Also no need to ask for a translator and an army of lawyers.
Simply asking to a friendly gaijin should suffice.
Also you seem to be misinformed as to what liberties the twitter account guy may take. The answer is the same as the end of this riddle:
What's the name of the FF game for a handheld system that many fans want to see but will never be localised and which name starts with FF Type- .....?
Zero.
Someone told him he had to write something about the upcoming localisation and that he had to include some English in it.
A quick email to the us branch would have sufficed. - Mar 2, 2013 11:43 pm GMTAs happy as I am about the localization it's sad to see how poorly SE functions.

Eh, not sure what your getting about here. If petitions actually affected brand image they would work. I would think you of all people would know. I've seen many petitions and 2/10 barely do anything if you're lucky. Money is what talks in the game industy period.Also no need to ask for a translator and an army of lawyers.
Simply asking to a friendly gaijin should suffice.
Again this does not matter. It's one excited guy taking his time to say something. It's hardly a new thing on twitter and most Japanese devs wouldn't normally give fans response about any upcoming confidential plans prior to a press release.Also you seem to be misinformed as to what liberties the twitter account guy may take.

Where are you going with this? Are you saying SE should just release a title that they know will bomb and due lack popularity with handhelds and inadequate userbase? No company not even a fan sensitive company like Xseed would ever do this. (That's why aren't getting Trail's in Sky SC).Zero.

Seriously, this is silly nitpicking, it's just an informal announcement that's not at all uncommon on titter. Don't get me wrong, SE definitely management problems, but this is being blown out proportion. Once again not a official announcement from NA or JP branch, but a voluntary one.
He doesn't have to do anything and we're lucky someone said something at all.

Currently Playing: Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time, Legend of Mana - Mar 3, 2013 12:19 am GMTI may be wrong but I think we're talking about two different things lol.
When I said brand image I'm talking about a pathetic tweet with truncated english and an obvious admission of them not being able to find a single english speaker when the target of this tweet obviously are english speakers.
When I'm talking about the twitter account guy not being given any latitude, I'm not theorising as I'm privy to the operational details of such action. This man is not one excited guy but an employee following instructions. That's what I was getting at.
So yes he did have to talk about it as he was told to. And no, we're not lucky he said anything at all. People on this board have been informed of that fact a few days before this announcement. - Mar 3, 2013 12:41 am GMTAryllies posted...

And I'm saying that this doesn't matter, unless this is SE's stupid idea of an official announcement then there's no problem. The machine transition here is fine as long as it's understandable. Beside that page is dedicated for JP players, foreign presence there is limited. it's a informal statement at best, we know how SE and every other company actually unveil localization plains.When I'm talking about the twitter account guy not being given any latitude, I'm not theorising as I'm privy to the operational details of such action. This man is not one excited guy but an employee following instructions. That's what I was getting at.
Perhaps that maybe the case, but it's irrelevant because most foreigners didn't visit that place anyway, and we are going to get a proper release info in the upcoming months. (sorry for repeating myself)So yes he did have to talk about it as he was told to. And no, we're not lucky he said anything at all. People on this board have been informed of that fact a few days before this announcement.
This board is not the internet and with how dead the it is there probably isn't even 50 people who know about your confirmation. lol

You've got a mini fanclub. Cuuuuute.
Also, it was commented on the 3DS hardware board awhile ago. More people know about it than just this board, considering people on Tumblr and Square Enix's forum knew about it since that post.

Drop a Versus XIII bomb on them (like say predicting the next re-reveal) and they will worship you XD

You'd be surprised at the amount of people who say they don't, but wound up drumming up interest the moment relevant news is murmured.

Currently playing: Kid Icarus: Uprising, Sly 4, Fire Emblem: Awakening - Mar 4, 2013 10:45 pm GMTI believe I've already talked about Versus didn't I?
It's been plagued by internal politics strife but is on track for a late 4th quarter 2013 or early 2014.
From what I've seen, it's a gutted project into which far too much money and time has been poured into. Regarding an official announcement, nothing is planned just yet but we are already ramping up partnerships with distributors/retailers.
Now if some people could decide to make a Vagrant Story 2, I'd be excited but that's never going to happen. ;/ - Mar 4, 2013 11:29 pm GMTYeah, you shared it with me, but it wasn't public.
A Dec-Mar release of Versus means they will have to start marketing at the latest by TGS. Even E3, if you want some decent western exposure.
Don't mainline titles have at least 6 months of marketing?

Doesn't this conflict with Lightning Returns? Or do they plan to release both at around the same time?

Monster Hunter Tri, Kid Icarus: Uprising IDs: Kirolos - Mar 5, 2013 12:28 am GMTCalling versus a numbered title is debatable at this point.
Anyways some reveals are planned for the TGS (mid september), as for E3 nothing much concerning Versus.
As I said in another topic, they're not even considering localisation as it stands now.
Japan first, we'll see later. Hardly a forward-thinking way of doing things.
Regarding the length of marketing campaigns there's no set rule. It pretty much depends on your definition of campaign. As far as I'm concerned, it takes about 1 year including planning for AAA titles and can take as little as 2 months for smaller projects overseas.
As for it conflicting with Lightning Returns. Not really. The tentative deadlines (Yes, such things do exist, as stupid as this may sound) are far from being too restrictive. Late 4th quarter is the most optimistic one for the game to be ready to ship. (Emphasis on ready.)
My educated guess from the info I have is that late 1st quarter is a far more likely release date. The fighting goes on here and some of the big players aren't too happy with the amount of money this has been costing them. Don't forget that they are pretty much aware that FFXIII versus has been an embarrassment for them worldwide. They don't want to ship a half baked product for this one, now that would truly make them a laughing stock. - Mar 5, 2013 12:32 am GMTThanks for the information! Shame that it won't be at E3, but it makes sense if it has a Q1 2014 date.
Good to hear that the big guys won't release a sub par product now with Versus. This wait has to be worth it.

That's understandable though with the development hell it's gone through, fast or slow localization that game just has to be released regardless. It's been seven years since this game was announced and a lot public are even calling into question the game existence. SE's pretty lucky Versus has generate such a strong interest as it stand thanks to it's ambitious nature and difference FFXIII. As long as it turns out to be a quality product in the end, don't people will mind waiting a little more.
I hear you on VS, but without Matsuno it won't be the same despite pretty all his staff still working at SE. It's probably his team their focus their efforts on a new IP or another FF title.
Speaking of which we know that FFXV's most likely in it's planning stages, but has there been any hint on the staff? Hiroyuki Itou is only veteran director I know who most likely free to work on it (though some new blood would be nice).

Ah yes, that's a very important topic actually. Aryllies, do you have any idea what Itou is up to these days?
