[Multiplatform] Official Final Fantasy XIII Thread

Man, those graphics are impressive. But 3 titles already announced for 13, that's rather overkill. This pretty much throws out all my excitement for 12. May as well just save up for the PS3 and the two 13 titles for it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I doubt if realtime.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I sorely hope that the one battle screenshot was real-time, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out that it's not. Hey, you've gotta have something to keep you hoping.

I'm pretty surprised that Square's already going out on a limb and shoving out a prequel and a sequel before the game's even come out. I'm not sure what to make of it at the moment, especially since we know nothing at all about the plot.

FELIPE NO

According IGN and people who were actually there it's realtime.

Here is the Staff List(credits go to Teido Boy for finding them.

It's actually just FFXIII. And judging from the looks of things, well, holy crap. Some of those things don't even look real-time.

Quote:

Not a merely a sequel, but a wholly independent story unfolding in a different world with different characters. This title will appear alongside FINAL FANTASY XIII on the PlayStation 3 system.

...So Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a sequel... But not a direct sequel?

Say what?

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

probably like FFXII is with FF tactic advance, same world but totally different story (but huh? they say different world ... I doN,t know >.>)

some things don't look real time ?? but what looks realtime ? i don't see anything realtime here

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

yeah I'm wrong but is not look on realtime action,is by command and when choosing action will show action like on trailer.is there one agree with me

How ya doing, buddy?

Looks like some sort of action-oriented minigame to me. I doubt the main game would have the displays/menus shown here.

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

So, what's FF12 anyway?

This is a pretty poor move if they want people to still give a damn about FF12 over here in the states... I suppose this announcement was more geared towards the Japanese, but still... My mind is working overtime on what FF13 could be and at this moment I couldn't care less about 12.

Either way... Should be interesting to see what they can pull off with this clearly action-oriented sequel.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nice, the thanks for the link RYU. Definitely appears to be real time, also looks like the new heroine has some sort of power to stop time. Unless that was a magic skill from the battle.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ryu u fuckin rock man ,specially when it comes to getting trailers.

Thanks

I assumed that it was just Stop, y'know?

I was thinking that too, but doesn't Stop normally affect just a one enemy? Unless it's a new thing they're doing, where magic affects the whole battle field/screen...

Most amazing jew boots

It could be a powered-up Stop, like Stopra or Stopga. Who knows?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think that greenry place is in realtime.

FELIPE NO

I can't wait to see more of this game. I'm crazy excited right now. The only thing that will get me more excited is seeing the next GTA.

Don't lith it up. Please.

On the other hand, that FFXIII pic, the one in your sig, the girl (or man, I mean it's Tetsuya Nomura) in it's pose reminds me a lot of Tifa in AC when Loz throws her up against that wall high up in the church.

Wow, that's a helluva mouthful.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Final Fantasy XIII --> main game
Final Fantasy Versus XIII --> "sequel in spirit" to FFXIII

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

okay... wtf, a sequel already and the game hasn't been released yet, I got excited when i saw the screenshots of the girl and the dude with the blue hair, but now i'm kinda disappointed that Square-Enix is making 2 games under the FFXIII name just to make money... They can probably fit both games in one dual layer blu-ray anyway...

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

I think battle will be like FFX-2
