Is it pretty much confirmed that there's zero chance of this game releasing this year?
Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced in 2006. It is now 2012. These are facts.

No. Actually, this year sounds more promising than the years before this, to me.
Japan first it wouldn't be fiscally.

Right now I'm more concerned with what the OT tag should be than the game itself. I'm torn between Noctis Orgy, the Waiting Game, and No-Mura Sequels. I don't want any It's About Damn Time lines.

Romanes Eunt Domus
XIII and XIV (in the West).

No. They often start their hype machine about 6 months before release. If they haven't done that by E3 2012, then I'd say it's doubtful, but at the moment it's still very much a possibility. Maybe they'll start hyping it up once Kingdom Hearts 3D is out.
They released Type-0 and XIII-2 within ~2 months of each other. If Versus is released this year, it'll be closer to the end of it, so I don't see what the problem would be.
Uhh.. what? No. They are just doing cutscenes different to the way they've usually handled them in FF games, so some cutscenes have been redone.
Nomura said that the world is completely explorable 6 months ago.
They share a similar mythology, both are a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis saga. though, given how XIII-2 sold, I'm not sure if they'll want to leave the name as Versus XIII.
0.13% chance

Seeing that Duke Nukem Forever was actually releasing, Lord Nomura-sama decided to give us another mythical piece of vapourware to look to.
obviously, based gaben has a running bet with yoichi wada

Well making CG cutscenes take a lot of time

Something something uses some of the lore something something goes against some of the themes or gamplay or something set up in 13, thus the Versus. I think they also just wanted to set up another franchise with lots of spin-offs like 7. After so many years their reasons are pretty foggy, but I remember it sounding interesting at the time.
It's the only explanation.
They can't be this dumb. I keep thinking that they have to just rename it FFXV, or at least FF: Something Else. The American audience outside of the really hardcore are not going to know what in hell this name means. It sounds like a fighting game's name. If they made a fighting game in the XIII universe, then they should name that FF: Versus XIII. This is not that. It should not have that name.

Would I even want to play a game that's been in development hell for so long?

Not sure why you're comparing, because six years is different from six Valve-years.
yep,going by the 13-2 price drop in the uk (25 bucks) the game bombed extremely hard,and vs13 will even more,no matter the quality
I feel the same way.
Yes, more promising, the last thing we've ever seem from this game is 1 year ago,,,,
My prediction: Square Enix will hold a big conference this year to talk about FF XV & FFvsXIII, they talk about how both games are revolutionary to the series and that the company has been making them for the last 5-6 years, then it's trailer time, FFvsXIII is shown first, fantastic as usual, minblowing CG with great HD graphics and old school map, the trailer ends and the logo of FFvsXIII is shown, the logo stays there for 10 seconds and suddenly something is happening to it, the letters and numbers are all scrapped and they reform FFXV, and beneath it, FFvsXIII is FFXV gentlemen, April 1 2013 Japan, applauds everywhere (applauds for the game not the date)

All games end to "bomb" (ie becoming really cheap) in the UK, except for Call of Duty and Nintendo games...

Holy shit I think your right. That was at that SE event last year where they showed the Behemoth in Shinjuku trailer. Didnt they also announce FF13-2 at the same event. Wow, amazing how time flies.
Why would Square Enix do anything that makes sense? The only team that has made any decent FF game in recent years is the KH team and they're working on FF:V13. Having said that, we've had a handful of crappy KH games, 2 crappy FF 'mainline' games, ports and fighters. We've had 1 fantastic game in the last 6 years and that was KH:BbS.

I know that's the date I'd choose if I was this joke of a developer.
At least Tomb Raider should give them some more money to piss away on development, am I right?

Isn't it really common for prices to fall quickly in the UK?

Agreed.
What decent FF game has the KH team made in recent years?

The gameplay trailer from January 2011 eased a lot of the fears I had for the game. The combat system looks like the best since X-2 and the world looks big, pretty and HD.
I'm still not a fan of the BSB party. I mean, Noctis himself is fine but his entourage looks so generic and forgettable that it hurts to look at them. That said, the plot sounds very interesting to me so if the backstreet boys end up having cool personalities then it won't be so bad having to look at them for the entire game.

Why this year? Because of the end of the world prophecies?
They were all for a Versus release date.
If only Valve Time had a general formula.

FFXIII-3 will be released before it.
