I'm going through another FF phase, obviously. :>


So yeah, Final Fantasy XIII.
http://na.square-enix.com/ff13/
(English trailer on site, plus other stuff like music/art.)

It's release date is nearing for JP, and not too far off for America.
Made by Team 1 of Squeenix, makers of 10 and 10-2.

Your thoughts on how the game looks?
Are you anticipating it at all? Or do you think it's going to be yet another bad title like 12?







==========================================================
My thought's

I originally had not paid any attention to this game until today for some reason, mainly because I thought it would be complete **** like it's past two predecessors.
I read today that it's being made by Team 1 of SquareEnix, meaning it's being made by the same people who made FFX and X-2, which immediately caught my attention. This may be the game to have me dust off my PS3.

After watching the trailer I have to say, I'm really impressed by the looks of the game. It looks like it actually has a good, intense story to follow with unique characters; Like all Final Fantasy games should have anyways.
I mean, there's no Red XIII-like characters, but they still look interesting. A blond-headed roughneck and a cheeky black guy can be cool, eh?

Right now I'm praying that this doesn't turn out to be a really short and boring game like 12. So far it looks like nothing of the sort, but at this point there's no telling.
Yeah Football Fan!

I'm a little excited for the game. It's just been so, so, so freaking long since its initial announcement that any lingering excitement has just kind of faded away. I'll admit I'll probably still try to get it on release day simply because it's been hyped for so damn long buuut I'm not holding my breath or anything.

I kind of assume it's way overhyped and won't be nearly as good as my expectations will be. The trailer for TGS was so melodramatic and I'm just... really iffy on it. I'll still be picking up the PS3 version as soon as I can but it's just not as exciting as it should be, I guess.

I'm and Xbro, and I'm kinda frustrated to see all the cuts 13 had to it to fit on the Xbox. But, I'm not expecting anything fantastic. Square Enix has been pretty crappy lately. Especially in their main series.
I actually did not know this about the Xbox 360 version. My cousin was originally planning to get XIII one the 360 when it was released until I told him this. He brought up the point that microsoft is bound to turn it into downloable content through microsoft points (I wouldn't be surprised seeing as they charge for even a small costume pack in ninja gaiden).


But yeah, I agree. I won't be holding my breath.
I am anticipating on playing it, but they're really losing their grip on coming up with intense storylines these days.


On another note, I withdraw my opinion on 12. I found out that I was following a unfinished guide back when I played it, so I thought I finished the game when really I was only 1/3 of the way through it LOL.
Shame on me.
Yeah Football Fan!

Final Fantasy XIII... where to start, okay first off when I first saw the first trailer I was like "oh cool another final fantasy" and I was planning to buy it, but with all the hype its getting and after seeing the TGS trailer, I think I'm gonna put this game off my list since, this game seems like the new overhyped Final Fantasy game since Final Fantasy VII but thats just my opinion, and I don't get the feeling that this is a Final Fantasy game, I always think like this game is a Final Fantasy game? really? and the TGS trailer, I was bored watching it, with all the drama it had. well I guess those are my non-sensical thoughts about Final Fantasy XIII XD

Both version had to suffer cuts because of the Xbox.

I want XIII (and vsXIII) really bad. But I've got other games on my list ATM. These games won't be out for sometimes, and the hype has gotten to be a bit much. I hope the game will be as good as FFX... I really do but... I don't know. I just wish we were able to get the demo of XIII with FFVII:ACC, that would have been nice. I know why why didn't pack it in with the movie (due to the 360 not getting it), but it would have been something for us English fans.
