Combined Versus and Agito Trailer at TGS this September |
 |
Although it's hardly the thrilling news we expected, Nomura has confirmed that there will be new footage of both Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII at this years Tokyo Game Show next month.
Instead of independent trailers, the footage will be combined into a joint Versus and Agito trailer "under the FNC banner". Nomura also confirmed that the trailer will only be a minute long. Even more disappointing is that the trailer won't receive a public release. It will instead appear on monitors in the demo area of the Square Enix booth.
For those of you lucky enough to see the trailer, Nomura has stated it includes footage of the Versus screenshots revealed in June's Dengeki which means there will be actual gameplay footage at last! For some reason though, it will be devoid of any command menus or HUD elements that will appear in the final game. The Agito footage will be brand new and apparently more like what they expect the finish product to look like. |

Director Comments on Agito's Graphics |
|
Hajime Tabata, the director of Final Fantasy Agito XIII, has found time to Tweet about something other than the protagonist from his other project, The 3rd Birthday, having showers. Yesterday, he discussed the graphics of both games. He said that the quality of the realtime graphics in both games is astounding, beyond that which was achieved in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. He attributes this to the team now being skilled in working with the hardware.
It seems that, from a technical side, the game is in good hands. And if nothing else, it will at least look good.
Thanks to forum member mokaloka for bringing it to our attention.

Final Fantasy Versus & Agito XIII Voice Casting Begins |
|
With Nomura still focused on other projects, Final Fantasy Versus XIII's progress has been slow. Well slow is an understatement. However, he recently posted a few updates concerning the development of both Versus and Agito on the official 3rd Birthday Twitter.
In his post, he says that both games are being produced in different styles and are at different stages of development. However, he does confirm that both Versus and Agito are finally undergoing voice casting. As The 3rd Birthday's voice recording is almost over, Nomura says Agito will be next. With all of these projects being worked on simultaneously, it comes as no surprise that he also confirms that he's working on a number of unannounced titles which will be released before Agito and Versus. It seems like these games have been inevitably delayed even further.

Final Fantasy Agito XIII Tabata & Kitase Mini-Interview |
|
Dengeki has had the chance to talk to Final Fantasy Agito XIII director Hajime Tabata and producer Yoshinori Kitase about how the third installment in the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation is progressing.
At the moment Tabata is focusing on his other project, The 3rd Birthday but he says the development of Agito is progressing steadily. "I believe it will be an FF that differs from the image fans have." When Dengeki asked what he meant he answered "We're making it into a game where you can feel the true pain and weight as a war story. Because it has some harsh portrayals, Kitase is frequently making checks."
Kitase continues "There are parts where you see a soldier burned and falling over after being struck by fire. Initially, I warned them to not go too far in their expressions, but now I'm telling them to do whatever they want." To justify the long wait, Tabata adds "It's a full spec Final Fantasy that's multiplayer and can be played on the PSP. Please anticipate it greatly."
