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.

I want a Valkyrie Profile style world map where you feel like superman flying over the world. I actually bought Valkyrie Profile because I played that overworld in Electronic Boutique.

By the way, this week's "battle system info" doesn't come from any interview, and might just be speculation by the Famitsu editors based on the screens, so it's not necessarily any more authoritative than whatever you might yourself speculate based on the same screens.

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.

That's lame.

If there's an FFXIII International, it'd be great if it were dlc beacuse we'd actually be able to get it for a change.

Dragon Quest VIII's world map was indeed grand, but I have no faith for that to ever be in a Final Fantasy game ever again

Himu · « **Reply #250 on:** December 26, 2008, 11:56:13 PM »

Ever again? It's never been in a Final Fantasy.

What I want from FFXIII and Versus XIII worlds are:

1. lots of secret places full of secret shit. I'm thinking things like Wutai, Fort Condor, the older man across the river bank near Junon that gives you Mithril, stuff like that. I'm thinking all the various towns in FFVI, including the island where you meet Gogo. I'm talking about towns that aren't even required to visit in the main story like Shumi village, or totally badass dungeons that have the game's most illest monsters all in one area as was seen in FFVIII's deep research facility. The hidden shit that rewards players for exploring is far more preferable to just giving you a generic, shitty 60 gil reward in some shitty treasure chest out in the middle of fucking nowhere like in FFXII, or the severe lack of secrets seen in X.

2. I don't want zones like in FFXII. I want one huge world map. Like the beginning of this:

3. Numerous vehicles like in old days: ships/boats, chocobos, airships whatever. All controllable, and NOT just at the end of the game. One problem with recent jrpgs is that they emphasize all of this exploration and secret stuff at the VERY end of the game by giving you no vehicle at all until the very end and by that time you just want to beat the game already. One thing I will praise FFXII for doing is allowing you to go any place in the game at any time so long as you've visited it. It was very Dragon Quest-ish and getting around the world was a joy. You could go grab a ton of loot from various monsters, go to another part of the world and sell the shit, and end up rich. Earlier Final Fantasy's did the same thing. In FFIV, for example you get a ship early on. You get the airship halfway through the game. You get a ship at the very fucking beginning of FFV basically. In FFVI, you get the airship not even HALF way through the game, you get it at least 1/4 through. With FFVII you've got the tiny bronco, that thing you win at the chocobo racing to get out of prison, and the highwind; even then, if you wanted to, you could back track to Junon/Midgar if you didn't have the means of transportation by just going to Cosa Del Sol. In FFVIII, you get a fucking airship that rides on limited terrain halfway through the game. Etc etc.

In FFX and XII you could really on ride chocobos. And in FFX it's like in just one spot isn't it?

It just felt that in the earlier Final Fantasy's 1-9, to be exact, there was a good emphasis on exploration, finding all the nooks and crannies, all the secrets. I'm not going to fault the ps2 era Final Fantasy's -- although FFX-2 was *full* return to this type of play style -- because pretty much all the ps2 era rpgs, aside from Dragon Quest VIII, have the same problem. Thankfully, this generation's jrpgs so far has psx era level of interaction and exploration -- Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon. Blue Dragon especially. I just want a return old FF style exploration.

God, Dragon Quest VIII <3

I wish it didn't look so poopy now on my PS2, I kinda want to play it again. It's such a chore getting into at first though

Himu · « **Reply #252 on:** December 27, 2008, 12:10:01 AM »

I'd replay DQVIII if i hadn't spent 80 hours the first time

if it were more short like dq1-6 i'd replay it in a heartbeat

Purple Filth · « **Reply #253 on:** January 14, 2009, 01:27:28 PM »

According to some GAF translators the chocobo lives in his afro

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".

smiling black man with heart of gold, stores chicken in his wild afro, blasts enemies with his gats, probabl talks funny for comic relief

Holy shit at that character, with a chocobo in his afro... looks like I'm finally interested in a new FF game.

When translated his name reads "Whatchu Talkinboutu Willisu"

a distinguished black fellow holding a chicken... seriously Square?

omg wow

somebody photoshop a watermelon slice on his mouth so the stereotype is complete

Yeah, this is pretty bad. Black people should just not be in Japanese video games. Though Drebin wasn't bad.

cool breeze · « **Reply #265 on:** January 14, 2009, 07:54:41 PM »

I think it's hilarious because they're probably thinking it's such a fresh thing to have a black character in the games. I can almost guarantee that at least one person who thought him up had a notepad which read Black character to do list: 1. dark skin, 2. afro, 3. chicken

"He's like the most normal person in a FF game, ever." "It's pretty clear that he's just raping her."

is it true that the version of advent children with the demo will be like a hundred bucks?

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #268 on:** January 14, 2009, 10:01:18 PM »

Are people serious about the chicken thing? The gap between liking to eat bird meat and keeping actual birds in your hair is pretty wide.
