Nomura Promises "Proper" Versus XIII Unveiling In January
Final Fantasy Versus XIIIYou know, we've all been waiting for a "proper" look at Final Fantasy Versus XIII. They said we'd get it during the first part of 2010...now it seems it'll be here first thing 2011.
During their behind-closed-doors showing of their newest FF title at last week's Tokyo Game Show, Square-Enix revealed a date for the upcoming "Fabula Nova Crystallis Conference:" January 11, 2011. And thanks to new info from producer Tetsuya Nomura in the most recent Famitsu, we've learned the meeting will highlight Versus XIII, Agito XIII and some "unrelated games" as well. Nomura's reason for the delay? He wanted the development team to give Versus XIII the aforementioned "proper unveiling" at the conference, so they didn't bring much to E3 or TGS. Even better, the Fabula conference is meant for the press, which means we should definitely see new footage and details on the Internet come January. Lastly, Square-Enix intends to announce new Dissidia characters; we already know Lightning from FFXIII will be featured in the freshly announced sequel, which will drop next year.
Dare we hope for a release date for Versus XIII at the conference? Maybe it'll be a big holiday title for the PlayStation 3...but above all else, we'd really like to get an extended look at some gameplay. 30 seconds of blurry footage at TGS isn't really enough.

Then at the end of the thread I wrote..."I'm pretty sure it'll come by "Mid 2011."
All, and I mean all of the repliers told me I had to be insane to think it would come out "Mid 2011."
"Oh yea I agree with starfr3ak2461 it'll DEFINITELY BE OUT BY 2010."
. . . - don't ever think a Final Fantasy game or any hyped up Square Enix game for that matter will come out in 3-4 years. Hell as Jawknee said I remember SE saying that Versus may not even make the 2011 release time.
WOW, but here I am hoping for 2011 christmas!

I think Japan has a reasonable chance of seeing it in 2011 but I'd honestly be surprised if we get it in the US before 2012.

Though we did get the same kind of thing with GT5 and that is going to be flipping awesome so maybe instead of nobbing off the whole time they have actually been working to make it perfect.
Hey a guy can dream can't he?

Dissidia2 on the other hand is going to be slick. The original proved that, and the inclusion of a bunch more characters is cool too. Lightning (FFXIII), Kain (FFIV), Tifa (FFX).
Peace.

Oh yeah, if any of you Final Fantasy or DOA nuts are in need of a fix... check out Dead Fantasy on youtube. It's a computer generated fighting show. It's definitely independent, but a fun watch!!! And it's all Dead or Alive and Final Fantasy characters!
Tifa has materia early on, and kicks some serious ass! Even Kairi from Kingdom Hearts makes a cameo!!!

From Software just announced Project Dark which is essentially Demon's Soul 2, anyone else here heard about it?

im really starting to get tired of the string being dangled in front of my face, i get excited than said announcement comes and its something not worth hyping up.
you think portal 2 or DNF finally releasing would of had the impact they did if the developers announced a announcement for said date?
if gabe told us hes announcing something at sonys presser would portal 2s announcement have the shock and excitement it did?
nope!
if gearbox had promised us a announcement at PAX, would DNFs announcement have the excitement and shock it did?
nope!
sure, both teased at such things, gearbox did tweet a link to pigs flying a few days before the reveal but thats just a tongue in cheek tease its not actually promising anything.
people would be so more excited and happy with news they get if the developers did not tease it in the first place.
as i have said many times if your teased to get something really cool for your Bday than get a get exactly what you were expecting, your going to be happy but your not going to be ecstatic are you?
but if your not expecting anything for your Bday and get the same thing as above your going to be really shocked, and ecstatic are you?
