The Ghost of Versus XIII Part 1: The Journey

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’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

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."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

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.

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion10d ago (Edited 10d 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.

SonyStyled10d 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?

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

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

solideagle15d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger15d ago

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.

carrotcakeag15d ago

@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.
