New Final Fantasy XIII info - new trailers, delays
Yep, news isn't so great right now for fans waiting for Final Fantasy 13...
Firstly, reporting on content at the Square Party, nothing hugely new was shown - a trailer was shown in the closed theatre (not released to the public still), which showed the blonde-haired male we've seen summon some kind of monster. A few new scenes of Lightning fighting were shown, Cocoon was given some more screen-time, yet nothing huge.
As for Nomura's Versus 13, nothing of particular interest happened, except the Jump Festa trailer was shown and extended. We still haven't seen the original version yet - which apparently features the title's protagonist teleporting around a battlefield using his swords, cutting down many enemy soldiers - so don't expect to see this any time soon.
Not content with annoying fans just a little, word has hit GameSpot that Final Fantasy 13 itself might not even be released this year. Reportedly, Yoichi Wada has told press that "It will take a bit more time," and to not expect it this fiscal year - so the earliest it can now be released is probably Summer 2008 for Japan.
We'll get back to you if any of this is changed, and if Square actually has something to tide us over with in this time.
The only one I'm looking forward to is Versus. Regular XIII looks lame as hell.
how many final fantasys do we need?!
