Pretty nice trailer.  There's still something so...Star Wars Ep.1 about the designs and I feel like it's all flash, but I have to play this game.

Not about the robots but FFXIII looks to be out Shonening all the other Final Fantasy's.... I'm getting too old for this shit.

Its almost like that Blade / Twilight picture. I could picture a photoshop of the whole gang of FFXIII with a Super Mutant from Fallout 3 about to curbstomp the fuck out of all of them.

Same.  The Power Rangers robots reminded me of bad Voltron rip-offs.  Voltron was so much fucking cooler, even the vehicle one. 

This is the only good thing to have come out of Power Rangers.

I don't know who the fuck y'all is, y'all ready for some crab dick?

- I dick-slap bitches for a living!
- Combination fried rice, bitch!
- Oh yeah, chicken and watermelon!
- I'm barely eighteen!
- Bitch I don't give a fuck!

I quote anywhere from 10-20 of these lines during any multiplayer game on Xbox Live

"That's right bitch, and I'm gonna take you out...cuz my name is oogie boogie"
"You know where I'm from? Frosty Pookie Eddy Eddy!"
"What the fuck does that mean? I don't know, I'm Jose Canseco" (fires energy beam)

That trailer was uhhhhhhhhhh for three minutes, then they show the gameplay montage  :o :o :o

Combat looks incredible.  And as weird as the content seems, it looks like they are actually talking and moving at the same time now, a step up from the dialogue, pantomime, dialogue structure.  Story looks like digimon.

besides we already know the next final fantasy is going to suck so can we at least hope for this one?

It's a new Final Fantasy game.  They know they can get away with the price-gouging.

Let's not forget that this is the same country that sells animu DVDs for 7000 yen a pop and makes you buy blu-ray/DVD combo packs for 9000 yen or higher.

cheap-o, awkward Bioware sex scenes > highly produced uguu filth

knowing that Bioware didn't put effort in the sex scenes while Square has an army working the cutscenes makes all the difference.  Plus, you can skip the sex scenes in Dragon Age.

I agree with swaggaz, it is getting tougher to be a weeaboo by the day (fortunately).  The peak of weeabooism was probably a couple of years ago when they were pumping out anime DVD subs and dubs by the truckload.  With a lot of weeaboo importers closing up shop, the day of being a japanotard has long since passed.  Uguu~

I doubt I'll get it because I rarely buy games over $20.  I'm still playing through 360 games released in 2006 and 2007.  At this rate, it'll probably be 2012 until I think about buying FFXIII.  At that point, I hope I will have moved on from video gaming entirely.  Although I always hope for this so this is probably unlikely.  That and most of what I've seen is uninteresting.  It's like a mix of FFX and robot anime.

Post by: magus on November 26, 2009, 05:29:34 AM
i didn't mind the idea of gambit that much (i mean... it's auto combat! if anything i don't understand what's the big deal there?) what i couldn't stand is how after a while every boss battle goes like this

1. cast bubble
2. cast lure on bubbled guy
3. occasional cast of reverse
4. occasional use of ether to keep abusing reverse
5. wait for half an hour several hours if you are fighting the secret boss
6. the cake is done

you know thinking back about it,it's not surprising this game was done by the man who tought it was an awesome idea to have your character deals only 1 damage to bosses unless the alignment of planet was right
Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII has GIANT ROBOTS FUCK YEAH
Post by: Jansen on November 26, 2009, 05:34:11 AM
uhh the big deal is the lack of player interaction.

all i remember doing the entire time i played XII was walking my dudes from point a to point b and watching them kill everything whilst i touched myself from boredom.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII has GIANT ROBOTS FUCK YEAH
Post by: magus on November 26, 2009, 05:36:29 AM
oh i do agree there is a lack of player interaction what i mean is for people who think that it's a good system what makes it different from any other "auto" option found in other rpg's?

Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII has GIANT ROBOTS FUCK YEAH
Post by: magus on November 26, 2009, 10:15:04 AM
i've tried turning the gambit off once... it did end up that i spend way more time blocking the game and issuing attacks command than doing anything else

you know what was the best setup for me? set 2 character to gambit and control one,play him as a mage,at that point you have some control and you don't have to stop the game every 2 friggin seconds

I'm looking forward to the battle system most of all, it's nice they ditched the horrific FFXII system in favor of something more traditional.
Did anyone even like XII? 

i really like the battle system, when it's all said and done. It just took me like 50 hours to "get" it. The hunts are fuck amazing.

No, XII still sucks shit.

The hunts are amazing, and I really liked the later game dungeons. And I'd rather have FF12's lack of story than this moe. At least it had its heart in the right place and had potential.

Jin, you know you my boo, but XII sucks more than demi is friendless.  Don't see how that's hard to see.

Both games start slow though.  At least TP gains ground three hours in.

i've tried turning the gambit off once... it did end up that i spend way more time blocking the game and issuing attacks command than doing anything else

Just like a traditional turn-based JRPG! I played the entire game like that, and IT WAS AWESOME.

How long did your playthrough last?  Just curious if that adds lots of hours to the game.

It's been three years now since I played it, but it didn't add a whole lot to my playtime. I'm also not one of those "Oh gee willickers! I have to get every item and every single weapon!" hardcore nerd types, either.

I'll have to boot up the PS2 and check the memory card to make sure, but I doubt I spent more than 30-40 hours on the game.

It has its issues, but as I said before, it was a baby step in the right direction. The ideas were great, but perhaps they weren't executed as well as everyone hoped for. I was so excited for XIII, more so than I am now, because I thought SE would develop those ideas further. They may have taken what was so good about XII's battle system and added an ATB twist, but the art direction and character designs (also betting on the story), is your clichéd shonen crap.

Ok, now I'm starting to sound like Emcee when he's defending one of his waggle b-games.

I agree with you on the art direction but who gives a shit, all FF games have crappy art direction.

I'm with Genghis. Missing that Zodiac Spear due to my OCD nature (in regards to looking for chests) was pure torture to me.

It was like SE was all like " :teehee Next time a you buya our Guide, silly westerner"

One thing I did like about Gambits was automated Grinding. Setting up a path and applying Gambit to handle the enemies was strangely fulfilling. With that said, I'm happy FFXIII seems to be pulling a bunch of things from FFXII but not the gambit system. Hunts are in there though :drool

*doesn't understand the need to have the strongest weapon in the game and making a fuss about it*

If I miss it, oh well.

The randomized treasures had far bigger problems than finding the Zodiac Spear. If it were up to me, weapons like fomalhault, demonsbane's, and zodiac spears wouldn't be able to be found in chests and you'd have to go on super side quests to get them, like in the old days.

The bigger problem with FF12's randomized treasure is that there are few rewards. Typically you will get a chest with nothing but 12 gil in it. That's stupid. It makes me not want to explore the world because I'm thinking "I'll just get 12 gil from chests anyways"

Day one. ¥9200 BITCHES. How much is that converted to Americas? OH YEAH IT'S $104 BECAUSE THE DOLLAR IS TANKING.

holy shit.  Why are games so expensive there??

Yeah, that's inflated but it's generallyl pretty wretched. Most games are normally 8000 yen or so, which is like 90+ USbucks. It's even worse that a "big sale" over here is usually 5%-10% off the full retail price. So it's pretty funny why Japanese publishers are so baffled why their games aren't selling well domestically.

And then, even more foolishly, treat overseas market as a secondary consideration.

Then again, aren't games stupid-expensive in Australia and NZ? What about Europe?
