New videos from Square-Enix to be shown at the Tokyo Game Show(FF XIII to be exact)

[RiseToFall]

OMFG god the videos were SOOOOOOOOO freaking awesome. I waited in line about 30 minutes to see the 20 minute trailer they were showing at the Tokyo Game Show. FFXIII is beyond amazing. It was the first time my jaw had dropped for a game since well .... I don't know when. First off, the PS3 graphics are beyond beautiful. The Cinematics were so massive in scope, with so much going on it was hard to see everything. I'd have to say that IN GAME battle graphics were better than the FMVs from FFX and the game play was FASTER than DEVIL MAY CRY. The head character is a girl with a sword gun, but it showed her also using guns, WAILING on her enemies with blinding speed, then following up with slashes from her sword, impaling them, bring it down from above . . . there were so many enemies on the screen at one time and so much damage was being done with them. Square has totally changed the gameplay of this one . . . the fighting system has totally been redone. NO more active battles. And the FMVs to this game? OMG!@!@#!@ Beautiful. The game takes place in the future, there's this prison train on this suspended monorail going amazingly fast, then a bomb blows up on the tracks and sets off this all out attack.

My god. .. I don't know if I can talk anymore about it.

FFXIII is actually three games. FFXIII Agito is actually a mobile phone game dealing with cards (the begininning movie for it was freaking awesome), and FFXII Versus didn't really show any gameplay but it had this guy who is supposedly from a long line of secret kings that have protected humanity for a very long time, up until the present time. It had him residing on this throne, as it told the story, then he walks outside to see all his guards dead (about 30 or so), then about 10,000 knights in armor with Machine guns (sort of an oxymoron) unleashing their fire upon him and he blocks it with these 15 (or so) invisible swords and other weapons, then chooses on weapon, which is like a sword with a ENGINE on it and then the preview stopped. I think the first game is finished and this one is still under the works.

But wow ... damn it was cool. And that was just the FFXIII stuff

-And your 100% sure that they were showing actual gameplay for FF XIII and not just a FMV made to look like gameplay.
-Basically was there a guy holding a controller and playing the game or was it just a movie?
