Nomura Tweets about Final Fantasy Versus XIII

If you've been following The Third Birthday tweets from Square-Enix, you may have noticed that Nomura would be thinking about answering some questions about Versus.

ThePlaystationFour5417d ago

Versus will not disappoint. Day 1 for me.

JoySticksFTW5417d ago

"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." -Nomura

Awww yeah... :)

Commander_TK5417d ago

Nomura is a f***ing genius

RedDead5417d ago (Edited 5417d ago )

I agree, from what i've seen so far I love everything about the game.But still I need to know where the love for Nomura comes from. Tell me what game besides Kingdom Hearts has he made, please explain. I don't know where the love comes from.

EDIT-Really? He was the character designer only for every FF up until versus.
Can you give me an example? (of a great game)

EDIT::
I'm on his wiki now, he made the story to FF7 and was just the character designer for the rest of the titles you mentioned except TWEWY where he was the creative producer(what's that),

Finalfantasykid5417d ago

He has been involved in almost every final fantasy since, I dunno like FFV, he used to do mostly character designs, but now he also does lots of directing and such.

KiasuKiasiMan5417d ago

He was the character designer and basic story writer for FFVII and FFVIII so he created Cloud and Squall etc.

Other notable games he worked on include FFX, Parasite Eve 1 and 2, The World Ends with You.

So far he has directed all the Kingdom Hearts games as well as Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Optical_Matrix5417d ago

He is the genius behind the Kingdom Hearts series and also responsible for creating the characters of FFVII, VIII, X, XIII, Agito XIII, Versus XIII, The Bouncer and The World Ends with You. Also directed Advent Children and did the character designs for that as well.

Da One5417d ago (Edited 5417d ago )

So he's a credited for CC:FF7 too, and Dissidia was also his idea he picked out all the people to work on it too.

Normura gets a lot ofd love because out the entire SE team he and the Kingdom Hearts team have not lost their damn minds

ranmafandude5417d ago

i want my true final fantasy fix. ff13 was not a final fantasy game. it just happened to have the name final fantasy on it. i want airships and exploration. epic cut-scenes and a epic story i can follow deeply.

Prototype5417d ago

I know I'm gonna get hit massively for saying this, but after the recent games SE made I'm not keeping my expectations or my hopes up high until AFTER it comes out.

I'm still feeling the hatred for 13 and how they "promised" one thing but delivered something completely opposite - multi or not they still talked of one thing and did another.

Newtype5417d ago

If he's getting this much publicity, it probably means Vs in late 2012.

Millionaire5417d ago

Late 2012? You're very optimistic...Lol

Kamikaze1355417d ago

If voice work starts now, that means they aren't that far off to finishing it. Plus, the traieler debuted in what? 2006? Releasing it in 2012 would make 6 years that they've been working on it (on top of however many months+years they've been working on it before the trailer was shown).

I'm pretty sure we'll get it late 2012 or maybe Spring 2012.

Da One5417d ago

They've been working on it off and on, mostly off due to all the other titles they've(KH Team and Nomura) been doing

VersusEM5417d ago

Not really news, but its always good to hear about Final Fantasy Versus XIII-THE BEST GAME THIS GEN!!!!!!

Godmars2905417d ago (Edited 5417d ago )

But as far as I'm concerned Square has yet to deliver a "Great" let alone an unquestionably good game this console gen. Until they do any of their attempts at hype just turn my stomach. Especially if they don't show any footage.

@Finalfantasykid:
Sorry again, but this gen, on HD consoles at least, has turned into the worst for JRPGs. They've only come under fire and the only way someone like Namura is going to prove they have any kind of real future outside of Japan is with game footage, not talk.

Finalfantasykid5417d ago

Ya I agree. But I think Nomura is one of the few people on Square Enix who know how to make a good game in this era of gaming.

RedDead5417d ago

Such as? What good games has he made his gen?

-MD-5417d ago

Nothing yet. I'm on his wiki though and it says he contributed to The Bouncer? Much respect to this man I loved that game.

Lavalamp5417d ago

Yeah, he has made some good games this gen. The World Ends With You, Kingdom Hearts Coded, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Godmars2905417d ago

None of which are on HD consoles, so sorry, but what's the point of even bringing them up in this case?

Dawn_Of_Ashes5417d ago

i wonder if square enix will humiliate themselve again and selling this exclusive to microsoft.

RumbleFish5417d ago

If they do, I hope the community will answer and not swallow the crap again.
I am lucky to have friends in Japan and they've sent me the BluRay of FF Advent Children including the FF 13 Demo. From that moment I knew that I won't buy FF 13.
Gamers only power is not to buy!

Ascalon945417d ago

as someone who owns both the 360 and PS3 I hope this stays on PS3. I wanna see the power and graphics they can put it in the game

ukilnme5417d ago (Edited 5417d ago )

I have made this comment before and I will do it again. My inside sources have confirmed that Versus is coming to the 360 but SE can't officially say anything yet. Trust me, the announcement is coming. Bookmark this page for future reference. I can say no more.

Edit: It is not a bad thing that more gamers will get the opportunity to play the game.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom37d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7737d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125172d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501171d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne172d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989171d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga171d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989171d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69172d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid171d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69171d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp172d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion423d ago (Edited 423d 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.

SonyStyled423d 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?
