FFXIII - Amazing art design. Only 3 characters revealed so far.
FFvsXIII - Yes, that is real time. Shadow technique reeks of cel shading. It reminds me of SMT3 and DDS1+2. Main character, Sasuke, is wearing a totally gangsta suit. omg
FF Agito XIII: Real time pics. Looks niiice. Look similar to Crisis Core.
Gotta get a ps3 so I can import FF7AC Blu ray for that demo. :P
-
Shadow technique
lol
-
XS.to never works for me. :-\
-
Shadow technique
lol
kage no bushin jitsu
-

-
Agito is for mobiles and PSP?

Agito is only for psp.
Tinypic sucks. You can't upload via url, and it has no thumbnail feature.
-
All three games look phenomenal.
-
It's real time. They confirmed it at the S-E conference last week.
Also, you must need eyes. Compare the fmv in this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v508/himurokoken/ff13/shotgundude.gif)
To that image. It's pretty obvious it's real time.

FFXIII and Versus XIII art design remind me of FFVIII and it really makes me want jizz all over my computer screen.
-
It's not on hold.
-
there is nothing impossible here.
this is now powered by Xenos, don't forget that.
-
Gradually crossing from vaporware with amazing art to reality. I am shitting myself with anticipation.
july 2010 here we come
march 2009 for me!!!
i can play the demo 600 times. it will approximate the experience of playing persona 3's battles.
Versus is not on hold.
-
that's not real-time
it'll look bet... hold on let me get this dick out of my mouth
that's better.
it'll look better on 360 anyway. budget GPU :gloomy. hell, the only reason this is even in development is because of the 360 lead platform version.
-
These FFs look awesome. (vs and XIII)
Finally, been a long wait since FFVIII to see a FF that appeals to me from the get go.
-

what an ugly bitch.
(http://i34.tinypic.com/fji4io.jpg)
make nomchan the lead character plz.
-
omnomnomchan
-
both are blonde, they all look the same.
-
Can't wait for Agito, FFXIII might be good (for Nomchan), FFVsXIII is :lol because it won't be out in the US for another three years.
-
FF13: Amazing art design.
let's all give a hand to Isamu Kamikokuryo, the art director, who you might remember from his FF12 imageboards like this one:
(http://www.creativeuncut.com/wp/ff12wp-07.jpg)
-
I'm confused about what this Nomchan bullshit is all about. Is that the characters name? why is there a defense force for this character?
-
Maybe it's just me, but...

(http://www.deviantart.com/download/81859737/_Zero_Suit_Samus_UpClose_SSBB__by_DarkShadowRage.jpg)
For the facial structure, at least.
It's anime. Every female has the exact same facial structure.
-

it sounds like an internet 'pet' name to me
made up because they haven't revealed the characters name yet probably
-
That makes sense (outside of the actual 'Nomchan' name), but a defense force? that shit is creepy.
-
FFXIII July 2010 believe :hyper
FFXIII Versus don't believe :gloomy
-
recursive, could you rehost that image?
-
nomchan comes from "nom nom nom" + japanophiles
she has no name yet from square :\
it's not a defense force, it's an assault force
lol
-
Lightning or whatever seems like a more unique character to me -- better suited for main character status. she's a girl, but she's still touch without being a tomboy or a sex object. that's rare in games. it's the kind of character my female friends always wish for in a game.
edit: and anything that makes wrikawrek feel like a bitch (http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=23692.msg602547#msg602547) is a good thing.

dude, it's cloud with a vag. i love what they are going for and i think she looks excellent...but it's cloud.

her style is quite different than cloud's... the whole 'her face is the same' shit is just a result of the ff style, and you could probably do that with countless characters.

well, some of those shadows do look low res on his shirt. it'd be pretty amazing if it is real-time.
-
wait, so people don't like the main female character? this is all so strange to me. Anything is a step up from Vaan, Tidus, or Yuna. What greedy bastards these people are. She actually looks more interesting than this "nomchan" fanwank chick. It isn't like less of her means your fanfic/art is going to be any more creepy than it already is. And the guy looks cool. In general, if you wear a bandanna like that, it just makes you more of a bad ass. See Ren from Shenmue 2.
And Cloud looks like this:
(http://i35.tinypic.com/feqdqs.jpg)
Just because they gave him a sex change for Advent Children doesn't mean this woman looks like him, he just looks like her. She looks great.

i'm not saying that is real time. I'm saying it's fmv and the shots above it (in the recent Versus scans) are real time. There is a big difference in quality in these three images. One of which is obviously much much more detailed and OBVIOUSLY fmv. The shadows in the Versus pics in the scan, even if they're small as hell, are not NEARLY as detailed as the ones on the dude with the shotgun, and that real time picture takes place in a room that's dark as shit!
-
it's still FMV - who the fuck cares
-
i don't usually have a problem with homoerotic characters in games, and even like some of them a lot. but tidus was just.... gay. vaan was annoying. and the three girls in x-2 were like... j-pop stars >:(.
these FFXIII characters kick ass in comparison. ff8 characters were good, too. amir0x can roll his fat ass off of his chair and suffocate from a collapsed trachea for being too stupid and fat--gunblades are cool for being fictional video game weapons.
-
Tidus and Yuna are the worst main characters in any Final Fantasty game, or even any RPG in general. Even Lloyd and Colette are better.
-

wait, some people are saying this isn't real-time? the downgrade from the CG is obvious....
some of those shadows even look like part of the textures :lol
dumbasses

budget rsx gpu :cry

There's an image where Lightning fades into Cloud and vice versa. The similarities in terms of overall look are hard to deny, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Nomura going back to his most iconic designs and giving them a twist has worked for him in the past.

yeah i've seen that .gif. and it was of their face, and nothing else. which, again, is more telling about art style than it is about character design.

Well, of course. I should have been clearer about that if that's what the confusion was over. Nomura designing a female wearing a man's COUTURE would have been wtf lol. or perhaps a POLITICAL STATEMENT or GENDER COMMENTARY

Well, then Cloud looks like Lightning (is this her name?) and not the other way around.

I don't think the semantic distinction is important unless you ultimately care that the facial designs are similar.

I agree with everything. I feel dirty as a consequence.
-

Of course it is. She was designed from the ground up to look that way, and that design was stylish and unique. Cloud already had a design, but they changed it. It is the difference between complaining that she is a female Cloud and that SE can't design an original character, or that she is a unique character and they fucked with Cloud's original design to make it work in some shitty movie.
Although, the only reason I am starting to care is because apparently people dislike it. I don't even know what I'm arguing against right now. I think I just hate the idea of people naming a character seen for seconds in a trailer "nomchan" and allegedly worshiping her. I don't actually know what is going on. I haven't been following FF13 considering it probably isn't coming out for another year or two anyway. I am hyped up for one RPG right now, and that is Infinite Undiscovery.

Who is complaining though that wouldn't complain anyway?
I don't see any problem with making her look like Cloud, even if that's Cloud AC. I am a little confused here...Cloud's AC design had to have been designed and maybe even in actual use way before we ever saw Lightning. I don't think his facial structure is that different in AC overall.

That is actually surprisingly close. This Lightening woman has better hair.

dfyb owned yet again.
Another good thread at Bore.
owned by what? i mentioned TWICE that i'd already seen the face comparison pics/gifs that i assume you're saying i was 'owned' by. i mentioned their clothing style was different and that they have different character designs despite them having near identical face structures (due to FF art style), which is all quite true.
cry more.
edit: i also said i bet you can do the face comparison and get similar results with several FF characters.
http://www.freewebs.com/materia-ff7ac/characters.htm
(http://upload.dfyb.net/uploaded/aerith.jpg)
yeah, i think that was an accurate claim. FF characters can almost always be gender benders without changing the face. only exceptions are characters like barret, who don't have the 'beautiful' stereotype to them. it's just the art style--like some anime.
-
is it wrong of me to be turned on by some of the intermediate frames in that morphing animation?
