SE will be moving to a shiny new building next Summer.

 

You can see an image of the new building here.

 

I'm praying they don't say they forgot Versus in the old building when they move >_>.

 

 

How's FF3? Got some awesomesauce names?

[Fortune86]

That building kind of looks like it should be in one of their games

[LocaRoca]

That building kind of looks like it should be in one of their games

Now that you mention it, yes it does O_O.

[Fortune86]

One month and I'll have FFXIII-2....

 

o3o

[7Deadly$ins]

I preordered mine today. Can't say I really like dealing with Best Buy though.

[Fortune86]

I'm getting mine through Amazon.

 

Which version are you getting?

[7Deadly$ins]

PS3 Collector's Edition. I wanted the novella.

[Fortune86]

I'm getting the Limited Collecter's one. I just wanted the CD.

[LocaRoca]

I don't think I'll be buying XIII-2 but I'm going to pre-order Type-0 as sonn as they give us a Western release date. Anyone else planning to buy it?

[Fortune86]

You know I am o3o

 

Finally managed to have another go at Crisis Core. Beat the Peacekeeping Troops missions(final fight against the Arachno). Level 13. Is this awesome or not? It was slated as a very hard mission.

[LocaRoca]

Too many missions for me to remember all the details but if it was slated as a very hard mission for your current level then that's pretty awesome. Are you following a guide for Crisis too?

[Fortune86]

Nope. First time ever o3o

 

Then again, I'm mostly playing CC for the story. I don't really mind if I don't get the infinity plus one weapon this time.

[NixAyum]

I thought you could name them...

 

 

You could always name one 'Fortune' if you can o3o

Haven't gotten to play it yet, but if I can I will. :3

[Fortune86]

Coolbeans

 

Anyway, who else knew about the FF drinking games?

[NixAyum]

No, omg what are they? o-o

[SuroPenguin]

FF13-2 Demo released on XBL today, and PSN tomorrow

[Fortune86]

No, omg what are they? o-o

[LocaRoca]

I'd never heard of it either but it looks fun. How long do you think it would take to finish in those conditions ?

 

Thanks for the heads up SuroPenguin.

[Fortune86]

The Odin showing up rule alone would put me in hospital. When I was leveling in the Island Closest to Heaven/Hell? he showed up every other fight

 

Edit: Okay, so what is the difference between a Limit Break and a Limit Verge?

Edited January 13, 2012 by Fortune86

[LocaRoca]

Limit Verge = Power Surge. It happens when the left and right slots have the same character.

 

Limit Break is when you managed to get the same character in all three slots.

 

So you'll always have at least as many Verges as Breaks.

[Fortune86]

Oooooohhhh...thanks

 

Couldn't they just have called it the same thing?

[NixAyum]

omg that drinking game.

 

If I didn't take forever to play 8 it'd put me in the hospital. On water.

 

Wonder if there's one for X.

[LocaRoca]

Couldn't they just have called it the same thing?

But then they'd have one less ranking to slam on your face . Don't really remember where but there's a place where you can keep track of your Breaks and Verges.

[Fortune86]

Wonder if there's one for X.

You asked.

FINALLY some Versus news! Not much but they're welcome anyway.

 

Here are the main points from a recent Famitsu interview with Tetsuya Nomura:

 

 

- Nomura recently did the latest check of the game. The visual expression capability has improved from the trailer that was released last year. (-.- It took you a year to make the characters' faces more flexible?)

 

- The game has a mix of real time and Visual Works pre-rendered CG. The ratio is 7 real time to 3 pre rendered. (O_O Scratch my previous comment.)

 

- The scene where Noctis and Stella meet for the first time has been made into a pre-rendered scene. This is because it's an example of an area where adding player control would not have a big effect. (My first thought when I saw that scene Mr. Nomula)

 

- Square Enix won't be holding an event ala last year's January press conference (1st Production Department Premier) this year. However, Nomura said that he'd like to make some sort of Versus related announcement/showing this year, although he can't say when or where. (An announcement of a possible announcement for a time window of a year. That is so SE.)

 

- The next time we see Versus XIII, we will get a look at it being controlled on actual hardware. (Any chance it'll be our hardware?... No? Then that's not really that interesting.)

 

 

Regarding Final Fantasy X HD, Nomura mentioned that development on the game has started. We previously heard some reports from a German magazine that development was in the early phases.

 

Which means that the 1st Production Department is currently working on Versus, X-HD, KH3DS and Theatrythm >_>. No chance of Versus for this year.
