Versus is getting airships and a world map? from the trailers only XIII hinted at those, unless they were confirmed in some interview while not for XIII.
wtf
oh come on, I was trying to think of a witty thing to say. it was hilarious lol.
Why can't we get a fantasy (NOT SCI-FI) FF game like FFI-IV+IX again?
They tried going back with IX.
I don't remember the response being warm enough (from VII & VIII fans) to warrant more for Square.
They've all been fairly sci-fi though, especially IV.
People played XII?
People played XII?
2,322,329 in Japan alone.
FFXII haters like to pretend that the entire world agrees with them and the game was some horrific bomb. It had a successful international release and spawned a DS spinoff that sold over half a million copies.
Stick with DQ.

I always thought that there was immense backlash with FFXII, due to the combat system, at least in Japan.
I've seen copies of FFXII in Toys R Us for $5.
umm I remember reading on GAF way back about some survey regarding XII after it was released asking people to rate some aspects of itI thiiiiiink I remember what you're talking about, but it was just some rating site for hardcore gamers. The number of people polled would represent a tiny fraction of those who bought the game.
I remember the story getting a D and the game getting a C or C- overall.
Take this with a grain of salt as I have no proof of this atm.
Just announce a release date already ::)

In other news, FFIV underperformed there, so go figure.

probably late 2009 or 2010 for Japan, 2010 definitely for America.
I still don't see it making 2009 even in Japan
remember before this year when FFXIII was coming only to PS3?
yeah, things change depending on the circumstances. I still don't see it making 2009 even in Japan unless it's really late like WKC is.
Hardly any in-game footage shown (not even talking about gameplay here) and the demo releasing halfway through the year in an exorbitant way bundled with a blu-ray release.
March 29th 2010 in Japan...potentially. the ffxii pattern works for me.
...still counts as winter 2009 fiscal year ;)
I counted at least more than one time in this thread that people said these games look good. Dudes, they haven't even shown the game. They've only shown movies. There is nothing there to look good, yet!!!
Unless you're the type of person that really, really liked Advent Children.
The release is so far away, they can't reveal everything now. They have to keep everyone hyped by revealing bits and pieces every now and then.
I mean do you honestly believe that in a few months all they were able to create was a few seconds of extra footage that gets added to the same old trailer?
If the battles are up and running, why not show those in the trailer?
QuoteIf the battles are up and running, why not show those in the trailer?
They said the demo had to be completed in December to get it produced in the quantity required for ACC in March. If they don't have the battles (and pretty much everything else) running yet, they'll definitely have to delay ACC or cancel the demo.
the demo is done (or almost done). the content for the full game is far from done.
i'm pretty sure FF13 is already done, but for some reason they just won't reveal it. I'm thinking of the 360 version and localization as a possible reason. It's just a baseless assumption, really.

QuoteThe ending of the FF13 trailer looks like it could be real-time
it's the same mocked up "Blizzrad" footage from 2 years back (or whenever that was)
I can't wait to see what it's like.
the first person who starts blaming anything wrong with it on the X360 gets a good kicking.
Are the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions launching at the same time in the US and Europe? I recall hearing that, but I might be thinking of a rumor I made up.
i'm having final fantasy withdrawal

I might be very late to your party, but did you ever play Lost Odyssey? That's essentially the real sequel to FFX.
I played it. Loved it. It gave me the hankerin for psx era Final Fantasy and I replayed FFVIII, IX, and X this past year after playing it.
The fact they made an entire game starring her with a Lara-makeover should say a lot about how much they regret her design. If only they made her attitude more bitch-like too.

Yuna in FFX-2 is still Yuna.
Only on the inside. She went from looking like the most conservative looking FF gal to being the most whorish.
They just had to cater their fanbase
I don't understand how she's shitty in X but not in X-2. In X, she's a girl who had her life decided for her from the start: to become a summoner. This meant she couldn't really fully enjoy life because for her, life was all about protecting people and dying to save those same people. So in FFX-2, after they've defeated Sin, she's supposed to be dead. However, the one constant throughout her life -- Yevon -- was a sham. It's basically Yuna trying to find who Yuna really is, and not some shmuck used for the religion she would have sacrificed herself to. Yuna in X is a strong female lead, Yuna in X-2 is a strong female lead who doesn't know her place in the world. I think the way X and X-2 develop Yuna make her the best female character in the series.

that's great and all, but where does that stop her from being insufferable in any dialogue situation? she's a terrible character.
Actually, FFX cast isn't that bad, just compared to most Final Fantasy games they are.

Yeah, when I wiped everything to make room for installs I could get to maybe 13gigs free max.
I also learned that Bioshock developers are TERRIBLE at compression. My save game folder was 250megs, that's bigger than most XBLA games. Every save in Bioshock is 6-12 megs big. WTF!!!!!!

One of the demos was Call of Duty 3, right?
Who are these LO fans here? As far as I know, only me and Groo got all 1100. Sorry, no fans around here.
So the new trailer of XIII, shown at Jump Fiesta today, shows new battle footage. Snow fights some dudes and Shiva fucks them up. Reports are saying the battles look smooth as heck. Need more info.
Apparently there's no random battles. So it'll be like FFXII, but then it'll switch to ATB style which is described to be as more tactical than FFX, faster than FFX-2. Transitions appear to be seamless and Autumn Thread at GAF has said in his impressions that the battles presented in the trailer are the fastest and most ferocious seen in the series.
At this point, I just want the demo.
best game series ever is coming back from long dormant sleep.
expect a lot of ff discussion from himu in the coming months.
No main FF was ever garbage. So none of these will be either...well, 2 is kind of garbagespoiler (click to show/hide)You can die after reading this spoiler if you're a FFXII hater[close]
And XIIyou're stupid and should die
I don't get all the hate for FFXII. I thought it was still good albeit different from previous final fantasy games. People treat it as if it's a terrible game like GTA4 or something.
:lol You're such a flip-flop himu.
this xiii better be all that or i'm writing the series off forever.
Is FFX2 worth playing?
"hordes and hordes of fuckheads" = sounds pretty much like every final fantasy, except this one lacks random battles and gives you plenty of options to remove the tedium of the treadmill grind
"even more rooms that are pointless" = what's the point of playing any game? to explore? sense of wonder? adventure? fun? why not just watch it on youtube.
FFXII isn't perfect and FFXIIi is definitely improved. But the hyperbolic nonsense that gets flung at this game like it's some horrific mess is untenable. This is the company that published Dirge of Cerberus or Driving Emotion.
:lol You're such a flip-flop himu.
How? I'm probably the biggest FF faggurt here. Everyone knows I'm the guy who makes all the FF topics.
FFXII sucking balls, however, has put a major dent in my fandom. If FFXIII makes up for that garbage game then all is well in the world.
FFXII is so bad it made Matsuno commit seppuku

Because sometimes you're totally in love with the series and you want to get married to it, and other times, you're willing to file for divorce.
You're currently picking out a ring. I know you love the series, I just notice your appreciation for it goes up and down.
Trying to play the game on full speed WITHOUT gambits = impossible, thus game is broken. Game doesn't cater to multiple play styles and instead makes playing the traditional way a total chore.

and when has FF ever catered to different play styles? you assign some characters to a specific task, exploit enemy weaknesses, and that's about it. Final Fantasy games, if not played like a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, keep you leveled above your enemies pretty much the whole time, unless you wander to the wrong area. They aren't the deepest games at all.

Are you really comparing Gambits to eating Pocky while playing ToV? Travesty.
It has always catered to multiple play styles. This is why they have Active/Wait and Fastest/Slowest speed in the first place.
In FFXII it is impossible to play on Active with the fastest speed without gambits because the menu is so damn cumbersum. Press x to open menu, select ability. Press X, press right to go to the next character and dial in his stuff. Press X, press left, enter his stuff. It's impossible. I put it on wait mode to my detriment, and the game was definitely more enjoyable then, but I can't stand wait mode in FF's. I still do the Press X, confirm; press x, press right, confirm; press x, press left, confirm shit in wait mode. I've done that for 54 hours of play time and it's the ONLY way I can get some enjoyment out of FFXII, which is a travesty.
BUYING AI
Apparently there's no random battles.
Himumumu + BrandNew = too dumb to figure out XII confirmed.
where are the new scans?
Never played FFXII before, so I can't comment on its quality. However, I feel given a few years, it will be seen as a messageboard darling for trying something new, kinda like Majora's Mask or something (since that seems to be the way internet counterculture works). So don't fret, kev. :)

That's the game trying to tell you to use gambits. It's a necessary part of the game. Also, Wait/Active/Fast/Slow is not about different play styles. those are basically the difficulty level setting in FF.
I thought everyone agreed that FFXII took away the illusion of control that's present in most FF games. So instead of hitting X a thousand times to tell party members to do the same shit, you set up a general plan with gambits, then micromanage characters when necessary.
Himumumu + BrandNew = too dumb to figure out XII confirmed.
I don't like gambits though. I think they make the game too boring.

The quality is irrelevant, honkies. It'll be loved years from now solely based on its underratedness.

Gambit system is just assigning hotkeys. Nothin new.
I liked it. It's more fun then having to command your chars every fucking turn.
Good idea. You should set it to Auto Fight then!
Is autofight as complex as the gambit system? no.
Well I dunno what FFXII did that was new, but you hear people complaining about it all the time.

As for the new characters..
I would not call the big new male character's hairstyle an afro, but his hair does look like somebody put a tube over his head and then his scalp exploded, permanently frying his hair up in fine DBZ fashion. It's not long and ridiculously spiky, though. Just... exploded. His hair is VERY orange, and he either has it shaved into thin zig zag shave patterns on the sides of his head or he has a lot of tiny zig zagging braids there. He appears to be wearing a frayed or fur trimmed blue vest and is pretty clearly black. He is wearing off-white to khaki colored long shorts with simple gold patterns on them. He also has a silver necklace with a rectangular, flat silver pendant, wide sides horizontal. He's present mostly in the prison break scenes, helping Snow and the other new male and female characters, although he is the only character I was able to identify for sure on the train with Lightning before she broke out.
As for the younger new male, the first thing that came to my mind upon seeing him was Gippal, probably because of his blond hair and main colors pink and black outfit. He wears goggle-like headgear on his forehead. He does not look 'shota' to me, but he does look young compared to Lightning, Snow and big black new dude. He is blond. He looks to be older than pigtails girl by a couple years. He does talk with an affect. For people who know some Japanese, he tacks 'sska' onto the end of 'ja nai ka' questions to make 'ja nai sska' and 'ja nai ssu'. I don't know exactly the real life implications of the affect, whether its regional, age or culture, but it does exist in real Japanese speech. He seems to often have complaints about situations and courses of action, but help out regardless.
New female character reminds me of Yuffie a little, but her hair is at least shoulder length and appears to be tied back. She does not appear to be very patient. She has a purplish butterfly tattoo visible on her shoulder from the back. I think it's her right shoulder. Her outfit's colors are yellow, white and purple. She is wearing a very short, ruffled layered yellow skirt. She shows considerable amounts of skin compared to Lightning and Vanille. She's also wearing something like knee high fishnet socks. I believe she is shown using a gun.
As for what's happening in the actual trailer, there seems to be two separate parts being told at the same time.
First, there is Lightning rescuing Oerba Dia Vanille on a train with the three new characters and Snow. This scene takes place in the very green colored area with all the train tracks suspended in the air, visible in this image.
I'm not sure about the trailers' order of shown events, as both covered similar events while including different scenes, but the story follows this way..
Lightning and the new black character are on the prisoners' train, dressed in the same white outfits we have seen Oerba Dia Vanille wear when she is captured. They are sitting with several other prisoners. All of them are restrained by some kind of force from the wrist areas of the clothes they are wearing. They talk quietly and briefly to each other, and suddenly the train hits what appears to be some kind of force field barricade set up on its tracks, and begins to run out of control. Lightning jumps out to attack and crushes a remote control-like device with her foot, releasing all the prisoners from their hand bindings. Lightning waves her hand past her hip and begins to generate what looks like an electrical field around herself but appears to be connected to her gravity based abilities.
The large dragon-like flying beasts we have seen before attack the out of control train, seemingly in an attempt to stop Lightning from hijacking it. She shoots at them from the train with a large bazooka-like gun. Eventually they knock the train off its tracks.
The fighting ends up outside, where all the other new characters plus Snow join in. They have a lot of help in the form of what appears to be a small rebel force, armed with what appear to be standard, bullet-firing guns of fair power. Some of the train rails have been destroyed by the fighting, and the rebels assisting Lightning and company are entrenched in the rubble.
The people who escaped the train when Lightning broke out want to help them fight, and eventually Snow consents to letting them figh to. Among the escapees is Oerba Dia Vanille, who Snow gives a gun to. She takes it, pretends to aim it at an enemy, and says "Bang!"
The fighting seems to get worse, and a heavily armored enemy airship arrives. It blows away a good portion of the resisting fighters with one cannon blast, and Snow is knocked off the train rail while attempting to rescue another fighter and falls from view.
The scene changes to Lightning on a platform with a character who does not appear to be a main playable character by lack of remarkable clothing (His name is possibly Sazzu by the menus). The other character is a male in very plain clothing, although he appears to follow her around for some time as she moves and fights, possibly a guide character.
Lots of fight scenes are strung together, seemingly more for the purpose of showing off the battle menues than carrying the story forward, as eventually it breaks off to the second main storyline focus area: Lightning, Snow and Vanille in the frozen-looking lake area.
There are scenes of them fighting both monsters and soldiers there, and at one point Snow summons Shiva and uses her in battle to attack. Among his menus when using Shiva are attacks called "Diamond Dust" and "Engine". The attack he performs causes damage in many separate increments. In a scene we've seen in magazine scans, Vanille mentions she has seen "that" before, she thinks, although what "it" is is unclear.
Depending on which trailer you're watching, a dialogue about someone named Sera plays either over a scene near the battle at the train tracks area or in lip synch between Lightning and Snow in the frozen lake area, where Snow mentions Sera and Lightning becomes angry at him for not saving Sera, claiming it was his fault that whatever happened to her happened. Snow seems to believe that he can still save her, but Lightning thinks nothing can be done about it anymore. She hits him twice, and both appear to be near tears. He stops her with something he says about what he thinks he can do. (I believe she asks "What is it you think you can do, huh?" in regards to how to save Sera and he replies "Anything!")The blue golem-like creatures are present during some of the voice over conversation. It seems they are somehow connected to what happened to Sera. (Sorry, I'm fairly unsure about the goings on outside the train fighting scenes).
Throughout the train section of the trailers, many, many charactes are shown, most of whom appear to be rebel fighters and escapees from the train, but I've only described in detail the ones who have been seen in gameplay combat or who have unique clothing.
At some point in time (it's shown at the beginning of a trailer, but I can't pin it down chronologically), Vanille is shown standing outside in her white hooded outfit in the green-lit train area, and she mentions the "beginning of the end of the world."
The large green creature/statue like object in the first linked image also features quite prominently in the trailer, but I'm not sure what it is or what it means. In the version where talk of Sera is dubbed over the train scenes, it appears quite often while the conversation plays.

So it only took Square 13 years to realize that Chrono Trigger's battle system was really fucking good?

:yuck Hamauzu 2.0 : Bland Edition :'(
Information Acquired from the scans:
- Apparently the MP system is gone and is replaced with a "cost" system.
- In one turn, you can stock up a series of commands and activate them all at once, instead of choosing one. Also, depending on the pattern of the commands you choose, Lightning's actions will change. For example, choosing "attack-attack-fire" and "attack-fire-attack" will activate different movements of Lightning. At the beginning of the game the maximum number of stocks per turn is 3, but it is very likely that the number will increase as you progress through the game.
- ATB is updated in the game, where you can to control the amount of the ATB gauge to use. For example, if you choose the maximum amount of commands in a turn, the gauge will become empty, but if you choose only one command in a turn, the loss of the gauge will be minimal.
- A yellow bar is displayed on the top right corner of the screen, which displays a "bonus" percentage on the bottom and the chain attack number on the top. "BREAK" replaces the chain number when the chain attack is broken. The use of the bar and the meaning of the bonus percentage is still unknown.
- The field system is very similar to FFXII's where the enemies are visible, and you have the choice to engage in combat or ignore. On the field you can check the enemies' names and HPs before you go into combat.
- The main enemies from the Holy Government are the Gewalt hounds, and the PSICOM soldiers. When Lightning was still in the Holy Government, she had some kind of association with PSICOM.
- The giant mechanical enemy that Lightning has been seen with on the train belongs to the Holy Government, and is called Manasvin. It mainly attacks with lasers and with circular blades that are attached to its wings.
- During gameplay, Lightning's weapon's form can freely be changed by a command in the menu. From a blade, to a gun, and vice versa.
- Lightning uses her weapon with her right hand, while she uses magic with her left hand. She does not summon gravity with her own powers, instead, she uses a special mechanic that's attached to her left hand.
- Not much of the new character on the bottom left corner of page 3 is revealed, except the fact that he knows Lightning since she was with the government.
Kitase apparently says in this interview that the development is coming to an end. At least, that's what some guy on gaf says. Need clarification.

he says the "base" of FF13 is finished, whatever that means.
he also says they currently have no plans for DLC. they might end up doing it but if so they'll have to write up a new plan and it will be treated as a new project to create a new game that just happens to be sold as DLC, not as part of the current project.
I hope there's some form of world map, but I'm beginning to think it went the way of the mastodon :(
At the very least, make it a mix between X and XII's traveling.
Versus has a world map.

New character revealed in V-Jump: Sazh Katzroy.
He will be a starting party member and will be with you early on in the game. He's middle-aged, dual-wields pistols. Sazh has a baby chocobo that nests in his afro... he's a good person, easily moved to tears and has good judgment and a sense of social responsibility.
"Sazh Katzroy"?
His name compared to the others is a bit strange since most of them have code-names.
"Lightning", "Mr. 33cm", "Ohara(lol) Vanilla"... his name should've been "Chocolate Pudding".
No one does black characters like Square.
