[UPDATE] Final Fantasy Versus XIII Already On Blu-Ray Disc
[UPDATE] The article was never about the validity of the video creator having firmware 3.00. It was about the Blu-Ray disc. However, that appears to be a fake.
Other than a few trailers, and some minor details on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the game is still very shrouded in mystery. Because too few details are known about the upcoming game from Square Enix, many gamers aren’t expecting a release any time soon. We have a video that suggests FF Versus XIII has already been printed on a disc, which might mean we will be seeing the game’s release sooner, rather than later.
The video, which is said to just be demonstrating how animated themes will look on the upcoming 3.0 firmware update for the PlayStation 3, reveals the game may be further along in development than expected.
At 0.14 seconds into the video below, you will see under the XMB’s game tab, a Blu-Ray disc for Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
Thanks to LoveStrucked for the tip!

I can’t wait for this game.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:14 PM
these themes are looking awesome and l love how the video ends right when the game starts up.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:19 PM
Thank you PSLS for the post
August 24th, 2009 at 1:19 PM
THIS IS A FAKE!!!!!
Its using a green background and stitching out the background green with a video. I’ve seen this before with Killzone 2 background. Its a complete fake and good editting. Don’t believe it!
August 24th, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Easy there Danlord, lol, take it easy dude. Good find PSLS, keep the good vibe rolling in!
August 24th, 2009 at 1:28 PM
As to that he has Final Fantasy versus XIII I don’t know, but the animated background isn’t for Firmware 3.0 and he has said how it will look with animated backgrounds, thats complete fakery for the background.
@everyone – I didn’t mean to come across shouting I was just emphasizing my point
Sorry guys!
August 24th, 2009 at 1:28 PM
@danlord
if its really fake then i still really would like to give credit to the creator, as its really convincing.
but given that the theme could be fake, how about the blu-ray copy of final fantasy vesrus 13?
personally, i have no idea how BD disc are processed but i think the disc is legit. it could be an early “test” copy.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:32 PM
The theme could be real with the icons, there is a program to do your own themes but yeah, unfortunately the dynamic background is fake, Apologies to everyone again for seeming as I was shouting or coming across as being an idiot ranting
I don’t know how he could have got it to say Final Fantasy versus XIII. Maybe he has a copy of the game, maybe its another little editting on his part, could be very simple to do. He could track the screen and instead of having say Motorstorm picture he could copy/paste a picture of Final Fantasy on it and change the text because of the green background…
EDIT: a quick look at the video shows that its complete fake on the Final Fantasy part also, he has done a cut over it. Start/Stop quickly leading up to the end where he highlights it and it changes to a box with the final fantasy logo, it shows the logo but with a green aura around it same with the icons, sorry its completely fake guys :S
August 24th, 2009 at 1:33 PM
yeah the theme isn’t from 3.0 and thus a fake since the clock isn’t fixed but this video is about the FF vs 13 game after all
August 24th, 2009 at 1:38 PM
wow, you guys just bombed the entire day! thanks
August 24th, 2009 at 1:39 PM
Here’s proof it’s fake. I did the stop start and took a screenshot to show. Look how the logo disappears just before the logo fully shows..

@danlord
i dont exactly know what to say, but my instinct is just telling me its a real blu-ray copy.
it could have been edited but then again, its so realistic its too hard to just slip by.
@wtGp
great find. the ’status bar” on the updae 3.0 is not there, so its not from 3.0.
but i agree lets all forget about the theme. and focus on FF vs 13
IS it really on disc? if theres some one out there that knows something about how blu-ray disc work and possible editing stuff, that may have been used to trick us. please let me know, im interested.

that looks fake to me for the following reasons:
1. you can see the chroma key fringing around the fonts
2. anyone can burn a blu ray, name it whatever they want, and have it show up under XMB. changing the icon that appears is just a few lines of code.
3. it looks like video, I thought the backgrounds were primarily code driven.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:43 PM
@LoveStucked
Sorry to spoil your instinct but its not a real blu-ray copy.
The thing about the status bar, Eric Lempel said you could change the theme back to the original so maybe you can change the status bar at the top to the original style, possible.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:46 PM
by the looks of things, and some comments form fellow PSLS fans solidcake and danlord, and also some research that i did. this is gearing to be a fake item.
if its fake, i apologize for sending it to PSLS, i got fooled and got excited.
should have known its too good to be true.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:47 PM
This can’t be 3.0. According to EvoAnubis, who’s my co-host on the PopCast, the PlayStation Store icon is supposed to be under the games tab and the video tab, there’s supposed to be a “What’s New” Section that’s the first thing you see when you turn the console on, and there’s supposed to be a status bar that shows your messages and online friends and some other things.
I’ll show this to him the next time I see him, but I don’t think it’s real.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:48 PM
If it really was 3.0, shouldn’t there have been sparkles on the start up ribbon animation?
Too bad it’s all fake. I was already imagining the possibilities if you could make any video your background.
08/24/2009 at 2:11 PM
I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to do. They already have video icons for items in the movie section of the XMB. I’d love to see video backgrounds, possibly with a 20 second limit?
August 24th, 2009 at 1:48 PM
IT’S FAKE
Watch the youtube video. Read his description, he made it himself.
The screen goes green instead of the usual smooth transition
The Game tab lacks the PSstore which should be there in the 3.0 update..
August 24th, 2009 at 1:49 PM
@LoveStrucked
Sorry for sounding on the attack about being a fake. But don’t worry, at least we are getting Final Fantasy versus XIII at some point. Who knows, maybe Tokyo Games Show will show us something, Final Fantasy XIII and XIV got its show at E3 and since Square-Enix being Japanese they”d want to showcase their great game at their respectful country so bring on Tokyo Games Show
August 24th, 2009 at 1:51 PM
dam why couldn’t it be real it looks so Slick!!! *sigh* I guess i will go bask in my depression.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:51 PM
@danlord
the theme wont affect the status bar. one of the fixes in update 3.0 is the battery life covering the time/date. in the video, it looks just like how current xmb’s are. (update 2.80 and below)
this in defintely not update 3.0
August 24th, 2009 at 1:58 PM
Theres a fake Killzone one too. I don’t think FFversusXIII would make its reappearance in this fashion.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:59 PM
thanks to all the points people have contributed. this has been proven to be a FAKE.
@danlord. thanks for your participation and knowledge, a potential problem has been solved.
regarding. TGS…
FF 13 was originally exclusive to PS3 and now its coming to xbox360
we also have learnt the FF 14 will come to the xbox360
. if i expect an announcement from Square about FF versus 13…
Its coming to the xbox360
*im not trying to spark hate/console war, just saying a potential prediction.
please correct me if im wrong
August 24th, 2009 at 2:07 PM
@Phoenix8387.
i was the one who sent the tip. once again sorry for not checking it properly.
i was fooled and immidately sent it to PSLS (i got excited and amazed)
my fault. sorry
August 24th, 2009 at 2:09 PM
@LoveStrucked
I know about FF XIII being multi-platform and Final Fantasy XIV may lose it’s exclusivity but I don’t think this will, Final Fantasy Agito XIII is a PSP game and I would assume this spinoff would be exclusive to Sony too, it was just a suggestion Square Enix being Japanese wanting to update us in Japan and Sony wanting at least 1 Final Fantasy for their console exclusive…I don’t know I guess we;ll have to find out at Tokyo Games Show…
August 24th, 2009 at 2:13 PM
@danlord
lets hope FF versus 13 is an exclusive.
you never know what 50million dollars can do. (Microsoft’s $$$)
August 24th, 2009 at 2:20 PM
Biggest fake I’ve ever seen. It’s clearly not 3.0 firmware and the green outline is because of the green backscreen which allows for easy image/video implementation.
August 24th, 2009 at 2:27 PM
I can’t wait for this game. This may be a fake but nice job though. lol.
August 24th, 2009 at 2:37 PM
still looks pretty dang solid. cool stuff
August 24th, 2009 at 2:39 PM
@ cameron teague
i do agree
August 24th, 2009 at 2:41 PM
video author says it is fake in his description
August 24th, 2009 at 2:43 PM
@skullking
the theme is confirmed fake but what about the disk?
August 24th, 2009 at 2:47 PM
@ Danlord
ITS COOL STOP SAYING SORRY! PEOPLE UNDERSTAND YOU ARENT BEING A DICK. lol
but thanks for telling me its fake, i hate fake videos almost as much as rumors..
@Jonathan Leack
didnt you just say you cant wait for this? lol
August 24th, 2009 at 2:52 PM
imagine if…
we had that ability to put video as backgrounds…interesting.
back in the old days, when you press the PS button while watching a video, the video doesnt pause but then now it pauses it.
that should hopefully be fixed.
August 24th, 2009 at 4:02 PM
@ LoveStrucked
Solid Cake covered the disk.. you can burn a blueray dick and name it anything you want.
August 24th, 2009 at 4:50 PM
burn a what? lol
August 24th, 2009 at 5:00 PM
@ SolidCake_
lol my bad i was on my cell at that time lmao!
August 24th, 2009 at 5:11 PM
my question is, were’s Kingdom Hearts III I love Final Fantasy but I would like to see a next gen KH’s Long live SquareSoft …….
August 24th, 2009 at 5:13 PM
I would also like another Shadow Hearts (Atlus)
August 25th, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Aww it’s fake that’s too bad.
