first off: do you really believe it stays that way, and second off: Final Fanatasy drops in our expectation 40% in a day. This should effect the sales of this tittle. Hell right know we predict that Versus will sell more on the PS3 than XIII. That makes no sense what so ever.
"Reports that development for Final Fantasy Versus XIII is on hold are false," the publisher said in a statement passed on to Eurogamer. "The truth of the situation is that when free, some staff from the Versus team have been helping with the XIII team on development of Final Fantasy XIII. Development for both titles is continuing as originally scheduled."
@vGInfidel, Will this mean SE will push for 2008 release ? I can hardly wait for FF13. This might be the game that finally push me to buy PS3 (No, I don't like MGS series, not my type of gaming).
Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been temporarily suspended and its programming team transitioned into assist mode. Versus director Tetsuya Nomura explained that Square Enix's top priority is completing work on Final Fantasy XIII, which means the Versus team has placed its project on ice and headed across the hall to lend a hand. A few remaining designers are still working on conceptual art for Versus, and the story is supposedly complete.
While many of us have (perhaps foolishly) assumed that Final Fantasy XIII would be one of the "killer apps" for Sony's PlayStation 3 in 2008, suddenly it's not looking so good. Last May, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada told reporters in Tokyo that the game would require more time. "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question," he said.
