Title: Where is this weeks Famitsu?

What happen? Why haven't we seen this week's Famitsu? It's been like 2 days. Is it because it's now being outsourced to India?

Okay, looks like the issue due to be released on Tuesday has leaked in certain stores in Japan. Someone on 2ch has gotten a hold of the mag but info is still trickling in. Here's what we know so far:

- The FFXIII demo disc included with FFVIIACC will be a PS3 disc, it's not on a standard blu-ray movie disc. This is good news for people with Euro PS3s, since it'll probably mean the demo will work even if the movie is region locked.

- There're 3 realtime screens of Agito XIII from the trailer, including a screen of Odin.

- 3 pages worth of FFXIII screens and stuff, about 20 screens. There are realtime screens too apparently.

- The FFXIII demo will be from the opening part of the game, and will be longer than FFVIIAC (longer than 90mins? :o).
Quote
- 4 pages on Versus, about 10 screens all realtime.

- The world in Versus XIII worships a Shinigami and the Shinigami is designed by Amano

- The cars and clothing seen in the trailers so far will probably change in design for the final game

- The morale of the team is really high!
Quote
OMG AGITO XIII:

- They moved it to the PSP because they couldn't wait for cellphones to get more advanced lolz

- The battle will be heavy on action but still sort of turn based. It will use an advanced version of Crisis Core's high speed ATB system.

- Crisis Core was 1 player, but this time there will be multiple characters in the party.

- Right now it supports Infrastructure multiplayer for up to 3 players.

- Summons are part of the character growth system, and can also be controlled by players after summoning.

Some clarifications and info I missed out earlier:

- FFXIII will definitely have a party battle system, where you control each character as they switch turns, like in a normal FF. It will not be like FFXII.

- FFXIII's story is being written such that every single of the main characters will feel like protagonists, instead of just supporting characters.

- At the top of the building where the prince and the heroine of Versus meet, there is a painting. That painting is the Shinigami that is worshipped in the world, and the painting of it in the game itself, is drawn by Amano.

- The name of the prince and the heroine in Versus will be revealed at TGS.

according to Tabata, they'd always planned to port it to PSP eventually, but just recently decided to give "priority" to the PSP version because cellphone hardware wasn't advancing as quickly as they'd expected (implying that they still hope to port it to cellphones later when they can get PSP-level performance out of them, I guess).

actually the comparison was to ACC, which is supposed to have 30 mins of new scenes, so I guess that would make it > 2 hours.

For those wondering what Amano's painting of the Shinigami is like, there was a screen from a Jump scan a week or so ago. I'm sure there's a higher resolution one in Famitsu PS3, but until someone scans that, this is all we have:

Holy shit wow... FFXIII has the hottest characters ever in a game, I love that redhead girl and this new one. Game looks stunning, and it's really good to hear that it's going back to the turn-based battle system... so at least we know, even if the game doesn't turn out good, it's guaranteed to at least be better than XII!

So is Belts & Zippers Man going to become the official ninja ruler of S-E or something? Because it seems like he controls what happens in basically every single game now.

DO WANT FF13, btw. Thank god it isn't going to play like FF12. I didn't even get far enough in the game to gain Balthier and the Rabbit person. It was that horrible.

The DKSigma event was specifically for games produced by Kitase & Nomura's part of the company so of course he's going to be involved in the ones being promoted right now (not Sigma Harmonics though, and only marginally for FF13), but other stuff like Last Remnant, the Crystal Chronicles and Ivalice games, the new MMORPG, Front Mission and Mana series he has nothing to do with.
