ScrewAttack's coverage of FFXIII

ScrewAttack did a kind of sneak peek at Final Fantasy XIII, currently it looks really good - especially with the gameplay.

DISCUSS.

Meh.

Final Fantasy isn't really even that interesting to me anymore... 12 was an utter disappointment considering the wait and 13 doesn't even look like a Final Fantasy game anymore.

Square should create a new franchise or something? And yes I am aware of it's other ones, but they're all getting a bit stale.

Also, could they please make GUYS look like GUYS for freaking once!

Theres at least 1 manly man in each game xD.
And some of their one-shot games could be turned into decent franchises.

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 14/06/09, 07:25 pm

Yeah, I know there's usually one guy... Maybe. But 12 never had one, neither did 8 for that matter XD

I'd like to see a sequel to Project Sylpheed for example!

I want to see a World Ends With You sequel.
They really should drop the name Final Fantasy from their games.
It creates a lot of expectation to have the game a certain way.

The video shows off some nice gameplay, in my opinion.
The battle system seems promising, and the afro guy has a CHOCOBO IN HIS 'FRO.

It does seem pretty cool. But a lot of people hate it when they change Final Fantasy.

(@DB - XII pretty much WAS a pre/sequel all by itself.)

I am looking forward to the Fabula Nova Crystallis a LOT myself. >D

I've been following it real closely and I'm glad to see that they're bringing back manly men, decent clothing, surnames and chocobos (they sort of slipped on these a bit after IX/X imho). XII wasn't that good, unfortunately... there were quite a few things they could've done better on that one.

I saw the long demo and it was good. Gameplay looks great, graphics look great. Storylines look great (as far as I've read of them), dubbing currently sounding real good! (the real dub, not the IGN or VAA crack/fandubs). List of composers looks great!

Final Fantasy XIII - hiring back Nobuo Uematsu (not even retirement could stop him from an offer like this, haha)
Final Fantasy Versus XIII - Yoko Shimomura
Final Fantasy Agito XIII - Takeharu Ishimoto

Okay I'll stop now.

Old video is old.

Sahz (guy with the afro) is kinda cool. He gets the most lines and his image is based on Lionel Richie :).

Lightning's character design is a female version of Cloud officially ;D

And Maqui's outfit is based off a Snowboarder's outfit. Which I think is damn cool. <3

Balthier and Basch were both pretty manly, and they were arguably more important than Vaan in FFXII.

And Tidus wasn't too girly, in terms of appearance. Though I could say differently about his personality...

By Keysha-chan. 18/06/09, 02:43 am

@ Pyro - heck, ALL of them were more important than Vann. He was the most dull lead character I've ever come across.

Also, am I the only one who wants a final fantasy that's more...well...traditional fantasy? I loved 9 and 10 because of that, but could never get into 7, and 13 looks to be the same right now. :<

By sweet georgia brown. 18/06/09, 10:57 am

dude, if you want traditional fantasy you might as well go and play the myriad of non-ff rpgs out there. fantasy rpgs are hardly a neglected genre, yeah?

i like ff for the exact reason that some of them aren't actually generic fantasy.

laguna pretty damn manly.
