VersusXIII not on Hold for FFXIII // General On-topic Discussion.

BOMBSHELL:FinalFantasyVersusXIIIisn't"on-hold"untillFinalFantasyXIII is done"

... And here's a translation of the scan :


quote
- DKΣ3713 is a private show so for the general public that wants to see and play the games, TGS in October will feature more new information.
- The event will be at the same format as previous S-E events, with closed theatre as well as playable booths outside.
- Birth by Sleep will be playable for the first time at the event.
- Despite the news that Square Enix was going to scale back from Mobile development, it appears that Kingdom Hearts: Coded, 3rd Birthday and Agito XIII will still be going ahead.
- Agito XIII seems to be facing serious development issues at the moment. There is a huge worldview and historical timeline.
- The director of Agito XIII is doing the outline of the entire story synopsis himself now, development is still in early stages.
- Versus XIII is on hold until FFXIII is done, because the entire Versus team is helping to finish Final Fantasy XIII at the moment. It is number one priority.
- While the planners and programmers are all working on Final Fantasy XIII, the Versus project is getting the designers to work on a lot of image illustrations and conceptual visuals. The story for Versus is also pretty much complete.
- Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days is being tuned and balanced, but it is not quite as polished as Dissidia yet. They'll be taking feedback from the playable demo.
- Birth by Sleep is not anywhere close to a final build, but Nomura wants to let people get a chance to try it out first.
- Advent Children Complete might finally be close to getting a release date.
Thoughts ? I couldn't be happier as FFXIII looks much better than Versus anyways, and this will hopefully mean that FFXIII will be done quicker !

Final Fantasy Versus XIII " On-Hold " untill FFXIII is done !

Thats GREAT news. Do you know why? Becuase they said 'Finish' which means FFXIII should be coming to our PS3's around next year And once that's done, I'm sure that the FFXIII team will return the favour.

I didn't want two FF's around the same time as it was, so I don't mind that they've put it on hold. At least they're not cancelling it or anything like The Getaway which is currently on indefinite hold

re: Final Fantasy Versus XIII " On-Hold " untill FFXIII is done !

Agreed, Many thought the Last Remnant PS3 release would be in jeopardy because of these two games. Now, it looks like all three games will give a good amount before the next. FFXIII should be done earlier now of course.

I heard something somewhere, but forgot. What is 3rd Birthday? Is it KH3 by any chance?

Looks like Dissidia might come out closer than expected.

That was my thoughts on it as well. This is nothing but great news, it means they can finish it quicker and than finish Versus quicker, plus having separate time in between Remnant, Versus and XIII

Nopeh, it's a Parasite Eve game for mobile phones.

And yadda yadda, I agree with what people said above, now FFXIII will come faster which is an awesome thing. =P

3rd Birthday is the third game in Parasite Eve series. I think it will come out only in Japan.

FF 13>Versus 13 anyway .

re: Final Fantasy Versus XIII ISN'T " On-Hold " untill FFXIII is done !

Unfortunatly, Square Enix have commenting on this issue stating that Versus hasn't been up on hold ...

Source

However, they did comment that :


quote
"The truth of the situation is that when free, some staff from the Versus team have been helping with the XIII team on development of Final Fantasy XIII. Development for both titles is continuing as originally scheduled."
So Versus hasn't been put on hold, but XIII is still getting the extra attention.

I honestly don't know why people hate Versus, it looks amazing to me... but that's a subject for another thread . But what it still means is that FFXIII is getting some extra resource, which means it'll be more likely to get completed soon

My thoughts = ^

I prefer one to come out earlier and the other even later, than the two later. I too don't see the problem with vsXIII although I understand people's complaints. Nonetheless I prefer it this way, than the way it was before.

re: VersusXIII not on Hold for FFXIII // General On-topic Discussion.

I still believe some where that they need to delay vFF13 and really focus on finishing up FF13, cause truth be told PS3 NEEDS some RPG's which is the Sony selling point for years. And just like my response to gamegrep article:

quote Me
Stupid move imo. They should halt one of the games to release one of the games quicker and spread out the release dates of the other. Tell me if this is good for SE and PS3 fans, having FF13 come out lets say late December then having Last Remnant come out 2 weeks after wards and having Versus come out 2 weeks after that?

Now this is a hypothetical RD for FF13, but the 2 weeks thing is a possibility now, I don't like it. It needs to be spread out, and one needs to be out quicker. The PS3 has barely no RPG's which is selling point of the system and the system is in NEED of them quick. Not to mention fans are getting restless of the lack of RPG's on the system. This isn't good imo, and I hope maybe they will realize soon that maybe putting versus on hold is going to be better for them and the PS3.

re: VersusXIII not on Hold for FFXIII // General On-topic Discussion.

Aren't the games being developed by different teams altogether? I don't see how progress on one would delay progress on the other.

BTW Final Blade, you are horribly mistaken if you think that RPGs are the selling point for the PS3. RPGs in general are starting to fade off from the public eye and and Final Fantasy series as a whole is suffering from poor decision making by Square and the rise of other series' to draw the interest of hardcore RPG gamers.

re: Final Fantasy Versus XIII ISN'T " On-Hold " untill FFXIII is done !

Hmm funny, cause I could have sworn RPGs is what Sony systems were known for, and thats one of the reasons many fans haven't upgraded to the lack of them. Sounds like a selling point to me.

But lets agree to disagree, cause I don't want an argument from you on this.

Now, personally, I think things would work a lot better if Versus was on hold. Preferably forever. For no real reason other than to be spared from Nomura's boring, typical bullshit.

Maybe if that were to happen, we'd be given a FF game that was actually fantastic. Like how they used to be.

Just because the PS2 nd PS1 were heavy hitters in the RPG genre doesn't mean that the PS3 is known for the same thing. Hell, look around at the games out for the systems and its pretty hard not to see that RPGs aren't a focus at all for the PS3. Use some logic for crying out loud.

This is good. I wouldn't have wanted the gmaes to be too close together anyway. I kind of like to savor things.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
