Versus is never going to come out. That way they can milk the KH series for as long as they want and keep saying "oh can't make KH3 because the team is still working on versus"

Hey, you never know.

Too Human came out.
Duke Nukem Forever now has a trailer and an official street date.

Because eeeeeveryone was asking for XIII-2, so it's obvious it had to be put over Versus on the release priority list.

Right?


Those SE guys enjoy this "my way or the highway" crap too much. So I'm off.

I'm pretty sure this game was well into development before the reviews for FFXIII were even out. Its why we're seeing it within two years rather than five.

Plus, Kitase isn't directing it, which is its own blessing.

I'm not much into S&M-play themed art.

Re: Square Enix Event today VXIII, AgitoXIII, and Duodecim full reveals!

Have to agree with Raydeus. Would of loved to be well into Kingdom Hearts 3 by now instead of FFXIII-Agito-Duodildo-X-4 or whatever the hell we're calling the games now.

I'm also with you there, Etra. An HD Kingdom Hearts would just about make my penis explode. At this rate we won't see it until 2013 at the earliest.

Wait, I just thought of something, you know how they're doing all these HD-versions of games? I would die for an HD Kingdom Hearts I & II compilation... that would keep me from complaining for another year or so...

Except KH3 has never been officially announced. A game designer saying he would like to do Kingdom Hearts III or a Final Fantasy VII remake is not confirmation the project is greenlighted.

Also FF Type-0 isn't Nomura's game, Hajima Tabata's directing (Crisis Core, The 3rd Birthday). Neither were FFXIII and FFXIII-2 aside from character art (Kitase on FFXIII, FFX-2's director on FFXIII-2).

KH: 358/2 Days was farmed out to the third party h.a.n.d and co-directed by Tomohiro Hasegawa. Tabata co-directed Coded with Nomura, this project was also farmed out to h.a.n.d later for the DS remake of the cell phone game. Chain of Memories was done by Jupiter.

The Dissidia games are directed by Takeshi Arakawa, Nomura sits in the producer seat.

Tai Yasue co-directed BBS, now he's working on Vol. 2. Cheers.

So this leaves Nomura doing most of character/monster concept art for many of these games, directing and producing FFvs.XIII and only kind of directing a lot of KH stuff.

He's a busy guy and apparently enjoys staying busy. Not all people are like that, but he's one of those guys that can take the load heaped on him.

Then there's the reality of licensing. That's just a whole bunch of fun or KH is concerned, most likely, but it does affect what projects take priority for that series.

He has stated he has started formulating the plot of KH3

Well, not too hard now that BBS Vol. 2 and DDD fill the rest of the gaps. There's probably no gaps left to fill now.

Still, formulating doesn't meant its in production yet. Hell, just based on what we know, we kinda know what has to be done here.

I mean, I'm just going out on a limb here, but

stuff

Ventus doesn't wake up, Aqua we already know is still in the Realm of Darkness, Sora and Riku have to do the Mark of Mastery and Xehanort is probably somewhere having possessed somebody or reconstituted himself as Xemnas at least before they just find a way to get rid of the guy forever and bring back everyone whose lives that he's ruined.

I never said the project was being worked on. I merely said I would of liked one over FFXIII-Crysta-S&M-Crisis-Explosion-5.

Well, they're making KH games, so I don't know what to tell you aside from you're choosing to wait it out on what very well could be the wrong platform.

I would prefer an actual continuation of the KH series. Filling in gaps of the storyline that I really wouldn't of needed to know (and, honestly, don't) for KH3 doesn't peak my interest.

Few more details from Famitsu via Nomura:

* The game does not have a job system, but enemies will have different jobs like dragoons and summoners
* You can use summons in the game
* There will be a large amount of weapons to choose from, such as swords, spears, lances, axes, pistols, machine guns, rifles, bazookas and shot guns
* Noctis's military advisor is called Ignis (man with glasses), he is specialized in long range assist attacks like tossing knives
* The other two playable characters are brawler and gunner
* You can find weak points in large enemies, and you can attack different body parts
* You can chain attacks by switching the character you control, much like a tag fighting game
* You can revive characters who run out of HP, with the exception of Noctis, the game ends when he dies
* The game will have a higher difficulty level
