Let's just go over all the stuff I've heard people say over the years...
- Versus has NEVER had a release date. Ever. Those who thought it was supposed to be released x amount of months after XIII were sorely mistaken.
- XIII, XIII-2, and Type-0 did NOT halt Versus XIII's development in any way, shape, or form. XIII and XIII-2 had one development team and one director. Type-0 had a different development team and a different director. Versus XIII also has its own development team and director (the director being Nomura).
- XIII/XIII-2, Type-0, and Versus are NOT connected. They are not in the same world. They are not in the same universe. The only thing they share is a common mythology, and even then the interpretations of that mythology will be different between games. They are not, and will never be related. They were never INTENDED to be related. And the inclusion of a XIII-2 to the FNC series did not in any way impact the other games.
- The game, despite what you make think, has not been in development since 2006 (the year it was announced). In fact, the game never started development until 2008, and what you saw back in 2006 was just a concept they were thinking about using.
- The game is not using the same resources XIII was. In other words, they started nearly from scratch. In fact, they created an entirely new engine just for lighting (which has yet to be shown in any trailer).
- A possibility for the "delay" (it can't really be a delay if it was never given a period of expected release) might be Nomura's busy schedule. He has lately been working on Kingdom Hearts 3D.
- The game IS coming out. It has not been cancelled. It has not been tossed aside for a while. It is being worked on, and has been since 2008. The game simply isn't ready yet. They're polishing every little detail, and seemingly improving the graphics every year (those trailers you saw in 2011? It's going to look BETTER than that).
That's common knowledge. The sad thing is that people on here think it's new or excellent information when it is not.
I know none of this is new info, it's just not widely known is all. When was the last time you you went to a tech blog or something and the head line was "What's new with the developement of FF versus XIII", or something to that effect?
