” Final Fantasy XIII ” sacrificed some of the free roaming that its predecessors enjoyed, but Square Enix will restore a little of that freedom in ” Final Fantasy Versus XIII .” Asked how far along his game was coming, director Tetsuya Nomura described its status in terms of world maps and airships, which may not say a whole lot in and of themselves, but their existence alone may come as a welcome addition to “Final Fantasy” traditionalists. “Things are not connected yet, every part is moving along separately,” Nomura said in a Twitter interview translated on FinalFantasyVersusXIII.net . “However, we have gotten airships working over the world map.” For those who didn’t take to the linear gameplay in “FFXIII,” airship functionality could be the perfect cure, but the details out in the wild about “Versus XIII” are pretty scant right now, so it’s hard to gage what the Enix folks will be shooting for

” Star Wars: The Old Republic ” could include sex , but if it really does turn out to be the most expensive game that EA has ever produced, it’s going to need a massive subscriber base as well.

One million subscribers will be necessary for “The Old Republic” to break even, and even though “earnings are somewhat depressed due to ongoing expenses of the Star Wars MMO, management has high hopes for this and believes 2M+ subs is possible,” industry analyst Arvind Bhatia of Sterne Agee said after meeting with EA, according to Industry Gamers
