JP official site update
FINAL FANTASY XIII
New info/pics on Cid, Galenth Dysley (the pope dude), Captain Rygdea, and Vanille's Eidolon, Hecatoncheir.
Cid's airship is called the Lindblom, which is probably a nod to FFIX Cid's country. They've already done a few similar things, such as the city of Palompolom ( a nod to FFIV's twins).
"You may say that though Zanarkand is gone from this world, it lives on in the song."
Hecatoncheir? A nod to FF III, who would have thought?
Oh, a nod to 3? That was in 3? I've gone to FF Wiki and didn't see it anywhere.
ETA: Never mind. Found it. So it was an old boss in 3, eh? They went back pretty far in the series for that one.

I'm not sure if it was a normal "let's create a summon based off mythology" choice or if it was an actual decision to reference FFIII but either way its still nice to see a new face.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
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...
I think most of those summons look awesome.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
So does anyone know if Serah is going to be a playable character or not?
The release stuff shows her with all the other playable characters, which would kind of imply that she is, and we know that she becomes a l'cie like the others from the trailers. I don't see any summon/bio info on her though.
I don't think she'll be playable at all, actually. Or if she is, only briefly. However, much of the plot revolves around whatever her fate is.
She's probably like Team Nora - playable at certain points.Originally Posted by Rad Bromance
Brynhildr is the best summon name EVER. Hecatoncheir looks badass. The only summon I don't particularly enjoy the look of is Odin, at least his face ...
edit: Uhm, actually, it looks like Serah dies in a lot of the trailers.

I think they're intentionally trying to make us think that when it fact it won't happen.
They tried to do the same thing with Rinoa in the FFVIII trailers before it came out.
I agree some with Rad Bromance. I think with that one trailer that showed her and Snow in Nautilus we were supposed to be reminded a little of the Golden Saucer date between Aeris and Cloud.
