Your Realistic Expectations for Final Fantasy Versus XIII (FFXV) E3 Showing

I understand where you are coming from so let me elaborate:

1: It will be shown at TGS or more likely at a special event so that it is the center of attention.

2: SE isn't the SE of old. They have shown gross incompetence in their business practices this past generation I would not believe anything that Nomura or Kitase or Hashimoto say about this game. They may be dead serious at the time of saying it but they have "cried wolf" to many times for me to believe anything until I can hold it in my hands.

In other words, SE has screwed the pooch so many times in so many ways this past decade I automatically assume gross incompetence on their part.

1: I think personally E3 is a far bigger event than TGS, especially as Final Fantasy is huge in Europe and pretty big in the US. It's also the first time PS4 is being shown 'in the flesh' and has the most press coverage of any worldwide game event.

2: I understand this and agree with you to a degree, but the game has been shown sveral times in the past and I doubt after all the hype they have been drumming up, that Square will stand its audience up again.

It's hard but we all have good reason to be optimistic this time.
 
- FFXV.

- Exclusive To PS4.

- Apology For the Delay.

- Nomura won't be on stage.

- Biggest FF yet.

- KH3 for ps4 is in development.

- Gameplay trailer with CGI start/end.

- Coming at Launch.

- No demo for the people.

Realistic or optimistic? They need some kind of user base beyond the year 1 PS4 base.
 
Versus renamed XV. PS4 exclusive due to co-development with Sony.

That is my realistic view.

My dream scenario is the same thing as above, except it comes with a launch release date and Square also shows a new teaser of the Agni's Philosophy world with "Final Fantasy XVI, coming 2015" at the end.
 
Re branded as FFXV, PS4 exclusive, Holiday 2015.

So I have been thinking about this for a while and I would like to separate what people are hoping to see of Final Fantasy Versus XIII showing up and what your realistic expectation is.

My expectations for Versus would be to remain as such, be shown for PS3/PS4 or so.

My expectations for FFXV would be for an open world rpg, directed and written by Matsuno, with Ito as the co-director (to help Matsuno from going mad) and as battle and job designer.

Oh wait, you said realistic, scrap the above then, Versus will be renamed as XV and it will be a PS3/PS4 game, maybe also on more platforms, but with nothing else special from the little it was previously known.
 
Realistic? It won't be there.

Optimistic?

- The same old scene of Noctis and Stella meeting at the party, except that scene is now a fully pre-rendered CG. Plus the other scenes that were already CG. And more 30 seconds of new CG scenes.
- Renamed to FFXV.
- Releasing fall 2014 on PS3.

Wishful thinking?

- No CG whatsoever at all. 10 minutes of in-game gameplay.
- Releasing worldwide Q1 2014 on PS3.
- Whatever name they want.
 
I expect it come out mid next year.

One thing though, do you think it'll retain the KH-like system? I kinda doubt it fully would. Maybe make it more like FFXII's with a mix of XIII's.
 
it isn't coming out any time soon obviously because lightning returns and xiv are coming this year. next year will be a horrible year to release it because you need time in advance to know what platforms it can sell on and who knows where it can sell right now. i read someone saying type-0 hd port, that makes a lot of sense actually. that'll be the '14 title.

they'll have a good cgi trailer ready to show it off. final fantasy xv coming 2015 to ps4 (of course come '15 we all know that it is gonna be a multiplat on whatever platforms it can sell on. trust me im an expect)

edit: actually they wont say 2015 thats too far into the future. itll just say coming soon and we can begin the waiting game again
 
I expect a good trailer (about 3/4 minutes) with CGI and gameplay footage. Name will change but it won't be FFXV. Will be released early 2014 for PS3 and PS4.

About FFXV, it will be another thing, possibly based on Agni's but with some changes. Maybe a PS4 exclusive.
 
Renamed FFXV.
10 minute gameplay demo.
Agni's Philosophy level visuals at 1080p/30fps.
Available at PS4 launch.
 
Oh this one?

"Final Fantasy "VERSUS XIII" pre-production began almost 4 years ago. The reason why its taken so long is due to a number of things, including manpower/resources being re-allocated to help finish Crystal Tools, work on FFXIV's re-working and work on the Luminous Engine. The game is NO LONGER AN ACTION-RPG. Its more in-line with traditional Final Fantasy and has been described to me as a combination of FFXII and the Classic ATB. seen in the older games. Still a Playstation 3 exclusive (you can thank/hate Sony for that) and is slated to release this Winter in Japan and North America (sorry Europe.) The game being shown for PS4 is NOT FFVXIII. Voice Recording sessions for the Japanese version have been happening in waves for awhile now, and actually finished up last month. Sessions for the English voice cast are slated to start sometime in July, although some work is being done in advance preparation for the E3 Trailer."

I thought it was considered BS. Guess we shall see soon enough.

It is BS. This same guy on GameFAQs, called psxphreak, said SE would show up at the Xbox One conference. They didn't. He pretty much disappeared from the board at that point once we started laughing at him after the conference. Ignore this trash.

...

Moving on. My prediction. I don't 100% expect Versus to show up at E3, but I'll give it a 60-70% chance. So I'll say most likely, but there's still a lot of room for doubt.

I'll just say, the next time it shows up, at E3 or otherwise, here's what's going to happen:

1. It'll still remain PS3 exclusive. I think I'm one of the few people who's going to say this. I think people are being too swayed by rumors, and although "it does make sense" for the rumors to be true considering the game's silence, I don't buy it. I still think it's a possibility, but if I had to flip a coin I'd still say it's PS3 exclusive. Not multiplat. And not cross gen. The reason I say this is because what they've said for Versus and what they've said for their next game game doesn't really add up to point at Versus being a next gen game.

2. It will get renamed. Agito XIII got renamed to Type-0, so I think it'll be renamed to something other than Versus XIII. But the rename might be minor. It may simply drop the "XIII" and just become Final Fantasy Versus. Or it may become XV, or it may be renamed something else entirely. Nobody would've guessed that Agito XIII would've gotten a name like Type-0. I'm going to say the XV name is the least likely, but not by too much. The reason I say this is because it has been said in the past that Versus is not a main title because they wanted to do something different from a mainline title in Versus, although it still borrows some things from classic FF. This mentality may have changed, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it didn't.

3. It will release in 2014. At the earliest it will release in Q1 2014.

4. To add more, SE will announce a next gen FF for PS4, and probably Xbox One. The title Shinji Hashimoto was talking about at the Sony conference was definitely a new title, and it will be in development for next gen specifically using the Luminous Engine. In essence, we will get both Versus and a next gen FF.
 
Realistic: Versus = March 2014 on PS4.

Optimistic: Versus = PS4 Launch 2013.

I would be okay if either was the verdict.

As far as the E3 showing: 5+ minute CG trailer, 5+ minute gameplay/in-game cutscenes, re-branded to replace the XIII nonsense.

Granted, I have very low expectations on this showing up at all. Too many years of letdown. Although, BlazingDarkness does have a list of compelling evidence.

We shall see...
 
Realistically speaking, it will be at E3 (in some form) and on the PS3. Bat shit insane speaking, it will be announced for the PS4 as a day 1 launch title.
 
Why do you guys keep doing this to yourselves seriously. Hoping for a release on Xbone as well just to see a new meltdown.
 
This is what will happen.

Just don't give a fuck how fancy it turns out, be it PS3 or PS4.
Seven years. Seven fucking years!

Yep. It's funny... in those 7 years I'm at a new job, with a few other colleagues that watched the Versus XIII reveal video with me back in 2006. I'm curious to see what they think.

On another note... it would be pretty darn cool to the older scenes redone and up-scaled. Maybe I'm just the only one that thinks this way though. :P

Most realistic expectation here. I'll go with this.
 
Another CG trailer with little bits of gameplay throughout. I would love a gameplay demo though

As a whole I'm expecting Versus to let me down compeltely

My thoughts exactly.
 
If it DOES become XV they will have to strip the Etro-stuff away. Unless they find a way to make it work.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Ugh, somehow 'doesn't' snuck in there, lol. No idea how that happened...

Anyway, I kind of just expect it to be called "FF Versus" without the XIII.

I rewatched the PS Meeting last night and it seems like whatever they're working on for PS4 will be shown at E3.

I would like for this to be real.
