[Multiplatform] Official Final Fantasy XIII Thread

The blonde beanie biker boy's name is Snow Villiers, apparently.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Shouldn't that be Snow Virriers?

Are romanisations mix-and-match?

Virriers, Villiers, Virriels, Villiels, whateverthefuck.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm actually far more excited for this game after seeing this dandy motherfucker.

Seriously. I can only see two three four belts.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If anything the game sounding like a fusion of FFVI, CT and Xenogears

Fuck yes you are going to be the greatest Square Enix game OF ALL TIME.

Okay, maybe not quite that far, but still, this looks so much more interesting than the previous few installments. I've yet to have my attention caught by a single JRPG this generation, so I suppose it only makes sense that what's probably the most hotly-anticipated one manages to get me interested.

Oh, yeah, and for once I don't actually mind the character design much.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha fuck Sazh has the BEST VOICE.

How ya doing, buddy?

Probably not, but it feasibly could be implemented on the PS3 version considering all the space they have to work with.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So I take it that from now on we're getting disastrously awful American-style boxart. Fabulous!



Left: Shit. Right: Classy. I guess today's game-buyers need LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON no matter where in the world they are. Also, Lightning sure looks disapproving of the tiny logo being shoehorned in there. And her crotch is rated 16+.

FELIPE NO

The whole logo+text+white background is generally pretty uninteresting, but at the very least, it's not a total affront to the eyes unlike most of the American boxart for the series. FFXII's US cover got it right, though:



FFXIII's is just a character sitting on a gradient doing not much. It doesn't really offer any hints as to what the hell kind of game it is. Maybe fewer people are aware of the franchise these days, so they have to make the art more interesting (but not to the point where they have to cover the box in tits and explosions).

/sperg

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The PS1 games had horrible 90s CG art, but considering IX was the only one that wasn't diabolical, I don't really have much to complain about.

The American boxart for the DS games goes the simple route, though, which is nice.

Most amazing jew boots

I have opinions about boxart please argue some more.

Honestly, the only thing that I really dislike about the cover is the miniscule logo floating around in the corner. Shit's fine otherwise.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Any details on this special edition? None of the sites I check have anything.

edit: Never mind, found a source.
