Nomura Talks FINAL FANTASY Versus XIII, FINAL FANTASY X HD By Erren Van Duine on January 17, 2012 at 10:28 PM

Weekly Famitsu has an interview with Tetsuya Nomura this week, and as such, he’s managed to comment once again on Versus XIII and FFX HD.

For FFX, he mentioned that the game is being developed by Square Enix’s own 1st Production Department, or rather, the studio that handles FINAL FANTASY.

Regarding Versus, Nomura had a bit more to say. He’s been checking new media to be revealed to the press, and in comparison with last year’s trailer, the expression of the visuals has increased quite a bit. Much like any modern FF, Versus will have a mix of real time and pre-rendered cutscenes. The ratio is said to be 7:3, to which the later being CG FMV created by Visual Works. The team’s ability to express realtime graphics has rapidly increased, although in some cases it couldn’t do, which is why the scene with Noctis and Stella meeting has been switched to a pre-rendered scene. Pre-rendered scenes won’t get in the way of controlling the game itself, however.

As for when we’d next see the title, Nomura says that while an event has not yet been scheduled (they’re still working out details but a reveal will happen this year), the next time we see the game, it will be running on an actual PS3.

    Woot. Versus news. Looks like we’ll be seeing something sooner than I thought, yay. This must mean there’s a chance it may actually be released this year!

    Interview indicates that Versus XIII will not be out this year. With all the time and money they’re pumping into this game, it’s merely a matter of when the 360 version will be announced.

    Regardless, I doubt the game will be at E3 2012. It’s sounding like a TGS 2012 reveal to me with FFXIV 2.0 getting the spotlight at E3 2012.

    I have some kind of love/hate relationship with Nomura-san! He always tease us and never say what we’re expecting! I think the next time we’ll see something about Versus will be on the E3, since TGS is sooo far away >__<

    I hope this comes to the Xbox 360 XD

    I’m excited for FFVersusXIII of course, but what I really want to see is some Type-0 announcement stuff, like when it’s coming out in NA. Any news on that, Erren Van Duine? Of course, it would probably be on here, but hey, never hurts to ask, right? I loved that game. That ending and Crisis Core’s ending were the saddest FF endings, IMO.
