Save Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Its not the other console's fault the game was mediocre...SE just need to up there game.-Hoax-

While this is a step in the right direction for gamers to unite, it's too late now.

I've always said that if gamers were a bit smarter and took control, they could have developers eating out of the palm of their hands instead of the other way around.

Now you're at the mercy of sales and a company choosing whether to risk it all for a new IP when making trash garners more profits at less effort.

FFXIII story is just not well told, that alone makes me regret my purchase.

The fact that its as linear as 3d mario was not the 360s fault

FFXIII was not the greatest FF game. FFXIII is not the trash many people proclaim it to be. While the story is somewhat badly paced and stale, the battle system is very good, and the graphics and music are amazing.

I don't think trying to band together is going to change everything, especially for a game that is so far into development. If you don't like it, don't buy it. That will tell SE to increase their efforts.

After 17 hours, up is the only direction I've pushed on the analog stick. I don't know about anything being gimped but I'd like a little more open-ness.Floppy_Jim

I hope this game stays exclusive, that or PS3 should start un-exclusiving previously exclusive 360 games.

Umm I enjoyed FF XIII but I have always been more interested in Versus so I agree lets make Versus better then XIII

You come from gametrailers...I HATE that site i was a user several times but...NVM. On topic ff13 never looked bad to me i never played it though. And is it true that versus 13 is coming to xbox 360?

No it is not the 360's fault that XIII wasnt amazing, but if it was an exclusive odds are it would have had both dubs, slightly better graphics, more cinema and maybe more. They should take advantage of the PS3 and make Versus XIII exclusive like they said they were going to!

At least they are not taking away from anyone though, like MS did from PC users with Alan Wake, the frikkin jerks. but I don't wanna go off topic on that right now ;).

Yeah indeed, i also bought my system way before in 2007 mainly for Final Fantasy. Versus needs saving before they ruin it indeed

I sign.

Versus is supposed to be different from FF 13 anyway right?

Whatever, don't care anymore if it goes multiplatform, gimped or have to change disc to enter different town. It's either no buy or bargain bin. SE trapped in their high end graphic and cinematic stuff. They spent most in those things and forget about content balance. Talk about double edged sword, can't lower already set high standard in previous game. There are better JRPGs than SE's out there.

I'll support by buying their next mediocre game USED! DUN DUN DUNNN!

I admit I see both points of the argument but what solution really truly benefits Square Enix in the end and will let them spend even more money or hire more people to help with games is what truly stands out in my mind. I would rather 360 or hell even Wii get this game too in the end. It is in Square Enix's best interest to make more money off of the game and cater to their entire fanbase. By making people have a PS3 you are alienating half of your fanbase right off the bat. Not to mention all the Wii fans that are missing out on Square Enix games and are forced to buy a 360 or PS3 to play the latest releases. Honestly, I would rather see it come to all 3 platforms than to focus more energy and time into a game and making us wait another year or two for it to be released.

But I also ask that the 3 big console makers to get together and at least adopt some kind of industry standard for their gaming machines so that every player has a chance to play a game on the console of their choice. I prefer a Playstation personally. I also enjoy the diversity between gaming systems. But when you are too diverse and the options are too complex between the 3.... gamers lose in the end.

So I am sorry GT. I support multiplatform, non-exclusivity. You should never buy a console because it has X game. You should buy a console because you like the brand name, the history, the design and in general you many just be a loyal fan of that console. Exclusivity hurts everyone.

Ok, I may agree with data storage on a medium and all that..

But Final Fantasy has been going down this path every since ten. I'm really not surprised with thirteen's outcome to be honest and I'm not about to buy it anytime soon at a full game price. I don't even feel it's worth it anymore. Especially with how twelve turned out.

i already knew Versus was going to 360... pretty obvious since SE is not supporting the PS3 AT ALL with JRPG's, seriously 360 has quite the amount of SE RPG's while the PS3 only has FFXIII and Star Ocean...... shame... Last Remnant was booted,And Infinite Undiscovery was never coming to PS3. How the tables have turned no?

I'll be honest, it wouldn't surprise me at all if FF Versus XIII went multiplat. I could only hope SE doesn't gimp out on the PS3 version. And btw, FFXIIIis actually a really good game, I'm still baffled that people compare it to other FFs considering every FF is different.

I've come all the way from GameTrailers.com

Greetings. I've come all the way from GameTrailers.comWahaAdnan

You've come all the way... on the web?! Lol. All you've done is setup something on gametrailers then gone around toa bunch of other forums to try to drum up traffic and interest. I've seen almost this exact same thread on two other sites I visit. What's the matter? Gametrailers.com not got enough members of it's own? lol

started a little project so to speak. XIII didn't turn out as many fans hoped, and was definitely one of the more weaker installments, but enough of that. WahaAdnan

Constructive argument usually involves taking everyone's point of view into consideration and not starting out your post saying that something is "definitely one of the more weaker instalments".

Let me start of by saying this has nothing to do with the 'console war' going, or whatever fanboys call it today. This little organization we have on GameTrailers is called 'Save Final Fantasy Versus XIII' In short - We do NOT want cut content We do NOT want another gimped down Final Fantasy. We want Nomura to take full adventage of the BluRay, for we can have e.i. English and Japanese dub, a feature that was taken out of XIII because of the 360's limitations of the DVD. WahaAdnan

Nothing to do with a console war topic. Everything you mentioned there is pure X360 vs PS3.

EDIT : Sorry for the double post. For some reason I couldn't use all those quote tags in the one post.

We want a fully open world experince, or at least a less liniar game, like Kingdom Hearts for an example, where you chose freely where to go first, and when to go there. A lot of us PS3 owners actually bought this machine for 599$ FOR THIS GAME. We're simply asking all the Tetsuya Nomura fans out there, and FF fans as well. Support our case. Save Final Fantasy Versus XIII! Note - This is not an invite to GT.com xD please don't ban me!WahaAdnan

Whilst I agree that many people seemed dissapointed with FF13 I, personally, found it to be a fantastic game. Sure it was a little linear but that's not much different from X, X-2 or XII! The battle systems were great and the most innovative since VII. The story was amazing and the world was fantastic.

Final Fantasy versus XIII is another game set in the same world but with different characters. Apart from that, some charcter info and other dribs and drabs we don't know much about the game. How can you claim that something needs to be saved before you've even seen it?!

Besides which, one of the things I love about SE is that they are innovative with their gameplay. If they simply stuck with what worked for them we never would have had the move to VII which changed the way I played JRPGs. They win some, they lose some. There's a lot of love for FF13 and a lot of hate but people still buy it.

Personally I loved FF13 and, if versus is at least as good as 13 was, I'll be a happy boy.

That said if you can get enough people together to bring this to Square Enix's attention then grats to you. I'm pretty certain they're not going to redesign the game for you now but you can certainly try. Also why didn't you form your organisation on Square's site instead of gametrailers? I'm pretty certain you'd have more chance of getting heard if you were an active mmber of thir forums.

i gave up on final fantasy its time for it to be put to bed

Wada is a dollar whore so I believe that he has already decided that this is going multi-platform. He's just trying to break it to us a bit more gently than last time.

Still doesn't alter that he has gone back on his word and he has no honour, but I think everyone knows that anyway.

The game doesn't even exist for all I know. There's little to no info about it.

Well I made a decision a long time ago never to buy SE products ever again, Nothing to do with FF13, I just dont think they give 2 craps about thier customers, even thier most dedicated ones

sadly, the reason why FFXIII was a letdown is 100% the "other console"s fault : gimped gameplay mechanics (controlling only one character, severely limite levelling system, no town thus no sub quests, shops, animations, music for each town, only one aeon for each character ...), the linearity are all due to X360 technical limitations and the tastes of the X360 players

so yes, you're right about "save FFversus XIII" as it will obviously be a sub-par game if it goes to multi-platform

I thought FFXIII was one of the best in the series so if its the xbox 360's fault then make ff xiii versus multiplat right about now ! :DMegaman5364

Are you serious? The Japanese version is PS3 only and featured the same gameplay you just listed above. How is that the "other consoles" fault?

I don't care much about exclusivity, what I would like from Square Enix is great Final Fantasy title. There hasn't been one for me since FFX which is made by Square Soft...

This is of course just my feelings and not a general statement, however I'm hopping VS XIII will be outstanding, with Nomura working hard on it - there is a lot to be exited about.

If you want VERSUS to be saved then get a better director for the game.

Its the developers fault XIII was lacking, not non-exclusivity.

Hopefully the multiplat profits S-E made get put into VERSUS developement.

Considering FFXIII sold very, very well, and its critical scores and user scores are very positive, I find the "FFXIII sucked." argument to be stupid. While not my favourite series, I really enjoyed it and wait excitedly for FF Versus XIII and FF Agito XIII. People need to sop thinking their personal opinions are going to actually matter. If you didn't like it, fine. All the power to ya. But a lot of people did, and all the b****ing after impressive sales isn't going to do anything.

versus has an airship already....i think nomura said it was like a traditional ff instead of 13....its on n4g.com somewhere (don't go to n4g.com it gave me a malware virus)

Final Fantasy XIII wasn't that bad imo, I had fun with that game. As for versus I definitely want it to stay exclusive.
