Final Fantasy Versus 13 Maybe Cancelled? How I’m Not Surprised

The Tyuno Project: "What’s up everyone, this is Tyuno The Great. News have been running around the internet stating that Final Fantasy Versus 13 maybe cancelled. I heard about this rumor this morning and the first thought that ran through my mind was, “it was bound to happen.” Like many other Final Fantasy fans, I have been patiently waiting on news of Final Fantasy Versus 13. Every time a event like E3 or the Tokyo Game Show comes up, I have hoped that Square Enix would reveal some new gameplay of FFv13, but they would never show anything. When I was at PAX Prime last year, I was told that the people working on Final Fantasy Versus 13 actually stop working on it and instead worked on Final Fantasy 13-2. I was really looking forward to tryout Final Fantasy Versus 13 because it was directed by Tetsuya Nomura, the same person who directed Kingdom Hearts which is one of my favorite games of all time. "

If this is true, I will never buy a Square Enix game EVER again.

[Ranma1]

Square Anus does it again and again...they never fail to disappoint

[belac09]

oh you used "square anus" twice today,....awesome.

[SuperLupe]

If it is cancelled then be it, its dissapointing ok but geez ... there is more than enough good games out there already and still coming to feel so attached to one game that you have never played and almost dont know aything about.

Cancelled or not I'll still buy any game they make that seems appealing to me.

This gen has been a desert jrpg wise so this is real bad news but nothing to make me stop buying anything Square Enix.

[Irishguy95]

This game has been my most anticipated game ever in my life. FF being one of my favorite series, this one seeming to take everything I love about everything that Square**** have produced and putting it into one game, along with a mature storyline

[AnotherProGamer]

its NOT cancelled. I mean how many articles do we get a week about vs13 getting cancelled. just because its in development for a long time journalist just write shit to get hits.

I bet my ass that vs13 will be TGS 2012.

SE has some FFXIII fablua whatever crystalis thingy event for Sep 1 and I would be willing to bet they will fully unveil Versus there. Nomura said not even a month ago that a full scale unveil of the game was coming soon and considering most of the other XIII projects are either done or we know all about them(FFXIII is done and we know pretty much everything about type-0) It would only make sense that this event will be used to unveil Versus and perhaps even give it a date.

There is pretty much no other reason for a event like that unless it's for Versus. Until SE says themselves the game is cancelled I don't believe. Yeah they have made alot of mistakes this gen but they KNOW that everyone is looking forward to Versus and cancelling it would be suicide. More so when it's probably closer to being done then it ever has been and because they have a crap load invested in it.

I agree, so many people over reacting over some dumb person making assumptions.

People seems to believe everything they read on the internet nowadays.

If this is true, then okay, flame on. But until there is an official statement from the developers themselves, try to have some common sense that there are so many stupid articles made nowadays just to generate hits.

Lets hope for the best come TGS 2012.

[t0mmyb0y]

I was just going to comment saying the same thing. It is NOT cancelled. How stupid can some people get?

[WeskerChildReborned]

I hope not, back when it was shown it looked real promising.

[Minato-Namikaze]

If true nomura needs to leave SE and start his own studio. I refuse to buy another SE game again.

[kevnb]

I'll just play xenoblade chronicles some more.

[Garrus010]

There is a new rumor and apparently the game is still in developpement and it will be at the TGS 2012

[Pintheshadows]

I have to say that considering this rumour started on Kotaku i'm about as likely to believe it as I am to believe Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.

If you're wondering, that's 'I don't believe it at all'.

[Xof]

Just in case anyone forgot about it after reading through the handful of comments preceding this one...

"The Tyuno Project: "What’s up everyone, this is Tyuno The Great."

...words cannot express my loathing.

[OmniSlashPT]

This is the perfect rumour so Square takes the hero role at this year's TGS and announce Versus release date and a freaking awesome trailer. Just the way Sony is holding TLG for an epic announcement soon as well.

Atleast I hope they're smart enough to do that xd

[Skateboard]

It isn't and there is no proof. Nomura is like squares favorite child out of the devs he gets what he wants.

[Majin-vegeta]

Yea i agree.

hope not been waiting for this long time now.

[Elda]

I personally think it's possible it might be cancelled or be called something else instead of VS XIII,hopefully by time TGS 2012 we'll here something about this game,maybe since Square has been so quiet about VS XIII for the last year & half Kotaku might have started this rumor as a tactic to get Square to finally confirm what is going on with VS XIII so fans won't be disappointed.

[Qrphe]

No need to be upset.... only dreams now

[belac09]

its just being renamed, thats all that they mean, calm down

[ACEMANWISE]

I'm beginning to think they announced this title just to shut everyone up.

[DigitalRaptor]

How you're not surprised?

The game's budget is absolutely huge, but I can't see it being something that Square Enix cannot still afford. They've spent so long on it that cancelling it would be counter productive and affect team motivation in a massive way. Cutting their losses for it is something I can't imagine being feasible. Even Nomura has said they are preparing the latest public information for it.

TGS '12, you just wait!
