Well prove the BS wrong because face it if FFXIV wasn't a disaster of SE's own making they wouldn't need to be pulling people off other teams, we knew little of many of the vapourware games before they crash landed and people were like WTF and considering this was a game in development for the PS2 at first and started as FFXII was finishing people have legitimate reason to be concerned, twice so with SE's output in the last few years on console.

You know what points out a chaotic development the fact that in 7 years we still don't know anything about the game and have only 3 trailers to go by and not even recent ones, they weren't helping out with XIV for 7 years we know that, if development of the game is starting and stopping then it's far from good because the industry doesn't wait for no one and new ideas become old and dated fast. What they set out to do with Versus may no longer be as interesting now as the day they concieved it that's why long developments are a worry.

First of all, Versus started as FF XII, really ?

Second of all, even if XIV wasn't a disaster, there was STILL the PS3 version to come. They always had games lined up. And they made games. Team Ico, who have another alleged vaporware in their hands, not so many.

Here's the deal; lot's of people like to express their discontent about Versus talking a long time by taking it out on a supposed troubled development which translates into Square's incompetence. Aren't I right ? But the reality is Square f*cked up with XIV not Versus.

Versus is a 6 year old tease but it's not late if they never intended to release it before XIII-2 or type-0 or KH HD or XIV PS3 version in the first place.

Try quoting the actual line instead of part of it or do you have trouble reading.

this was a game in development for the PS2 at first and started as FFXII was finishing

As XII was being finished Versus was in development this was confirmed by SE themselves as both Versus and XII were PS2 games at first, well done genius SE messed up XIV now explain what was happening before XIV launched as it was after it that members were pulled, that gives them around 5 years from when XIV was still Rapture. Congratulations on giving the biggest strawman argument in history with Versus not being late if they never intended it to be release before 3 games that weren't even in development or concept stage when it was, so your argument is that they intended to miss the whole gen after skipping the end of the previous one keep grasping that straw.

The other part of your argument makes SE look even more imcompetent then even the critics do, they had the games lined up but prioritsed games they possibly hadn't started development on as far as we know? SE has released around 8-10 games with even the 3rd XIII game on the way of these games Verusus was know about before most of them an example is 

Give me Versus XIII Square Enix now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Initially, we were thinking about making FFXIII on PS2 and FFVersusXIII on a next-gen platform. Yoshinori Kitase 

Before XIV laucnhed, they they had just released FF XIII which was also delayed one year because of the Xbox version. Actually my argument is not a strawman one but one of simple observation: In recent years Square always had one Final Fantasy game released exactly at the end of each generation: IX and XII.  Versus could be the this gen's end game.

I am not trying to defend them, I am merely stating what we know. The reason they prioritised games ahead of Versus is most likely because they were far smaller productions and sure deals and Versus a risky concept. And of course everything got delayed by A Realm Reborn.

I'm sorry but reason wants it that FF Versus XIII was never a priority.

So Final Fantasy versus XIII was a perfume all along!?

WOW we've been played for REALZZ :(

LOL, you have got to be kidding me Nomura Hates MS? He just likes creating his games for a single platform. 

Absolute rubbish if it was never a priority it would never have been shown back at E3 2006 that's grasping at more straws then even before considering that SE's own approach to XIII was to turn each FF installment into a mini-franchise like what they did with the FFVII Compilation so what they did ith Versus was no more risky then the VII Saga it was already tried and tested with success, the E3 showing alone shows the game had high priority before SE began cocking up. So Versus was intended to be a next gen game that makes things even worse then thought as Nomura's team started development on it in November 2005 5 months before XII was due for release that makes SE more of a circus then I thought.

What you've done here is not observation it's making excuses for them, Versus' chances of being this gens end game look bleak because end games usually have content out in the media before the end of the gen is approaching, this time next year we'll possibly have all 3 next gen platforms out, in fact PS4 may be revealed in 2 days. Versus was a big priority for SE but then they like every other developer realized HD development had big hurdles and began faltering and never fully recovered which has hurt the devlopment of other games a testament to this is how their handheld division is doing well while the rest of the company is in disarrays I still remember their comment on towns not being possible in HD games when XIII arrived.

Don't laugh. Square treats us so well!

absolutely
