Final Fantasy Versus XIII has had a fresh breath of air blown across the media.
Rumors:
Ever since Yoichi Wada, Square-Enix President, Twittered that the team was looking into bringing Versus to the 360, the fire has been stoked by the fans blowing hot air at it. Wada didn’t know that what was about to happen was one of the biggest stirs among the die-hard fanboys. He then reassured everyone that it was just a thought, nothing is final yet. This was last month.
– Well, the latest in this god forsaken craptastic rumor is from the Aussies down undah… Game Informah Australia Magazine say blatently, “Ex-PS3 exclusive Final Fantasy Versus XIII is going multiformat” …ugh… someone silence these flap mouths.
Facts:
An interview with Tetsuya Nomura (The Man With The Belts) revealed that FF Vs XIII has an open world as does Agito, and in both there will be flyable airships. Agito mentions rideable chocobos in the open world too. I expect Versus to have the same announcement soon.
Three new screenshots of Versus have been shown.

Apparently, the screenshot of the mountains is shown to tell people that you can travel as far as you can see, except the mountains. My guess is that once the airship becomes available, that will be the next area to get to. I’m thinking of Final Fantasy III where you were stuck in a huge circle until you achieved the correct vehicle.
The gas station is shown as an object that is destructable. There are apparently objects on the field that are destroyable — ala Xenosaga?
The giant behemoth is shown as an in-game battle footage shot. There is no GUI shown because that will be announced later, as will party members and battle clothing (TGS 2010, I guarantee at the show or before, which is September 16th through the 19th)
Well, that’s all for now — be back later when more is announced.
