Yeah, Square seemed to be focusing more on FFXIV instead of Versus XIII. A bit weird.

Anyway, Versus seems to be shaping up well. As information came out about it, I've thought that it will be better than its cousin XIII, and that trend seems to be continuing. Although XIII surprised me in a good way, so hopefully Versus can supersede my expectations.

Not really weird at all when you consider the cash cow that MMORPG's can be. Single player RPG's, not so much.

Yes, I suspected that Final Fantasy Agito XIII would become vaporware due to the lack of information about the title. I have not heard or seen any major coverage about the game aside from this latest piece of news.

Agreed.As far as I know there is only one oficial trailer of Agito and some screenshots.

Feeling these screens as well. Whatever they're doing with the lighting/filters/whatever, its looking pretty damn good.

Plus FFXIV is coming out relatively shortly, whereas Versus XIII is looking like 2011 at the earliest.

There was a part about there being no interface/menus on the screens, because "it's a surprise." I'm really hoping that surprise is

Fight
Magic
Ability
Item

The game is virtual reality. There will be no menus. Duh!

In all seriousness, it's probably something along this lines of (SPOILER)

or (SPOILER)

. =p

Ahhhhh!!!!
You just made me imagine some unholy combination of Microsoft Kinect. and the extrapolation of the FF13 'fast paced think for you battle system' concept.

I'm getting more and more excited for Versus. That shot with the behemoth looks awesome.

My only worry is that it'll be short/not the same length as main series FF games, since that's been the case with just about every spin-off title thus far. Although, whether calling Versus a "spin-off" title is appropriate or not is arguable.

**Stjewy** · 07-11-2010, 01:03 PM

I just hope it's better than XIII, caus I'm not really diggin' XIII.

**BarelySeeAtAll** · 07-11-2010, 04:29 PM

I haven't played XIII, but I think it could be. It looks like more time and effort's gone in to this :/

But I don't know, I'm not that much of a gameplayer. This one's meant to be darker too, which is always a plus

That depends greatly on the fan. Personally, I'm not getting my hopes up for the plot because Kazushige Nojima is the scenario writer, and I've pretty much disliked everything he's written for Square(Enix).

I do find it amusing that this game is backtracking so much in terms of design. The more game design elements revealed, the more it sounds like an old SNES/PS1 RPG. World map? Controllable Airship? Towns and NPCs? Fully controllable party? Its like its 2000 all over again kids.

Possibly because some of us feel it has been all downhill for the genre since then. Not that I personally know anyone like that...

It's funny that you mention that. From my perspective it seemed to promise that, and everything new I hear seems to be clawing back away to something more 'modern'. The latest news seems to promise a decidedly un-classical experience.

>>> I have to be honest I dont like those screens at all :yuck:, the game looks too dark for my taste and fighting in a city at night? whats next, Zombies?

.. Geez, I really hope Squarenix doesnt screw up this game..

Is anyone else getting tired of waiting for news for big video games?
