Don't Hold Your Breath For FFXIII

IGN is reporting that the next chapter in the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XIII, has barely gotten into the production phase. "According to Sony's press materials, the highly anticipated RPG sequel is now 13% complete. Yes, a low, unlucky completion percentage. But thankfully it's not as low as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which is listed as 1.3%!" And remember, even if it's completed sometime late next year or early in 2009 folks in the states will probably have a wait while the game is localized.

As expected

Considering it took FFXII five years to be released, and that it has only been out since Oct 31 in the US, I would have been VERY surprised were I to hear that FFXIII was anywhere near completion.

But, I guess that will continue a pattern: I got my PS2 when FFXII came out, I guess I'll get my PS3 when FFXIII hits shelves.

Anyway this is a good thing; I would expect FFXIII to be a very polished title; rushing it out would be a bad idea. FFXII re-established the series as one that sets standards, with its great reviews from everyone. FFXIII needs to continue that tradition, if anything for Sony's sake.

hmmm

Those numbers are bogus, they're just having fun with the whole 13 thing.

I wasn't complaining, I was failing to be funny.

They would probably have had

[Farakin]

the game finished if it wasn't for the 678,934 hours of cinematics that they had to make. When a game is 10hours play time and 45 hours of movies it isn't a game anymore.

Re:Why do we want FFVII remade again?

[bigstrat2003]

We want FFVII remade again because a good number of us (about half, in my experience) consider it to be the finest RPG Square has ever produced (the other half, in my experience, being proponents of FFVI). Just cause YOU don't like it doesn't mean a hell of a lot of other people don't. Your post is attempting to bring about another instance of one of the most pointless discussions since "Mac vs. PC".

Those of us who like FF7 honestly disagree with the points you made. We aren't, as we are so often accused, blinded by the fact that it was our first FF (well, some probably are, no one I've ever talked to is). Seriously, dude, let. This. One. Die. You'll never convince an FF7 fan of your points, and we'll never convince an FF7 hater. What's the point, other than to start a flame war?
