I dunno. I think Square should just scrap the whole video game thing and turn all the FF13 games into full movies.
Not really impressed by FF13 really. Because FF13 Versus looks so much better.
Did anyone watch the leaked new video for FF13 versus?
Finally we get to see more characters in action and the female lead as well. I definitely prefer this female lead to the pink haired one in FF13. In fact, if I were to get a PS3, I'd just get FF13 Versus. The original FF13 just doesn't seem that awesome anymore especially with the inclusion of the blond biker dude... I think he sucks.

Oh man Versus does look awesome. I am seriously going to be a ghost around here when both those games come out.

I concur; FF13vs. // DeathNote Fantasy looks kickass! :3 It's the only reason I would buy a PS3.
// Haha, wyrd's like a big brother now. Finally, someone else who considers modern-day Fantasy to be masturbatory!

Masturbatory.. damn that's a good description. I nearly came when I saw the first extended trailer of Versus (below). I actually look forward to see how they fight in the game.
I was pretty impressed by FF13 when trailers first came out and I thought the pink haired chick was pretty cool, but when this 'Cloud Mark II' appeared, he blew me off my feet with his awesome weapon system. I always wondered what a guy with many swords can do in a fight and Square has answered that question with Versus. Then again I'm just a guy who likes eye candy more than what the candy is made off ;p

WKC didn't appeal to me. I didn't see the other trailer though -- I suppose I'd have to. PS3 really isn't my top priority, though. I mean, I can't even fathom utilizing its features to their fullest potential; I'm pretty low on the ladder and an HDTV is really the lowest priority I've got, right next to sex. :P

That's FF13, or at least that's my impression of it from the screenshots and trailers I've seen. It doesn't look like it's taking any risks, or doing anything whatsoever to stray from exactly what people expect of it... it's "playing it safe", with what appear to be archetypal characters in a stereotypical setting, with lots of heavily-apostrophed words made up to give it more of that stereotypical sci-fi flair. Yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at. The trailer looks like something a Joss Whedon wannabe thought up in his spare time. It's kind of a shame, really, because some of the story details described on Wikipedia are actually sorta interesting.

wyrdwad: (WKC) The last I checked, it just seemed to be another RPG, another expansive world, more of the same boring battles... I think I'm just burning out on the genre, and that doesn't typically happen with me. It's probably a fine game in its own right, but it felt so overly familiar, in the trailers and everything else, that I just couldn't enjoy it. It got to the point where I could say that it was... bland, generic, and well... hip. I didn't see anything new in the trailers that I viewed -- so maybe I just didn't see a *good* trailer for it, yet.

Now THAT is pretty damn tight -- infact, it has everything that I want the next FF to be! :3
If the final product proves to be more like the older trailers though, I'd be quite disappointed. I'd have to add this to my list. (:

I agree with that motion. XD
While the game itself really doesn't spark memories of Wizards and Warriors (outside of the whole pure-melee, classic armor deal), it does seem like a cross between Zelda and Fable to an extent. So far, our hero has only fallen, not once do we see our heavy suit of armor bounding across territory like a jackrabbit! I've been longing for a 3D Wizards and Warriors, but I could settle for Demon's Souls if this is as close as it gets -- it looks pretty cool! (:

Well I was wow bhe WKC trailer way before then, but when i heard the gameplay is really similar to FF12, I say forget it.
For some reason the first 1 minute of the Demon Soul trailer remind me of Shadow of the Colossus, maybe cause the dude look like Wander for a moment.

It came across as an ICO meets Resident Evil kind of thing, which is baffilting seeing who the big fan of the game is ***Looks at mr Wyrdwadoesntlikeanyicogames*** Hey even though we all may not agree on which games we like, I think its safe to say the PS3 is finally getting a good chunk of games this year.

I think the apostrophes are more fantasy though. XD Isn't that usually some Elven thing? Del'lor''e'''''oier' and stuff like that?? XD Anyway, I don't have any expectations from FFXIII other than it looking pretty. (The trailer tells me NOTHING about the story.) What Square needs to do is pull off another FFVII -- you know, new graphics style, grand story, blah blah blah. Just lay off the spin-offs though.

That will never happen, unless SE decides to fire Tetsuya Nomura,

Well they won't get rid of Kowazu so I can't see Nomura getting sacked. If anything, the will create special positions for him.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet but they got the FF13 demo gameplay out on youtube. Well, sure looks pretty. But the battle system seems like it's upgraded from the Last Remnant battle system. Then again, Last Remnant is the only Squeenix game I played so far in years. Edit: Hmm I'm a lot more interested in the FF13 Versus trailer that Shingundam posted. The story seems like it's going to be awesome enough, it feels like it's going to be some sort of tragic romeo juliet romance thingy.

Finished the demo a few hours ago. It was pretty good! Nothing exceptional, but it was enjoyable while it lasted. I'll buy the full version, at least.

How was the battle system? I gotta admit, I've been pretty wary of jumping back on the Final Fantasy bandwagon after everything between 10 and 12. But... the last videos and trailers of how the battles looked really started to sway me towards the, "Woah, I have to get this" side of things. Does it feel more fast paced and action-y, or they just really flashy?
