[Multiplatform] Official Final Fantasy XIII Thread

Dear lord I am loling so hard over here lurker, where on earth did you find that?

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

I was wondering the same thing... lol for a moment I even thought he drew that >....<

Jam it back in, in the dark.

4chan; it's more than just child porn!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually, the realtime footage doesn't seem to start until you see the menus during the combat sequence at the 0:48 mark and goes back to being CG at the 0:57 mark. If you look closely, everything looks polished and shiny up until it starts showing you the sequence with the battle menus, and suddenly all that glow seems to disappear... the colors no longer pop and everything looks flat. Then it goes back to looking very polished again. Watch the video again and you'll see what I mean. It's still impressive though... the animation quality is unreal.

I can see why the game probably won't ever see the light of day on 360 though. The amount of CG they're probably putting into this game would need a Blu-Ray disc. I have to say, I like that the lead character is actually female and not a guy doing a half-assed job of trying to look like a female without the rack. I still need a bit more convincing before I throw down cash on a PS3 just yet, but we're getting there!

That's not even Disney, that's definitely Daffy Duck. SE-WB cross over to come?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Why does Dark(one)wing (Angel) Duck not have a keyblade?! I thought that was a given. (keyblade = cool) That's why Mickey's so badass. Speaking of which...

Even our beloved Disney characters. The bastards...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Jokes aside. Here's more news reported from the Jump Festa Convention which occured this weekend. Thanks to finalfantasy-xiii.net's Dante. Here's the trailer impressions.

XIII

- Trailer features a new song
- The train scene from the E3 2006 and Cloud DVD is extended
- The camera turns to the blond man and the trailer is viewing him as summoning Shiva
- The pigtailed girl from the TGS 2007 trailer is also seen in this trailer. She has green eyes
- Cocoon is possibly 13 centuries old or was maybe built in the 13th century, the translation is unclear.
- Another woman appears in the trailer who is described as not looking human. She uses a harp and the descriptions sounds like she could be another summon, possibly Siren.
- After the Final Fantasy XIII logo appears, an "Only for Playstation 3" message is displayed

Versus XIII
The Radio conversation in The Prince's car (cut from the CLOUD DVD trailer) speaks of an ending cold war.
The Prince sees the "Skirt Girl". [See characters page]
"Large" men in black suits are sat around a long table in a "Silver Cathedral" discussing the cold war/current events. (?)
The "Staircase" fight scene from previous trailers is shown. When The Prince walks back inside (At the end of the CLOUD DVD Trailer) he is "ambushed" by the White Cloaked man.
The city changes to daytime in which it seems more medieval (?)
The "Skirt Girl", who seems to be the heroine, is seen having a conversation with The Shotgun Guy while walking down the street.
After their brief conversation the two new characters appear. One of them is rather large (Kanae refers his size to "Mr. 33cm" from Final Fantasy XIII) and another who is dressed much like one of the Turks from Final Fantasy VII.
The Shotgun Guy laughs mockingly at them. (?)
The Prince's car is shown driving through the "wilderness"? Perhaps the baron desert area Nomura has spoken of.

All the characters appear to be in the car with The Prince.
A continuation of the "White Robed Man" confrontation scene.
The long table discussion scene is also continued to show another man entering, causing everyone in the room to look over and stop talking (?)
The scene of The Prince fighting the soldiers is continued.
A building is destroyed (?) reminds Kanae of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
A scene between the Skirt Girl and The Prince is shown. Kanae is not sure if they behave like best friends or lovers.
Blue and Red symbols appear behind The Prince and the Skirt Girl respectively.
They look angry at each other, the Skirt Girl unsheathes a sword, the camera pans to her face to show her purple eyes and the Final Fantasy Versus XIII logo is shown, along with a Shakespeare quote shortly after.

Apparently, the website he linked to (Ruliweb, a Koren Video-site apparently) contained some artwork for Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII.

Here's what was posted:

Spoiler:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I saw the artwork, but since I a.) couldn't read anything in the article and b.) nothing was posted here, I couldn't make anything out of it. We're just seeing some new characters then, I take it?

Well, the first image looks like the emo kid from Versus XIII, and the second-to-bottom picture's the guy who summoned Shiva in the XIII trailer. So really, the only new guy is in photo #2.

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

Here's more on FFXIII

Spoiler:

^ for those that couldn't see the broken image files.

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

I love the art. Reminds me of FFVIII which is my 2nd favorite final fantasy game.

He kind of looks like Seifer, and damn it they should just remake FFVIII.

I'd be all for an FFVIII remake, too - the graphic style would really benefit from an upgrade, plus we'd get an expanded Triple Triad hopefully without that whole random element added late game. The way Square's operating these days they'll probably get around to it sometime after an FFV compilation and the FFVI Palm Pilot-only sequel.

And Captain Codpiece in the second pic must be one of the foot soldiers from the trailer. Looks a lot more sci-fi-ish all around, which could be really cool.

True he may look like Seifer. But his attitude is not Seifer's. Because in the trailer he shows more of a "happy-go-lucky" attitude and that he seems to not take things seriously at times.

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

you can tell all that by only seeing him for like 2sec? wow you're good ...

Looks happy to me, plus Seifer wasn't all serious like Squall was. Besides I'm just saying he looks him, I dont know anything about this new character in XIII, I mean he just makes a 2 or 3 second appearance in the trailer.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That second picture isn't so much happy-go-lucky-lol style as it is "Mwahaha I shall kill you" style. But yeah Seifer wasn't exactly the most badass guy around. This new guy looks jolly, that's for sure.

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

I dunno. You guys may be right. But from my POV, the new blonde male in XIII doesn't seem to be a bad guy. Well, Wikipedia gave him off as a "happy-go-lucky" character which he had this funny way of attacking his enemies.

Like we may have another "Cloud" in XIII in the form of the new guy. As compared to having another "Seifer".

And about you guys saying that I knew within those final 2 seconds. When I've seen the KH: Birth by Sleep. I was already betting that he [the sorcerer in the trailer] would probably be the game's antagonist

since this new guys is kind of coming to the rescue of lightning, it's pretty easy to see that he's not the bad guy >.>

and lol! come one! anybody who didn't saw in that video that this guys was the new bad guy, must have been blind or something. He almost killed one of the 3 "hero", if that's not hinting that he's bad than I don't know what it is...

anyway the only thing we know about that new blond guy is he's called for now Mr.33cm if I'm not mistaken and that he's riding shiva motorcycle...

so let's just wait and see >.>

No way... Here I was thinking he was the good guy and the others were the bad guy for attacking an old man. Thanks for ruining the game for me, now I'm not even gonna play it, how about that?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

improperly used sarcasm deserves a ban from playing it anyways

For some reason he reminded me of Zell. But now, also Seifer.
