Don't get too excited by this new Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer
We're not quite done with the Final Fantasy XIII onslaught yet. IGN has posted a new trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Those who attended the Tokyo Game Show closed theater presentation (umm, that's gotta be some of you, right?) will be familiar with it and probably recognize some of the real-time footage from the game. We see the two main characters of Versus chatting ... and not much else. The game is so far away from completion that it appears Square Enix hasn't hired voice actors for the game yet!Check it out after the break.[Thanks, Fidoboy17!]
Dissidia and Patapon 2 dated for Japan; FF Agito still years away
Sony Japan has announced release dates for several PSP titles that all eyes (or in case of Patapon, "eye") have been on. Dissidia: Final Fantasy will sneak in right before Santa Claus shows up on December 18. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam and the rhythm soldiers of Patapon 2 Donchaka will march in November 20 and 27, respectively. No word yet on North American or European release dates. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Agito XIII looks like it's still a long way off from coming to a Sony portable near you. Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura explains the game isn't expected to release until after PS3's Final Fantasy XIII and Versus arrive. In short: We're looking at 2010 or later before Agito's release. Will the PSP, as we know it, even exist at that point?
Final Fantasy XIII not available on 360 in Japan, Versus XIII still PS3-exclusive
The Square Enix conference was all about one thing: Final Fantasy XIII. Today's startling announcement was on the mind of everyone in attendance. As a result, journalists were quite fixated on the topic.According to Siliconera, Final Fantasy XIII's 360 port has not been announced for release in Asia. The team is currently focused on finishing the Japanese PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII. "The priority is to bring it to the PS3 first." Once the game releases in Japan, the team can then work on localization and porting it to the Xbox 360. This may mean we're going to suffer through an intolerable wait for an English-language release.The main reason behind today's announcement is obvious: the Xbox 360's significant userbase in countries not named "Japan." However, although Final Fantasy XIII has been announced for Microsoft's console, Versus XIII is still in development as a PS3 exclusive. Of course, considering today's revelation -- will that exclusivity truly last?
