[Wolf Kanno]

IGN: TGS 09: Final Fantasy XIII Update

Some new info recently revealed. For those to lazy to read the article, things to note:

(SPOILER)Serah is Lightning's sister

Serah is also Snow's fiancee

Serah and Vanille get along well.

Nora's headquarters are in a beach house at a tourist location in Cocoon.

Snow's official weapon is his trench coat...

There is a wind mechanic in the game that affect the environments and Sahz's afro.

There is a dark haired girl revealed in the Premier Party trailer who may be important (possible party member?)

The "launch" button from the demo has been removed and made to be automatic to make the combat system more user friendly.

And not sure how many places it's been revealed, but the last game informer revealed Lightnings summon is Odin, and instead of transforming you get to ride his horse.

Wow that PS3 looks absulutely incredible, shame I already have a damn PS3... Argh!

So Serah will be a big focus point then... hmmm imanginative, the focal point is a person. Hm.

Snow's official weapon is his trench coat...

What.

[LunarWeaver]

This game is so smurfing weird that I just cannot wait.

Awesome.

This game is so smurfing weird that I just cannot wait.

Yeah seriously. It's about time Square-Enix went a bit quirky and abstract.

[Loony BoB]

No no no! It's not! A trenchcoat can't be used as a weapon while the game is supposed to be a more 'serious' game! Surely!?

Maybe he has a magical trenchcoat and it suplies him with magical powers which are his real attacks. Not his trenchcoat. He can't use his trenchcoat as a physical weapon.

Under normal circumstances no, but it all makes sense if Snow is really... JACKIE CHAN!

[Wolf Kanno]

You apparently customize his trenchcoat to give him super powers a la The Tuxedo

Was poking around on my Japanese PSN account and saw a trailer for FF13. 798MBs and it's still downloading, but I looked on YouTube and it looks like it should be the same trailer. 7 minutes long (and posted on the front page). Enjoy

I just watched the trailer. I am more excited for the game now. Looks pretty good. Lightening might look like Cloud but I get the feeling that she's gonna be completely different, at least personality wise.

[PeneloRatsbane]

Wow, Serah is so beautiful. this game looks so awesome I wish i could afford a PS3
