The Official Final Fantasy Versus XIII Thread

[SlySonji™]

Below are some trailers and videos of a very anticipated title, Final Fantasy Versus XIII













Final Fantasy Versus XIII is the next installment in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. It takes place in the same universe as Final Fantasy XIII. The main difference of the games is the gameplay. Final Fantasy Versus XIII is an Action/Adventure game. Something completely new to the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII takes place in a dark, gloomy unknown city ruled by a young prince named Noctis. He is fighting to defend the last remaining Crystal, the mythos that binds the Fabula Nova Crystallis compiliation.

Noctis owns a kingdom which is in the middle of a cold war with an opposing side. He has been seen battling troops which are presumably from his enemies fighting for the last remaining crystal, using multiple weapons ranging from lances to swords and even a machine gun to fight off the attacking hordes.

Later he is seen speaking with a girl named Stella, who is a part of an opposing nation also presumably after the crystal. The story is said to be much like Romeo and Juliet in that two people both members of opposing families fall in love. Noctis appears very shy around Stella but is not an "emo boy", as Tetsuya Nomura put it. He is also friends with a group of people showing classic Final Fantasy traits; a man with a gun, a man who will attack with his fists and an intellectual looking man.
Aside from his friends and enemies attacking him at the gates, another mysterious man is seen attempting to also steal the crystal. He has only been shown briefly, but wears a distinct white cloak and wields powerful magic. His allegiance is unknown at this time.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII has no solid release date, but development is well underway and gameplay has been shown briefly in scans which are sadly not of the best quality. The battle system is being designed by the Kingdom Hearts / Advent Children team, so it is fair to expect something a long the lines of the style of fighting seen in their previous projects. The city shown in the trailers so far has been modelled after real life areas in Japan and will contain elements of today’s world including issues like Global Warming. The story itself is heavily inspired by the works Shakespeare as quoted in multiple trailers: "Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so" is a famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet. This line is basically the notion that good and bad is a perspective of an individual. It is likely the game will deal with this outlook on things.

If it does, at least we can use it to settle whether or not 360 held back FF13.

[SlySonji™]

They would have to make it a smaller game. I hope they don't, they are going back to their FF7 routes and making it semi-open world.

THE 3RD VIDEO WAS POINTLESS

[SlySonji™]

Did you come here to troll this thread? If so, please leave. The 3RD video was an after of the before one. There are some small graphical changes.

We can all agree this game will possibly have the best graphics of any game to come out this generation.

yeah i noticed that first time i saw it, btw versus aint comin this year because ffxiv is coming later on and yoichi wada is a greedy whore.

[SlySonji™]

Nomura said that ALOT of stuff might be shown at E3 2010. Wada is a greedy whore. Nomura should take over. It still might come out this year, Versus is a completely different development team than XIV. VXIII is the Kingdom Hearts/Crisis Core team.

yeah even if there not done by the same dev teams though greedy ol' wada wouldnt want them to be released around the same months otherwise it would affect sales. and nomura should to what sakaguchi done but he should do it with sony instead.

Affect sales? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It would be perfect. Both games would be bought. Its like releasing a collection. It will sell like hot cakes.

dude unless there bundled together it highly unlikely, and even if they are bundled together the audiences for the 2 games are very different,versus more of an action game like kingdom hearts and XIV more like a traditional one. it highly unlikely they will be released in the same time period and even if they did... it will sell like shit

[SlySonji™]

If it has two different audiences, it won't affect sales. ONE audience will buy Versus ANOTHER will buy XIV.

yeah but here both final fantasy games and wada has already said that XIV is coming Q4 2010 and it would be an insanely stupid business move on their part if they released both in same time period. also how the hell can we expect versus to come out in 2010 when we never ever got a solid official release date confirmation, we didnt even get a release date window.

[SlySonji™]

It was originally supposed to be released in '08.. I read somewhere that for now, its 2010 in Japan. THATS WHAT E3 IS FOR.

that 08 date was never confirmed by squeenix it was just speculation, and wherever you read it doesnt matter unless its an official confirmation. yes exactly thats what E3 is for so we can find out the date not make up silly dates.

[SlySonji™]

Made up? Versus has been in development for 4 YEARS. A 2010 release date is very believable. You can look up the article if you like.

look this is my last reply to you if they release 2 final fantasy games in the same time period they will lose money, end of.

[SlySonji™]

Lol. You contradicted yourself. Badly.

[Mental_Gear]

Just because it was announced 4 years ago doesn't mean they've been hard at work on it (see also: Half Life 2 Episode 3) - they have many other projects on the go, and FF14 Online info is being released faster than V13 info.

[SlySonji™]

ITS TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS. JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE OTHER PROJECTS DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. ITS TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS. And thats because I'm sure Squeenix wants to keep Versus close.

[Mental_Gear]

I just find it ridiculously odd that we've had so little info about it, barring Nomura's 'promises'.

[SlySonji™]

Supposedly, he will release A LOT of info on Versus at E3 or this year. Only Nomura will tell.

[Mental_Gear]

If one of the pieces of information is 'It's going to 360' you could tell beforehand as he'll be crying.

However, I get the impression SE will wait until the TGS for their big announcements.

[SlySonji™]

Nomura will leave Squeenix for Team Ico if it happens -prays-
