[Game] Final Fantasy XIII

[DarkPrince]

The Japanese release date of Final Fantasy XIII is now officially prenounced!



It will be released in Japan this winter.
The date in Europe and America will be Q2 2010 so we (Europe and America) have 337 day left waiting for Final Fantasy XIII, but the date is not confirmed.
They say that they will try to make the game in style of the o-so famous Final Fantasy VII or so they say.
I realy have high hopes for Final Fantasy XIII it realy looks awesome so far, and they say they will use 100% of the PS3 grafics, so that is a very big plus.
So for all the co-Final Fantasy fans keep your chins up so we can enjoy the demo and hope that we get a great game in return for our patience.

Meh, I dunno really...

The demo wasnt that impressive imo.
Tho I for one like the battle system.

But I wont get my hopes up about characters and story..
It seems quite generic to me, the "Fabulous" black dude with the afro and the baby chocobo seems interesting tho. lol I really hope these characters has some dept, that's what killed XII, characters you dont care about, stupid plot, and boring battles.


BUT.


For making a true Final Fantasy, this is the core concept:

Love story.
Great music.
Engaging plot.
Characters you care about. (Aerith.. T_T)
Kickass battle system.
NO FUCKING TIDUS CHARACTERS. (The stupid bishy brats like Vaan in XII, and Raiden in MGS2 >_>)

...And THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.
A damn badass bad guy.

I cant barely remember who the bad guys were in FFXI-XII.

There hasnt really been an really awesome one since VII, and VI.



Ive been the biggest FF fanboy outside of Japan, but to me FF is dead..
Im not sure if I'll ever get this.

lol

If worse comes to worse, I'll pick it up and give you the yes or no Red. I think the whole "FFVII" thing is true though since the characters come off alike. Lightning and Cloud? Snow? What's with the weather-related names again? The battle system is pretty interesting too. I'd like to see how the whole combo system will work out.

The should stop fucking milking off FFVII. D;

I hate you Sqex.

D: It sucks not to have a PS3 for this . . .

I Agree with these points.

The funny part is it took them so long to realize they could milk FFVII. When they finally realized making Advent Children was like a gift from God himself, they decided to start actually doing what the fans wanted, which is slowly turning on them. >_>

EIther way, I just hope for a good RPG. I need a new one to play. -_-

Is so true that it hurts, But I really hope the story in FF-XIII has some depth in it.
Tho I do find Titus a bit bishy , The story of FF-X was at least worthy of a FF title.

the "Fabulous" black dude with the afro and the baby chocobo seems interesting tho

Was something I was pleasantly surprised with to. 

[Onions For Sale]

An ass-kicking pink-haired female lead in the future with lots of electric blue will always win me over.

I don't mind a subpar story or lame characters. I'll buy it for the visualgasms.

[Tragic]

The antagonist is interesting (if I'm remembering right). Isn't it the female with the glasses and big boobs?

[MoMor]

The battle system looks really interesting, but I DON'T HAVE A PS3 baww

So, like, there's a Final Fantasy character I came to really admire who's not mentioned in any of these posts - so far, that I can see.  Maybe she's just an artifact from yesterday:  new management, new or made-over characters, old characters tossed into the bin.  I've missed her since Final Fantasy VII and all its spin-off stuff, official and unofficial alike, except for that phony feature film.

I'm reminded of a line spoken by the character Kid Shelleen, from Elliot Silverstein's 1965 feature film Cat Ballou:

Yeah, it's all over in Dodge. Tombstone, too; Cheyenne, Deadwood, all gone, all dead and gone. Why, the last time I came through Tombstone, the big excitement there was about the new rollerskate rink that they had laid out over the OK Corral.

Tifa Lockhart is gone, dead and gone.  They tried passing somebody else off as Tifa in the Final Fantasy:  Advent Children feature film, but I don't know who that imposter was.  She wasn't Tifa, that much is sure.  I miss Tifa's compassion for the disadvantaged, her selflessness in being landlady of a public house which fronted a Resistance organization, her unmatched fighting abilities, her caring style of friendship - genuine yet superficially understated....

"Chew 'em up and spit 'em out!" - that's the fate of too many brilliant female characters in anime/games/manga.  Maybe, hopefully, the real Tifa (not some politically-correct version of her) will return one of these days.  But, frankly, that's too much to expect from purveyors of misogyny.  How ironic, that they create splendid female characters yet gleefully treat them like shit and then destroy them.



=^..^=

Tifa was an awesome character. Sadly, she's not around anymore since FF games aren't connected in storylines. -_-

[Flyvåpnet]

Tragic, it's my understanding they're holding Tifa in a sub-basement cell at the headquarters of Square Enix Holdings Co. Ltd. in Tokyo.  She's lost a lot of weight, isn't allowed visitors, has no recourse to medical care, is confined to an unhealthy diet, isn't permitted exercise, etc.  You can see for yourself, via this image smuggled out at great risk....

D: But wasn't the one who did the Film of Advent Children the same who help out to make FF7?

[Captn' Red]

Hell no... Its by Tetsuya Nomura.

The chracter designer of FFVII.
