I'm really surprised seemingly nobody knew about it since that's like, big non-news news!
Agh, I'm really excited about whatever that might be know that I read that. Is it Versus or something else? The possibilities!

I don't think they expected a 75% drop in terms of going from the number of people who played XIII to XIII-2.

The fans sure did. XIII was the first mainline FF I did not finish and the demo of XIII-2 was even worse. I realised the series was dead then.

But from ashes we can build it anew. Let's just hope LR sells even worse.



And FFXII zodiac version needs to be translated ;__;

Ito's gotta be working on something right? I don't think he's being paid to do nothing but he might as well have disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Watching hopes be raised only to be dropped from such a height they hit the ground at terminal velocity is truly something.

It's funny though, the moment I hear something good coming out of Square Enix, my hopes raise to about 1% maximum capacity at most. If they announced Versus XIII for like October 2013 right now, and showed awesome new footage, I still wouldn't have any faith until playing it for myself. I can't take their word for it or buy into footage anymore.

Just booted up 13 again...hnnngggg.... so good.

How's the 13-2 dub btw? I figured I'd just grab the English version of it.

I didn't play 13 in English so looks like I'm in for a treat. Will actually be my first English rpg since like FF12..

Don't listen to Kagari hatred for Alisus Christilis, her raucous tone will bless you once again and even more in LR.

Serious now, Serah and Noel are great, you will love it. And XIII is great besides Vanille.

lol, sorry but Ali's work as Lightning is fucking terrible. At least Maaya Sakamoto puts some emotion into her performance.

Japanese people generally have more emotion. Comparing the first BERSERK OVA between the 2 languages proves this well enough for me.
 
There is no link sadly. I screencaptured a shot from the Lightning x Caius CG video and edited the colors/highlights/contrast on photoshop. :/

Edit: I made this one too, so if anyone feels like using it, fell free:

Damn, I totally would have used that if you hadn't mentioned the hurp derp lol

If we're ever lucky enough to get a FFXII HD re-release... maybe? :D XII is one of my favorites. Story might just be a reskinned star wars but the gameplay is REALLY good.

Aye..100 hours in the first, 100 hours in the zodiac version.. man the zodiac version was so good. I'd definitely take that over any remake.

Did we go back to 2006?
DID YOU GUYS SEE THE SONIC 2006 TRAILER?! Sonic animates a lot and the graphics look soooo coooool. I heard they got Akon to do a song! I don't know who he is, but they got a major artist doing something for Sonic again!

That game is gonna be so awesome. I bet I'm gonna play it several times! It's going to be one of the best platformers of the generation, I'm sure of it!!

Right, but X-2 didn't have a humongous drop in sales like XIII-2 from its predecessor.
I remember that game having two commercials and a lot of people in my high school, even if they weren't into Final Fantasy, digging it presentation-wise (well some for obvious reasons). Those commercials actually got a few girls I know who barely played games to buy it. I don't recall hearing anything similar about 13-2, though I'm in uni now... And the market's a different place. The kids in tutorials who were looking forward to 13-2 on launch day were the ones who dug FF13, but otherwise I didn't see a lot of people talking about it.

Never mind that it's one of the best and most fun FF games.

Oh it isn't that bad.
It's actually kind of boring even compared to Sakamoto's performance. And that isn't Sakamoto's best performance either.

I had to do the math reading this and remember if it was 10 years or not since 10-2.. did you take a break between high school and college? Or you're in a longer than 4 years program? Actually it was closer to 8 eh..wow only 8 years. So if you were a freshman you could be a senior now eh. Neat.

Haha, that would be great, thank you :)

I could definitely use a new Lightning avatar

So I made this for you, hope you like it, I'm proud of it at least :p

If you want me to use the original insted of the altered just ask. :) And if you didn't like it just say and I will make another one.

Also if anyone else would like some Lightning avatar just ask. I'm loving this trend.
 
Avatars that aren't 100 x 120 bother me. :/

Yeah, I think I have to agree with this.

Edit: well, not so much that avatars that aren't 100 x 120 BOTHER me, per se, just that I would prefer one that is. =P

LuuKyK, could you make one that is 100 x 120? Maybe without all the glowy bits, too. What the heck is behind her in that pic that turned bright green anyway?

Its her shoulder pad that I turned into glowy green instead of the original yellow one. I don't normally use images without some alterations because they are not unique, but I will try and do some for you, and I can't guarantee a 100 x 120 because sometimes the original image won't fit these dimensions without being distorted to hell. Will post the new one as soon as I can though. :)
