Oh man oh man oh man. Thank you Square-Enix.
Man, I go to sleep for four hours, thinking I've seen all the pictures we're going to get, then loads more comes out!! I've got classes now so I've not been able to read everyones translations and stuff, but what I've read so far...
I'm excited. These games look so intense and incredible, I am 100% amazed.
But honestly, I had no idea. The entire scenario and premise of Versus just looks superior. This crew just looking to cause unrest. Realistic looking futuristic environments of some far off utopia maybe even a dystopian era. A crew with cars, actual vehicles. It just looks slick.
Far better than the other FFXIII with oompa luumps animals running around in the wild, and people in put together rags that attempt to pass as character design. Utter fantasy school girl playing in/with panties bullshit. Where as in Versus it looks like actual clothing and stylish at that.
I declare today, fuck the other Fiinal Fantasy XIII day.

Fuck that, I already said before I went to sleep with the low quality pictures, I am Square-Enix's bitch. I will bend over backwards to take it for these guys - I have never been this excited for one game, much less two. These games just look like something else to me.
And I have finished reading this thread before my classes... all that's left is MOAR TRANSLATIONS! Where's the interviews?!
TTFN!

I've seen people get banned for this before. You gettin a free pass?
Hell I really don't see how you come to that conclusion anyway. The FFXIII designs are a lot more practical and less emo than what I've seen from Versus thus far. Not that I'm hating on Versus at all.
Oh my God. What have you done to me SE?!? You made two of the hottest games of forever. How dare you. This is simply stunning. What's with all the news pouring out now. I love the character designs, for both games. They each have their own unique style, and both have some of the best designs of any game. Every single screen is like watching a painting move right before your eyes. Congratulations.
By the way, does anybody else think we should do a blowout thread, one for each XIII and Versus XIII? Like the one we did for Resistance 2. I think they deserve it. And it would be a lot easier hopping back and forth between multiple scan threads.

I agree. Way too many XIII and vsXIII scans threads.Basch said:By the way, does anybody else think we should do a blowout thread, one for each XIII and Versus XIII?

I endorse the idea of a blowout thread if they start releasing media more constantly as I hope they will do.

Versus looks pretty awesome but I don't think it looks superior to FFXIII.

Well Nomura said to imagine a realistic Kingdom Hearts crossed with a third person shooter. It's certainly ambitious. Only time will tell how well they're able to pull it off.
I ingenuously thought we couldn't sink even lower when discussing FF games.
The KH games actually have good gameplay. It's not a bad path for vsXIII to follow, as long as they stay away from button mashing (more of a problem in KH2 than in 1).SolidSnakex said:

I like Versus XIII better. It's darker and darker always leads to cooler Nah really, to be honest, I didn't have the slightest bit of interest in these new FF games... It's just that I've been disappointed by the last installments (basically all the PS2 games) and I'm not really sure I want to get my hopes high on these ones. But the darker scheme in VsXIII sure looks good. Specially the pic with the blond girl amongst the buildings in the middle of the night :O It kind of reminds me of the Parasite Eve setting.
Just a couple of doubts. I've hear Nobuo Uematsu refused to make the music for XIII cause apparently he "wasn't inspired by the game." Is this true? (not that I care really, but I was wondering). Also, is it true that the battle system in XII is making a comeback for XIII? If so, for both games or just for the main one?
edit: I got the answer for one of the previous questions in the posts above. Glad to hear VsXIII will be more an action RPG but I still don't know about 'the main' FFXIII.

It could be an underlying self hate, wishing they were of some aryan descent. It could be they think white skin is pretty, ( it isn't really ). What is really is, is a defective aggressive genetic genome mutation that serves no purpose bound for extinction and eradication in the coming milennia , but why even carry on this talk on a gameing board. Lets just enjoy the games.
Defuser said:
...? GameFAQs crap? Concern over representation within a game is a perfectly legitimate discussion, especially over a company who claims they want to branch out and reach more of a western audience. They need to try to diversify if they really care about reaching out so much.
I've also been a bit annoyed about the lack of minorities in the games and keep hoping they will eventually pump it up. Unfortunately it seems like minorities are only ever allowed in vulgar analogic forms (rat-people, the beast things from X, whatever the rabbit-ears were called in XII) or as extreme minorities (Barrett is... the only black man on the planet?).
Edit: If people are so beat up about it it doesn't need to be discussed of course, but to call the concerns "Gamefaqs crap" is plain stupid.
I don't care what race or color are the characters, let the designers do whatever they want as long as it looks good and interesting. Every character can be black or white for what I care.
Would be ridiculous if they felt obligated to add a representant of every race in their games.

it's not Kingdom Hearts gameplay , it's ARPG ( RPG with a action game's fight system ) it's like Zelda , KH . Dark Cloud 1/2 , Rogue Galaxy , the core gameplay still pure RPG like anyother FF ( with upgrade , elements , puzzles , play as more than one character ) the fight system will be more like KH , and they will upgrade they style for sure , think of it like CC:FFVII but with KH freedom , or DMC fights with RPG elements/ treatment , there is alot of game uses Action RPG style in serious way like Rogue Galaxy and it's like traditional RPG .

I don't really think KH have bad gameplay. But for this they really need to give more depth. I think something along the lines of GoW should be good enough for this type of game as long as the TSP part of the game is also fleshed out. That aspect of the game just needs to rip its shooting system from basically every other game using the RE4 style camera.

Yea, Rude was obviously a black guy
Anyway, not many characters have been shown so far... but it can be assumed that at least in FF13 vs there won't be much diversity in its main characters.
I agree. I'm positive they can pull off something at least decent, if not great.SolidSnakex said:
I have issues with the TPS part, though... I'm sure it'll be one of the many weapons the protagonist will use, so if I have to keep my expectations on the realistic side, some parts of the gameplay will shine, some not so much.
I'd rather have the game concentrate on a few aspects and do them greatly than have many concepts and only being so-so with them.
Anyway, I have high hopes for the swordplay!

Alaluef said:
I'm a bit confused about the TPS part. According to an earlier posts, guns are outlawed in Versus world and the blonde kid is an outlaw because he carries that shotgun type weapon. Nomura's revealed that the Prince isn't going to be fighting on your own so it seems like the group with the him will be fighting along with him similar to what goes on in KH. So will the TPS part come in with you possibly being able to change characters when it comes to battles so you can take advantage of all the different characters abilities? The Prince would still be the main character in that scenario.
Replicant said:
Yuna and Tidus fit in perfectly with the rest of their character designs. Tidus and Wakka (I'm guessing he was a pacific islander?) were the only non-white human cast members. It's not really that big of a deal, I just thought we would be passed this kind of thing in 2008... Especially for a franchise that is inspired by several cultures.

I just woke up with a morning wood and this helped me....... you know what.
Maybe the Prince will be able to steal weapons from his enemies like he does in the trailer.SolidSnakex said:
I'd love to have this and be able to change characters. Both are great features.
Something I think is really neat is his ability to teleport to where he throws his weapons. I can't wait to see how this will be implemented in the gameplay.

I'd say the real reason you don't see minorities in these games is because they're scared of offending people. Japanese developers are scrutinized more than any other developers when it comes to their portrayal of minorities. Barret is a good example of this. He was seen as just some walking stereotype, although people seem to ignore how he took care of Marlene. On the other hand look at Cole in GoW, who's just as big (probably bigger) and there isn't much of a big deal made about that.
Ryan actually brought something similar about this up on the KojiPro podcast. Apparently after MGS came out Konami received several complaints from people that they were being racist because of the accents they used.

Well Barret taking care of a kid doesn't keep him from being a Mr. T wannabe, or any less of a joke.
And I dont' want to be dragged (or drag the thread off topic) but Gears of War probably pisses me off the most with its lame ass black characters, this compounded by me being in numerous games where I hear "hey hey, let's get nothing but black guys"... sometimes you can substitute a non favorable word for black as well...
Concerning Versus... if it is similar to KHs I hope it has more complex moves, and yea switching characters rather than just being stuck with assisting npcs would be ideal. Imagine stringing combos by switching characters on the fly.
