The official site for this event is up! They announced it via twitter:
SQUARE ENIX 1st Production Department Premiere | SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS
Apparently 300 Square Enix Members get to attend the event and 10000 get to watch it online as it gets streamed on NICO NICO LIVE! The event is at the TohoTheatre in Tokyo on January 18th, 2011.
I'm so going to laugh if SE announces that Versus XIII is being renamed Final Fantasy XV at the event. :D
The crystal theme is sorta overused cause technically its usually a major factor in every FF title, so nothing new there, but each of the games has been confirmed to use similar terminology. Agito has l'Cie for instance but whether they are anything like the ones from XIII is up in the air. Versus XIII mentions the goddess from XIII as well though she appears to be playing a much larger part of the story for this title. Basically similar terminology is shared but its being strongly hinted that they are very different from each other in each title.
As an example, say their was a VII Mugglefluff title and it had a group called SOLDIER but in this game SOLDIER are a race of Dragon Knights that protected an ancient kingdom instead of being Mako/Jenova infused super soldiers. That's what's kinda going on here.
Basically SE is trying to reinvent the FF franchise in a way.
I could have sworn I read that FFXIII and Versus were supposed to be in the same universe at least. This was back when they were announced though. If the crystal theme is all they have in common, then I think they may as well have named it FFXV. FFXII had crystals, and the logo for FFIX was a crystal. It's not really "going back" if they barely left it at all :confused:
Oh well. The title is the least of my concerns.
FFIX revolved around Crystals too did it not?
Silly Squeenix.
Yeah.. And they've retconned FF1 to be about crystals now instead of orbs. It'd probably be easier to think of Final Fantasys that didn't involve crystals
The development time for the Final Fantasy titles has become too long to keep the public interested. Hasn't it been over four years now since Final Fantasy XIII Agito was announced, for example?
I just want more info on versus. That's the (one of) main reasons I got a PS3. It looks so much better than XIII (I'm getting it in a few hours, but I'm not all that excited). From what I read about both games, I reckon Noctis' city is in another part of the world and is going through it's own problems because (SPOILER)they are the only people left who still have control of their crystal. I'm probably totally wrong, but that's my uneducated guess. I can't wait until we get more info on it (and possibly KH3)
Well, I just hope that they release a lot of information on the titles currently in development, because I think a lot of people are wondering what is going on with the company given recent events regarding Final Fantasy XIV. Now, more than ever, it's important to keep in touch with the customer base, I think.
FF just bought the trademark for the name Final Fantasy Type 0. http://www.siliconera.com/2010/12/29...antasy-type-0/
Final Fantasy Reishiki sounds cool. :p
