I never have quite understood how these games are split up, but it may not be such a bad thing to stagger the releases by several months anyway. If the games are released at the same time, it could be rather confusing to people about which one they should buy first, are they sequels, can each game stand alone, etc.

Each game is loosely related. They stand alone.

ok, every new that is posted here about rpg is worst than the later... we're not getting last remnant on time, nor star ocean 4, and the gane that i was most wanting to play, Versus, is now like 3 years ahead, if they dont end up cancelling it... so we wont either have Eight Days, nor The Getaway, "Cause we got plenty of exclusives"??? NO WE DONT, NOT EVERYBODY LOVES FPS... DAM IT!

And with that dress thign, and our new SONY president aiming to get people money from internet games, which usually suck and drain all your money, and i dont even have a Credit Card, and cant use them anyway in my region, so no PSN Store for me... and then SONY says they care about their customers? the only reasons i had to convince my friends to get a PS3 were all these things i already comented, but now i dont even want mine, i would've maybe prefere a X360 for the moments, and then buy a PS3 in about 2 years or more. i wish i had the money to but a X360 now... i thought ps3 was worth losing the possibility to play Fable 2, but now i see is not. Yes, sure, bright future for ps3, well it might not be for me too.

Instead of posting a long, rambling comment, just sell your PS3 and get an Xbox. The only drawback is that you can actually sell a PS3, nobody wants to buy a used Xbox.

Well this sucks... How many times has a game been completed after it was "put on hold"? It seems like with each passing day the Playstation brand is becoming less and less the "RPG machine that I had hoped it would be when I bought the system.

Maybe I should have bought a 360 instead... They seem to be getting a decent amount of RPGs.

Oh well... at least FInal Fantasy XIII is still coming out exclusive to the PS3, right? Hello? Anybody there... ?

Funny enough, your other comments show that you already have a 360. Not to mention your profile pic is a 360 pad. That seems very unbiased...

Yes indeed. And no, FFXIII will not be coming to your Failbox, Xbot. Go away.

I don't mind Versus being delayed in favour of FFXIII, It seems to me that FFXIII is going to be the single most important title in the not too distant future, as it will determine whether JRPGs will actually gush onto PS3 at long last, or if Japan really is going to get screwed over.

Or perhaps forced to buy Xboxes.


...

I don't think that will happen.

Ok so business as usual!!!! FF games get forever delayed.. heck everyone would be uber shocked if they come out on time.

But then again once you play them you realize why.. the times it takes to go thru 50+ hours and what not without side quests.

I can wait for these as they are totally 2009!!!.. can you say GoW3 & FFXIII?? oh yes!!!

anyways just give me Socom beta and WipeoutHD for now.. I'll keep quiet!

oh oh and the Force Unleashed comes out soon :)

There's usually about 3 games per console:

PSOne - 7, 8, 9
PS2 - 10, 11*, 12

*11 was a MMORPG, and it was out on the 360 as well, I think. Didn't really take off like the others did.

That said, thanks to HD graphics and more powerful hardware heightening peoples' expectations, games take more time and money to develop. So you may get less than 3 games this generation.

yea seriously, i dont think ive ever played a Final Fantasy game (since they went 3D) that took me less than around 100 hours to complete. i like to do EVERYTHING and i for some reason, love grinding levels as well. that is the main reason i love FF games, there is so much to do in them and the stories are usually top notch. same with Kingdom Hearts too.

Finally!!! they need not to delay the only game that matters. the other games are all ok...but not as good as an original final fantasy. They should have made this decision from the start.

Versus XIII was already due to come out later than Final Fantasy XIII. This move allows Final Fantasy XIII to be completed sooner, to be a larger, higher quality game or all three and then we get Versus XIII later. How close together did you want XIII and Versus XIII for christs sake?

Geoff Gibson is clearly a troll.

I'm dying for some JRPG's. It appears none will be coming soon though. At least they're trying to get FFXIII done. I guess it's safe to say that JRPG's are dead this generation. Oh well, I guess my gaming days are coming to an end.

Hope fully within the next year we'll start seeing more of them, if not, we'll pretty much be in the same boat as there wont be that much left for me to play as far as gaming goes i like other genres but rpgs are the absolute favorite for me, there what i play the most of.

I'll probably be married by the time these games come out and then I'll never get to play them!

Girls FTW!

Solution: marry a woman that likes Final Fantasy. I did. Works wonderfully.

Nothing new, development as usual with Final Fantasy games, especially the high-profile ones. I know they will both be worth the wait.

Well, the way I see this is that if MGS4, the gaming perfection that it is, took 4 years to create, I'd be surprised if FFXIII took a day less than 4 years to be equally epic/masterful.

Then again we've been seeing CGI screenshots from it for how long, 3 years already?

The FF series is like Blizzard's RTS games to me. They're going to get delayed many times, but they're always worth it.

FUCK YES!!! I CAME! Twice even.

Those are great news. Rather than progress slow as shit on two games they will try to get something DONE. Players should rejoice over this \o/

FFXIII is the reason that made me buy a PS3. I'm hoping for a release by summer 2009!

Thats great news now they can get FFXII out sooner and then give us FFVXII soon after ^__^

I don't see how ppl are taking this as a delay >_> they've just put the game on hold to work on another rather then gettin 2 FF games in 2010 we'll prolly be gettin 1 in 2009 and one in 2010.

Theres also 3 other FFXII games to be announced... I'm guessing thats what the big TGS things gonna be.
