@Akira_Tenshi:
Ahah, and everyone’s going crazy about it assuming SE is teasing the FF X HD remake instead of Versus :P

But…shouldn’t they update the countdown, if that’s true?

@Jackle:
The game is slowly decreasing in the Famitsu Reader’s most wanted list of games. Sure that won’t tell you what all the japanese gamers think, since it only covers the demographic of famitsu readers who sent in their list of most wanted games, but…well, it lets you know that in general, they’re giving up on the game just as we are in the west, pretty much.

As for Versus…yeah, you guys pretty much said what needed to be said. -sigh- To think, I was xx years old six years ago and I still don’t have this game in my hand.

Does anyone know what the people in Japan think about this? I’m not fluent in Japanese, but I’m curious if they’re hating on Square due to the long delay of Versus.

I’m still holding out for Kingdom Hearts DDD at this point, theaterythm, Bravely Default and other interesting rpg projects they may come up with.

As a company? I think they’re way way WAY oblivious as to what their consumers want, they’re in need of a wake up call, because they’re still living inside this bubble, that will burst eventually. And when they do, they’ll realize that they definitely need to heed their consumer’s call, the ones that give ’em the money they want.

And right now, everyone just wants for ’em to fucking release the games they announced six years ago. Do excuse my bluntness, but some things need to be said, and I’m sure you’ll read worse in many other forum/comment boards ;)

@Sal Romano:

I’m one of those people haha, I’m sure you are too.

I just stop and consider how developing and tweaking a new engine roughly based off crystal tools takes time.

I agree that announcing the game way back in 2006 was a big mistake, and has proved to be a huge blunder.

People make it sound like Tetsuya Nomura (and everyone else involved) is keeping the finished game locked up in a vault someplace.

Considering how long it has been in development, all the problems/delays, and how it has kept Nomura from working on any other new games.

Why would they not want to get the game out, to get that monkey off their back?

I could go on about how the Versus team is a separate team, and they had little to do with the development of 13-2, but no real need to do so.

Well, let’s hope for everyone’s sake the game is released this year. ^^

@Zero: I feel the same way, sort of, but I can easily understand why people get so upset.

It’s been six years. People just want their Versus XIII. Though, I don’t think the “X is next” necessarily means that it will be their primary focus, media-wise (like Final Fantasy XIII-2 was last year).

@vertical09: Im playing 8 now :D and I love it!

Gameplay coulda been better thoguh

@DarthNemesis: Not really I enjoy them not say there the best and no that’s all.

@FearMonkey: Final Fantasy Versus 13…..Q4 2016
