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.
