Update: Square Enix May Have Axed Final Fantasy Versus XIII
- Thread starter Jeremy Wilkinson
- Start date
The surprising thing to me is that some people immediately believed it was true. The odds of this being true are just as slim, if you ask me.Halfstache said:
I have no idea, I read something somewhere about a XIII-3 and I just don't see the point.kurupt87 said:
Tell you what I'd buy: X prequel.
With Auron, Braska and Jecht.
Oh SE...
This happens when you announce a dozen games a year. Sooner or later you reach a point where your game teams consist of one guy sitting in a closet writing code.
The way things are going I think we're seeing the slow death spiral of SE. It's sad to see just because I have a lot of good memories of their games over the years. However, all those memories are at least one console generation old. With that said you can't say that they didn't do it to themselves.

I don't see what the big deal is. I have seen the gameplay and it doesn't look that impressive - it's a typical action RPG. I've played a ton of those. The Final Fantasy title used to stand for 'more than typical.' It looks more interesting then XIII, I'll give it that, but the box for XIII was more interesting than the game itself. If they melded this into a whole new Final Fantasy, that would be better. Maybe they could make it more interesting.
I'm not surprised, as this was rumored a long time ago - Squeenix sank more money than they cared to admit into that bomb of an MMO they called Final Fantasy XIV and never made anything close to what they'd hoped for on it. They had said back then they were going to have to cancel several projects, and with Versus XIII being the project with the least amount of work put into it, I assumed it'd be one of them.

Atlus is really killing these guys. JRPGs and Stratagy RPGs that don't suck and have low development costs. Sucks that most of these are waaaaay too Japanese for me to really enjoy. I used to go to square for JRPGs that were fun but were not a damn anime game. 13 might as well have been K-on with all of the moe everywhere. FFVII had an anime feel but reminded me of the 80's stuff that was awesome. Versus game me the same vibe. It's a shame, I was looking forward to it.
Square is just a publisher to me.

Funny, last time I saw a rumor about V-XIII, it was that it was becoming XV and had a new trailer (proved false), now the rumor is that its cancelled. So, in conclusion, this games existence is as much a mystery as the game's content.
In other news, where's my Kingdom Hearts 3? No, I don't want to play another portable game, give me the real thing!

FUCK KINGDOM HEARTS 3!!! THERE I SAID IT! I'm sorry, man It's just that this was shaping up to be such a good game, the one thing that would reaffirm my belief and trust in Square-what ever the last word is now. The first good and original idea Square has had since Final Fantasy X, (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BRINGING UP XIII) and all everyone keeps going on about is "Kingdom Hearts 3!" it's not even that good, sure the first one was, but the rest just made the narrative boring, unoriginal and convoluted. Final Fantasy Versus XIII had everything going for it, just...........damn it. Ok I've said my piece, and i guess i still have the Shin Megami Tensei games to keep me a JRPG fan. Good-bye Final Fantasy, you were awesome while you lasted.lancar said:
It's just a rumor guys. I say it's a good thing if it is either cancelled or not. If it's not, people will have something to look up...for a certain non certain time in the non specific futur. If it is, then we can put it behind us.
Really? I read on Wikipedia that 9 was developed alongside 8.bluegate said:
OT: That's a shame. It looked kind of interesting. If the rumour's true then hopefully they're just making it XV instead. That'd make sense, the 'XIII' part of it was pretty much just a namesake.
I love how everyone on this site is just believing the crap spewing from this artical, hilarious.
