Status of Fabula Nova Crystallis Projects

[Finalfantasykid]

Famitsu interviewed Tetsuya Nomura, Takeshi Nozue, and Kazushige Nojima regarding the release of Advent Children Complete, however, they also had some things to say about the Fabula Nova Crystallis games.

Final Fantasy XIII
- Voice acting is nearly complete

Final Fantasy Versus XIII
- Roen has completed the design of the characters' costumes.
- The coolness will be like nothing before(I think this is refering to the costumes)
- The cosumes are very difficult to recreate in game due to the materials used(whoa talk about detail).

Final Fantasy Agito XIII- Four character designers are working on the game because of the massive number of characters in the game.

I'm always so confused about Versus develepment. Sometimes they seem to be pretty far in (maybe about 50%) then other times there making a HUGE deal about clothes haha.

Are they really that far behind or are they just REALLY proud of the outfits, i hope they have the world map and battle system atleast started.

Versus is not 50% done.. I wish it was = =

Seems like Nomura has his hands filled with the designs of the Fabula Nova Crystallis games and that's why he he hired more character designs for Agito.

[Syko-Fantiz]

So Agito has a massive amount of characters huh? I'll be curious to hear more about this in the future.

No one said it is so everything is possible. Developers don't like to talk about ready features, because if they don't announce them they still may massively change them or remove some stuff, this includes ingame footage etc.

"The coolness" xD I'm sorry but really how often do you hear developers use words like that?? lol.

As for the actual progress, if the voice acting is nearly done for XIII, then the games nearly done right? Which means translation time! xD And maybe as XIII continues nearing completion, they can work more on Versus. =]

three cheers for amazing clothing!?!?! i'm sure the attention to detail will be amzing but i wish we could get some updates on the progress of the actual game.

Not necessarily. This means that the story is most likely complete, but they still have until the winter(the current planned release date) to finish the rest of the game. For example Metal Gear Solid 4's voice acting was completed months before the game was actually released.

Was a reply to this guy:

Presumably the voice acting they referred to as being "almost complete" is the Japanese? xD Hmm, I wish it was the English.

this is going to be great,I hope to get a PS3 by winter when it comes!
