Versus was announced 6 years ago, last year

[Zealkin]

Upcoming news about Versus (in which Square manages to piss off the entire fandom).

Versus is no longer Versus it is now titles Final Fantasy XIII-3.
Lightning makes a reappearance as Noctis' non-playable love interest.
Most of the story focusses on the love triangle between Noctis, Stella and Lightning.
Fang and Vanille do not appear.
In a secret ending to the game in some weird space time continuum shift Serah is shown to be alive doing batter with a man in a red leather jacket. It is Genesis. She kills him and the game is the final entry to the Compilation of FF7.

Two weeks after its release they announce Final Fantasy XIII-3 Versus Final Mix+ in desperate attempt to save themselves from bankruptcy.

Lol. This made my day. I believed most of it until you started talking about Genesis

I remember the very first trailer I saw for Versus and being really impressed and genuinely excited about it. I remember thinking, if there's only one game I end up buying a PS3 for then that'll be it, that was about 5 odd years ago and now, it's just, I give up. Really, by the time it's been released my enthusiasm will have completely gone, it's just far too ridiculously long a wait.

I think that you should get a job at SE coz they'll love your ideas

 

[Makoeyes987]

....Holy shit. I got my BA and they still didn't get this game out.

I can't believe... it's been that long. Jesus Christ. Talk about vaporware.

 

[Ghost X]

Lol. It reminds some of you of what you have accomplished in 6 years, where as it reminds me of what I haven't. FML .

 

[Kai Schulen]

oh mai gawd u gais nawktis is ttly teh bestest fanal funtasty caracter evur so hott.


So, I've had my laptop long before Versus ever was announced. I'm starting to suspect that I will still be using this half dead laptop for another 6 years and even then Versus will still be in "production."

voice acting news

Lance Bass reported to be cast as Noctis
Mena Suvari has been cast as Stella
Hedy Buress replaces Ali Hillis as Lightning

to fully understand the scope of the story, Square will be releasing a series of ten novellas only available in Japan. The canonocity of these novellas will be rendered obsolete by an accompanying Ultimania released after the game itself (which is explains the TRUE narrative ingenuity of FFXIII-3) which will also be rendered completely obsolete by another ultimania released subsequently after the Japan exclusive Final Mix+.

good to see you've been practicing your trollface rishi

Final Mix+ will save SE from impending bankruptcy by including a bonus disc featuring a "trailer for an upcoming FFVII remake".

SE will later reveal that it was just a test of their new graphics engine

dum dum dummmmmmmmmb

^LOL, makes me wonder if a remake is really in the works. Probably gonna be on the PS4 though.

Saw the most recent trailer of Versus, is Noctis really wearing a shirt and cargo shorts? He really will stick out if he's ever gonna be in a Dissidia game.

I think it's funny how much of a fanbase Noctis has already when we know jack shit about his character. As long as he looks pretty and can pull swords out of his ass, that's all that matters these days.

 

[ForceStealer]

I almost hope Square makes him a wholly unlikable twat that treats Stella like shit just to troll the fangirls...who I suppose will probably like him anyway, now that I think about it.

 

[OneWingedDemon]

Dude, his posse has a fanbase.

 

[Max Payne]

Well if the trailers are anything to go by Noctis is going to have the personality of a steel plank.

 

[Zee]

this game is such a sausage fest

and they all look like twats

deep sigh

 

[Max Payne]

tbh that one scene where they're all lined up together

they look like fucking fashion models

dnw

 

[Zee]

abercrombie & fitch: the game

 

[Max Payne]

Don't you mean FAAAAAAAAABULOUS the game

 

[OneWingedDemon]

There's old people in this game, it doesn't seem to be populated solely by teenagers. That's a plus in my book.

Square protagonists don't have chubby friends. Or short friends. Or acne-ridden friends.

cid? barret? sazh? steiner? basch?

people over 30 being in an ff game isn't groundbreaking

the backstreet boys however = no thanks

 

[ForceStealer]

Well rather than "solely" by teenagers, I think she meant more, no teenagers. Noctis looked like the youngest and he...seems over 20. And I'll agree with OWD on that point, that that's a good thing.

Part of why I like FF7 so much is that the characters are actually old enough to HAVE backstories.

 

[Masamune]

I love how one of them's just Angeal... with a beard. Must have took Nomura as long to design him as it did Noctis.

 

[ForceStealer]

I like the dude in the suit that looks like Ringo Starr

 

[Tetsujin]

Angeal is Angeal with a beard.
