Their Western efforts would probably be shown at Microsoft's conference like E3 2011. I kinda got the impression they went with Microsoft for Tomb Raider to rival Sony with Uncharted.

Uncharted is an exclusive game,Tomb Raider is multiplatform.The comparison pretty much ends there.

 

[RustyNails]

And if XIII-3 shows up instead...... ugh.

Wada and Toriyama want this more than anything in the world. You know it.

They've been co-marketing TR with Microsoft and Hitman with Sony.

Isn't there supposed to be another Nomura interview in Famitsu this week? If so then in a few hours we should be getting the leaks.

I doubt there will be anything. It's an article on KH3D.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Anyone have the full version of Kagari's avatar? Is it concept art or fan art? I'll take some new Verses concept art, beggars can't be choosers!

It's fan art.

It's not true... March 31st.

I've posted this in the thread with the other April Fools junk.

 

[Himynameischris]

ohh damn ok sorry

 

[Kyoufu]

That link makes me weep for several reasons.

 

[H_Prestige]

SE can go fuck themselves.

 

[DarknessTear]

I guess it's an April Fools joke, no worries.

 

[StuBurns]

I'm running a bath, and am strategically placing a toaster on the side, see you in the next life friends...

EDIT: Damn, nearly ended myself over an April Fools gag, nice work. What makes it worse is I've seen that scan plenty of times.

lol sorry I forget it's april fools tomorrow.

 

[StuBurns]

lol sorry I forget it's april fools tomorrow.

I actually have a terrible history of falling for april fools gags. A couple of years ago, my mate was pretending to freak out on skype and asked me to come and help him on the come down, he assumed I was joking with him when I said I was leaving, and I had to get all the way over to the east end of London to his flat. I can still feel the embarrassment when I realized.

 

[Zwei]

This should've tipped you off:

E3 is definitely going to be a big event for Versus fans

 

[badcrumble]

Careful, that link also contains a magazine scan.

 

[Kagari]

-_-

Obvious April fools is OBVIOUS. Famitsu news leaks on Tuesdays, not Saturdays... come on guys.

eh.

 

[i-Lo]

With regards to April Fools I feel like telling SE, "Too soon".

At this point, is it even realistic to expect the game to come out this gen?

 

[Pureauthor]

You guys seriously need to start tempering your expectations for this game.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

http://gematsu.com/2012/04/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-music-coming-to-theatrhythm

eh.

This may be real, but it still feels like I've been April fooled.

Oh and Versus bringing in the money even before it's released! Game of the forever.

 

[Labadal]

I'd be happy with a solid arpg. Not overhyping myself anymore. This also makes the wait so much easier.

I don't really trust info like this coming from SQEX NA. If it was like Nomura's twitter(which he doesn't have), than I would have been really excited

 

[Auto_aim1]

"Soon can mean so many things really"

So they have no idea about it.

 

[DJIzana]

I just want June to come by faster for E3. Even if Versus isn't there, there's a chance... if not then at least I have other stuff to look forward to. ><

 

[0 HP]

i don't care, let them take their time. i've been let down by FF so many times now...telling them to rush a game out the door is pure stupidity imo. ff13 took how many years? 5? it could have used another 2 or 3 at the least.

 

[Satoho]

Excerpt from http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/2012/03/31/nomura-versus-to-be-released-in-installments.html
"He also says that, after experimenting with DLC in Final Fantasy XIII-2, SE are keen to make regular use of downloadable content and are looking at releasing the last two thirds of Versus as download-only. He does not mention how much these will cost."

My theory on Versus FFXIII being released on the coming PS4 is now certain, even in the case of a last-minute release on the PS3, the Full Edition of the game (packed with all DLCs) should be available on the PS4, and that's how I'll see it >_<

A mid-gen game if you will, Twilight Princess's Gamecube-Wii handshake.

 

[Zoe]

That was April Fool's.

Yeah pretty much this. Got a decent backlog going, no need to rush this.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Thoughts on whether we'll see the game release this year?

 

[Perfo]

Probably December in Japan, Q1 2013 here in Europe.

 

[Kyoufu]

Thoughts on whether we'll see the game release this year?

My thoughts:

Nope.

 

[H_Prestige]

Why does this thread keep getting bumped for no reason. I got excited for a second.

No, this game won't be out anywhere this year. Even next year is a huge stretch. At most we'll get another update or a new trailer this year.

Thoughts on whether we'll see the game release this year?

My magic 8-ball started weeping, then threw itself out the window when I asked it.

 

[Kaizer]

Thoughts on whether we'll see the game release this year?

Nope. Q1 2013 in Japan, late Summer or Fall 2013 for US & Europe. I've lost all hope with Square Enix and the lack of Versus XIII news has absolutely numbed to getting hype for this game anymore. I'll be back on board when they finally announce a release date.

If it was anything noteworthy there would be a new thread. I've never seen good or exciting news come from a bump.

And I think if it was coming out this year we'd have already heard at least something, even if they weren't in full on marketing mode yet.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Thoughts on whether we'll see the game release this year?

I thought it would be Fall-Late fall in JPN early 2013 for US, simultaneous voice recording etc.

XIII had its re-reveal at E3 in 2009 (with info on the paradigm system and such, and I think a 'winter 2009' release tease, although that might not have been until TGS).

No. SE began pimping FFXIII hard in 2008 in Japan, about a year before release. Ditto for FFXIII-2.

 

[Gbraga]

The worst part is that my hype is still high as fuck, it was the reason I bought a PS3 in the first place back in the day, and my body is still ready

 

[laika09]

There were some magazine features over the winter and a demo in April with ACC, but I don't know that I'd call it 'pimping hard' until the summer.

It's unlikely, sure, but I don't know that it's out of the question until SE shows their hand.

 

[Perfo]

Square Enix doesn't have a single hit for christmas this year in Japan, and they're not going to skip an entire season without one. Versus XIII is certainly coming at that time.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Spring/Summer 2013 Worldwide.

Good luck with that.

They showed a new trailer and announced the demo in late 2008. Pretty sure was the biggest promotional explosion since the initial announcement at E3 2006.
