I think that the game will probably be re-fit into FFXV... Ideally, the game will scrap the action elements and replace with a more traditional, turn-based system but we'll see. Anyways :lol SE :lol

I hope this game will go the way of Rising and Square Enix funds a new Platinum action game.

Replace 'Square Enix' with 'Sony' and apply to The Last Guardian as well.

I think it will be rushed out half-finished after FFXIV 2.0 is completed. Then we'll see Final Fantasy XIII-3.

This will continue happening as production costs increase. This game would likely be in production, under budget, and ready for launch if it was being developed for the WiiU

Can't see how it's not just Square Enix. Their production problems are well documented and you add to that how much they probably wanted to gussy up this game and you may have a nightmare. Plus Japan's problem with HD development in general.

She's probably not wrong, though.

It wouldn't surprise me if Versus is dead, but this sounds a lot like Kotaku searching for attention. "It's dead and we're right unless they say it isn't!" They left themselves a "get out of jail free" card at the end of the article.

Yeah, I know you like Rahxephon and were born in 1991, but blatant misogyny isn't cool here at the Bore. We get enough of that in our videogames. Hating Kagari is fine, but hate her on her merits, not because she's a woman.

Maybe there's an epic internal political battle raging between Kotaku's secret sources and Kagari's secret sources and who wins will determine whether Versus will live another year to provide a few more teaser screenshots or not.

I do?

It's pretty much the most interesting game SE has attempted in the last 15 years and should have been a damn fine game.  Kingdom Hearts is AWESOME, but at its heart it's a "for-kids" PG-13 game stuck on PS2-gen visuals.  Take Kingdom Hearts and mix it with a dark realistic take on FF meets modern day Tokyo hard R mafia/fantasy/romance story with crazy nice HD visuals and incredible art direction and you have the potential for Nolan Batman of the FF series. 

It's a shame the game seems to have been a total disaster, because it really should have been one of the best games this generation. 


I think they should never have tried to make it open world.  SE really doesn't have experience in that area, so doing so would basically lead to a genre-pushing incredible game or a total disaster and they seem to have lost the bet.  I would have been happy to just have the game play out like Kingdom Hearts in semi-open yet linear cities/dungeons broken up by cutscenes and boss fights.

The amount of interest and care that you exhibit in shit like this is why any woman worth being with for an extended period of time will always avoid you, Bebpo.  They can smell this shit from a mile away and it's more repellant than Sex Panther mixed with the smell of a week old dead baby.  I would tell you to care about this shit less, but then you'd probably just care about fruity fucking anime more, and honestly that's worse.
