Final Fantasy XIII-2 NA Release Window?

Square Enix has announced that FFXIII-2 will release Winter 2011 via the US Playstation Blog, previously announced to be coming to Japan in 2011.

RedDead4846d ago

Still though, why not make Versus and Agito first, why do they have to focus so highly on FFXIII?

FrigidDARKNESS4846d ago

this game will probably get released in September.
SE is not ready to release versus because they are busy doing a port of it for the 360.

Agito is coming first. Summer 2011 is the japanese date. -2 is winter 2011 in japan

And versus is an exclusive. Always has been, always what square has said

Foxgod4845d ago

Cause versus was announced when it was very early in development, it finally starts to come around.

For ff13 they already created most of the needed assets to do a FF13-2, and they probably already started on FF13-2 shortly before FF13 was completed.

DigitalAnalog4845d ago (Edited 4845d ago )

I know I would.

-End of Line

Zerogamer4845d ago

They said "coming next winter" that means winter 2012 correct?

Foxgod4845d ago

End of 2011 is also winter.

NoobSessions4845d ago

BUt "next winter" would normally mean next year's winter,
unless they wanna be technical about it and mean that the next winter to come is "next winter"

ApexHell4845d ago

no its winter right now in america :p next winter is november-march

dan881234845d ago

two different developement teams work on versus and ff13-2, thats why they are working on both.

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

raWfodog15h ago(Edited 15h 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.

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

solideagle14d ago

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

Chocoburger14d 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.

carrotcakeag14d 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.

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.

jznrpg18d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
