What do you mean by "distant"

Outdated, obviously.

Probably the whole D-pad vs analog stick thing.

Outdated, obviously.

Yeah, but I was wondering what specifically his complaints were.

[robvandam111]

Only 27 hours and 56 minutes...

If its going to be a third XIII game, then I hope it goes back to the more focused story telling in the original. FFXIII-2 's story was weak in comparison to the original due to the a lack of focus on one set of events.

To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy, Tetsuya Nomura provided a drawing of Noctis. It says: "Congratulations on the 25th anniversary. Please wait for his turn to appear."

They still want us to wait for, Versus XIII?. Why can't they just show us another teaser or something or are they afraid that it could steal the thunder from XIII-3?.

Three words. Tokyo Game Show

A teaser would be great actually. They show us a small clip now to build up hype around the world and finally make the full reveal on Tokyo Game Show.

[robvandam111]

E3 20(13), if it all fails in TGS then it's official. 2013; the year of 13 lol.

[daLa]

This 25th anniversary collection does not seem worth it imo, I'm glad TGS hasn't even started yet so we can still hope for it.

[Blacksite]

At least they haven't forgotten about Final Fantasy Versus XIII. But TGS shouldn't be too long of a wait. I'm ready to have my mind blown.

[itachi73378]

where's the lightning saga announcement?

[robvandam111]

where's the lightning saga announcement?

That's not until September.

[itachi73378]

That's not until September.

Oh, I thought this event was for that reason only

I disagree it seems pretty awesome. ESPECIALLY since all the games are actually on disk!! Not crappy DLC codes for most of the games like the Street Fighter collection
