E3 2009: Seven minutes of Final Fantasy XIII story and gameplay

Here's another big one from E3 and Square Enix: it's a seven-minute video of Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360) - packed full of story elements and gameplay clips into one - complete with English subs. Although parts have already been seen from assets previously released, nothing beats a good video that has it all. I hope you're comfy in your chair 'cause this one's a real treat.


The battle system's really growing on me. The multiple gauges, the seemless transition, and it all seems pretty active and free-flowing to some extent. Well, I bet you don't need this writer's babble, so just keep on watchin!

i like final fantasy just as much as the next guy but i feel like every new one is just more over the top then the last. and the character models get dumber every time. i miss the old style of regular looking characters doing semi-believable things and not on flying trains with no shirt on and summoning motorcycles.

» versus?

Do you think Versus is gonna be more popular than XIII itself?

» ehh..

In terms of sales, prrrrobably no. It'll for sure fly off the shelves in Japan though. But in terms of enjoyability, there's a chance. I liked KH a lot, so this one's very promising. Now, if Sony does the whole price cut and PS3 Slim 1-2 punch, then sales will be massive by the time it comes out.
