FF Versus XIII, Release date + Platforms Options

[heisenman]

IIRC FFVII demo on PS3 wasn't actually running on PS3.

To be on topic, I hope Versus will be released on 360 even though I'll be getting the PS3 version.
People shouldn't be forced to buy another console to play games if they already have one.

Exactly. However, Satou is right. Whatever system(s) they release it on, folks are just going to have to deal with it. Besides, wikipedia will always be at our disposal...even if it takes away from the actual experience

Yeah, I've done that for a couple games and movies. lol More because they were games/movies I didn't want to be bothered to play/sit through. I'm actually semi-hoping for a 360 release. Just because those people who sent the death threats are fucking retarded and I'd love to see them crushed again.

[Spirit_Master_X]

People actually sent death threats to SE? what the hell lol.

[Satou Asahira]

Yeah, to quote myself from earlier in this topic:

Back on topic, FFXIII was supposed to be PS3 exclusive but then it came to 360 and Yoichi Wada's, current President and CEO of Square-Enix, Twitter account received death threats from fucking INSANE fans. That may discourage a 360 port unfortunately. People need to fucking take a chill pill. Console wars are retarded. Honestly if I were Wada, I'd port it to spite those people. But not sure how smart that is from a business perspective. I'm just a douche.

If you want to read the article in question: http://xboxrepublic.top-forum.net/the-cons...fxiii-t5844.htm

Really, it makes me sad to be a gamer and a human. What the fuck? lol Deal with it people. They're allowed to do what they want. If you someday have your own game company or take over another, then you can decide which games go where. Until then, shut up. lol I mean, if I had bought a PS3 JUST for FFXIII, I would have been a little upset. But not to the point of where I send death threats. Besides, there are some other cool games on the PS3. After getting the game I really wanted, a whole door would have opened up to a bunch of games I wouldn't have previously considered getting.

[Spirit_Master_X]

ROFLMAO!!!

Wow...that's crazy. I can't even comment. All I can do is send Wada a bulletproof vest and wish him luck =/
Why do I have the feeling that sooner or later there will be gun fights between hardcore PS3 and 360 fans? lol

Back on topic. My impressions of what I've seen so far about the game.

Any fantasy game, doesn't even have to be FF, that is dark is a win in my book. I like the art style Nomura has going for this game. The concept intrigues me. One modern like city, with modern technology, fighting hordes of "not so modern" civilizations outside its walls, protecting that one thing that is keeping their technology up and running is kinda cool. In the full length HD trailer, what really won me over was the scene where you see all these government looking guys sitting around that large table...kinda makes you wonder about the so called "conspiracys" we have today.

From what hear, the game will be open world. Apparently you will be able to travel long distances by foot, by car, or by whatever. Search for items spread all across the entire map, like Oblivion or Fallout 3.
You guys seen those leaked gameplay trailers right? the part where you see Noctis fight against the behemoth looking monster in the middle of the city? My question is...was that the REAL battle system.
I remember how the guys behind FF13 released a kick-a** battle trailer, claiming it was the REAL battle system...but it turned out false <_<;
Another thing that intrigues me is Noctis fighting against Stella...like...she looks so innocent...but she fights Noctis because she HAS to. Hmm...interesting.

[Satou Asahira]

Yeah, I love modern dystopia settings. What little I know of the plot sounds awesome. I really wanna know about the battle system too. FFXIII has some interesting mechanics but as you said, it's not as free as they seemed to have claimed it would be. Since Versus is going to be an action game, that leaves it open for more cinematic combat that you actually have full control of. I still like XIII from what I've played though.

[heisenman]

I wonder how much of KH mechanics will be present in the gameplay.
I hope very little because it's a subpar action game with rpg elements.

I agree with the first half of that sentence. I imagine it's gonna be an entirely new battle system but that remains to be seem.

[Spirit_Master_X]

I remember reading a while back the devs stated the system will be based off of KHs with a new spice to it. And apparently they will take that same battle system and use it in KH3.

XIII is too linear for me, as far dungeon crawling goes. The story is cool atleast, even if its a short one. Has to be the only FF game that I've beaten in a three day period <_<;
FFX took me about a week. FF7 took three weeks, as I was trying to get every little nook and cranny lol. Haven't played FF8 that long cause I only rented it once. FFX-2, I quit cause it sucked. FF12, I didn't play for more than 24 hours because everything just didn't interest me enough. FF9 took me a good six weeks or so.

Just goes to show that devs likes to pay more attention to the CG and graphics than the actual gameplay. Give me a game where its graphics isn't as good, with better gameplay, solid story, and solid characters and I will be just fine.

[Satou Asahira]

Yeah, I play all the games at different paces. Depends on how cool they are/whether or not I'm playing any other games/whether or not I'm doing something special for them. IE: 100% playthroughs, making videos about them, etc etc. I really do agree with you on the gameplay/story over graphics. Hell I still play SNES games that I like more than modern games. Sure, the graphics and music were good at the time and it was impressive what they managed to pull off on that system, but they're just plain fun with an awesome storyline.
I hope Versus gets the best of both worlds.

[Spirit_Master_X]

Yeah same here. Guess we'll have to wait till the year 2015 =/

[Unversed Angel]

I remember way back in the day before PS3's release, Square remade the intro scene of FFVII with Cloud coming in on the train just to show off how awesome the graphics are. For awhile, all the fanboys were like "OMG FFVII REMAKE YEAH", but I knew it was only a graphical demo so I laughed at them.
It is possible they will remake it though. After all, they've remade I-VI so far, some of them more than once. If there is a remake, I'm not gonna get it, since I have the original version, unless I find it hella cheap at Gamestop, like I did with the PSP remake of FFT.
I've been playing X and X-2 recently too. lol I'm making a 100% video walkthrough with commentary for X-2 but I've been playing X because when Yuna talks about events that happened or meet people she knew before, I'm always like "Who the hell is this guy?" or "What happened here again?"
Back on topic, I think releasing it on PS3 and 360 would give it a larger audience. Though making it exclusive to one console may encourage rabid fans to buy that console if they don't own it. IE: let's say I think Final Fantasy is the best thing ever and I really want Versus but I only have 360. Then it comes out PS3-exclusive. That would probably encourage me to buy a PS3 because I wouldn't want to live without it. Hypothetical of course, because FF isn't my favorite series and I do have a PS3 but you get the point.
Ultimately it's up to them and I, personally, don't care about the result.

Wow, im getting alot of cool info here

Video Commentarys? Give me ur youtube name so i can sub

Also, i may buy a Ps3 anyway, so i dont really care either, and i get what you mean about the PS3 Exclusive would make people buy it
But from the very moment i played FF, FFX-2 was my first about 6-5yrs ago and ive loved it ever since, i hope to complete my collection soon, and if i dont get a ps3 and Versus comes out exclusive to the ps3, well ill be very sad

I didn't really like X-2 at first and I explain why in the first video but this time I'm having a lot of fun with it. lol Here's the link to my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Sufo?feature=mhum

I need to get VIII and IX to complete my collection. lol Well, there are a couple I don't own anymore and/or borrowed and beat. But so far I've beaten I-VII, including Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus, X, XII, and XII Revenant Wings from the main series. Which just leaves VIII, IX, X-2, and XIII. Hoping to get those out of the way before Versus XIII. xD

I know stupid...right...?

I liked the battle system in FFXIII and it came as a shock to me seeing how the character could attack more than once (6 times to be exact)
But i really like the look of FF Versus XIII's battle system, Seems very Dirge Of Cerberus - Kingdom hearts-ish, AND IT HAS BLOOD IN IT!
Which is kinda odd for a Final Fantasy game...

And i will repeat, i would really hate it if FF Versus XIII didn't come out Xbox...

I subbed to your channel, i also have much respect for you for starting a 100% walk through! Please add more videos
Also how are you recording this? Capture card or a video camera?

I got a couple new games that I've been playing and a 2nd playthrough of FFX to help refresh my memory but I plan to do some more later today. I have a few more videos done but I need to go back and finish the marriage/PR missions. lol I have up to the beginning of chapter 2, then realized you have to finish before the end of chapter 1. xD
I have a capture card and a mic that I use. I wish I had an audio mixer cause it's actually really hard to sync up both audio sources. lol You may have noticed a sort of echo effect in a couple of videos because I couldn't line it up perfectly. For the most part I do okay though. xD I usually record later in the evening, edit and render overnight, and upload the next day so be ready for some more tomorrow.

[Unversed Angel]

I intend to get a capture card too, so i can record FF Versus XIII when it comes out

[Unversed Angel]

Instead of making a new topic and posting it there, i decided to post it here, seeing as we're going on about FFXIII, i thought the picture is rather fitting,

You can see the details that good, or the picture itself for that matter, i will update it with a better picture when i can be bothered :3
I re-uploaded a clearer one

Personally, I hope Versus XIII stays a PS3 Exclusive.

I have many reasons for this:
-Since the start of the PlayStation Era, Final Fantasy games 7-12 were all on a PlayStation console, so they should keep the 'tradition' running.
-Trailers say that it'll be a PS3 Exclusive. (Hopefully it still will be a PS3 Exclusive, like XIII was MEANT to be)
-If Versus XIII is on XBOX, it will have to be watered down, just like XIII was. (Even though it was watered down, it still had to be on 3 Discs)

At the moment, these are my reasons. When I have done some more research, I will edit this post.
