s-e's next step: showing us ff13 is a step above the cluster fuck that was ff12!

they are almost completely unrelated projects, with only some of the art staff in common.

He means he wants them to show development is progressing and is not a disaster.

well if you're talking about development, they started working on FF13 in spring 2004 so the late 2008 release they're hoping for already means a longer dev period than FF12's 4 1/4 years. Disaster confirmed!

meh, we know they scrapped the ps2 version and we know they moved it to the whoo-white engine sometime after e3 2k5. i mean after that. otherwise too human is like a total asssludge soup.

FF12 went through different versions too. started as an online game, they were going to have SD character designs at one point, there were at least four different versions of the character growth/license board system, etc. Most projects that take forever went through changes in design or technical direction, had a lot of work scrapped at some point etc. DNF is same

at any rate, I think the work done for the PS2 version was mostly pre-production. They said they kept the scenario and world from that version but not the gameplay/battle system ideas. I doubt there was much PS2-specific programming or realtime art assets they had to scrap

Versus/White Engine looks like Kingdom Hearts 2 HD modified engine to me.

Himu · « **Reply #68 on:** January 23, 2008, 05:00:38 AM »

versus looks more appealing than 13 imo

love the modern setting, and the bad ass dudes with the shotguns and shiat

himu beat me to it, anyway i will update op now.

also...is it me or are all shots fmvs? i thought the "magic shots" were real time? $:-\$

Himu · « **Reply #74 on:** January 23, 2008, 05:35:54 AM »

the magic shots ARE real time

MCD · « **Reply #75 on:** January 23, 2008, 05:41:03 AM »

What about FF13? no real time shots?

seems to me they are aiming to release Versus before 13, makes sense if true since it doesn't look like a big project to me, well not bigger than 13 anyway.

Versus won't be released until well after 13, probably about a year after.

First, this (and the other "information bits") are bad mistranslations of the information on Japanese news/rumor sites (starting with the fact that it's actually Toriyama, not Nomura, who's supposed to have said the above), and second, I'm not sure if the info on Japanese news sites is real to begin with. It's not in any of the scans; are there other pages with interviews and stuff that haven't been scanned?

There's certainly no statement that "there will be tons of news bits", and personally I don't expect any more news or information for the next few months.

look at all the shit i'm taking because i think transforming summons is stupid

Ifrit transforming into a sword would be pretty cool.

It fits the theme of "magic and technology mixed together in unusual ways" very well, along with the slight Flash Gordonish sci-fi theme I think I see, along with the general Kitase-team preference for somewhat eccentric and over-the-top designs, so I think it's good. Of course if you don't like the theme and direction as a whole, you won't like this particular manifestation of it either.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #84 on:** January 23, 2008, 11:59:59 PM »

I just don't understand why they can't just be fuccking summons. Just leave it at that.

Mana Knight · « **Reply #85 on:** January 24, 2008, 12:11:18 AM »

My anticipation shot up 10000000X after I saw these scans. This will most definitely be the greatest next gen game. I just LOVE seeing those summons. Graphics rocks too.
