Right, I have been searching for so long now for how far the development of FFVXIII is but I can't find anything anywhere. Here is a task for everyone if they are willing. Get some info on how far development is, how well it s going and also, could we get some comformation if those In-game screenshots are real? Thanks Everyone! :D

I dont think any one can know. There has been almost no information given out as to the stage at which all the FNC games are at. The most development related thing is that there was a mention of the possibility of a demo this year, which may suggest the development has a little momentum behind it. Other than that, most of the info you may find will probably be made up.

Well, in the FamiTsuu investigation of the 2008 release rumor, I believe the SE public relations people said that FFXIII was "coming along nicely," or something to that extent. Who knows exactly what that means ~_~ And who knows what that means for Versus, too.

I'll keep looking around, but I don't think there's any concrete information available on this, either~

Sure, one of us will just sneak into S-E HQ and find out for you >.>

Well, Nomura has yet to decide on a concept for the protagonist's voice, if that helps? :lol:

Annoyingly, hes the kind of character SE may decide to make a mute for "personal effect". "Hes so dark and mysterious that he NEVER SPEAKS (and we couldnt be assed to voice him properly)"

"So, theres a big fucking monster over there, wanna go fight it?"

"Mmmmmmmo. MO!"

"Thats the spirit! Go get 'im!"

yeah its like pokemon and zelda, they never speak. and god knows what else.

I think the fact that they're still not sure what kind of voice to give him means they're going to give him a voice >___>;

Muteness only works with pushover Suikoden protagonists~

I hope he's not like Fuujin from VIII. She annoyed me.

I can imagine it will be some thing likes Vincents, i dont mean in pitch, i mean in the way he speaks and sentence structure, kinda silent but thoughtful when he does speak.

Pulse

I actually think he may have a very relaxed, deep voice. But possibly soft? I dont know, i remember someone saying somewhere that people who are not insecure are most of the time soft spoken, its the people who are all guns blaring when they speak that are insecure. Maybe the shotgun dude is like this? As he seems to be the type of character who talks alot, he may be insecure about the prince or something? I dont know? We are best not to assume anything until they release a trailer with voice acting in, whether it be japanese or english lol.

By the way, i resent the remark that making a character a mute is unoriginal. Its harder for the creator of that character to express what their character is feeling, whether it be a book, film, or game.

You know, in my opinion they're supposed to be making a battle system to produce fights like those in Final Fantasy Advent Children right? So maybe he might end up having the guy that voiced Cloud or something. I think his personality will change through the game and will have a slightly deep slightly soft voice. I think it will add to his dark personality, won't you?

in Dragon Quest the main guy has no voice lol it works but id prefere a nice voice... something like a mature and sure of him self voice.

idk lets just wait and see, just hope they dont put a Tidus voice on him. lol or Waka :D

O.o I'm pretty sure his voice will be as sexy as he looks. >.> Probably somewhat quiet but with a rather commanding tone.... A take charge sorta tone. <.< That'd be annoying.... kinda.... :wub: *gets shot by seriousness of everyone*

They should give him a dark voice. Only a voice that speaks a few times in the game until he opens up. :D

BlankChocobo

Feb 09 2008, 04:58 AM

Oh, here's this thread. XD

I have no clue what kind of voice they will give him. Nomura doesn't even know at this point~

Let's see... as for the progress of Versus, I'd say it's not going so fast. T_T I wonder if we'll even see this game in Japan by 2009!?

Zen

Feb 09 2008, 05:00 AM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T_T I don't want to wait that long omg!

I really don't see the U.S getting this game until at least the summer of next year or later, I mean come on they are still making changes on the prince for god sake... Stupid square-enix, making changes this late in the game

That's the way these things go, I speculate some time in 2009 as well.

God, having to wait that long will drive most of the fans (like me) over the edge.

Just order a copy from Japan when it comes out. America shares the same region as Japan on Blu-ray...so don't yell at me if you don't share the same region as Japan. Its just a suggestion.

Ya that seems like a good idea for people who cant wait for the game. I said this is on a another thread somewhere here, that there are so many other AAA titles coming out that can keep us busy until the FFXIII compilation is released. So people relax.^_^

That actually is a good idea.

Oh yay, by then I'll have to be paying my own friggin bills and taxes. I won't HAVE enough to buy the game. But in all seriousness, god freaking dammit... That's an awful long time from now. I don't think I can wait two years at the pace they're releasing information and trailers. It's like every year you get a few magazines with tiny bits of info and a trailer with cut scenes. Geh...

Then again. we have waited longer for other games... At least they're spitting out games like KH and Dissidia to keep up waiting for FFXIII and Versus...=[

I think I read somewhere a few weeks ago that the completion rate for XIII is 13%, and Versus was on 1.3%, I am not sure how reliable that source is though... although it wouldn't surprise me if that was correct.

Naunen

Feb 21 2008, 07:15 AM

It probably was just a play on numbers.

Maiya Saiyado

Feb 21 2008, 07:54 AM

Oh, I read that too. It was on like IGN. It was like half a year ago when they posted that info though. So, I'm pretty sure they have more completed than that.

Thimien

Feb 21 2008, 11:01 AM

as far i can see, PS3 games since they are region free, and blue rays being as big as they are, would have the langu option, so FFs now might have a same day world wide releace. Would be cool.

You guys think it would effect the market? couse if that was to hpn, there wouldnt be a FF country market anymore, you can get from where ever you want lol

I read that Final Fantasy XIII was 13% done and Versus was 1.3 % done just a few days ago on this very website. I must really be behind on whats going on in todays world. But I also wouldn't be surprised if that was true but all we can do is wait and see.

Thats an old thread and was more than over a year ago now. Some people speculated it to be a play on numbers. Development for 13 was scrapped for the PS2 5 months or so after they started, and then they went straight on to ps3, after they discovered the capabilities of the PS2 couldn't tell the story. As for Versus..... I have no fucking clue. lol

I reckon this comes out mid/late 2009. Early 2009 if we're lucky. Late 2008 if we're luckier (which we're not)

last thing i read they were testing out the teleporting system of the prince during battles... (that means they got the stories, and setting finished, i guess)

i believe in order to test various battle controls you need all the environments and battle sites ready...

hey because I'm studying Video game designs and so people need environments and battle sites before they test the batle system but who knows how square-enix is doing it.

SE should be doing the same... this is a next-gen game, a lot more to consider during battles if we look back at playstation 1 games.... so ya in rder to prevent glitches they need to test it thoroughly, alsoo i think the teleport system will also play a (big) role in the story, so i guess they're quite far?:|
