Rumour – Is Final Fantasy Versus 13 becoming FF 15?

derp

What happened to you Square Enix? You used to be cool man. Remember the good ol’ days when we jammed Final Fantasies all through the night? But you changed man. You changed. Now, if you’re not making soulless button-mashing new FF games, you’re not even making them at all! I mean, whatever happened to Final Fantasy Versus 13?

Not content with cocking up what was once a great franchise, Square Enix has been twiddling their thumbs as of late with a game that has now begun to reach Duke Nukem Forever levels of vaporware.

But while its developers have been urging players to “be cool man, be cool”, it seems that Square Enix is taking that title in a new direction. Despite having some salt-pinching sources on this one, it looks like this Final Fantasy is dropping the Versus 13 moniker, and will instead become a core entry in the franchise according to VGLeaks speculation.

Final Fantasy 15 to be exact. It also ties in possibly to the presentation that Square Enix did at the PS4 announcement, about bringing a next-gen FF game to that platform. As an exclusive title, mind you.

FF Versus 13 has been knocking around 2007, and since then, the only real proof that anyone has seen of the game is a clothing line and a set of perfumes that it somehow inspired in the East. Versus 13 was meant to kickstart a new franchise within FF for Square Enix, but that idea instead went to their FF 13 games.

    Laughed so hard at the header Image and the openening paragraph … yet it is a laughed filled with melancholy. FF 15 versus Crystarium Nova Firaga Blizzaga Curaga Bahamut Edition will be the last game that can save my beloved series … if it doesn’t do FF justice I’m swearing off all further FF titles..Final Fantasy, I loved you … I loved you with all my heart.

      Seems like the family horse already did, with a hind leg.

        Nah, she saw you and TBones argument on the “why cod is ruining FPS” article!

        • mornelithe

          Wouldn’t that require Square Enix to instill her with at least a passable amount of AI, something clearly beyond their ability?

    I wonder if this will be the first FF to be wholly controller incapable. Hopefully SE will realise that gamers only ruin their games by clumsily fumbling about…

    Yeah that sucks honestly. The exclusive thing is annoying as I prefer everyone to enjoy the game. If Square don’t want the Xbox user base that’s up to them.

    13 is becoming 15 so expect it 2014

    Ever since Squaresoft became SquareEnix the Final Fanatsy games have gone downhill (i.e. FF10 onwards) :-( so sad really
