"Today’s breaking news comes from Square Enix merchandise guru Hidemi Matsuzuka, who updated his Twitter feed with a single shot of what will become the next official FF Versus XIII goods..."
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
It means the merchandise ties into the the game which will finally has a release date...on the PS4. Its inevitable now.
To be honest, I'd feel a little put off by a possible renaming of this game to FFXV for the next-generation of consoles simply because we were told at the very beginning that it's a game for the PS3.
That, and because of SE's prolonging of the XIII series. Does this mean I no longer care too much about this game? Maybe, maybe not.
SE has everything to prove. They've fallen like a sack of shit. They wasted everyone's time with their presentation and they haven't made anything good the last 6 years.
