Dat mantle swaaaaaaaaag.

Day 1.

 

[ponpo]

This looks really bad IMO. Was hoping for a more interesting battle system but just looks like more of the same? I'm sure there are some differences and I liked 13-2's battle system a lot but meh.

Also I really despise Lightning's voice.

Boring looking setting, same old enemies, rehashed battle theme. ZzzZZZZzz

 

[Deleted member 81567]

That outfit is so ridiculously atrocious.

 

[Y2Kev]

I see old monster types and I see Chocolina!

 

[_woLf]

Surprisingly disappointed. Graphics look REALLY rough after all the beautiful environments in XIII and XIII-2. It's like there's practically no lighting at all

Gameplay itself looks fine, but those graphics...need a lot of work.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

She's wearing even less clothes than I thought...pretty much backless AND sideless...and she spun her way down a pole...

They know their audience

 

[Metalmurphy]

13 days left? But I thought it was tomorrow!

This changes everything!

 

[Alucrid]

1) why is she like batman at the start
2) why does this game have better public transportation than the US
3) why are there paintings and couches outside
4) why does she look so out of place
5) why so drab
6) why do the sunglasses make it look like a bad sci fi 90s movie
7) why

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Does not look as good as XIII.

 

[Mikeside]

Ugh, no thanks. Wake me up when SE does ANYTHING with Final Fantasy on an HD console that isn't mo'fuggin 13 based.

 

[Seda]

really?

 

[Ricker]

Mmmm the background/environment,graphic/textures looked awful but maybe its the awful GT player or compression...at least I hope so.The battle engine kinda looks the same but now its going to be with only Lightning all the time? I was hoping for a change in that...still early I guess...

 

[BocoDragon]

Well... uh..... Hmmmm.... Not sure what to think.

Environments look kind of drab. Looks like a classic jRPG "evil religion" plot.... and the XIII-style pretensious monologues are in full swing.

 

[H_Prestige]

Looks about as shitty as I expected.

 

[Wario64]

she looks sexy

 

[DEO3]

Is this Final Fantasy Versus, or something? I have no idea what's going on anymore.

 

[Coin Return]

Looks terrible. The towns are soulless and the combat looks like more of the same.

Definite pass.

 

[Nirolak]

The town kind of looks like something out of an Xbox 1 game run in HD.

 

[Toth]

Nope not kidding. Really liking what I'm seeing here. Then again, I should probably have known not to show enthusiasm in a GAF FF thread.

Bingo. I am psyched though.

 

[mikeGFG]

christ.

what happened to final fantasy?

 

[pieatorium]

some really rough texture work in the town...

yeah it really stands out as being poor

 

[Y2Kev]

The town kind of looks like something out of an Xbox 1 game run in HD.

They found their way around HD towns: use SD towns and run them in HD.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Also I thought you could move freely in battle this time?

Either the game is still quite early but I think it looks worse than XIII-2

 

[we.are.the.armada]

I saw a Miqote in there. Chocolina looks odd in that dull town. Lightning's outfit from the rear reminds me of Assassin's Creed. Lightning with sunglasses is radical.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

She's the new Cloud.

Hellz no.

They found their way around HD towns: use SD towns and run them in HD.

Haha

 

[Kokonoe]

Still looks like the same FFXIII combat. And hahahaha at the shades, hahaha. Oh SE.

 

[kayos90]

Uh. Yeah. This looks fucking terrible.

 

[Majmun]

Meh, I'd rather wait for Versus.

 

[Aeana]

I'm not convinced the combat is really going to be any fun. It looks like the FF13 combat system, just with actions mapped directly to the face buttons. And while I like the FF13 combat system, it was never any fun with just one character.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

The town kind of looks like something out of an Xbox 1 game run in HD.

I was thinking it looked like FF XII when I played it on an emulator.

 

[UrbanRats]

I like all that cloth physics, yup, don't even mind that outfit that much.
Can't say i'm even remotaly interested in this though, since i haven't played a FF since X.

Wait this has real time, action combat? I couldn't tell from the trailer.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

This is a parody of itself.

 

[Shadow780]

Lightning Gundam, ikimasu!

She stole Cloud's shades.

"not cool, Raito"

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The town kind of looks like something out of an Xbox 1 game run in HD.

Like one of those towns from Otogi that was destructible, so they didn't really bother making it look all that good

Spoiler

*is the only person who played Otogi*

 

[akilshohen]

What the hell is she wearing

THOSE GLASSES

 

[shink]

Looks kinda blah but I'll probably still get it.

 

[Akainu]

It's so weird. The first woman Light walks past isn't dressed like a fool.

Get it guys? 13 days FF 13 so clever. Coming in 2013 *brain explodes.*

 

[AniHawk]

final fantasy xii really should have been the game with shitloads of sequels and what happened.

 

[Toki767]

I'm not convinced the combat is really going to be any fun. It looks like the FF13 combat system, just with actions mapped directly to the face buttons. And while I like the FF13 combat system, it was never any fun with just one character.

At least it'll make more sense when you get a game over when your character dies.

 

[dakkumauji]

Eh, pretty bored with the battle system of FFXIII/-2 by now, so doesn't look interesting at all.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

Something about it feels 'cheap'.

It made me thing of Majora's Mask though, which is always a good thing.

Square Enix Presents . . . Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII

Join Lightning on her quest to get her money back from the evil fal'Cie known as Gamestop when she realizes her latest videogame purchase is the epitome of subpar JRPG design. You'll fight twisted former l'Cie turned into monsters when their minds are twisted upon realizing they were duped into accepting ridiculously low trade-in values on games and accessories, and finally delve into a dungeon looking for the long lost Tome of Origini amongst a myriad lookalikes that have been pre-emptively removed from the cases and pawned off as the original.

[StunandStab]

Still buying this day 1 but that trailer was... not good...

The first XIII-2 teaser had me way more hyped.

I'm worried about this game. I want it to be good.

I loved XIII and XIII-2

Please, I want to love this game, too

 

[Sera O]

"Lightning's final journey"

D-do you promise?

Well I guess someone must really love her. As for the trailer, I like the look of the city, but not her new outfit. XIII-2 wasn't to my tastes so I can't see myself picking this up.

 

[ponpo]

She's wearing different outfits in some of the battle scenes.

 

[DBT85]

Someone save it before GT pulls it.

in the time it took me to watch it, see this comment go to keepvid and go back to the video it was gone.

EDIt: back again. wat.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I'm not convinced the combat is really going to be any fun. It looks like the FF13 combat system, just with actions mapped directly to the face buttons. And while I like the FF13 combat system, it was never any fun with just one character.

I thought it would be closer to KH with free movement and all...but looks like a reharsed XIII system combat....

 

[Negator]

This game looks like absolute shit.

The framerate is atrocious, Lightining's outfit is awful, and the combat looks boring.

Pass.

 

[Squire]

I knew it'd look like a rushed game (that's exactly what it is), but HOLY SHIT that frame rate.
