Hope or Despair?
I'm curious to know how people really feel about FFXIII and it's sequels and sidestories. Is it the most awesome thing you ever saw? Or do you look at it as though it's going to finally kill the series once and for all? Please try to be objective and play nice.
I'm mostly curious to know where the community as a whole stands on the idea of the FFXIII project.

Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
im looking forward to it far more than i was for 12, just because it seems SO MEGA AWESOME

Though I'm also sad about it since I'm not going to be able to afford the PS3 to play it on for quite a while...
If it is done well, I am happy.
If it is not done well, I will be "okay, oops on SEs part. Try again plz."
No biggie, babies.
I'm excited about it. I'm just a little worried that they've announced all this stuff for it that it might get a bit stressful for them maybe making them not as good as they could be.
Well 3 of the best SE people are in it: Nobuo Uematsu, Tetsuya, Nomura and Yoshinori Kitase.
The legendary trio that did FFX
You bet I'm hopeful !
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
I thought the FFXIII initial trailer was awesome, makes my hairs stand on end. The VS XIII was cool too... I'm just generally excited ^^
jkhkjg
WHA!?!?!?!?!@?! didnt nobuo uematsu LEAVE after 10-2 or something???? but kitase and nomura and uematsu r V good
Nobuo is doing the ending track for the game it appears, just like in FFXII. I believe the gentlemen who helped composed half of FFX's soundtrack as well as all of FFX-2's soundtrack is doing most of the music again for FFXIII.

It's on a 7th Gen console which I will probably never buy. Don't really care that much, but the premise for both XIII and vXIII sounds like they will pretty much be the epitome of the Nomura generation FFs. Most people will hate that, but I happen to predominantly like his ridiculously over-the-top costumes and bizarre “it has no practical use” weaponry so eh.
Guess I'll be playing "devil's advocate" here...
To me, I'm actually quite taken back by what I see. Lightening looks like FFX-2 Yuna smashed together with Lady Ashe, the premise sounds good but Nomura has never written a story that I've liked so I'm definetly concerned about that.
The Summons... I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who looks at it and thinks that it is ridiculously stupid idea! (MECHA SHIVA!?) Overall, I'm seeing what I saw in FFVII:AC and KH2, alot of fluff with no real substance. Over the top battles and cutscenes but no real proof of a sound story. I'm completely indifferent to FFversusXIII and Agito cause either their is little information about it or it just seems like it's pretty irrelevant.
I've never really liked Nomura and his team and I'm definetly getting some bad vibes out of this whole project. I'm trying my best to stay open minded, the story and battle mechanics seem intriguing, but everytime I start to gain some form of hope for the game, another cutscene or stupid interview comes up that just dashes it all away.
A guy who's only personal information the team thought was relevant was his shoe size? Not to mention he looks like an older version of the KH2 design of Seifer, Shiva turns into a bike? Which Lightening can ride into battle with? Sounds like a toy commercial... and magic is now just technology, thus removing the only element that Tetsuya seems to hate in his games. Fantasy... I don't mind technology and major sci-fi elements in my fantasy RPG's but outside of the "crystal" that is mentioned in the game it seems to be mostly sci-fi. Hopefully this last one will be fixed as more information comes out.

They've made sequels before releasing the game. They must be so full of it to think this is going to bring in millions. I would actually wait until the Japanese version got released, or tbh, the whole game be completely released before making such other titles. Makes more sense. FFXIII for all we know, could be the worst selling FF title ever.
Quote Renmiri on FFXII
She loves it more then X!I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.
Technically, they're not sequels like VII Compliation or X / X-2. They just happen to share mythos and a name (I think), and other than that are completely independant from each other. From what I understand so far, they could easily be released as XIII, XIV etc, if they wanted a mobile game (XIII Agito) being called something like FF XV
I hate the look of that-(XV) I think their probably gonna start giving the new FF titles names now, instead of just some roman numerals.
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

VersusXIII takes place in the same world as well as Agito. They all share the same world and mythology. When they were first talking about it, Nomura said Versus took place at the same time as XIII but in different parts of the world. I don't think it's going that route anymore and I believe I heard that Versus now takes place at a different time period from XIII.
As for Agito, all we know is that it is connected to the XIII universe, and that it is going to be on a cell phone that doesn't exist yet. But I agree Setzer, I think Squenix is getting ahead of themselves and are acting like they can do no wrong. For you Nomura fans, you better hope this doesn't turn out to be another "Spirits Within" for Squenix or you can say goodbye to Nomura...
