Rumor sez...

[Renmiri]

Rules: Post a rumor, then deny it. Any game counts

I'll start:


Game industry to use only fully clothed female characters

Rumor says that SE and other game companies have decided to stop depicting female characters as semi nude females, taking a clue from Barbie who stopped making busty dolls two decades ago.
However the executives on the game industry do like their money so they scrapped all the plans of clothing Lara Croft, Rikku, Fran and other game vixens. Fanboys of all ages can breathe easier now.

LocoRoco won't receive a sequel.

Oh wait, yes it will.



Like that?

Final Fantasy VI Revival Project in the works...

Word has it that SE has been planning an "FFVI revival project" for some time now. The project will start with a 60 minute CG movie "sequel" to the game titled Final Fantasy VI: Reflections. The movie will be directed and produced by it's original director Yoshinori Kitase

The story takes place five years after the game and shows the life of the characters living their new lives and finally reuniting on the anniversary of the defeat of Kefka.

Kitase: "We felt that since VI had such a well rounded cast that the sequel should focus upon their personal relationships rather than trying to tell another epic tale."

Though the story is said not to be focusing on another major threat and thus will not feature many wonderful battles we are so familiar with in the series, Director Kitase has assured us that the movie will treat us with detailed "flashbacks" of major events from the game. One scene in particular has fans wondering...

Kitase: Yes, you will get to see the opera scene. (laughs) It's such an iconic scene in the game that it would be foolish not too.

Another fear is how the characters will be portrayed and SE is happy to announce that Yoshitaka Amano is reprising his role as world and character design. Also Nobuo Uematsu is confirmed for the soundtrack which will feature many new arrangements of classic themes. He's even joked about using the Black Mage version of "Dancing Mad".

Besides the movie sequel, the project will also feature many spin off games and prequels, much like the "FFVII Revival Project". Two prequel games already have fans wondering... Final Fantasy VI: Dreaming Requiem and Final Fantasy VI: Maestro of Madness.

FFVI: DR is a prequel starring the enigamatic Shadow that tells the events of his life including the infamous "dream sequences" from the game.

Kitase: Shadow is a fan favorite but many fans wish to see the "flashbacks" expanded on explain the nature of his relationship between the people in his past.

The game will feature cameos of Kefka, Relm , Strago, Owzer, Daryl and Setzer. It will also feature a slew of new character including Roule, the Jidoorian officer sent to arrest the Train Robbers Shadow. Roule is seen using rifles as his weapon of choice. The KH team will be working on this project with Nomura doing character designs. It's said to be an stealth action game similiar to MGS and Tenchu.

FFVI:MoM is another prequel with a startling main protaganist. Kefka. The game tells the story of Kefka and his rise through the ranks of the Gestahlian Empire and the eventual experiment that drove him mad. Finally fans will get to see the man behind the madness. This game even features a more stunning cameo list with almost every majot character showing up.

Kitase: We felt it was time to expand on what really drove this character. In the game, he's already driven mad but with the prequel we can show a different more human side to the future demi-god.

The game not only focuses on Kefka but also shows the going ons of almost every cast member (except Umaro and Gogo) and shows that amny of the cast has unwittingly met their future arch-nemisis before the original story even took place. No word about what the game is like but it's rumor to be on the PSP.

Two other projects are said to be in the works as well including a DS game starring Relm and the other being a sequel focusing on Terra.

When asked when fans could be expecting to see the projects released, SE laughed and said "Never, we were pulling your leg. April Fools!"

I'm sorta thinking we'll get nubs asking question about the very rumours we make up here in a few years, after they saw them out of context on some Google search results page.

HEY, IS THAT TRUE WHAT YOU SAID WOLF KANNO!?

Only joking, that was very humorous and detailed. Laughing out Loud; Shadow's story...Funny funny guy...

SQUARE-ENIX AND DISNEY PATHS TO LEAD DIFFERENT WAYS

It was confirmed today that Square-Enix and Disney will not be collaborating together for any further titles in the Kingdom Hearts series. Although not too much is known at present, officials from Square-Enix have been reported to state that "the future of [Kingdom] Hearts will not contain Disney". When Disney officials were questioned, they declined to comment.

It is currently unknown why such a decision has been made. Some speculate that this may be due to running out of new Disney ideas to incorporate into the game, whereas others think there have been disagreements as to which direction the series will take. It is likely that Square-Enix will, however, continue the series, after the immense popularity shown for Kingdom Hearts II. A source inside Disney has implied that Disney may consider creating their own series of games, but most fans of the Kingdom Hearts series expect such a venture to fail, with the games being too 'childish'.

The threat of legal action seems unlikely at this point, for either party.

When asked to comment, Sora told us that "none of this is true; you shall be the one to open to door". Experts are still deciding what this means.

WiiStation?

In a surprising turn of events, Nintendo, the gaming giant famous for both its consoles and video games franchises (Mario, Zelda, etc...) has actually bought out its long time rival Sony. Many fans speculate as to the future of the gaming world. There is great hope that with these two giants working together the next system to be released will have Microsoft running for its money.

I want that rumor to be true!!!


FFXII gets a plot

Rumor says that SE decided to scrap the first version and remake FFXII for the PS3, this time spending some money to pay for writers instead of relying on untrained monkeys like last time.
However, all the money spent on buffs for Yiazmat and Omega has dried SE's coffers and the game will remain plotless and on the PS2

That's sorta've what I was hoping for

HEY, IS THAT TRUE WHAT YOU SAID WOLF KANNO!?

Only joking, that was very humorous and detailed. Laughing out Loud; Shadow's story...Funny funny guy...

I was trying to make it sound realistic and also an obvious parallel to the "Compilation of FinAl Fantasy VII"

How was that?

I want that rumor to be true!!!

So do I!!!

Would be interesting to see, but the controversy that would erupt in the FFVI forums would be hilarious. The whole "human side of Kefka" would split the community in half alone

P.S. Renmiri... I'll get my revenge shortly

[Fonzie]

I thought the title said "Rumor Sex". I leave, disappointed.

Squeenix sued in civil lawsuit by the women's lib...

After years of falsely portraying and exploiting female characters, the women's lib. unit has filed a class action lawsuit against the videogame company as well as several other famous game companies.

Ivam Aman (head of the Women's lib movement) : "It is appalling what these videogame companies are doing to our children these days. They teach our girls that they will always be shown up by men and teach boys that woman are brainless and lack any right to a personal opinion. It has to be put to a stop so that future generations will understand that we must learn to coexist as equals."

The oddest thing is the money the movement won in the settlement is being used for Square-Enix to go back and create PC versions of their popular games. VII will finally be remade but in this version, Aerith will not be killed (violence against women) and Tifa will have a breast reduction and will now where a less revealing outfit. FFVIII will now feature the sorcerous' as the good guys battling aginst a male figure who is head of a military power and tricking SeeD into believing the "witches" are evil. FFIX will have Vivi becoming a girl and will be featured more prominently, Yuna from FFX will have a complete change to her personality...

Ivam Aman: Yuna is the worst! She has no opinion of her own and is so weak willed in the story that the others have to reassure her of her "supposed decision". She teaches girls that we can't make decisions and we need a man around (Tidus) to finally get us to do anything. It's completely ridiculous.

Yuna will now be remade into a "modern woman" figure. She is confident and takes charge.

Nomura: Her personality will be similiar to Lady Ashe from FFXII.

Also noted for changes is Lulu and Rikku getting less revealing outfits (Victorian style anyone?) and FFX-2 is removed cause of it's over skimpy outfit and braindead story.

"Lightening" from the upcoming FFXIII is being changed as well. She will now be a "cute but chubby girl with a less than attractive face who is trying to show the male chauvanistic (sp?) world of FFXIII that when a girl puts her mind to it, she can be just as good as the guys regardless how she looks on the outside.

Many fans are in an uproar except for the the change in FFX that makes Tidus look more like Meg Ryan (now voiced by her as well). Go figure...

This would have all happened if it wasn't for the fact that most of their grounds are unfounded, it's highly illegal, and no one really cares
