Hmm

What's with all those strange names and apostrophes and unconventional capitalization in their names... Starting to warm over the battle system btw. Loving it. ^_^

Hmmm

So this is coming out to the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in US? Those graphics (in and out of fights) are pretty much on par with Uncharted 2 (prolly a lil behind killzone). Makes you wonder how the port to xbox will work. 5 dvd9 (old school style, i remember FF8 took like 3 or 4 CD) or Down scale all the graphics to 480p, and cut the sound quality down as well. Then try to fit it on 2 dvd9. Either way the game looks amazing and I am glad its a PS3 first, then port to xbox, I finally feel like I will get to play a game that isnt a red headed step child.

Looks like I great treated to more than a snow day

That was just, um... Just Wow. Absolutely Amazing IMO I don't think gameplay will be the problem with this game because it looks like they've got it locked down. Now all that I'm worried about is if the storyline will be as high quality as that gameplay if not more. Really all I need are some good original characters for me to care about, not just some cookie cutter heroes and heroines that you'll never remember once you turn your game system off. Even though games like 6,7, and 4 had some good characters, I just wasn't really as hooked to those characters as I was to Tidus and the gang from 10 (Probably cause I'm a youngin' who's a sucker for voice acting XD ), and because of that it was like I was in a completely different world when I played it, which was awesome for a video game. If they can get me as hooked into the game as Final Fantasy 10 then I'm good. Well first I'd need a PS3/360 but WHEN I GET ONE! *Raises fist in anger* This looks so awesome. I'm glad they didn't stick with the FF12 system. It looks like they took the old formula and added some new twists to it in a working way, which I like. I have really high hopes for this game.

Could someone please

push my jaw back up into the closed postion???? "\('o')/" Wow that was amazing.

it was good

but i wasnt blown away. Im sure its better than 12. but i doubt 1-10. the series has lost its feel. Im not hating, i love FF more than anyone, im just not a fan of the direction the series has taken. it just needs to stop trying to be star wars.

It was better than good

This has definately renewed my interest in the FF series. 10 was great, played 12 but didn't enjoy it enough to finish it. But this is definately getting me itching for more.

That's still called; "hating" And it was better than good as dragg0n said. The movie-to-battle transition was just flawless. FFXIII + FLAWLESS...VICTORY! XD :P

yep.

your my hero. FFX is my favorite game of all time, i have the soundtrack , i think its the best story ever told, i think it has the best battle system ever and the sphere grid is amazing.. this could be just because i was 10 when i played it though...but i play it still at least once a year, cant help it, its got such high replay value... im really looking forward to this though, cant wait. this will be my FFX while versus is my kingdom hearts/devil may cry

Uh, all those gameplay comments...

What the hell, we barely even saw any! All we saw was a bunch of moves being pulled on the guys in a fight, we still don't have a clue how the battle system works at all! It could be another XII for all we know. They've shown the fastest-paced bits of the battles and because of that we still don't know anything! I'm still reserving judgement on whether to buy this game or not until I know properly how the battles are going to work.

I'm not digging the whole star wars vibe either, but I'm still excited for it, hope it comes out fairly early in 10

...

This trailer showed more depth of the game than all the others combined, and made me more excited for XIII (if that's possible). Not just the same clips rearranged like the other trailers were. Hopefully XIII is more on par quality-wise with Final Fantasies Pre-XI.

umm

although killzone 2 graphics looks super amazing I must say uncharted 2 will look much better, you cant even compare it yet since uncharted isnt even completed.

ya....

I'm with you here. I am a huge FF fan, moreso of the ones before 7 and I still am not sure what to think of this. The trailer showed alot more than previous ones, but it's still not alot (especially gameplay wise). I am wondering how you move through the environment, what do the menus look like....how is the transition from selecting your move and then executing it..... With Squenix's current track record on 360 and PS3, I too will be waiting for a review or at least ALOT more gameplay videos before I decide on it.

oooh

i thought i was the only one that thought like that heh, i guess not, ur completely right. :) hmmmthis game reminds me of ff12 tho, i can't stand all dat machinery, sure gameplay is different then it, but thats not everything. can't wait for versus though, thats my ff10/ kingdom hearts game for sure, allstar was right bout that :)

ahh

thats very tru

Meh...I say nay.

I knew it would be more like XII which I didn't mind, however this looks like a combination between XII and Kingdom Hearts. It looks like the party can control itself well enough but it appears that your ability to move is well...in excess. I like XII because battles stayed true to turn based combat enough so that it wasn't really easy to avoid damage, but at the same time allowed movement to allow the game to feel more realtime. However, by the looks of the battle and seeing Lightning doing backflips after attacking an enemy relentlessly...the game may end up too easy. I also don't really feel any interest in any of the characters...I'll buy the game (for my PS3 of course, as any real Final Fantasy fan will be), but by the looks of the characters and everything it appears that Square Enix tried too hard to appeal to Western audiences. I'm assuming that was PS3 footage because of that version being the only one released in Japan. Waiting to see if the 360 gets shafted on quality of ports like the PS3 does. Still, I'm much more interested in Versus as it looks like it's going to stay closer to Final Fantasy tradition in its characters and hopefully story, I hope the fighting isn't TOO easy like Kingdom Hearts. Still, I'll watch this game to see how it ends up.
