Big batch of gameplay vids from Final Fantasy XIII demo |
Ó
Here we have - yes, lemme spell it out for you - F-I-V-E, five videos mapping out parts of the first few minutes of the demo: from the intro, to seamless battles, cut scenes of cinematic quality, gorgeous music, lots of explosions, aaand a robotic behemoth boss.
Pretty much most of what we've seen in screenshots, scans, and trailers for the past two years can be seen here. Good stuff, good stuff.
So what is it with Square Enix and scorpion-like first bosses? This reminds me of FF7's Guard Scorpion.

well the first one did but that was CGI. The second one looked good considering it was gameplay. She kinda looks like she is just wearing a helmet when your zoomed out though.
Also apparently like Last Remnant your party always heals after battle. If you look after each battle the HP is always the same.
The gun for some weird reason does like no damage, doing only 6 or 7 damage each shot. Looks like its just to keep the chain going.
And the final clip, no idea why but two of your party has ??? health even though it doesn't seem to matter since the only one he attacks is the guy with HP. Also don't seem to be able to control the ??? HP guys.
I just got excited again for this game. I had my doubts, but now I'm psyched.
I wish they would just localize the PS3 version first and release it as a sort of timed exclusive outside of Japan. I hate having to wait longer for a game I've been anticipating for years because SquareEnix decided at the last second to make a 360 version as well.
Especially since the 360 version isn't going to be as good as the PS3 version.
How many cds is the 360 version gonna have?
Becuase every FF game releases first in Japan and then NA and Europe many months (sometimes even years) later.
If this game was still a PS3 exclusive, we would STILL have to wait a long time after the game is released in Japan before we get the English language version (look back at previous FF games and forums were full of gamers complaining about the long wait).
Also, SquareEnix may have announced it late, but I doubt the 360 version was a last minute decision. The game is running on a multi-format game engine called Crystal Tools (previously known as the White Engine), so I think this has been in the works for a long time.
One interesting point, because it's running on a multi-format game engine, porting the game to 360 would be relatively easy. So since it would have been delayed for multi-language support anyway, the 360 may not add much, if anything, to the overall delay for NA and Europe.
Let's see what happens.
i didn't know that the battle system was turn based. I was kinda hoping they would go realtime kinda like in Kingdom Hearts...
Squenix themselves said that they wouldn't even start work on the 360 version until the PS3 was done so that tells you it will definitely add to the delay, I wish they would just release the PS3 version once it's done and then work on the 360 version, I don't see the point in making PS3 owners wait if the games already done
I think they said Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be more like Kingdom Hearts
The game engine is up and running on PS3, 360 and PC, so porting the game from PS3 to 360 (or PC if they wanted to) is not a problem. The game is not being written from scratch for the 360 (THAT would be a problem).
It's no different than the Unreal Engine on 360, PS3 or PC. Although it will not happen, how long do you think it would take EPIC to port Gears of War 2 to PS3 if they wanted to? I bet they can have it up and running on PS3 in weeks, and after that they'll be optimizing it for ideal performance. That's the advantage of using a multi-format game engine.
"I don't see the point in making PS3 owners wait if the games already done"
But the game will not be done until the English voice work and subtitles are done, and that's what has always delayed the FF games for everywhere outside of Japan.
The 360 might add a little more to the delay, it might not, but the delay would have still existed if FFXIII was still a PS3 exclusive.
Versus is fully real time, and is being made by many of the team members that mad KH. It is still stated as being a PS3 exclusive, but no real clues have been given as to a release date.
about 2 weeks ago they finished making the main characters clothing. Soooo um whats that 51% since 50% is story and then you have clothing. I think would come first since you can't start on producing the game without the main character.
It's going to be way better than FFXIII imo though since it's created by the team that made KH which was an awesome game.
i got star ocean and its 3 discs i installed it on the hard drive and it runs fast. Lost odessy is 4 discs and it runs pretty kick but it does get a little annoying when i have to get up and change the disc to continue the cutscene. Im getting this on the ps3 cause it needs some luv but tekken 6 is gonna be on my 360.
The ??? HP characters are probably characters who didn't get introduced too well in the story at that time, thus they can't die at that point. A lot of possibilities but meh.
I honestly think I'll just get FF VS 13. It's because of the tone and real-time combat. I had a blast with KH when I was younger back in 02, so it'll definitely remind me of that. Just my humble opinion.
They made the black guy goffy. :-( .With a bird in his hair. a reference 2 a Coo Koo 's nest .having crazy hair and they call RE 5 racist? I'm not one of those ppl who gets upset or cries or anything I just hope he's a cool character you don't see too many Black ppl playing cool roles in any asain stuff. DBZ , Naruto ,Bleach , The should"ve made him like Auron .but hes more like wakka who wasnt bad either.y r ppl talking about 360 here? right now its exclusive .game talk not console wars maybe they'll make it 4 the 360 after everyone's beat it all ready and then prolly charge out the azzz 4 it. coporate dogs
"y r ppl talking about 360 here? right now its exclusive"
Where have you been hiding? FFXIII is coming to both PS3 and 360 (announced last year at E3). It's not a PS3 exclusive anymore. FFXIII-versus is a PS3 exclusive.
