Title: Final Fantasy XIII- coming soon
Post by: Colonol Dekker on March 01, 2010, 02:32:40 pm
I just saw my first tv ad for Final Fantasy XIII.
 
 
I can't wait for it :D I loved ten and that one with the Archadian empire. . . . . This looks to be on par if not better.

Oh yes. I am indeed unreasonably excited about that game.

For those of us with absolutely no knowledge of this particular game, how about posting up a YouTube of a trailer of some kind?

Trailers for JRPGs have never been noted for their coherency.

Coherency.
Who needs it anyway. I want a level 99 Aeon style super unit smashing the smeg out of a screen fullk of enemies.

I'd be excited x 100 if I had a system to play the damn game.

It's out, and it's awesome. The designation "RPG" is increasingly inaccurate, but still. It's awesome.

The last Final Fantasy I played had Cecil in it.

/me is out in the bush and can't buy it. :(

On the bright side, when I get back I'll have the money to make the purchase so that's nice.

last one I played was the DS version of FFIV (which was awesome...) Never played the PS2 games, even though I had multiple opportunities to do so.

I dunno. These days the FF games seem shorter and are more flashy but don't really bring an improvement storywise or even gameplay-wise. Then again, I haven't played XII and I've heard good things from it.

I did like the trailer, though something about the lip sync bothered me when Lightning's mouth kinda said "Lightning-a."

I've had the (dis)pleasure of playing the first little bit of this on my bro's xBox, and i have 2 thoughts.

The narrative changes protagonists too quickly.  After 3 hours, I've come to the conclusion that Lightning is a self-absorbed *****, Snow narcissitic(sp?) bastard and Hope is so emo he can't even form a proper sentence.

The ATB system is too fast, granted I don't have that magic yet, but neither is my team particularly resilient, I'm spamming pots just to keep from getting run over.  I'll take one order of Turn Based plz.
