Bad joke Square Enix

[Avarice-ness]

i try not to think about it and then when it is released its like, oh...YAY!!!

Yeah to bad it's going to take forever to get released. Bad jokes don't really help popularity. When a corporation comes out saying "OMGS NEW INFO" and it's really just a witty, or half-attempted witty joke to the consumers along with already used "new" screenshots, it kind of makes the consumer lose hope in a game that's really three games...

Honestly I'd rather hear more about a new character or something than seeing the same screenshots and hearing news that really isn't news.
Not to mention at this point I don't even want FFXIII due to it really being like three games.

What ever happened to makers putting their heart into a game? Can makers honestly say they can split their heart into three games and make them just as good as if they put their all into one.
I think not.

I've got a really bad joke for you.
I heard that Japan is going to have a release date 13 weeks before the N/A release.

oh, wait, that's true...
bad way to make people have a bit of taste of reality..



We'll need to wait 4 months after the official release if not more...

No... Isn't Square going for a simultaneous release? That's what I heard. And as for the joke thing; why would Square do that? It makes no sense Like "Oh... lets make a joke with the % of our game completion..." I just don't think they would do that... but that's just me

Don't forget, these three games are developed by three seperate teams.

FF XIII is the main FF team, who last worked on FF X-2 and since then have slightly split up to randomly help out in the Kingdom Hearts stuff and the FF VII Compilation stuff.

FF V XIII is the Kingdom Hearts team.

FF A XIII is the team from FF VII: Before Crisis and FF VII: Crisis Core, and they will make their fourth game Kingdom Hearts: Coded next.

Ok but still... I just dont understand why they would make a joke about that... I think those numbers are true.

I guess they just wanted us to see how many complaints we would make. Well its working. Can't wait for it to come out though.

ooh right. that makes scene now. you can already see their styles coming through.

Yea, FF XIII team made FF 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,X-2, and now XIII. Some of their people helped out in FF VII compilation stuff and some Kingdom Hearts stuff after FF X-2 came out. Soon after the USA release of FF X-2, they started to work on FF XIII, starting in early 2004.

FF Versus XIII team is same team from KH1 and KH2, not sure if this team also made the GBA Kingdom Hearts game. The upcoming KH games are not necessarily by this team, KH: Coded is another team, I'll explain next, I can't remember about the other two upcoming KH games.

FF Agito XIII. This same exact team made FF VII: Before Crisis, FF VII: Crisis Core, and is working on this now and is also working on Kingdom Hearts: Coded. For KH: Coded the director of the team is going to be co-director with Tetsuya Nomura(the leader of Kingdom Hearts), but otherwise the team is the same.

FF IX's team is not the main FF team who made FF 8 and FF 10. FF IX had the same Producer, Game Designer, and Composer. FF IX has different Director, Scenario Writer, Character Designer, and Art Director, and was originally planned not to be part of the main FF series.

FF XI team is interesting. What happened is that the team who made Xenogears and then Chrono Cross split up and some went to Monolith Soft and made Xenosaga 1-3 and some stayed at Square Enix and made FF XI and it's expansion packs. By the way there are a lot of the Xenogears/Chrono Cross designers also working on Chrono Trigger and Radical Dreamers, but not all.

FF XII is the same exact team pretty much as Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, FF Tactics, and Vagrant Story. Yasumi Matsuno left during the making of FF XII, he's the leader of the team and directs, writes, and produces most of the time, not sure where some of the people of this team went to.

Not sure who is making the cellphone rpg FF IV: The After in Japan. FF VII compilation games has various teams involved.

I felt like randomly giving out some background info on some of the teams.

Well, I think it's adorable.

I wish we could get some good info about the date of release. So far Square hasn't said anything.
