Final Fantasy Versus XIII Now Undergoing Voice Casting

Square Enix's The 3rd Birthday Twitter is about more than just The 3rd Birthday. Tetsuya Nomura has said that he'll be providing a few updates on his other projects, and he did just that earlier today for Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII. (Final Fantasy XIII Versus, PS3, Square Enix, Tetsuya Nomura)

What stage of development does this mean the game is in?

Castlevania gets my vote of best voice castings so far.

Robert Carlyle AND Patrick Stewart... Awesome!

They could have all the scenarios mapped out, now they just need the Seiyu/Voice Actors to come in and lay vocals.

I really want to get into that profession :(.

Robert Carlyle was great in Train Spotting!

Man what the fuck is with this game...

I thought it was supposed to be released this year or early next year. Idiots. I was stoked to play this but the longer I wait the more I lose interest.

It'd be the same case with GT5, but that game is in another league of awesomeness.

I hope they dont use the voice actors of those people that are in that association group, forgot what it's called, since they have stupid voices that just dont work right.

I hope the original Japanese voices are on the disk and it's subbed properly. I dont mind if they do the english dub but i want options. I'm really starting to hate those people that dub most of my favorite fighting animes. They lose the badassedness of the fights.

I'm hoping for lots of info at Tgs and hopefully finally sme battle gameplay. This is my most anticipated game but I can't believe I was 14 when it was announced. The years flew by.

I wonder where Nomura normally gets his idea's from but he just kind of stole this guy's looks for Noctis didn't he? Even both their eye's go red when fighting haha.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII Now Undergoing Voice Casting
So I'm guessing a 2011 release date is in order then? I hope we don't have to wait too long, maybe a spring/ Summer release for Japan and then a holiday release for the west. Square Enix better show a gameplay trailer at TGS for having us waiting so long along with announcing an estimated release date. I mean, It's been 4 years since it was announced and now it's about to head into it's 5th year.

Just for the reference,
FF13 voice "recording" had taken for a year and ended on June 2009, then released on Dec. 2009.

However, Nomura said on Twitter that the production method for Versus is not the same with any game before. I think he doesn't want us to guess any release date for Versus.

EPIC WIN:
"There have been many questions regarding fields. It's not a completely open world. It's like the 2D FF games in HD. Although, in terms of looks, it's not a top-down view, it's like the screenshots that have been released. You'll move through the world from that view."

My God....Final Fantasy may very well be back. God Bless you, Nomura.

What the hell was the point of announcing this in 2005 or whatever?

So they just left it alone for 3 years without doing anything?

"There are a number of unannounced titles. These will come before Agito and Versus. Some have finished voice recording. Announcements will take place in Japan.'

Ugh.

SE really has to stop announcing games 5 years before release.

hoping for 2011 release
DaPrintz  +   1014d ago
Thats kinda disappointing. I had my fingers crossed for versus being a little further along. I assume they're recording the japanese dialogue. See you in 2012 I suppose.........
Da One  +   1014d ago
world wide release.....
hopefully nov-dec 2011
cfountain  +   1014d ago

i doubt it will take as long as people think. there were scans leaked and it looks better(and is doing more) then ff13 now so it must be pretty far along. also he says that have a lot to show " We have a lot to announce, but because we're going in order, I can't say too much yet." so i think it will still be 2011.
ClownBelt  +   1014d ago
It's still not out? I've already forgotten about this to be honest.

Anyways, I predict that Nier was like the prototype of FF Versus 13.

RBLAZE1988  +   1014d ago
it probably was...
so go out and buy Nier so Square doesn't think us westerners have completely lost our good taste. Nier is a really good game and it's a shame the industry has thrown it in the toilet. It's a shame FF13 sold 5 mil and Nier didn't break 1 mil.
kingdavid  +   1013d ago
Nier wasnt even made by square enix..

"If you're wondering when you'll be getting your next glimpse of Versus and Agito, don't turn to Gamesom. In a later Tweet, Nomura said that, similar to E3, the two games will not be shown at the European gaming event. Square Enix will only be showing The 3rd Birthday and Kingdom Hearts."

European Re:coded release date any one. Also there is the new trailer for Birth by sleep to be shown.

great news !

this confirms that the game is multiplatform....hehe

Godmars290  +   1014d ago
This confirms nothing.
Hell, if the games not coming for a few years, if they show anything for it this TGS while saying its PS3-only it wont mean anything. Not coming from Square.
gano  +   1014d ago
They said woridlwide so i'm expecting a worldwide release.
2011 all, or mar 2012
GigaGaia  +   1014d ago
The game is a PS3 exclusive, so they said it will have a worldwide release.
chidori666  +   1013d ago
finaly the real ff incoming for my PS3. \O/
Ludakriss  +   1013d ago
I just really REALLY hope they'll have an option to have Japanese voices and English subtitles. That would truly preserve the Japanese influence on the game...at least for me.
Lirankn  +   1013d ago
Sorry to disappoint you guys but this game is gonna be XBOX EXCLUSIVE
OmarJA-N4G  +   1013d ago
Too bad the Xbox 3rd60 can't handle it's own exclusives.
VersusEM  +   1013d ago
Good News, hope they have good acters.
josh14399  +   1013d ago
