There is now talk from Yoshinori Kitase that Final Fantasy Versus XIII might not make a 2011 release. Kitase’s very words on Versus are, “We have no release date information to update. Unfortunately, we can’t say anything about that. We can’t commit ourselves to 2011 either.” Sure, this year isn’t 2011, and many things can change in a year. If not, then Versus might not see the light of day until 2012, or even worse, 2013. This goes in line with what Tetsuya Nomura stated recently, that he wishes to release other titles he’s been working on before he releases Versus and Agito. On the positive side, Final Fantasy Versus XIII could still see a Fall 2011 release.

Community Thread: Versus Producer: “Can’t commit to 2011 release”
If you are looking forward to new footage of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and/or Final Fantasy Agito XIII, then you are in luck once TGS rolls around. Nomura has stated on the 3rd Birthday Twitter that Versus, as well as Agito, will be a part of a Fabula Nova Crystallis video at TGS. This video will be shown on monitors in the demo line areas, and will not be a part of the open theater. The footage of Versus will include the scenes that were in both the Famitsu and Dengeki magazines. The Agito footage will be totally new and will resemble what the final product will look like. Nomura stated that he isn’t able to show much due to the fact that both games have no set release date.

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.
