[PS3, 3DS] Nomura talks Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3D

Remember Final Fantasy Versus XIII? That elusive piece of vaporware apparently still in development over at Square Enix. Well, the topic came up in a recent interview with Famitsu. Will it ever exist? Tetsuya Nomura apparently wants to make some sort of announcement this year regarding the game, but he couldn't set any sort of concrete date. He also added that the ratio of real-time to pre-rendered cutscenes will be something along the lines of 7:3. On top of that, Nomura also assures readers that the next time we see the game it will be played on actual hardware.

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance also came up, he touched on spoiler-free teases about the ending, stating that it will be somewhat different to the usual Kingdom Hearts endings. Apparently the original ending was not approved, which caused Nomura to change the ending. The game will also feature a secret ending that players will be able to unlock, it will feature shocking developments and will link the game to the next installment in the series.

He also touched on Final Fantasy X HD that is currently in the pipeline, mentioning that development has officially started on the project. So hopefully we'll get to hear more about that in the future.

[PS3] Final Fantasy Versus XIII Details, Gameplay, Exclusivity

[PS3] Final Fantasy Versus XIII Details, Gameplay, Exclusivity The main showpony for Square Enix's recent event was of course Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the game we've waited so long for any information about. Square Enix delivered today somewhat, giving us a six minute trailer that will be publicly available in good quality on the 27th of January. Here is a recorded version from the event until then (it will probably be pulled down soon).
Firstly, the game is still exclusively for Sony's PlayStation 3, which comes amidst a lot of speculation that the game would break exclusivity and it wouldn't have been surprising. As well as that, the trailer showed off some spectacular action and we finally got to see the games very Kingdom Hearts-esque combat. The trailer also showed off some epic set pieces backed up by wonderful music. We also witnessed a character board a two-legged tank device and control it around the battlefield.

No sign of a world map feature yet, but anything could come up between now and the launch of the title. Stay tuned for more details as they arrive.
