Bad joke Square Enix
IGN: PlayStation Premiere: Tiny Final Fantasy XIII Update
(You'll get some nice Hi-Res pictures of XIII and vs XIII)
So now we get the news that FF XIII is 13% complete and vs XIII is 1,3 % complete. SE, better start working again, you said the same in october 2006, so that means you didn't work on FNC at all all this time?
It's a joke (a bad one). 13%, FF XIII. XIII %, FF XIII. Woah, coincidence.
Nasty sense of humor, SE, but at least we have 2 more hi-res pics. I guess it's something.
Damn them.
I think they're just trying to be cute with their updates.
Anyways we have two more hi-res pics o.o
Two "new" screenshots, meaning captures from the same trailers that have been around for over a year now. Not exactly what I'm looking for when I want something new.

Yeah, just finishing touches take awhile from what I've heard.
Wasn't it so that they meant that the script was 80% complete? I mean, if the game itself was 80% complete, they would show a demo or something at TG, right? But SE just said that a FF XIII demo will arrive in 2008 at earliest. No, XIII is still far from complete, but XIII %? Yeah right...
I think they're just trying to raise the tension among fans...
I probably wont play this game anyway because the ps3 is so expensive.
Anyway I don't know why but I have a feeling this game is going to be a huge letdown for some reason.
No developer in the world would give a serious progress % report with a decimal place. And yeah, these are the same numbers given at TGS last year. Of course they havnt stated that it was a joke, it was supposed to be pretty obvious
Most people have caught on though. I didnt believe my eyes the first few seconds when I saw this at TGS though :O
Yeah it will be a letdown because you wont buy it, as you have just stated.I probably wont play this game anyway because the ps3 is so expensive.

I'll root for you to win the PS3 Promotion. Wait I thought you disliked the PS3? *shrug*

I didn't realize that at first, XIII = 13%. Definately a bad joke.
But are they serious that Versus is 1/10 as far done as XIII is? That's an even worse joke....
I think this could possibly mean that Square Enix has seen that the Playstation 3 is probably going to die or get very low sales in the future in the United States in regards to console and games, and as a result of this, they want to redo some of the coding of the game and make it come out on the Xbox 360 instead, or possibly come out for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. That could be a possibility for the sudden lowering of the percentages.
What do you think of my theory?

Don't think so. The developpers so far love working with the PS3 and Nomura said that some things for Versus they are doing are only possible on the PS3.
And I don't know if you know, but the PS3 is experiencing great sales (for now) in the US, thanks to the price drop of the 60 gig model. Of course Sony is killing itself by replacing it with a 599 dollar 80 gig model, but bleh. And this fall there are some good games coming to the console as well. It's really doing better now then before, at least for now.
And lastly, the 360 isn't doing well in Japan I believe (even worse than PS3) and that's what SE looks at, sales in Japan.
Lol I didn't actually realise it was a joke at first. But yeah, about when FF12 came out where I live they said they were already 80% done!
