Well, at least that makes me have higher hopes that the game will release within the next five years *and* they might actually occasionally show gameplay at press events!

If I were being hopeful, I would also hope that they take the gameplay in a new direction. Turn based combat (and even the newer turn based combat like FFXIII had) is just outdated. In 1996 you couldn't have characters flip around and do awesome stuff, in 2013 you can. It just makes it so bad when you put something like, say, FFXIII and Uncharted next to each other where you're actually doing the crazy stuff.

Versus has always been an action RPG. Did you watch the 2011 trailer?



Anyway, we'll see...

 

• IF SE can stop with the crappy emo protagonist crap.
• IF SE can actually provide a good story and good characters.
• IF SE will actually accept Sony's help on how to make an action game and not some really bad hybrid or some generic attempt.

 

I can understand not wanting the emo personality although I don't know if the Japanese would complain that much about it to begin with. But we can't also expect a western-like type of personality because Square is not going to alienate the Japanese fans. I have this notion that somehow the characters that could click in Japan are those that are either sentimental but look badass, or the extremely funny ones.

About the Sony hands in the project (if that is really the case), we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. Maybe their help for Square is a about money and/or getting stuff done in the PS4 machine. Sony may not necessarily have any involvement in the creative aspect of the game.
