That sunglasses part was totally stupid. Lightning's outfit makes her look completely out of place.
That said, I thought the battles would take place on the field but I guess not. They're using 'color things you can climb/hold', from how they described it early on I thought it would be more freeform.
Lol they removed the trailer!

This game would have been a day one purchase from me if it was Sazh Returns.

Rough first look. It was a really boring environment to show with a brief glimpse at a battle system that looks like the last two games.
They should have just went all CG

This looks really low budget.
Still the best battle theme in any game ever though.

Academia in FFXIII-2 was actually quite good.

Your attempt at sarcasm is noted, but there really aren't many video game trailers out there that look worse than the final product.

Uh, wow. Battle system looks like the same old shit mapped to different face buttons. I probably would have been more interested if they just made it a straight up Action RPG.
This trailer managed to wash away any interest in the game I might have had previously.

Finally, let's get Lightning over with so we can move on to a new story.
Although I'd forgotten how much I like dat battle music.

Yo stop animation called, they want their shit back.
XIII's combat system was never any fun period. I kid...kinda.
Wish SE would scrap this and instead port FFXII to Vita.
Lightning Returns: Bargain Bin in 30 Days.
Based off that trailer this is probably going to be the first "main" Final Fantasy title that I do not buy.
This is a very sad day for me as a fan of the series.
No, it was not. It looked okay graphically, but was mostly empty, had nothing to do, was more moving floor escalators than town, and completely devoid of creativity.

Hmm. I thought the scan from yesterday looked bad. But that outfit looks better in motion, all that cloth flowing as she moved. And I thought the glasses looked awesome. Sue me!
If they can't get making games in this generation right, then good luck with the next one.

That trailer looked rough. REALLY rough. And this is supposed to come out sometime in 2013?? This game looks like it has a long way to go. I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed.

Amazing.
Okay. There are so many things wrong with the trailer I'm just going to start listing things off on why this game will be horrible.
1.) Art design. What the fuck happened to it? These outfits are ridiculous, these towns look completely bland and boring. Where's the interesting architecture? Where's the creative level design? They don't showcase anything artsy to note.
2.) Technical graphics. Yeah. This game looks bad now. If you weren't fine with the graphical finesse that didn't exist in XIII-2 then this game will make you downright angry. The texture in the town looks horrible, the graphical models look bland and bad. No. Sure this is the first trailer and the game isn't done. I understand that. It can only get better I guess.
3.) Combat. So in XIII we got three human party members. In XIII-2 we got two. I guess it only makes sense that we get one in LR. So... they took the most interesting aspect of the XIII series and pretty much destroyed it into what looks like a shallow 1v1 or 1vX fight using the ATB system. This can only go so wrong. You can add only so many new systems and mechanics to make the already ATB combat system interesting. Removing them and replacing is not a smart idea imo.
4.) The Trailer as a whole. Okay, this is your first trailer. It's supposed to be getting people excited and hyped about the game. So.... why is it showcasing boring towns, boring visuals, boring combat, poor graphics, poor framerate, etc. Seriously? What the fuck is this shit.

Looks like a low budget game. Will buy for cheap.

Saved it but I've nowhere I trust to upload it.
Because people buy them. It's called being a business.
EDIT: OK, I've now watched it. I don't think her outfit is horrible, but her voice sure is. Town looks very bland and lifeless. Combat looked odd...and also a bite lifeless too. Like it was an arena fight with some easy enemy or something. Overall, if this wasn't a Final Fantasy game I doubt it'd sell even close to a million.
