Report: Final Fantasy Versus XIII Cancelled?

[AaronSOLDIER]

I apologize, but if that's the case, then gamers should start hating the gaming industry, not just bashing one developer.

They did when Duke Nukem Forever finally released and fell short of expectations.

[D3seeker]

I'll never understand it. Yes, Final Fantasy is HUGE, but this is NOT the first FF game people have hated. Heck, I've seen some people say FF7 sucks and that IT was the start of Square going downhill.

I just do not understand why people are jumping on the "Burn Square Enix" bandwagon.

Yes it is huge, so huge it has been around for quite some time, and will more than likely be around for A LOT longer. Since this is the case they might as well get things better > right with the franchise or unlike their original saving grace, FF will be what send SE to the grave.

Plus their manner of teasing followed by untold gaps of time between tease only equate to pouring salt in a gushing wound.

You forgot the people working on The Last Guardian :P

That's irrelevant to that quote. But I concur that we've also been waiting too long for the release of The Last Guardian.

I'll tell you exactly why they canceled this game if it's true. because they were going to ship us another linear piece of crap. I personally think Sony pulled all there cash away and probably told S/E to fuck off.

Sony has no bearing whatsoever on what SE decides to do as a company with their IPs. If anything at this point and time theres a higher chance of Sony requesting the game be delayed for the PS4 before then Sony telling SE to STFU and cancel a game they had no hand in producing whatsoever.

I've defended Square Enix this entire generation. If this is true, they are officially garbage.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII looked amazing when it was announced. To just crush the dream like that and not even mention that it's been canceled? Yeah, that's just bullshit.

Honestly...the merger between Square and Enix may have been the worse thing to happen to the Japanese gaming industry in the last 15 years....The quality of titles just dropped, probably because there was no longer a true competitor

[ps3freak18]

Oh well can't say that I'm surprised at all. The game has pretty much been at a stalemate for a while now. Leave it up to SE to royally piss some people off. They will probably break down some of the aspects of the game and use it for XIII-3 or XV.

[Funeralfog]

this, the last guardian and agent. bullshit, don't announce anything just come out with it...or don't, just stop jerking us around

[robvandam111]

I'll wait when they make an offcial announcement. When are they having their 25th Anniversary?

[AaronSOLDIER]

They aren't gonna officially announce a cancellation of a game.

Plot thickens. Guess we will know its fate at TGS.

[daLa]

They should just either confirm the cancellation at TGS or give us a release date at TGS, cause it may just turn out to still be alive but more than 1 year of waiting like 6 weren't enough.

[Fenix]

Whens TGS? I hope even just this rumor gives them enough backlash to never even think about cancelling it. Unless its just really shitty. lol

Final Fantasy Versus XIII Cancelled? Not So Fast.

[robvandam111]

When I see Versus, XIII-3, Kingdom Hearts 3 and another FF project. That will be orgasm to my eyes. The Mass FF Releases.

[DTurkin]

If these rumors are false then a quick denial by Square-Enix would suffice (especially as cancellation of Versus might cause their stock price to fall a bit). However, we've not heard anything from them so far.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Exactly.

Oh dear.

September hurry up and get here.

[Versus]

Like I said, I really don't think VersusXIII got canceled.

Just saying if/when it does come out, I wouldn't rely on it being the best FF ever etc.

[Cyklops]

The funny thing is that only Kotaku is reporting this and only Kagari is denying it as false. Only two sources of info in this whole case. Everyone else is just reporting it as news. Let's see how this unfolds.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Apparently IGN have also been told its been cancel, could be the same source though.

[Blacksite]

I don't think it's been cancelled. It's too important for Square Enix, in my opinion.

[AaronSOLDIER]

I'm hoping its not cancelled (because if it is then we won't have gotten a single game from the best team at SE this gen), but I'm keeping expectations low at this point.
