Disappointment has pretty much hounded those who keep looking forward to seeing Final Fantasy XIII-2 at the next big gaming event. It wasn't at this year's E3. It won't be at the Tokyo Game Show, either. 

Final Fantasy XIII-2 was announced relatively recently, but even considering that it's just basically adding on what the XIII team already built at least it's already set for a late 2011 / early 2012 launch. Versus XIII? It's still the only Fabula Nova Crystallis game without even a working release window.

All that might soon change, though. With work on both XIII-2 and the handheld title, Final Fantasy Type-0 nearing completion, Square Enix is finally in a position to devolte all their JRPG-making resources to Versus XIII. Speaking during a Q&A session over the weekend, Yoshinori Kitase assured games that they are now "giving 100% to development" for Versus XIII and Type-0, the latter of which is already coming out in Japan next month.

It's definitely good to hear, but Square Enix certainly has a lot to live up to after all the anticipation built by the constant non-reveals. Maybe by E3 2012 we'll finally get to see Versus XIII in action -- but that's only if the dev team doesn't get pulled to work on other games in the interim. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
