I had actually forgotten about this game. I'm more interested in if Type-0 is still coming or not.

Paradoxes man. L'cie, falcie, Chocolina, Snow, Serah, Knoll, etc. They all are terrible.
yep. And it has many "events" but the actually gameplay looks boring to me as well. Other games have run right past it.
And the moving portraits? lol.

Looks like KH1 combat to me. That isn't a good thing in my books. BbS at least did something pretty neat with its combat style.
To be honest, I didn't care for Versus much prior to that trailer's release, and the combat in it didn't wow me over. I hope they improve on it.
True, but that's because they haven't announced any new console games at all. FFXIII-2 could only be released relatively fast because it could re-use a lot of assets and had help by tri-Ace. Let's wait and see how they are gonna handle FFXV.

I would think they already had and just didn't tell anyone if it weren't for that Versus XIII themed DLC for Theatrhythm.
They've already sunk too much time and money into it. They have to finish it now.

You wouldn't know what BBS did that was neat if you haven't played it.
What they showed in that trailer was attacking and magic.
That's it, that's obviously not all there's going to be.

...as a full length CG feature film
I think Square will take both options
Not sure if EGM were supposed to say which games Square is showing at E3. E-mail clearly said not to post the invite online - which I'm assuming meant the games discussed as well. But yeah, it doesn't mention Versus XIII for appointments, but it is still very possible it will show up in some shape or form.
Basically. They still do good work on handhelds. They just can't seem to develop a PS3 game.
Isn't AC2 great? It improved on AC1 in just about every area, and the glyph puzzles, and the hidden stuff in them, were like an entire hidden game. (If you haven't already, Google for Irvine Tomoe's FAQ on those puzzles; excellent commentary.)
The way SE is going these days, they'll probably release a high-quality artbook after the game comes out, so hopefully it'll contain that kind of thing. Type-0's is great and really fills you in on the background (and that's one game that needs it). I wish they'd go back and make something like this for FFXII, sill (for me) SE's gold standard.
Never said anything about not criticizing it. Also never said anything about insulting anybody. Your initial post just reminded me of a similar thing that happened in the Bayonetta 2 thread where a few posters were celebrating it was "cancelled." If you had said what you said above, I would not have commented.
Why exactly? 6 years of effort and money are a lot to throw away because some people are impatient.
That makes me sad. I can wait.
If Bayonetta 2 really got cancelled, people can look forward to a new IP by Kamiya. If Versus XIII get's cancelled, SE will make another FF game :/Never said anything about not criticizing it.

At the very least I'm looking forward to Bayo 2.
There's a point where you should cut your losses. But I understand the need for Square to get this out, considering how much hype has been surrounding it.

They should just get Visual Works to make a feature film out of it. They really don't seem to give a shit about the actual gameplay, seeing how anytime they have talked about the game it's about the main character and story.
Going ahead and making a movie would shut us all up once and for all and give us an opportunity to laugh at Nomura's storytelling some more.

Canceling sounds like a better idea now.

I seriously don't care anymore. I'm a Huge RPG fan and an even bigger Square fan, but they make terrible terrible products nowadays.
The quality is not there anymore. Vs13 is way off my radar.
I'm still surprised people care. How many times has this game been expected to be shown, then let you down, ask yourself. People don't do this to yourself.

AC and CoD games released since Versus XIII was announced:
Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed II: Discovery
Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Call of Duty 3
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Fun fact: the Mass Effect trilogy started after Versus XIII's announcement and concluded before its release.
The game is such a train wreck that people just can't look away.

I recently finished ME3 and Gears 3, that's two trilogies that were announced in the same period as Versus.
And look at all the new quality IP's that started after Versus and got at least one sequel released till now. It's a big list of quality stuff that Versus has to compete with.
I can definitely see Versus being high quality as many other IP's but then comparing the development cycles, it seems as they only work on this title when they have nothing else to do.

sigh, frankly not surprising. Wonder if its time to cancel my amazon preorder from 2006....

Well, gust makes pretty solid little niche games, the other two just churn out shit so it's not exactly shocking.
Squares releases are always all over the board though, they don't seem dedicated to anything or improving anything, just randomly throwing shit at the wall, remakes/ports and whatever they can do to exploit uematsus back catalogue.
We need a list along the lines of the classic 'things that happened whilst DNF was in development' list.

Just scrap it and make kingdom hearts 3. They seem pretty good about pushing games in that series out.
What interest rate are you getting on your investment? Lol

I'd certainly hope there's more to combat than that.
You didn't play BbS? You should! It's one of the few KH games I like because of D-Links/Focus/decks, and playing on harder modes makes the game more fun. Command Board is really addictive as well. I think I spent more time with that than the actual game. :lol
I also get the feeling that you really do need to experience BbS to get everything else in entries before and after it. It's basically KH0.
This is what I think they should do. Of course, uh, that might not be a good idea either. :lolBocoDragon said:...as a full length CG feature film
It's really good. I was considering making an LTTP thread, but I decided against it since I finished the game, and my OP for it would probably be lengthy because I'd want to make room to discuss languages employed in the music and dialogue. If there's a making of video for the soundtrack, I'd like to see it. Thanks for the info with regards to the FAQ. I'm skimming through the intro and it seems interesting.Dunan said:
I unfortunately didn't switch languages during my playthrough, so I'm not sure how the other languages fared. I have a few friends who loved playing it in Italian, though. The language switching throughout the game was quite welcome to me (especially the post-assassinations bits). I had a few friends who casually slipped in Italian words in English conversation while we were growing up, so it didn't seem out of the ordinary to me.
Huge improvement on AC1's mechanics. I wonder if the other games in the series follow the same pattern of improvement.
Did Type-0's include structural assets and stuff? And yeah, I liked FFXII's structural work a lot; I probably stood and looked around for quite a while in that game.
Yeah, I wonder about that...

How?
It looks like most classy and restrained FF game when it comes to designs.
So please explain this.
