thats awesome, why bother commenting?

[Edito]

Lol it makes me feel better...

[CrimsonessCross]

Final Fantasy - Just Kidding!

[Rask]

I doubt if this game is still a PS3 exclusive. I'm pretty sure this will be released on 360.

[goldwyncq]

Final Fantasy Forever

[no_more_heroes]

...

[animegamingnerd]

i would believe that is could mean the rumor that versus 13 was going to be renamed final fantasy 15 and be on the PS3 and wii u but square denied it and it would require them doing something good which they happen to suck at

[Lucreto]

I hope I am wrong but I think the game is being delayed on purpose.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII to be released in 2013 and rumour of a special conference next month with FF V XIII being there so I have my fingers crossed.

[TimeSkipLuffy]

Final Fantasy Versus XIV because it will be released 2014...

[Aghashie]

I don't care about the name, just release the f*king game already! I've waited too long!

:/

[ame22]

If true biggest mistake on their part. When something is this viral you don't simply go and dump it in the ocean.

[tigertron]

It should be called 'Final Fantasy What? you thought this was coming out? LOL'

Seriously though, it's about time they announced a release date for this. We've been waiting since 2006...

[TotalHitman]

Why do these Japanese developer's take an age to release their games?

[BLuKhaos]

Too busy fapping to the pair of school girl underwear they bought from the vending machine down the hall and drawing zippers on everything.

[OmniSlashPT]

Final Fantasy Versusware XIII lol

[NirvanaInChains]

Its been too long. Already sold my ps3

[ApexHell]

they should just name it Final Fantasy

[wishingW3L]

then we would have 2 games with the same name... The first one and the last one!

[Haha123]

Final Fantasy Versus 13 - Revengance

[kurochi]

Wait.... they're still making this????? /s

[J86blum]

Final Fantasy 13 Finally no seriously.

[izumo_lee]

Personally i hope they keep the name cause look guys the title says it all, Final Fantasy VERSUS 13. This game goes against all that FF13 stands for & represents. There is a reason Nomura is calling his game this title cause he from what rumors revealed was unhappy with the direction that FF13 was going. And do you know what yeah we can all relate to his feelings with another sequel on its way.

His game that he has probably worked his butt off is consistently put on the back burner by the higher ups at Squarenix & yeah even though he probably will not come out & say what he feels, we all know that he is & this game is being mistreated.

So yeah keep the title release it on one platform that he originally intended to do in the first place cause that is how Nomura works (what they do after i can care less) & for Nomura's sake collect his last paycheck & bolt a sinking ship.

[GraveLord]

Final Fantasy XV.
Let go of the stupid XIII universe and characters no one cares about.

[KrisButtar]

i see all the hate for 13 and 13-2 but love for verus, what im worried about is if verus is worst than 13 and 13-2, SE track record is not very good as of late

[wishingW3L]

if that happens then nothing will change anyway, Square's fanbase is huge. That's why they keep milking FF13, because they know their fans will buy anything with the "Final Fantasy" name on it and we are talking about 2-3 million games sold by default. And they can keep reusing assets and characters so making these crappy sequels should be pretty cheap for them.

If only Working Designs had dedicated fans like those.... ;__;

[silkrevolver]

There's a lot of hate towards Square Enix lately, and it's not really that uncalled for.

BUT DO YOU REMEMBER THIS SHIT?!
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Totally worth the wait.
And that footage is, like, two years old anyway.

It's gonna be so good.
Now they just need to fucking release it.

[wishingW3L]

there's tons of footage with English subs on Youtube if you want to understand what they are saying. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

But FF13 trailers looked awesome too... You can never tell how good a game will be based on this stuff. Especially when more than half of the trailer is just one cut-scene after the other with only like 40 seconds of unfinished gameplay. Square are masters of deception.

[NoTheMama]

What the hell does versus mean in the game's title anyway? Anything? Or just more SE pretentious wank?
I would like to play this one day though, kinda given up hope right now though.
Perhaps SE will surprise us with something clever soon by releasing FFvs13 on the same day GTA V launches lol I wouldn't put it past them

[360ICE]

Wonder if I'll be alive to see it released.

[LKHGFDSA]

Good. I hope they change it, I don't like seeing XIII in there. Even if it is the same universe or whatever, it's still a very different game.
