Final Fantasy Versus XIII, What are your expectations about this

I have encountered free DLC for stuff on some of the games I've played. It wasn't the most ground breaking stuff ever, but the price was perfect so I'm not about to argue. (Resistance 2, Army of Two, Burnout Paradise, and Batman: Arkham Asylum all have free DLC.)

Though for FF13, I'm sure they could have some free weapon packs, maybe a multiplayer mode or something and that'd be cool. (It'd be awesome if they had a co-op mode for the storyline.)


Favouritism breeds Capitalism. And Capitalism feeds back into favouritism. Behold the circle. (People like something so companies cater to that like. The more stuff created the more favouritism generated and the more people are willing to spend.)

If Square cared, why didn't they show from FF6 and down? (I may be wrong on this, but I was sure that no one from FF6 or under appeared.) I mean FF6 is pretty popular right?

Screen time does indeed matter because if they only showed Cloud/Sephiroth for 3 seconds people would be annoyed. Especially if there were other FF characters that had longer appearances.
And you can't say that if your favourite character appeared for only like 2 seconds you wouldn't at least be bugged a bit by it. Especially if there were other characters from same series with longer apperances.

I couldn't have said it better VZ. I mean, it's a known fact that final fantasy VII was by far one of the most sucsseful FF games in history. It's storyline was great, it's characters were also great and the "new" type of gameplay that it showed was incredible. It marked a new beggining for RPG video games and for the players aswell. So it's only natural that final fantasy VII ends up getting more attention than the rest of the other ff installements, even if it's time is already gone.
I may go as far as to say that people at square enix do take some favoritism towards the game, not towards themselfs. i mean, as far as we know everyone at square enix may be disgusted and traumatized about ff VII, but they know one thing: The title sells alot! and for that same reason, we've been seing so many other installements that are connected to this game, because i believe that people at square enix don't want ff VII to die...EVER! Now that's when capitalism enters the play, and the secondary actors are us, the players that have had our minds corrupted by the awesomness that is Final Fantays VII.
Like someone in Soul Calibur would say:"... it transcends time and history...", and that's exactly what people at square enix are doing, because this isn't just about the old players from 1996, it's also about the new players, and what better way to involve those players by bombarding them with tons of movies, games, action figures, WHATEVER!
It's a vicious cicle, the reality of capitalism and favouritism...it's only up to us to decide wich reality are we willing to accepet...

I personally am rather indifferent to all the sequels FF7 has had, yes, it's popular, yes, I like it, but I'm going to get Dissidia because I've always wanted to play a crossover game.

I wanna kick Cloud's ass with Zidane.

I personally think Square should focus on the original 13 then the other two 13 games afterward.

Yes DM, but you've got admit that Final Fantasy Versus XIII darker and mystirious tone does make the game a little more appealing than Final Fantasy XIII. Though i can't wait till FF XIII comes out either.
And yes, i too would love to see Cloud getting his butt handled to him by most powerfull genome in the world

DLC for FFXIII has been considered. They decided on new maps, weapons, and monsters. However VZ, Square would not release a DLC giving the players an option of co-op story mode. If they wanted Co-op it would be released with the game. They will not put DLC that will do anything with the story.

Versus XIII is an interesting game. Yeah its been in development since 2003, it can come out in Japan as early as Winter 2010 or Early 2011. If not then Later.

Gameplay is similar to Kingdom Hearts. Gives it that feel of an epic Action RPG with dark, Tragic Shakespeare atmosphere.

Early test footage and gameplay was shown behind closed doors in the mega theatre at the TGS 2009, but no one leaked it T.T, however it will be show at E3 2010

Adios!
