In the Midst of the 360 Debacle, We Have A New Trailer

[Yar]

So, here's that Final Fantasy XIII trailer ... - PS3 Fanboy


Enjoy, discuss, rant, etc. Put it here.

lol storm troopers

Yeah, sure is a debacle. What with the game going exclusively over to the 360 and all.

Wait, what's that you say? It's still coming out on the PS3? At the same time at that?




Console fanboy baaaaaaw is hilarity at it's finest.

I'm glad they went back to the technological fantasy look/feel that was back in FFVI-VIII and not the not-so-techno-fantasy Star Wars look/feel that was in XII

[Jessweeee♪]

Oh god, if you think it's bad here you should have been in the G4 E3 chatroom x.x

WHY DID I GO THERE?

[Kenshin IV]

I'm wondering the same thing. Why would you go to G4? For anything? Ever?

haha... priceless.

I love how we have seen like all of the stuff in this trailer. The few new parts were nice.. but... why not give us something ENTIRELY new?
Come on, Square. I love you! :)

I followed a link to G4 for the Microsoft press conference stream and thought, "Why not go into the chatroom while I'm here?"

The game's looking visually amazing, but I'm still not that worked up over it. The character designs are re-hashes of what we've seen before, and the combat seems to be trying to emulate all the fantastical acrobatics seen in any recent science-fantasy gunfest.
Still, the landscapes are pretty. They're definitely going a step further than earlier games when it comes to blending technology and magic... summons that appear out of magic DVDs? The concepts have potential.

Also: Star Wars didn't invent the concept of stormtroopers. Those weirdoes in the trailer with the ridiculous uniforms seem to have helmets modeled on hockey masks more than anything else.

It's odd... the PS3 gives them the best opportunity to create a real, believable fantasy world - but instead they're making it pretty while detracting from the realism. I'm just not interested in heroes who never break and sweat and never get injured, or whose clothing and armour has no bearing at all on their movement or defence. In future, they really ought to consult an expert or two who knows about modern weaponry and tactics, and historical weaponry and tactics. Armour and technique, and the appropriate use of each, can make a huge difference when you're trying to construct a realistic setting. Sure, teenage boys probably like the sight of a bikini-clad girl leaping through the air upside down while shooting up army tanks with handguns, but that basically fails as anything more than sensory porn.

Well Lightning was asked to be designed like Cloud with a vagina... (Maybe not that crudely, but that's what was asked.)

I'm just glad it isn't yet another male protagonist.

Once again Square let us down with another pointless trailer. We've seen 95% of that trailer already and the remaining 5% has already been shown in leaked pictures. Please Square, don't waste your time with another trailer unless it is all new footage. Ill wait years just not the same crap over and over again.

"For Playstation 3 only...in Japan"

Hehe...

I think it's great that we finally got our third public trailer. I didn't like the music in the trailer though. The new footage that I see in this trailer(that wasn't in the first two public trailer, but much of it was in released photos), I liked. The best part was the very attractive red-haired pigtailed main character girl, I wish I knew her name. The trailer scene selection and/or "story" didn't seem as good as in the first two public trailers though. I want to see more important Final Fantasy XIII news at the Square Enix event in early August. But I thought that I read that this event would be something like a warmup for the Tokyo Game Show in October.

So today's news was the biggest Final Fantasy XIII news since the game was announced. Although two years have now passed and we don't know a lot more about this game. A downside also is that maybe the release of a Xbox 360 version in Usa and Europe will delay the release of the game in these territories. I want the game in Fall 2009 in Usa!

Square needs to change up their design style. I feel like they've been doing the same designs (only with updated graphics) since FFX. Pointy chin, feathery hair, outfits that look oddly put together, etc. None of this excites me cause I feel like it's the same ol' same ol'.

[Dragonsoul]

Maybe they should change character designers from Tetsuya Nomura to somebody new, not sure though, right now I like him...check out his resume...
Tetsuya Nomura - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As far as art directors go, they have newer guy Isamu Kamikokuryō as Final Fantasy XIII, although he did some work Final Fantasy XII.

What game would you prefer it look like? I'm excited that Toshiro Tsuchida from Front Mission is the battle director.
