Figured it'd be best to split this off from the original Premiere OT. Discuss!

Is it just me, or do I remember seeing screenshots of the girl that looked way better than the screencap above?

They greatly lowered the amount of polygons for her hair.

They also added a sheen to it that makes it look like she hasn't showered in a month.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
This will either turn out to be the best game ever, or a complete fucking disaster that manages to get worse than Final Fantasy XIII.

Based on the trailer, I'm loving the cutscenes, the graphics, the sound but the gameplay seems dull as shit. Also I'm really Hoping the framerate will be fixed.
 
Seen this earlier today. Looks shit hot!

Day one for me - the battle system looks decent (would have preferred a turned based system but meh I enjoyed KH). Really glad I got a PS3 now (didn't have one at FF13's release), regardless of whether a 360 port arrives, it's pretty much a lock that PS3's version will be superior.

The environments and characters look fantastic, but I have a feeling I will be let down, like I have been with every FF title since 9.

It basically looks like KH style combat with open world of FF12 and crazy set pieces of FF13.
I thought it was gonna be menu based but it looks a lot more action based! I wonder how it will feel to play.

But really the HD version is the one I'm excited about.
You can't really see anything in this video when the action ramps up.

Edit: Yea once they actually added shit going on in that scene, they had to reduce all the polys in her hair lol.
 
The styling of the cutscenes was really great, but jesus... quite unexcited by how it seems to control. (Pre-emptive 'go kill yourself' to anybody saying its too early to tell.)

Everything from the combat to the layout of the interface looks just like an upgraded Kingdom Hearts.

Day One.
 
Yeah, I just loved the trailer from beginning to end. I was actually amazed that it looks as good as it does. I mean, I always was pulling for Versus, but there was always a doubt that it wouldn't live up to what I wanted it to be. The only thing that pisses me off is... that it's not coming this year. Like... ugh. But, if that means the game will be flat out amazing when it releases, I'm all for it. Nomura, better not let me down.

Only 4 voices in the trailer: chauffeur, Noctis, Ignis, and I'm assuming shotgun boy. If Gladiolus was in there, his voice didn't stand out compared to Ignis.

Is the field beyond the fence explorable? I'm guessing so but looks a bit too good to be true. It also remind me a bit of the SNES mana games

Anyway, the gameplay is going to make or break this game and so far it looks like it's going to win major. Can't wait

I am not impressed for the most part.

The combat seems like it lacks weight and the party members we know of thus far seem pretty dull. Also of note is the fact that the city sections shown so far seem to be closed-off corridor type areas.

With all that said, I really like what I saw with the more open environments and that dragoon looked pretty badass (hopefully she is a party member).

The issue I'm having is that I can probably count the number of games that have been developed for ages, that I have enjoyed or at least lived upto expectations - on one hand.

I want this game to be amazing, the trailer made it look really good, I just don't know if Square has it in them anymore.

Kagari, I haven't seen your impressions on the trailer, the game has practically been your religion for the last year or two on here.

May not happen but ill keep the hope alive!

I will write up some impressions shortly. I've only had 6 hours of sleep for the past 24 hours~ I've been watching it through a few times and there's definitely a lot I would like to address.

Heh, I actually thought of Oblivion when I saw the scene too. The bigger the exploration fields the better.

From that trailer i kinda wish the game had a combat system similar to FF12, that part in the grassy field with the dragon looked like something straight out of FF12! :D

The set-pieces and storytelling seem good from that trailer. And the mechas look awesome.:lol

It'll definitely be something else when this game FINALLY comes out. Til then, at least I got Type 0 to keep me company... ^_^
 
Ok saw part of the video so far and am interested. What is the whole versus thing all about and what's its relation to FFXIII beyond being a part of the Nova Crystal-whatever monicker?
