BNR: Its hard to believe but this summer will mark the 9th anniversary of the Fabula Nova Crystallis announcement that brought us Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Final Fantasy Agito XIII. Square Enix was looking to take the next gen consoles by storm. Final Fantasy XIII was to launch on Xbox 360 and PS3. Final Fantasy Versus XIII was only announced for PS3, and Agito XIII was announced for the PSP. Final Fantasy XIII eventually launched in the spring of 2009 followed by 2 direct sequels in 2011 and 2013. Final Fantasy Agito XIII eventually became Final Fantasy Type-0 and it launched on PSP in late 2011 in Japan not seeing the light of day in the US and Europe until its HD release on PS4 and Xbox One last month.

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.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
