Multiplatform FFVersusXIII Under Consideration

Cloud Strife — Wed, 19 May 2010 02:40:44 +0800

Couldn't find links to subbed trailers which aren't mirrored anywhere so I decided to sub and up them myself.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y6YTWRCT
- E3 2006 Trailer (02:45) (480p)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0Y65SULH
- TGS 2007 Clip (00:05) (768x576)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F8LBFT9Z
- CLOUD DVD Trailer (02:06) (1080p)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YYTGJNYH
- DKS3713 Trailer (05:01) (960x540)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2XHNSLR6
- Advent Children Complete Trailer (04:47) (960x540)

I only subbed the DKS3713 and ACC trailers, I grabbed the rest from random sites.

PS: All these trailers are playable on a PS3, as for the WMV you have to enable WMA playback in the System Settings.

Final Fantasy XIII was originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but ended up making the switch to multiplatform PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Sister project Final Fantasy Versus XIII was also originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and has stayed as such since its announcement.

The various Versus trailers that we've seen since FFXIII's multiplatform switch have made it clear that this particular FF game would be PS3-only worldwide. But CEO Yoichi Wada was less firm on this stance during a Q&A session that concluded an investors meeting today in Tokyo.

As reported at Impress Watch, when asked if it would be best to give Versus a multiplatform release on Xbox 360, Wada replied "We'll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement."

The question was asked in relation to Final Fantasy XIII and the possibility of the game's Xbox 360 release having helped to extend sales overseas.

By "formal announcement," Wada is presumably referring to the proper unveiling of Versus. While we've seen plenty of trailers for the game, most recently via a short teaser clip at December's Jump Festa event, Square Enix has yet to show gameplay footage outside of some camera-grabbed teaser footage that was shown at last year's Tokyo Game Show.

The game's formal unveiling is widely expected to take place at next month's E3 expo in Los Angeles, although director Tetsuya Nomura has given some hints that it could come later.

Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has responded to recent reactions of Final Fantasy Versus XIII possibly coming to Xbox 360.

Written in a Twitter update, Wada basically says that he’s surprised by the recent uproar on the internet about Final Fantasy Versus XIII possibly coming to Xbox 360 and reminds people that nothing has been decided.

“It looks like the ‘net is heating up. Versus on Xbox? What I said at the earnings press conference was just that until a formal announcement is made at the announcement time, all points about all titles are not finalized.” (translation via Andriasang)

E3 is around the corner. Hopefully, Final Fantasy Versus XIII will make an appearance.

Thanks, Kagari.

Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has provided some clarification on his statement from yesterday that seemed to suggest Final Fantasy Versus XIII was a possibility for Xbox 360. The clarification came, expectedly, through Wada's frequently updated Twitter.

Tweeted Wada early Wednesday (around 6:00AM): "It looks like the 'net is heating up. Versus on Xbox? What I said at the earnings press conference was just that until a formal announcement is made at the announcement time, all points about all titles are not finalized."

[note: I previously miswrote "announcement" as "release" in the above.]

So it looks like we probably shouldn't jump the gun on Final Fantasy Versus XIII being multiplatform. At least not until Don Mattrick gets a magic tap on the shoulder at E3 from Tetsuya Nomura.

Speaking of Nomura, it would nice to have the Versus director weigh in on this, don't you think? Unfortunately, Nomura appears to be the only Japanese game developer who doesn't have a Twitter account. He occasionally channels his thoughts through the Square Enix Members Twitter, but this doesn't sound like a topic that would be covered there.

Wada also used his Twitter account to clarify a few other points from the press conference.

A follower said he was shocked when he saw that Last Remnant was not on a slide that seemed to show the IPs that Square Enix hopes to strengthen. Wada responded that the slide, shown below, was not the list of IPs Square Enix hopes to strengthen, but was just meant to show that Square Enix has a bunch of properties. There's no meaning in the listed names.

Tetsuya Nomura to make E3 appearance

QUOTE

Siliconera is reporting that Kingdom Hearts creator and Fnal Fantasy Versus XIII director Tetsuya Nomura is popping along to E3 for a visit. This is the bit where you start freaking out over what may happen with him about.

Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto broke the news on the Japanese Twitter of Square Enix’s Members group.

“Next week, after a long time, Director Nomura will go on a business trip to E3,” he tweeted.

What could happen with Nomura at E3 is unknown. Hell, could be nothing, but the assumption may be that a re-reveal for Versus XIII might be back on the cards again, having previously said that it may not make the event earlier this year.

We can only hope.
