Final Fantasy Versus 13 Put on Hold

by Aaron Linde, Jun 18, 2008 4:30pm PDT

The team behind Square Enix's action-RPG offshoot Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3) has been pulled off the project to aid in the completion of the main series installment Final Fantasy XIII (PS3), Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu reports.

Going by a translation from gaming forum NeoGAF, Versus XIII will remain on hold until Final Fantasy XIII has wrapped. Both titles have suffered several delays since their announcement, and a firm release date has not yet been specified.

The latest edition of Square Enix's flagship RPG series, FF13 was unveiled at E3 2006 alongside Versus XIII and a third game, Final Fantasy Agito XIII, for mobile phones. The titles have yet to be demonstrated in playable form at any conferences.

I'm just glad to hear ANY news about FFXIII -- Square is so tight-lipped about this game I was beginning to think that maybe it was all just a big practical joke.

How long have they been working on this game now?

I'm thinking this has to do with the success of MGS 4, and Square wanting at least one massive product out relatively soon.

Probably for the best. Even for a company as big as Square, working on two AAA (presumably) titles for the PS3, several fairly big cross platform and/or 360 titles, and a metric fuckton of handheld games has got to take its toll.
