Square's E3 Show Announcements & Discussion

Looks pretty delicious, especially since VP: Lenneth will come to the U.S. (And Silmeria.) *sigh*...

And FFXIII, Classics Ports, and the Wii Dragon Quests sound pretty tasty too, as well as a new Seiken Densetsu game! And gotta love that logo. Keep cranking out more concept art, Amano. And yay! Nomura is the designer. Although I can't really tell his design apart from the guy who did FFXII, so meh.

Some stuff.

If anyone can find full-size versions of those FFXIII images without watermarks that sites like IGN use, I'll be eternally greatful. As for the games: XIII will probably be fun, but it bothers me to see Square turning each new game into its own little franchise.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Considering the watermarks are on top of empty white space, it would be a simple trick to remove them yourself.

This game looks terrible. Enix has ruined Square.

Kidding. Who the hell knows what it will be like. She's a looker, though (the game, not the girl). Not sure if I want to pay $600 for the system to play it.

those graphics are amazing and thats only in a normal battle. i hope it keep the FF feel to the game but im sure they wont 100% ditch the storyline. its good the have a futuristic FF every now and then as a little break from ones like FF4 or FF9. as long as they make a good storyline, ill be o.k with it. i guess ill need a PS3 sooner or later. it being futuristic isnt a bad thing because as you can tell it still has swords and magic.

I can't seem to get excited over XIII. Xenosaga 3 is still top in my mind, maybe after i get it XIII will get me going.

[boys from the dwarf]

i think the battle system will be less like the others and more like FF12s. looks great but one FF game is enough to be waiting for. let alone 2!

A female protagonist...My greatest Final Fantasy wish come true, finally!

What? Tidus wasn't girly enough for you?

Looks like Square 'in over it's head' Enix has it's work cut out for it.

hahahahahahah

tidus is a girl.

X-2 was all girls......I'd say that the protagonist was female.

So FFXIII is going to be multi platform eh, thats lame.
After looking at the trailer, im not feeling it, it looks the part, but whats up with the gameplay, thats not why I got into Final Fantasy.

Multi-platform? You mean PS3 and mobile phones?
Because the 'main' FF series is PS3 exclusive.

I'm disappointed in the severe disproportionality between the number of announced FF titles and the number of announced anything else.

I agree that FF is starting lose it's feel a bit. Ever since it's jump to the PS2 I've been slighty disapointed. Not that FF10 wasn't a great game, it just wasn't the masterpiece that FF9 was. The announcement of FF13, which I think it's safe to say will not be released until 2011, was impressive. I like how Final Fantasy can always keep it's Magic and Sword's theme fresh, amongst even the most futuristic of settings. Don't be so afraid of change people. Although the whole 3 FF13's concept is still confusing, and a tad bit disapointing, I'm sure it will be just as much of an experiance as any of your favorite games in the series. Just think positive, and have faith in the developer who has already caused you to spend so much time talking about it's games over this forum. Legend of Mana for PS1 was the [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. I loved that game so much. I'm satisfied with all of Square's announcements. I just hope Square can stop milking the fat-ass cash cow that Final Fantasy has become. I'd hate to see FF get ruined.

I like the idea of battling like that, keeping the battle flowing, but to keep the elemet of turn based, like selecting your next move while the previous move is still happening, but seeing how it is fast paced, that one would be a tough one to pull off, specially with 2 or 3 other characters by her side.

I'm more of a futuistic kind of Final Fantasy player, although saying that, it can be futuristic, medieval or whatever, long as there's a story and elements of what Final Fantasy traditionally is, i'm not bothered. There's always be some kind of emotion woven into Final Fantasy's stories, i think it will be the key in this games success.

Also, i thought the music piece in the trailer sounded good.

[boys from the dwarf]

it was only 2 games. just because FFX and X-2 werent as good as 9 (which is my favourite.) doesnt mean that all of the ones after them will be bad as well. wait until there out then decide whether there good or not.
