FINAL FANTASY XIII
New info/pics on Cid, Galenth Dysley (the pope dude), Captain Rygdea, and Vanille's Eidolon, Hecatoncheir.
Cid's airship is called the Lindblom, which is probably a nod to FFIX Cid's country. They've already done a few similar things, such as the city of Palompolom ( a nod to FFIV's twins).
Hecatoncheir? A nod to FF III, who would have thought?
Oh, a nod to 3? That was in 3? I've gone to FF Wiki and didn't see it anywhere.
ETA: Never mind. Found it. So it was an old boss in 3, eh? They went back pretty far in the series for that one.
I'm not sure if it was a normal "let's create a summon based off mythology" choice or if it was an actual decision to reference FFIII but either way its still nice to see a new face.
I think most of those summons look awesome.
So does anyone know if Serah is going to be a playable character or not?
The release stuff shows her with all the other playable characters, which would kind of imply that she is, and we know that she becomes a l'cie like the others from the trailers. I don't see any summon/bio info on her though.
I don't think she'll be playable at all, actually. Or if she is, only briefly. However, much of the plot revolves around whatever her fate is.
She's probably like Team Nora - playable at certain points.Quote:

edit: Uhm, actually, it looks like Serah dies in a lot of the trailers.
I think they're intentionally trying to make us think that when it fact it won't happen. :roll2Quote:

I agree some with Rad Bromance. I think with that one trailer that showed her and Snow in Nautilus we were supposed to be reminded a little of the Golden Saucer date between Aeris and Cloud.
