Dunno about you fellas, but I can't wait for this.

I think it's Masashi Hamauzu, the other notable OST he made Dirge of Cerberus, Unlimited saga, FFX, etc.

Yes...that is very true...in fact i'm still a bit irritated at FFXIII trailers to begin w/, we keep getting the same overall trailer w/ some extra scenes of hot women (which i'm not complaining..mmm Lightning and that reddish haired girl) and no gameplay...none...*grumbles*
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy
Post by: Acid on December 12, 2008, 11:37:18 PM
Unlimited saga, FFX, etc.

This pleases me. Especially Unlimited SaGa. The gameplay was ass (for me) but the music was eargasmic.
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy

The 3 games have no relation to each other so it's not really a trilogy as much as it is a Triad.
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy
Post by: Align on December 12, 2008, 11:46:39 PM
It's out of range for me, what with PS3 only. Not sure I'd buy it anyway, but...

Interesting that they acknowledge damage deflection. I guess, with more realistic characters, having attacks connect with no real effect looked much too weird.
(I'm referring to that shimmering effect when they were in combat, in case that wasn't clear)
Perhaps HPs even have a story behind them now?

If you wanna split hairs then... It's "Final Fantasy: Project Fabula Nova Crystallis". But meh that's too long.

Pretty as Acid said.  It is something similar to the whole cashcow (but some games pleased us anyway) that is Compilation of FF7.

As for Unlimited Saga...I want to play it >:, can't find copies in any stores and I also want to play Romancing Saga, god the soundtrack is wonderful<3 even the last 3 battles~, and that one battle, that uses acoustic guitars and a wicked AAAAAAH to it<3

XIII is set for 09. with the 360 version supposedly set for 2010.

 VXIII and  Agito are unknown.

Ironic because the VXIII staff is AHEAD of the FF XIII staff to the point that some of their people are helping the idiots out. And they STILL have KHs: BbS to work on.

Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy
Post by: Setsuna F. Seiei on December 13, 2008, 06:01:50 AM
More like it was a subtle confirmation. XIII isn't out till Q3-4 09, and it was already stated months ago that production of the 360 version wouldn't start untill after they were done with the PS3 version.

And Versus XIII will get a 360 release. They're just waiting for now to calm the sony [Top Spin]s.
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy

Sonyfags complain about their stolen games as if the developer somhow owes it to them, 360fags complain about NOT getting said stolen games, and Wiiaboos complain about not getting EITHER of said games.  Can't people just realize that all 3 are inferior to the Virtual Boy?

OK guys, honestly, I know next to nothing about Final Fantasy, but this game is really piquing my interest now. I think it has something to do with the art. I'm a sucker for visual aesthetics. Inb4 "Jelly, give me your gaming jacket and badge!" '>.>

Also, to get to a more important note, it would seem the game is getting really close to completion as the Official Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII site (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/fabula/) has just opened.

P.S. The music will make you... JIZZ. IN. YOUR. PANTS.

If you move your cursor above the button for each game you will hear that it's the old FF cursor sound. Just got some face lifting.

You know, Noctis' motorized swords are dumb as hell. But I'm still looking forward to seeing them in action.

Well, I personally am more hyped for Versus too. I wonder how 'dark' it will be (It's supposed to be the drakest FF yet, according to SE).

Agito? That's the PSP game. Originally for Cellphones, now coming to PSP only. What an Agito is? No idea.

Oh no doubt, Versus is gonna be the [parasitic bomb]. I mean... look at the MC. He's so cool and attractive. :3

I'd let him "stab" me with his "sword" if you catch my drift.

But Agito still looks interesting. It looks like a worthy addition to the PSP library. Also... Agito is latin for "to put in motion." I do believe.
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy
Post by: Acid on January 11, 2009, 03:30:45 PM
That means it's probably chronologically the first of the three. If they're connected at all. Which I doubt.

The protagonist of Versus is supposed to be an arrogant [dark hold], and rather be the opposite of his depressive looking design.

FFv13 only a VERY loosely description.

Well there's two of them, but what about the last one (or has nothing even been said about it yet)? I haven't been paying attention at all about FF13. All I know is that one of them is coming on the 360, and the lead character in one of them is a chick. What's the combat system like though? Are they going to have real time field, real time encounter, active time battle, what?
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy
Post by: Acid on January 17, 2009, 01:01:00 AM
FF13: The one with the chick
PS3 exclusive in Japan, Xbox360 port + PS3 version everywhere else.

Combat system is similar to what Xenogears had. Each character has an AP (action points) bar, and each action consumes AP. A character can act until all AP are gone.

FF Versus 13:
PS3 only, world wide
I supposed to have real time combat. If I remember correctly, something like KIngdom Heart, just overall improved.

FF Agito 13:
Former Cellphone game, now PSP
Only game with known gameplay scenes yet. Seems to be similar to the Crisis Core system.

"Yoichi" Wada? Funny, that's the first name of my technical rival on a Persona 3 roleplay over at RPGRPGRevolution (i'm Hunter EX). Wonder if this delay and me noticing the name is an omen...

Anywho, it doesn't bother me that much, as i've.. Well, kinda fallen out with the FF series. 12 wasn't all that great IMHO, 10 egged on after awhile, I only got so (shortly) far with 9, haven't played 8, and 7 didn't entice me. 6 got me stuck on that damn mountain near the beginning of the game (when you have Terra, Locke, and that third guy..), and on 5 I stopped playing after losing interest. I don't think 13 will be the magic number to bring me back, either.  :\

I heard about the 360  version.  Microsoft gloated about it before I think. Either way when they announced it they had not begun work on a 360 version. It is not known when the 360 version will come out last time I checked. Granted, that was awhile ago. Also, the one I am most interested in is Versus XIII. Seems awesome, although I know very little about it other than it is an action RPG.

Also, the black guy is awesome.

For those who care:

FF13 is around 90% complete (PS3) and might hit Europe AND America in spring 2010. Xbox Version is around 70% complete.
The game won't feature multiple languages, but instead it will be fully lip synched.

This price tag better be worth it (However, in the states it would cost around 20 - 40 dollars, about the average game price), I know your stunt Squeenix. And your fancy pre-order bonus? nah. About as dissapointing as Dissadia's pre-order calendar bonus.

Was about time they showed some Versus material. Sadly, it's not gameplay.

Posted on: September 25, 2009, 04:02:24 AM
Well in case someone else than me has been waiting for gameplay on Versus... we'll have to wait some more.

Till next year's E3 to be precise... and that only if we're lucky:

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176584

Quote
Fans expecting to learn more about Final Fantasy Versus XIII at the Tokyo Game Show last month were likely a bit disappointed to see a tiny trailer that we called "abysmal" in our coverage.

"That wasn't development stuff, but a technical demo reel of sorts," director Tetsuya Nomura explained in this week's issue of Famitsu magazine. "The Venetian cityscape won't be in the game. We hurriedly put together a video because we wanted people be assured that Versus is also still under development."

Makes sense, we suppose. So can we expect anything from that trailer -- the forest, for example -- to show up in the final Versus? "There will be more natural scenery than FFXIII, I think," Nomura replied, "but the field map, as the video itself said, was made in only two weeks, so it won't be like that in the final game. The monsters in the video don't even have textures applied to them."

Hmm. Well, what about gameplay? Will the action be an extension on Kingdom Hearts' play system, as has been suggested elsewhere? "It will fall close to that category, but we're aiming for a fusion of new features with the classic FF style. We see level design as the most important part of development here, but it'll be a while before we can show any of that."

All right. When will we get to see more, then? "We'll gradually unveil it starting next year, at E3 if we're quick enough," Nomura closed.

It looks to me like the majority of the people who are upset are the hardcore RPG crowd.  Yeah there is a lot of changes, but I hope it will still be an enjoyable experiance none the less ^^

Speaking of experiance, there is none, that I've seen so far anyway.  It looks like you only level up your weapons.  Also everyone talking about how linear the game is and showing maps of jus straight line areas made me think of FFX, and thats not too far from what it turns out to be.  I'm still only in the first area but it reminds me so much of the first area from X.

The thing I'm most happy about though is that the pretty violin music they always played in the trailer is the normal battle music so you can hear it a lot, all though the battles usually finish before the good part starts >w<

That's good to know. I thought it would be complicated judging from trailer.

But when they say linear, it's the map only right? There must be some kind of... sidequest?

Well, that's what people are saying.  People DO like to exaggerate, especially since it's more fun for them to say somethings failed in some way.  I'm still in the first area but I'm guessing it'll probably work like FFX did, basically keep moving forward.  There might be a way to go back or do side quests but I'm still not far enough. 

People also keep saying there are really no towns or anything and all shopping is done through the save point.  You also don't seem to get gil from enemies again in this one (I've only found some from treasure chests treasure floating spinning orbs) and I guess you sell the spoils for extra money (I think you also use some of them to level up the weapons).  All the shop has for me right now are Potions and Pheonix Downs though, and it seems like everything will be very expensive (which is another complaint I've heard)

So basically, you need to grind for materials then? I love that.

Do enemies spawn?

At the point I wouldn't be able to grind, but maybe.  The enemies show up on the "field" but it's not like you can sneak past them.  So far it looks like (and I've heard) all the battles you are forced into, and I haven't seen any of the enemies I've beaten "respawn" or anything but maybe that happens later ^^

i don't see why everyone is complaining, FF has always been easy.. mash confirm until everything is dead.

and 12 made it so you didn't even need to mash confirm.

In a situation like this, you're REALLY better off not listening to the internet for opinions on things, save for folks you can trust.

It only sucks because it was hyped to all hell for so long. I've seen bitching about the game for even the smallest details. It's like people were expecting this to renew the franchise in some way even though they should know better than to expect that when it was never going to do that.

It's funny too.  My one friend is kinda looking forward to it, but he loved 12 so much that he's afraid he won't like the new system as much.

Oh the new battlesystem is getting good reviews only. The game hard from what I heard.

I basically only knew it was called FFXIII and watched 2 or so trailers, that's it.  Maybe thats why I'm enjoying it as I didn't really know what to expect ^^  I'm something like 15-20 hours into it and still really enjoying it.  It's not all that hard, the battles are starting to take longer but I think it's cause I'm doing something wrong/not really leveling up weapons/accesories much o.o

That's pretty much me as well aside from trailers and small gameplay glimpses.  Experiencing the game for myself is always the best way I can say anything.  Which leads to why i'm not bitchy on most/all of the games I play.

How's the final boss music?

I knew someone was going to ask that x3
Honestly I can't even really remember it, jus orchestrated type stuff, not bad but not really memorable
To me anyway ^^

I do miss the synth/organ type last boss music that even X had though

That's a bummer. Did any sidequests yet? Optional bosses?

Are some of the traditional bossfights back (Ultima/Omega Weapon)?

I've only done a few optional things, and I think there is more that unlocks when you save the clear data, I'll have to get back to you on that one~
As for Ultima/Omega... er... It's not big spoilers but I'll tag it anyway

[spoiler]Ultima and Omega Weapon are the names of Lightnings 2nd and 1st most powerful weapons, I have no idea if they are bosses but one of the optional sidequest things are "missions" to fight harder enemies, so they could one of those ^^  There's also regular enemies that kinda look like them so I really wouldn't doubt it[/spoiler]

Hmmm I see. Let me know if you come across some major optional boss.

Aww sucks! kinda like the boss battle then. I still love the normal battle theme so much though.

oh BTW how long is the gameplay?
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy
Post by: CephiYumi on December 30, 2009, 02:21:10 AM
I finished it at around 70 hours, but I did leave it on a couple times and leveled up a bit, and some very light optional stuff so probably somewhere around 50-60 hours ^^
Title: Re: FF13 Trilogy

Tetsuya Nomura was interviewed by Famitsu this week about Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. He was also asked about the progress of future projects he was working on. Concerning Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Nomura said that "development is going well, however there is still more to be done".

"From the beginning, the character presentation on the world map was similar to FF* (the magazine has intentionally censored the asterisk parts), where you would see a very small Noctis running around. It was somewhat lacking and so it was altered to be more like FF*’s system.

* denotes a censored number by Famitsu"

Because of these alterations, Nomura is unsure whether it will be ready for this years E3 like he said back in October. He says he has to balance development with other titles he's working on and is currently discussing how they will proceed with producers.

Well, damn.

I've only seen my friend play a bit of it. It was enough to convince me to want to get it, though. Anyway, from what I can tell of Sazh, he isn't that kind of character.

What do you think of the battle system? From what I saw, it's like a combination between the old ATB system and XII's battle system.
Title: Re: FF13
Post by: Acid on March 16, 2010, 09:48:19 PM
It's more like a mix of the systems of X-2 and FF12.

FFX-2 did use the old ATB system. Difference is that the characters moved around, like in Grandia games.
Title: Re: FF13
Post by: Acid on March 16, 2010, 10:59:21 PM
It was a very fast ATB system that didn't wait for other characters to finish their attacks before the next one starts. That's what FF13's system is. Plus two AI characters.
