Ten years ago yesterday, on the 8th May 2006, Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced for the PlayStation 3 at E3, and that's a difficult fact to wrap your head around. Versus XIII was officially transformed into Final Fantasy XV at E3 2013 - a whole seven years after its initial reveal.

Let's just take a moment to let this sink in, though: Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced ten years ago. When we think back ten years, we revisit a time when Push Square didn't even exist, and your humble editors were still stuck in the education system. Seriously, ten bloody years! If you travelled back in time and told us that we'd be sitting here, right now, writing about the same Final Fantasy project that still isn't available on store shelves, we wouldn't believe you - it's as simple as that.

But hey, at least the saga's almost over. As long as everything goes to plan - which it better - Final Fantasy XV will release on the 30th September for PS4. Will we make it to 200 Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XV related articles by then? It's possible; we're currently sitting at a ridiculous 160.

So, where were you ten years ago? Are you as baffled as we are? Try not to show your age in the comments section below.
