that in itself shows what the series has been reduced to.
it may look very pretty and 'awesome' but i for one dont see a final fantasy, it looks more like a devil may cry clone from the trailer :/
before you start i should let you know XII is only good thing SQEX have done since the Spirits Within disaster, oh and the port of the original tactics

I'm well aware laharl, I was just going to focus on the "main" title in the XIII universe that's planned. Should we expand this to include all the games?
And that is true, we've certainly seen nothing of the plot or any "substance", but this is a highly anticipated game, and perhaps SQEX will pull through and take the series in a new direction.

The girl's name is not Lightning, as far as I know. I read somewhere that the Lightning in the video had something to do with an element she was using, or something to that effect.
ANd isn't there two games, one Turnbased-RPG, one Action-RPG? It's going to appeal to lovers of both genre's.

For all you know, FF13 could be as good as 7 or 10, you really don't know. So don't say a game will be **** untill you play it. Besides, I think FF13, and Versus, come together. I could be wrong though.

It's like this -

It mgiht not coem together, I jsut don't know. And even if it did come as 2 seperate games, so what. If they are both really good, then it is worth buying both. If it was FF13, and FF14, insted of FF13Versus, you wouldn't be complaining.
Stop saying these games will be bad, because you plain don't know.
EDIT @ Eugine-Exactly. Which means, that they games will not be halfassed.

Final Fantasy XIII is the main game
Final Fantasy Versus XIII is being developed by the Kingdom Hearts team
Final Fantasy Agito XIII is still pretty much unknown

The character in in the trailer is Lightning
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m50/Rocket_Rooter/final-fantasy-xiii-2007051202512863.jpg
it is quite possible her design may see an overhaul
regarding Final Fantasy XIII
"Okay, so, first off, I'll touch on some new plot elements from FFXIII. There aren't many, really. Coccoon was created by an entity known as "Farushi", which is said to exceed the intellect of men, and it has appointed humans to defend Coccoon from the 'infection' of Pulse, known as "Rushi". Mr. 33cm and Pigtails are both Rushi, and are able to call summoned creatures using discs, and creatures are said to exist "digitally", whatever that means (technology of the Crystal, no doubt). So, you can assume that the two will probably start out as enemies before eventually joining Lightning as party members. I'm not really sure what they're getting at with Rushi and Farushi, you're guess is as good as mine." - Famitsu
regarding Versus XIII
"Guns are forbidden in the world of Versus (the guy with the shotgun is said to be a fugitive of some sort).
The location featuring the new female character is inspired by Tokyo's Shinjuku district, with the twin skyscrapers undoubtedly being based on the famed Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The other location is based on the Plaza San Marco of Venice, Italy.
There's further confirmation that the game will have a world map, and it'll probably be to a more realistic scale, sorta like FFVIII's.
The guys in the business suits having the meeting in the cathedral-like building are presumably in charge of the kingdom, and I believe were described in the trailer as the "organization which will lead the world to ruin", or something like that. They, along with the rest of the royal family, are supposed to be more like a crime family, and the story itself will have some emphasis on mob drama.
It's implied that the mafioso in the pinstripe suit is probably related to the hero. I'm betting there will probably have some dispute over the throne, if it's as Shakespearean as we're being lead to believe.
Anyway, there's not really much new information, unfortunately. Just generalizations made about the screenshots; the girl looks unhappy when she faces off with the hero, the guy in the white robe appears to be the antagonist, yadda yadda." - Famitsu

The game will be collectively known as Fabula Nova Crystallis

Final Fantasy is is decline
and it has been since the Spirits Within disaster almost seven years ago.
XII is the only worthwhile original Final Fantasy related thing to be released since the release of X.
chances are atleast 2 of these games are going to suck hard, i wonder how many gaping plot holes they'll leave between the games.
If you take your fanboy goggles for a moment you'll see SQEX dont makes games with anywhere near the passion or enthuaism they did 10 years ago

Posted 24 February 2008 - 04:30 AM
I don't like the idea of the game being split in three, as it would seem to make the story confusing by doing so, but I don't think it's fair to say the series is in decline. Wait until the game comes out, see how it plays, then make a judgement on that.

I think I saw part of it on Sci Fi a LONG time ago. This chick went into this wasteland place or whatever (like a metropolis that had been nuked some time ago), and there ws no sun. She went into a building and founs a plant, which she bagged, and then bolted out of there because something spotted her.
Or something like that. But the CG was incredible. For that time at least.
But I just watched the FFXIII trailer, and it was AMAZING. The CG is WAY better than anything I've seen before.
But, good graphics does not make good gameplay. I'll wait for the (unbiased) reviews.

#84
Posted 27 February 2008 - 12:20 AM
Advent Children was very cliche, I must say. The part that annoyed me the most was when Cloud was fighting that giant flying monster thing, and EVERY ONE of his friends grabs his arm to throw him up one at a time, all giving him their two words of encouragement. It looked really retarded.
However, the fight scenes were awesome, and the CG was amazing as always.
But, just because it looks pretty doesn't mean it's a great movie. I was dissapointed.

The fight scenes were excelent, and Koz having the Victory Fanfare for a ringtone just brought back memories.

I'm not too sure on the game itself. I know they want to develop the Final Fantasy series, graphics and gameplay-wise, but I'm a bit unsure about the new battle system. After watching the trailers it just seems a bit too manic.
If, however, the battle system was somewhat similar to what you'd find in Eternal Sonata or Lost Odessey, then they may be able to make it work.

#96
Posted 06 August 2008 - 10:32 PM
You should see the cutscene with Sephiroth vs. Genesis in Crisis Core, GL. Way better than what was seen in AC.
AC was kind of meh. Seemed more of a sort of a fan service than anything else. The only thing that movie did, was show that Sephiroth probably won't stay dead. (FFVII-2 anyone?)

I've wanted to play Crisis Core for the longest time, no PSP unfortunately... and the emulators for it fail.
Well, no doubt, AC was very "meh", I'm just referring to the battle scenes which were fairly decent (I enjoyed the one with Tifa early in the movie, and the motorcycle chase scene especially). And having a combat system that plays just like AC would be epic and at least very ambitious of Square Enix.
Also of mention is that the lead character of FFXIII was created to be a "feminine version" of Cloud.

EDIT-Never mind. Weird. OH well.
I've liked every battle system besides 11/12's, so I think I'll like this one. Plus the small gameplay footy that we've seen so far looks intersting. I wish we could get some Versus gameplay footy though.

Imagine there was another group of people going after Sephiroth in FF7, at the same time as Cloud. Well, I think that's how FF13 & Versus will be, but don't quote me on it. That's jsut what I got out of the interviews and such.

And then there's the FF Adventure and Legends games, which yes, will confuse anyone who doesn't know the series very well.
But generally speaking, it shouldn't be confusing. The real sequels/spinoffs identify themselves very easily, like X-2 or FF 13 Versus.

but whatever you do, steer clear of the FF Legends and Adventure series. they are horrible. one of them has you choose between men, women, aliens, robots, and snakes as your party, and has spells with use limits, and bad graphics and horrible fight mechanics. it's jsut a terrible game.

* The company wants to build the game as unbiased to any specific market as possible
* Currently only the PS3 version is in development. The Xbox 360 version will begin as soon as the PS3 version is completed
* The game will run on one Blu-ray disc
* The Xbox 360 version is not a betrayal to PS3 fans because the PS3 version is not stopped or moved
* Right now the game is designed specifically for PS3, the team will worry about how to optimize the game on 360 when it's done
* Scenario of the game is finished, the "Art assets" are 80% completed
* All the FFXIII games have different directors, but they are all based on the Crystal Mythology and expressed in different ways
* The game is more futuristic, it is somewhere between FFX's fantasy environment and FFVII's high-tech setting
* The final product will have a lot more variety of opponents and monsters. There will be more human type opponent in cities, while more beasts & organic type opponents out of town
* The company is monitoring feedback from each trailer on the Internet, and see reactions to new trailer and images. If something receives positive or negative feedbacks they will adjust the game accordingly.

Im in the same boat as watch. Started on FFX, and nothing seems to compare to it in my eyes. VII was bloody awesome, but still, since i'd seen better, it was lacking. Same as IX.
XII looked good, had some cool characters (Balthier's one-liners ftw) and ideas, but I dunno, it just didn't sit right.
Here's hoping XIII is as good as it seems.

Advent Children isnt particularly good either mind.
i honestly pay more attention to SQEX's non FF titles these days, i hae more interest in the Last Remnant than FF XIII

X was just remarkable, I don't think I've ever been as immersed in a game book or movie, well maybe LOTR movies but they are legendary. Probably my favourite game ever, or at least favourite RPG of both WRPG and JRPG.
I don't think anything can replicate it though, I don't even know why, I loved the characters and the varieties they had (Tidus, Yuna, Aurion) then the whole Jecht and Yuna's dad story (bit murky on details, been along time) and I LOVED Blitzball, I played that so much it got to a point where the AI was just zero competition...Ah I could go on.
I never really gave XII a shot, just didn't get into it, didn't progress fast enough, I'll get around to it one day.
I might go look into XIII, haven't looked at anything since I was contemplating getting a 360.
Any news on the Ps3 FFXIII?

* The company wants to build the game as unbiased to any specific market as possible
* Currently only the PS3 version is in development. The Xbox 360 version will begin as soon as the PS3 version is completed
* The game will run on one Blu-ray disc
* The Xbox 360 version is not a betrayal to PS3 fans because the PS3 version is not stopped or moved
* Right now the game is designed specifically for PS3, the team will worry about how to optimize the game on 360 when it's done
* Scenario of the game is finished, the "Art assets" are 80% completed
* All the FFXIII games have different directors, but they are all based on the Crystal Mythology and expressed in different ways
* The game is more futuristic, it is somewhere between FFX's fantasy environment and FFVII's high-tech setting
* The final product will have a lot more variety of opponents and monsters. There will be more human type opponent in cities, while more beasts & organic type opponents out of town
* The company is monitoring feedback from each trailer on the Internet, and see reactions to new trailer and images. If something receives positive or negative feedbacks they will adjust the game accordingly.

But the male characters are very feminine. Well, are getting more feminine.
Look at Cloud, badass. Then Squall. Then Zidane (Rodents don't really count though). Then Tidus. Then last (and least) Vaan.
Hell, the next lead IS a chick. Go figure.
Cecil from IV ftw. lol

Unless Blizzrad is a new spell level, which I don't doubt.

I remember Square saying that they could have pushed for more realistic models in Advent Children, but didn't because it was "too lifelike" and the difference between CG and real life actors would have been impossible to tell apart. They're going all out for FFXIII it seems like.

try putting that much effort into other areas for a change

The storywriters and the graphic designers are two different parties anyway, it's not like there's any distribution of effort.

The story does sound pretty good. Cocoon seems logical, but Pulse seems like a strange name. I wonder why it's called that...?

the story sounds cliche
but there IS a distribution of budget, if less was spent on the visuals department, thn it culd only improve the plot and gameplay

And giving the writers and game designers more money isn't going to somehow expand their imaginations; Square would only need to offer a fixed rate to get them on board.
