Fine, Square-Enix. Your CG cinemas are gorgeous. After eleven years, I think you’ve proved your point. High-five. And you, Tetsuya Nomura, I get that you like zippers. I also get that you like Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s style. But both of you need to stop showing off images of games that may or may not even exist. Final Fantasy Versus XIII, one of the three games that Nomura says “are all XIII”, was announced over two years ago now and no one even knows how it plays. In fact, no trailer has even officially been shown to the public, only leaks. These screens? They’re gorgeous images made using a computer. But why show us these at all? The game isn’t even going to come out for another two or three years! Square-Enix, Mr. Nomura, you guys are jerks. Gigantic jerks.
The images here were scanned from the latest issue of Japan’s Weekly Famitsu. We have taken them from the kindly folks over at Kotaku, who in turn had taken them from the kindly folks at Jeux-France. INTERNATIONAL SCREEN THEFT!
