Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Top 5 Rumours So Far

"After Square-Enix’s disappointing presentation at the Sony PS4 revel conference, many rumours have started to swirl about the infamous game in development obscurity, Final Fantasy Versus XIII (FFvsXIII). A game shown at E3 2006 (yes, nearly 7 years ago) has not yet been showcased extensively, let alone given a release date." | Explosion.com

not being localized would be a heartbreaker. I've been anticipating this game for so long.

izumo_lee4055d ago

Heck look at what Squarenix is doing with FF Type-0 & to a lesser extent Bravely Default (if those localization rumors are true).

I will not be surprised if whenever Squarenix eventually wants to finish FF vs.13 they may not even localize the game at all. However i doubt it will happen though cause the game has to have a huge budget since it has taken this long.

My guess since it was the producer of the game that made that 'pathetic' PS4 announcement announcement that the game that they will show at e3 is indeed FF vs.13 & that it has switched over to next gen using the luminous engine. It was stated that the game is indeed using the engine to some extent.

joab7774054d ago

U r probably right. It may be a gorgeous game and may actually be a good action game but they need to ditch the 13 moniker entirely, including this and lightning returns. Next gen would be the perfect time to announce FF15...it just sounds cool. It will have one huge map that u can traverse with all different types of transportation given to u in steps. The linaerity wont be as structured and will take place by guiding u a bit. It will have towns and dungeons and an evolution of 13's combat, which was good. It will be gorgeous like it always is but even better with luminkus enigine. (hell, just play ni no kuni to get some ideas...which is funny because they ultimately got ideas from FF). Then, u can also announce FF14 a realm reborn for the ps4 too. Maybe there is some type of overlap or story tie in...i dont know.

What i do know is that gamers r distrustful of FF13 anything. I think they have a golden opportunity to bring FF15 to the ps4 using luminous and the ressurection of all things rpg recently. I have faith.

What does this have a 360 label when it has been stated time and time again it's exclusive? Nothing even has been mentioned about the 360 so this should be properly submitted in the appropriate section.

Roper3164055d ago

it is possible it could be a timed exclusive or maybe they already have a deal for it to go MP and are waiting till the next public reveal/showing to announce it. Just sayin..

mandf4055d ago (Edited 4055d ago )

Until any kind of announcement it's still exclusive and should be submitted as such.

NeXXXuS4054d ago

The game is staying an exclusive. I'm hoping Squenix learned their lesson about making a final fantasy game multiplat and trying to "westernize" it. They we're doing fine up until XIII came out.

The Great Melon4054d ago (Edited 4054d ago )

I really hope they don't drop the action RPG aspect of the game. That and the dark modern setting were probably the two points that most are looking forward to.

If they have changed it that much, I will feel very betrayed.

colonel1794054d ago

I don't believe that it won't be an action RPG. It would be messed up since that was the excitement for that title alone. If true, then Square Enix is dead. They then, should just be a publisher, because as developers are failing so bad they are leading themselves to the ground.

tiffac0084054d ago (Edited 4054d ago )

Okay, if this game is still alive and gets released this year in Japan but does not get localized down the line. Then there would not be enough facepalm in the world for that failure.

Not localizing FF Type-0 and Bravely Default is bad enough as it is.

Dj7FairyTail4054d ago

Bravely Default is coming to the West just no solid news or confirmation.
It being considered because us Nintendo 3DS owners want it.

tiffac0084054d ago

That's the problem bro, no solid confirmation. It just make no sense. Unless they are going to tell us there is some copyright issue like what happened to Type-0 :( :( :(

Dj7FairyTail4054d ago

of release date or window is what I am talking about

TongkatAli4054d ago

It's gonna be good, that's all that matters.

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled1d 19h ago

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?

Final Fantasy XV Review – A Royal Road Trip

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 director reveals why he left Square Enix, and announces he's working on 2 new JRPGs

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.

FF15 is like FF13 its subjective people either like it or hate it.

raWfodog133d ago

I liked it. I haven’t played the royale edition yet but I’ll get around to it one day.

gold_drake133d ago

no no, 15 wasnt trash.

15 had a tremendous difficult development.

FinalFantasyFanatic132d ago

I really believe 13 was better put together and more complete than 15 ever was.

EternalTitan133d ago

Found the pathetic troll.
How is your jobless life going?
Dot worry, you will never get a job or a girlfriend haha!

Hofstaderman133d ago

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.

TheColbertinator133d ago

I didn't care much for XV and I always wanted the original vision of Versus XIII but I think the dev team did what they could to salvage the project

Inverno133d ago

And yet people still blame him for the game turning out the way it did, rather than SE for the horrible mismanagement of 13 and Namura for being overly ambitious.

Dwarrior133d ago

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.

gold_drake133d ago

this is also why Sakaguchi (spelling) left.
