It seems just like yesterday sometimes, when that first trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII was shown at E3 2006. It blew me away. I was instantly in love.
After this trailer, news on development went cold. Nothing was said for years, except the odd mention that yes, it was still being created. Then finally a new trailer featuring gameplay was released.
Again however, news went cold for a couple years. Skip ahead to last year's E3, and we were all in for a big surprise.
Hurray! New hope! And it looked fantastic. But then at E3 this year, there was no mention again. Lots of fans, myself included, were beginning to get skeptical. Would this game ever see the light of day? This past week, we got some clear answers with 2 new trailers.
and
Along with these videos, came a possible demo release date of March 2015! Unfortunately, the director Tetsuya Nomura has stepped aside to focus on development of Kingdom Hearts 3 and other unannounced titles, giving the reigns to former co-director Hajime Tabata. Now whether Nomura was forced out, or stepped aside, is still anyone's guess, but with the bulk of the game seemingly done, a 2015 release seems likely now :mrgreen:
