I imagine the party is in danger of turning into those unless they "defy fate" ;o

Or they risk turning into cie corpses if they defy their fate, but they'll still defy it.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Hope?

Mo' liek I Hope he isn't like Vaan, amirite?

On a serious note: my only concern is how combos will work with a boomerang. Will he even be able to use launch?

Also does anybody get an Occuria vibe with the fal'Cie(in the sense that they're both powerful god-like beings who just love to screw with humanity)?

Edit: So basically they have to destroy the fal'Cie before their time runs out otherwise they'll turn into husks? Oh well, considering their assignment it supposedly to destroy Cocoon the fal'Cie must've given them alot of time right?

 

[Darkpen]

who's Hope?

 

[FFChris]

Hope? That's a girls name!

You're trying too hard Square-Enix.

Edit: To be fair, I should have seen this coming after 'Snow'.

 

[Awntawn]

Quiet WHORE!!!

Psh, you're no match for us Norans

 

[Fimbulvetr]

who's Hope?

The kid who looks like Vaan, the one always hanging around Vanille.

Edit: thanx Awntawn

Hey Chilly don't you owe everyone 100 yen?

 

[Awntawn]

The kid who looks like Vaan, the one always hanging around Vanille.

Nomchan's boyfriend

Spoiler

I will stab somebody if true

btw scans are bannable. you might wanna take that down ;o

 

[Darkpen]

I didn't even see the scan, thus my puzzlement at this sudden news of "Hope" :S

 

[Kagari]

It has a CG picture of him in a very Vaan-like pose. :lol

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Edit: thanx whore defense force

He saved your ass, least you can do is thank is actual name

Psh, you're no match for us Norans

Not enough zippers.

 

[Darkpen]

It has a CG picture of him in a very Vaan-like pose. :lol

oh :S

 

[Shadow780]

Cie Corpse:

At least it looks like the same thing from the new scans.

Something is weird about her elbow and forearm...

 

[Foffy]

Well, I Hope he's a cool character! Yes...that was lame :x

He really looks a lot like Vaan, but a lot younger. He also sounded similar in the E3 trailer to Vaan.

 

[lorddarkflare]

I disagree on both accounts, but he does look like the devs told the artists similar things during the time he was being realized.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Perspective.

 

[Darkpen]

Perspective.

this.

also, I just saw the scan on kotaku...

:lol

Hope looks like a lesbian, with how his face is warped and lit in the photo.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Hope is so very cute he could be a girl! But I prefer him as a boy!

Reverse-trap?

 

[rataven]

Hope is a dead ringer for Vaan, pose and all. Square is killing me with their originality on this game.

His look doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the main cast. And that's probably the point, but I'm not sure I'm liking it :/

 

[Shadowlink]

Wait the character is named "Hope". Can someone please tell me who names these characters?

If anything, I feel that he fills that Disney channel 14 year old boy child star niche nicely, more or less the way Roxas in Kingdom Hearts 2 is like. His voice casting pushes this as well. I think he works.

 

[Shadow780]

Wait the character is named "Hope".

 

[Shadowlink]

Damn I knew someone would post a picture of someone named "hope". I thought it would be the Chilly Academic though.

He even seems to have a similar conflict as Vaan. Just replace Bash with Snow and brother for mother.

 

[paperheart]

also, I just saw the scan on kotaku...

Yeah, I'm not digging his character style at all. I also agree with those who say he looks like Vaan, and well I really didn't like Vaan either. I'm glad the other characters in Final Fantasy XIII seem interesting.

 

[Shadowlink]

I just saw the scan for Hope. He looks alright but I'm wondering why Nomura uses like the same art style for all his games? I mean if I didn't know Hope was a guy, I would of thought he was a girl.

Character designers tend to recycle a lot. Well, some of them do anyway.

Knowing Nomura, when confused, always assume male first.

Yea I noticed D:

Thanks for the Tip

He beat me to it by a second!!

 

[Shadowlink]

He beat me to it by a second!!

It's ok, you can get me next time when you have the chance

 

[Shadow780]

He beat me to it by a second!!

You're slow, I totally understand

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

You're slow, I totally understand

Shut your face!!!

 

[Rahxephon91]

I'm actually pretty sure Hope's english va was also Vann's.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

So we're all agreed that if he ends up being too much like Vaan we'll collectively punch who ever is for this in the face right?

 

[Darkpen]

I'm actually pretty sure Hope's english va was also Vann's.

I disagree. He sounded more like a 13-14 year old, scratchy voice and all. Vaan's was... more nasaly....ish, And older.

 

[ilikeme]

Yeah no it's not the same voice actor.

 

[Zoso]

Hope? Snow? Not really feeling these names =/

Hope we can change them.

 

[StuBurns]

Hope? Snow? Not really feeling these names =/

Hope we can change them.

You can't change them, but I agree, names aren't so good, but they never were.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Hope? Snow? Not really feeling these names =/

Hope we can change them.

What's in a name? ^^

 

[adamsapple]

What's in a name? ^^

and what's the point if they're going to be vocally called out every time anyway -_-

 

[Dark Octave]

What's in a name? ^^

What is a man?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

What is a man?

What do women want?

 

[Regulus Tera]

What is a man?

A miserable little pile of secrets.

 

[Shadowlink]

Damn they should change all the names to Shadowlink, now that would be a name that everyone would want

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Damn they should change all the names to Shadowlink, now that would be a name that everyone would want

Ahahahah....NO.

 

[Shadowlink]

Ahahahah....NO.

 

[FoxSpirit]

Hope? Snow? Not really feeling these names =/

Hope we can change them.

Oh, I'm sorry, the actual names are Kippou and Yuki

"The official website for Final Fantasy XIII has a neat making-of feature giving a glimpse at how sound was done for the game.

In the clip, a foley artist does sound for a PSICOM troop. The sound for each was done individually, and this is not the final sound cut for this scene.

This is game making magic right here. A dude shaking metal gloves."

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

I'm guessing it was done at E3, but has the official US site been updated?
