Famitsu PS3 - Special DKS3713 Report!

duckroll · 05:56 PM

Okay, looks like the issue due to be released on Tuesday has leaked in certain stores in Japan. Someone on 2ch has gotten a hold of the mag but info is still trickling in. Here's what we know so far:

- The FFXIII demo disc included with FFVIIACC will be a PS3 disc, it's not on a standard blu-ray movie disc. This is good news for people with Euro PS3s, since it'll probably mean the demo will work even if the movie is region locked.

- There're 3 realtime screens of Agito XIII from the trailer, including a screen of Odin.

- 3 pages worth of FFXIII screens and stuff, about 20 screens. There are realtime screens too apparently.

- The FFXIII demo will be from the opening part of the game, and will be longer than FFVIIAC (longer than 90mins? :o).

- 4 pages on Versus, about 10 screens all realtime.

- The world in Versus XIII worships a Shinigami and the Shinigami is designed by Amano

- The cars and clothing seen in the trailers so far will probably change in design for the final game

- The morale of the team is really high!

OMG AGITO XIII:

- They moved it to the PSP because they couldn't wait for cellphones to get more advanced lolz

- The battle will be heavy on action but still sort of turn based. It will use an advanced version of Crisis Core's high speed ATB system.

- Crisis Core was 1 player, but this time there will be multiple characters in the party.

- Right now it supports Infrastructure multiplayer for up to 3 players.

- Summons are part of the character growth system, and can also be controlled by players after summoning.

- The game will support both Ad-hoc and Infrastructure.

Edit (updates/clarifications):

- FFXIII will definitely have a party battle system, where you control each character as they switch turns, like in a normal FF. It will not be like FFXII.

- FFXIII's story is being written such that every single of the main characters will feel like protagonists, instead of just supporting characters.

- At the top of the building where the prince and the heroine of Versus meet, there is a painting. That painting is the Shinigami that is worshipped in the world, and the painting of it in the game itself, is drawn by Amano.

- The name of the prince and the heroine in Versus will be revealed at TGS.

Maybe, just maybe possibly worth the import if correct. Screens should be nice.

Linkzg · (08-16-2008, 06:38 AM)

A demo that is over an hour? I might have to order ACC then.

Knit cap guy (Mr.33cm); his name also has a weather based motif.

Twin tails girl has been through some tough times it seems. Still reading, interesting stuff

Blablurn · (08-16-2008, 06:41 AM)

wow, the news about the length sounds pretty good.

jiggle · (08-16-2008, 06:41 AM)

How long was AC? ACC is 30 minutes longer ya?
wow, sounds like a hot demo D:

Farnack · (08-16-2008, 06:42 AM)

Why couldn't magazines have videos. =(

Kazenone · (08-16-2008, 06:42 AM)

They should've made the demo an unlockable that only activates once you've watched the entire of ACC. Just to spite AC haters!

jiggle · (08-16-2008, 06:43 AM)

- 4 pages on Versus, about 10 screens all realtime.

Desi · (08-16-2008, 06:44 AM)

Now if you can actually save your demo progress it would be totally worth it.

Oh god Shinagami's again.

OMFG! :O

Game-Biz · (08-16-2008, 06:49 AM)

All because it's 90 mins doesn't mean that it's a good thing. I'll remain skeptical for now.

Askia47 · (08-16-2008, 06:49 AM)

AWESOME NEWS

Does the Shinigami give the prince a Death Note?

gantz85 · (08-16-2008, 06:50 AM)

Seems like I'm going to buy ACC. I NID DAT DEMOS!

Rpgmonkey · (08-16-2008, 06:50 AM)

Holy crap at a possibly long demo.

I was already going to import it, it's 100% confirmed now, even if it is like $50.

Defuser · (08-16-2008, 06:50 AM)

I'm fucking hyped right now!!!

Teknoman · (08-16-2008, 06:51 AM)

Amano huh? One crazy looking shinigami confirmed, and its going to be great.

duckroll · (08-16-2008, 06:54 AM)

OMG AGITO XIII:

- They moved it to the PSP because they couldn't wait for cellphones to get more advanced lolz

- The battle will be heavy on action but still sort of turn based. It will use an advanced version of Crisis Core's high speed ATB system.

- Crisis Core was 1 player, but this time there will be multiple characters in the party.

- Right now it supports Infrastructure multiplayer for up to 3 players.

- Summons are part of the character growth system, and can also be controlled by players after summoning.

Witchfinder General · (08-16-2008, 06:54 AM)

Sweet. I wonder if ACC will be region free and contain english subs.

maybe not but it will explain why the soldiers didn't run for their lives when the boy massacred all of them?

b..b... but Carmack said the iPhone...

~cries~

Teknoman · (08-16-2008, 06:57 AM)

Would be nice if it was wi-fi based as well. Seriously, Monster Hunter and possibly Agito missing online gameplay are missed opportunities.

joesmokey · (08-16-2008, 06:58 AM)

Definitely worth the import if the demo really is that long.

duckboy, do you have the magazine in your hands? What do you think of the realtime screens?!

Error · (08-16-2008, 06:58 AM)

Agito XIII sounds like the best FNC game.

I hope it comes out by 2010.

I can't footage of the XIII demo!
