Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a game that exists. But for players, it exists only in screenshots and trailers. And has so for many, many years.
Where the hell is Final Fantasy Versus XIII? Who knows. Oddly, a song from the unreleased game is launching as paid DLC for Nintendo 3DS game Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy on April 4.
Square Enix has been making Final Fantasy Versus XIII for a long, long time. Gamers aren’t playing the game yet; rather, they’re playing the waiting for it game. The Versus designer, Tetsuya Nomura said the latest info about the title is ready to roll, but… But…. “We’re almost done with preparing the latest info for the game,” Nomura apparently told Japanese game magazine Famitsu in a yet unpublished interview.
Six years have passed since Final Fantasy Versus XIII was first shown in trailer form. Talk about a long time.
A Final Fantasy Versus XIII job wanted ad lists PS3 package title experience as necessary, “or otherwise an Xbox 360 package title”. But Versus is a PS3 exclusive! Just like FFXII was. Well, at one point. [Square Enix]
In early August, I asked where the hell Final Fantasy Versus XIII was. This could change, but it’s apparently not at this year’s Tokyo Game Show! Final Fantasy XIII-2, among other FF games, will be there too. [TGS2011]
