Archive for the ‘Final Fantasy Agito XIII’ Category

TGS brought us new footage that we have not yet seen of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII. The beginning of the Versus footage has Noctis near a fence and the logo of the game is on the bottom left. Then, you can see him go through a deserted wasteland area in the daytime. Shortly after, the footage changes to a street at night, where Noctis encounters a Behemoth creature that he must fight. As Noctis fights the Behemoth with his sword, you can see blood splatter from the hits that the enemy takes. Then, the footage ends with the Fabula Nova Crystallis logo on a black background.

The beginning of the Agito footage seems to start with a CG scene, with the logo on the bottom right. It appears that there is a summon crest of some sort. Then, it goes to soldiers walking in a line preparing for war. The rest of the footage shows off the battle system of the game. It looks pretty interesting, with the HP bars at the bottom, and the characters on the screen battling enemies. The enemies range from typical soldiers, to huge enemies, and flying enemies. There is one large enemy shown climbing up a building. The environments seem to be quite detailed as well. There seems to be a plain location, a desert location, and a location where it’s raining. The footage then ends with the characters all in a pose.

For now, all we have is off screen sort of bad quality footage. Nomura has spoken recently on Twitter, and has stated, “This time, all the PVs from the Open and Closed theaters will be released.” So, we should expect to see the footage that was released during TGS to be online in high quality soonish. He goes on to say, “We’re having outside contractors make the sites for each game, so it seems that uploading the videos isn’t a simple thing.” Basically, it isn’t going to be that soon, but it shouldn’t be longer than maybe a few months. The last thing he tweets about is, “Please wait a bit for the release of all.” Patience is a virtue for the footage, but at least we were able to get a taste of them instead of waiting for Square to release them online.

More information on both games should be at the Fabula Nova Crystallis conference on January 11, 2011.

New Final Fantasy Agito XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII news comes from an unlikely source, 3rd Birthday’s Twitter. About Versus, Nomura tweeted that, “Versus has had many difficulties, and past method of production have been completely inapplicable, but these are the difficulties of birth, so we are working hard. We have a lot to announce, but because we’re going in order, I can’t say too much yet.” He also talked a bit more about Versus saying, “There have been many questions regarding fields. It’s not a completely open world. It’s like the 2D FF games in HD. Although, in terms of looks, it’s not a top-down view, it’s like the screenshots that have been released. You’ll move through the world from that view.”

Besides the talk of just Versus, he also brought up the voice casting for Versus and Agito. Nomura states that, “Agito and Versus have different production styles and progress states, but they’re both presently undergoing voice casting. 3rd’s recording will end shortly. Next up is Agito.” Also, don’t expect to see Versus or Agito at Gamescom, because Nomura stated that both games will not show up at this event. It also might be some time before we both see both games release as well with this tweet, “There are a number of unannounced titles. These will come before Agito and Versus. Some have finished voice recording. Announcements will take place in Japan.” Hopefully, those other games won’t take too long, and maybe we can get some more information on Versus and Agito this coming TGS.
