[Star Falcon]

Looks kinda rough, no shadows or anything under Lightning. Music is kinda catchy.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

The battle system seems pretty interesting yet I wish the animation and graphics were a little more improved.

 

[The_Monk]

Thanks for posting fellow GAFfer.

To be honest, after watching this I think I'm more hyped to get the FF X and X-2 HD Versions for PS3 or Vita.

 

[Frumix]

That trailer provided absolutely no useful information about the gameplay.

Buy shadows DLC

 

[akaoni]

Looks great.

I admit I chuckled - "There has to be a way to get through....", PUSH BIG BUTTON, OPEN!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Like everything else we've seen, glimpses of something cool but it's let down by the execution.

They've clearly not fixed the dubbing in with the characters mouths either just yet, so it looks pretty bad in trailers.

They need to show the more open aspects of the exploration.

 

[Zuly]

It looked all kinds of "meh".

I really dig those shades though.

 

[Auskeek]

The delivery of the line "can you?" from Lumina sounded really really uncomfortable for the voice actress.

 

[Avallon]

Glad to see that the framerate has improved since the reveal.

 

[kick51]

Lightning sweetie, those are the cheesiest shades anyone has ever worn ever.

 

[Erasus]

Where are the shadows? ...

YOU CAN JUMPER OVER STUFF OMG

Battle effects look nice and I hope the battle system is fun.

Lightning looks okay and so does the lightning

 

[Legium2k]

No PC logo at the end

 

[Kajiba]

Looks great.

Lol was thinking the same thing when I was looking at that part.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Yeah as expected that looks terrible, not falling for it again SE.

Bring the goods with Versus/FFXV!

 

[PrivateWHudson]

So I haven't played FF since 7. Can anyone give me a quick summary of the titles since then? I see Lightning Returns for 13, so I guess this is a sequel to 12? But then there is that FF Versus game also. Neither of them look like what I remember from 7 with spells and summons and stuff. Where should I jump back in?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

That music should be injected into me

 

[chri5t]

Definitely looks a lot better than its last showing. The frame rate has improved dramatically.

If anybody knows how to polish up a game, it's Square.

This sums up what Final Fantasy XIII is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabula_Nova_Crystallis_Final_Fantasy

 

[Sweenix]

looks pretty good

This is the third (and hopefully final) instalment in the Final Fantasy XIII series.

 

[Acquiescence]

Eugh, look at her. She's just so rubbish.

 

[StuBurns]

The location looks good, but the animation work, and the performance are both really subpar.

 

[Midou]

Something looks kind of clunky/slow about the combat. Will have to actually try it myself though. It does seem to match the pace of XIII, but kind of slow for a more 'actiony' sort of game.

Music is certainly good.

I hate that little girl more and more though.

 

[Rhapsody]

Music's nice. The frame rate's still off though which is a shame.

 

[IHaveIce]

Is this alpha footage or what? This looks rough as hell and even worse than XIII-2

 

[Pein]

so stripper poles are gonna be everywhere I take it?

 

[TheChaos0]

Looks good, they should have spent more time one.. less dark and enclosed areas though.

 

[Kagari]

Looks last gen.

 

[aceface]

Is Lightning talking to the player in this?

 

[Vitanimus]

Looks fun! Hoping dat framerate is improved in further trailers. If anyone is wondering what the track playing in the trailer is, it's called "The Savior".

[BlazingDarkness]

Also yes, glad to see the framerate not chugging!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

+Nice locales/Art
+Catchy music
+Battle system looks decent

-Framerate slightly better, but still patchy
-Characters/Dialog/VA's
-Lots of random elements

 

[Frumix]

Finally Toriyama can talk to his waifu.

 

[Tathanen]

I like it.

 

[shola]

looks meh...

 

[Ikuu]

Thought it looked awful.

 

[catapult37]

Ugh, looks cheap. Music is terrible. This bums me out... I used to be the biggest FF fan and now, just... no thank you.

 

[Midou]

Is Lightning talking to the player in this?

Yeah that's what I was wondering actually. I am sure some of the Lightning fanbase is excited if that's true. Maybe you can pick what she calls you, like 'master'. She can get some personality DLCs, $29.99 for Tsundere.

 

[Road]

My name is Lightning. I climb ladders and slide down on poles. I'm so cool.

 

[R_thanatos]

Yeah that's what I was wondering actually. I am sure some of the Lightning fanbase is excited if that's true. Maybe you can pick what she calls you, like 'master'. She can get some personality DLCs, $29.99 for Tsundere.

Lightning is talking to Hope

 

[JaseMath]

Looks alright. Lightning not casting shadows looks weird, though.

 

[Jinfash]

You can tell how they're super proud of how scales ladders and slide down poll. They keep showing it over... and over... lol.

 

[fatgamecat]

Would be kinda neat if there were timing elements to the combat.

Did I mention S-E likes action RPGs now? lol

 

[aceface]

Yeah that's what I was wondering actually. I am sure some of the Lightning fanbase is excited if that's true. Maybe you can pick what she calls you, like 'master'. She can get some personality DLCs, $29.99 for Tsundere.

It can be a Geordie in the holodeck with that chick moment. "When you are touching the controller you are touching me" etc

 

[StuBurns]

Looks last gen.

Are you expecting a next-gen announcement by the way? The posters around LA say there's a PC version coming, right? So they have an x86 build, this game could certainly benefit from it.

[Kyzer]

Why does this look so bad? It pisses me off that the amount of time and money spent on this could have gone to something so much more amazing

 

[chickdigger802]

wait, they got rid of damage numbers?

Better just be a demo thingie...

reaching and breaking damage cap is pretty much the only reason to do side content in jrpgs.

If I can't see that, then what's the point?

 

[Midou]

Lightning is talking to Hope

There is no hope

Spoiler

in the demo

But you're probably right, I do remember hearing they are always interacting or something.
