Support NeoGAF

Really? Wow, in that case i'll probably put down my preorder for the package as soon as possible.

Maybe you want to wait until we know how much it'll actually cost.

Of course

a lot of FF8 developers are working on Versus, I for one am very happy.

One of the planning directors is the director of DoCFFVII! Aren't you excited?!

While DoC sucked big time I think it's a good idea to have someone who learned from his mistakes on the team instead of a newface.

Hmmm, there are a few details in the mag that haven't been mentioned:

- The "mark" that the l'Cie have to show they're chosen ones is a visual mark. It looks like a tattoo. The fal'Cie have a strong connection to the crystals, just like the l'Cie have a strong connection to summons.

- The "destiny" that the fal'Cie give the l'Cie are given to them through visions that only l'Cie can see. Because the visions are not specific instructions, even though the same vision is given to all the l'Cie, they can interpretate them differently on personal levels.

- While it's not said outright, it's pretty much a given that in FFXIII, Lightning, Mr 33cm and Nomchan are all l'Cie.

- As for Versus... the art that Amano is doing for the Shinigami painting(s?) is based very specifically on his main logo for the Fabula Nova Crystallis. The face looks exactly the same as the goddess in that logo and Nomura says that the Shinigami concept is also a part of the FNC mythology.

Has it been confirmed whether or not FFVIIAC Complete will have english subtitles? I'd hate to buy it just for the demo (I actually enjoyed watching FFVIIAC).

It might, but remember that blurays are still region restricted, so you need a Japanese ps3 to watch it.

 

[jiggle]

just saw those HQ scans that Autumn made. thanks a lot. both games are looking hawt.

 

[Kinitari]

hope this is a joke post. can't really tell though.

 

[hteng]

And PMs to scanned images!

Spoiler

lol

do a ffxiii search on google, it should be on the first link

edit: oh snap, didn't know he was banned lol.. sorry.. hope i didn't break any rules

 

[FFChris]

- FFXIII will definitely have a party battle system, where you control each character as they switch turns, like in a normal FF. It will not be like FFXII.

Excellent, can't wait.

 

[SolidSnakex]

The US and Japan use the same region code.

 

[duckroll]

I wonder when we'll get to see the realtime images of Kefka and Sephiroth in Dissidia. Maybe next week's Jump? ^^;

Oh, then forget what i said.

 

[SnowDog]

The demo is on a seperate Bluray disc from the film

 

[jiggle]

they way they talk about how the visions can be interpreted differently and how you play as different characters at different time from different perspective in the demo
sounds to me like they start off the game from opposing sides

I don't think they start off from opposing sides. But I think it's more of how the game will focus at different characters at different times. Because they're all "chosen" and have their own understanding of their visions, even if they are drawn together for a common purpose they might have a different individual understanding of what that purpose really is. I think it's much more likely that the characters will drift apart as the game goes on, but the demo being the start of the game will show them coming together first. But it's likely that right from the start, each of the characters will have a slightly different motivation for being part of the party and the demo might show how each of them joins up with the group from different starting points and origins.

 

[k1s3k1]

hotcafe got some new scans.. i think the first one is real time..

 

[Witchfinder General]

Sigh, a return to turn-based FF. Whilst I understand that it split the fanbase and I myself generally enjoy turn-based JRPGs, the 'always on' aspect of the battles and your group felt like a breath of fresh air.

I really hope that after all those years of development Square haven't shelved that design. Perhaps we'll see it pop-up in a non-FF title from Square.

Huh ? FF was always turn based (well, maybe not XI, I don't know).
The ATB thing is only "dynamic turn-based combat" for me, not real time (real time = Star Ocean 3, Rogue Galaxy...).
And so, if you were talking about XII, only moving was in real time.

One can only wish. God, Kefka's going to be so damn overpowered.

 

[k1s3k1]

all the scans are at forever fantasy ^^

Veeery interesting. If it's handled well this could lead to some pretty neat storytelling. I wonder if the visions will be interactive at all.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Even if the Japanese release of ACC does have either English subs or dubbing, what about all the extra footage? At first it seemed like it was just going to be a few additional moments during the fights, but now aren't they saying 20-30 additional minutes? If there's substantial additional dialog, my guess is that this release will only have English subtitles since that's a whole lot easier to fill in.

 

[adamsapple]

fuck the fan wars, i saw squall and sephiroth sword dueling in the trailer, i came. Thats the kind of shit i want to see more of.

It's already confirmed that there's going to be a multi-language audio track. If not English, what other languages would they include?

 

[Fuu]

Thanks for the info on the OP, all of the games are looking and sounding great.

So hyped for Agito, co-op multiplayer for the mortherfucking win.

I'm surprised people are worrying about that when there's no way the demo will be localized.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

I like this idea a lot.

I don't, the Moment we have a female lead in Final Fantasy, she becomes like Terra in Final Fantasy 6.

What the fuck SquareEnix, do this when you had those effeminate boy leads, not when you have strong female leads.

 

[duckroll]

It's true! Dissidia is pretty much the Gamefaqs yearly FF character poll in KH engine form. :lol

Pretty obvious now that the new FFXIII screenshots that popped up last week are real-time. Duckroll wrong again!

Yup, pretty much. HUGE difference between the CG-stuff from 2006 but it still looks fucking incredible.

It looks considerably close to the faux-real-time footage from 2006.

They look great. Lightning appeals to me more than Nom nom but blondie from VersusXIII looks Nommier.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Happy to be wrong! You got any crow left from the Ledger feast? I could use some right now.

Agreed, lighting is one of the best Nomura designed characters is a LONG time.

So are Mr.33 cm (finally, a man in FF game who actually looks like a man) and Nomm-chan.

The funny thing is most fans believe this will answer the question of WHO IS THE STRONGEEST EVARRR!! :lol

Speaking of Dissidia, any new info on it yet? I thought this was suppose to have some on it.

There are some screenshots, as far as info goes I really have no idea since I haven't read it yet. AT also said it is mentioned in one of the interviews.

and you chose that picture to prove he's a man? The color of the rings on his hand suck bad.

Was that Nomura's design though? I didn't know. If true, then I'll stand corrected.
