[Rumor] FFvsXIII team moved on FFXIV + Release date in...!

[Velhart]

I agree with the fact we never got a release date to begin with and we already know SE has a habit of delaying things. So to flatout deny the game being release later than people hoped is just being in denial. SE has went on record to state they'll release it when they feel it's ready, people are holding onto the Jan-March time frame dearly even though SE has never stated that was the launch time frame.

What if SE felt the game wouldn't be ready until the 3 year anniversary? I bet people will happily accept that date simply because SE stated it, despite the fact September =/= March.




The game could release in 2014 and there's still stuff that won't make it in at release. Every MMO that releases stagger content updates and content at launch for a reason, it's not because they didn't make any/enough content, it's because it's being staggered to make patches more relevant beyond bug fixes.

I don't think you read into what I said, I will repeat it one more time. In this topic, which is to clarify if some random rumor from an uncreditable source is valid. It clearly isn't, and you defend it saying it is when there is so many holes in the statement. Almost no one agrees with you that this is valid.

On the topic of delays. I don't know where your arguments come up here. I don't know if a delay will happen as much as you do, but the only thing that can be said about it is that "It is possible".

So, how can XIV affect other projects for SE if..it's just "the XIV team" working on it and no one else in SE is bothering with it? Resources being moved to XIV also includes team members. Even outsourcing work could mean they put work loads on other teams that are within SE's subsidiaries.

all links on first post broke, there any others?

Can look around a bit, since the twitter links were actually reposts to begin with.

none of those links says we are adding more people but are also delaying the game further.

Except the rumor also stated people were moved from other teams onto XIV.

Too bad that all the interested parties went officially on record stating that work on FFvXIII is continuing. Ooops.

Too bad there's a difference between cancelling a project and something being affected. Oops. I also don't recall stating something was scrapped or stopped because of the move. Oops.

Nope. That farce of a rumor stated that an entire other team was disbanded and entirely moved to XIV, thing that completely contrasts with several official statements from different areas of the company.

Except, Wada and Yoshida both stated they moved resources to XIV, not disbanded the teams.

The rumor states:

FF Versus XIII is on hold and all staff have been moved to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn until it gets released.

Yet official word states they moved resources, not cancelled anything. So there is validity to the rumor as we had official word of this long before that rumor even popped up. The only rumor specifically regarding versus XIII was the one about it being cancelled, which they officially debunked.

The rumor doesn't say they moved resources. It says they moved the whole team, which not only isn't realistic, but also contrasts with official statements regarding the fact that work on Final Fantasy Versus XIII is continuing.

Sorry, but trying to twist the rumor to make it fit doesn't really work.
