^But would it even be surprising if Versus was a no-show at TGS? I know I don't expect it otherwise they would have said it before.

what a goddamn joke. Square, I've never in my life said this before as I feel it is a horrrible thing to wish upon anyone, but I hope you all die in a fire. I hope every one of you morons that has a Lightning fetish gets an electrified rod through your crotch. I hope you contact gangrene and your head falls off. I hope you fall into a swirling vat of razors and salt. I hope everyone in that company stands in a line next to a train track and the man with the world's biggest hands hangs out the window and slaps each one of them as the train speeds by.

fucking pathetic.

See, this is why I hate final Fantasy XIII. if it was simply a one-off, I'd shrug my shoulders and move on and treat it like the subpar, poorly made anomaly it is....but this is unacceptable. Final Fantasy XIII isn't just a bad game, it's the bad game that is the crux of the downfall of the company. It's the turning point. By focusing their efforts on making more around XIII, it's taking them farther and farther away from QUALITY. I hate final Fantasy XIII because it effectively destroyed the series and it continues to beat it with a dead horse.

They should be focusing on Versus. the very fact that they KNOW people want Versus and are actively taking resources away from making it shows that the company hates its fans. Either that or it's trolling us on an epic scale, and they're all sitting in their building laughing in a stereotypically japanese fashion.

This Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII announcement isn't legit, it's a joke, that or an act of aggression. There's no other possible explanation. FUCK YOU SQUARE ENIX IN THE ASS WITH A BARBED DILDO.

I'm serious.

I'm starting to think "Versus" is the Japanese word "trolling".

No no, it's not surprising at all... well, maybe it is... since Wada is loving to confirm the game is going well and Nomura just teased the fans a little more.

What that confirms (if confirmed) though is no Versus for 2013. And since Final Fantasies usually release in the end of the year... that means end of 2014? 2015 for the west? Wow...

Yeah and probably next-gen at this point. And probably became FFXV.

Good news is no reason not to port it to Wii U at this point

Another Final Fantasy thread that has turned into a long rant about Versus XIII. I'm so /shocked.

Final Fantasy fans are annoying.

  waiting for FFVersusXIII to come...

At the rate SE is going they wont have many Final Fantasy fans left.

I think the Wii U has already conquered japan in terms of next gen systems. The only 3rd party japanese devlopers I see making use of a console more powerfull then the ps3 is Square Enix and Capcom. But otherwise I don't see any developers going ps4 exclusive over there, which means the wii U will be ahead of the game.
