He's a big piece of shit, and he transforms into a bigger piece of shit which doesn't move. Not hard to understand! :lol

So the summon is basically another Bahamut?

 

[brandonh83]

Sounds like Devastator in Revenge of the Fallen.

Except Devastator moves!

2 feet. And then John Turturro kills it. laaaaaame

 

[Shadowlink]

Does Bahamut even move? I didn't really notice him moving in FF VII unless I'm drunk and I forgot.

 

[duckroll]

The only real comparison between Alexander in FFXIII and Transformers would be..... Fortress Maximus.

Yes, the less I'm able to relate FFXIII and Michael Bay together, the better.

Which one? I think they all move... sorta...

 

[Shadowlink]

I'm not really sure but it was Neo I think.

I do not understand, the thing looks like a bunch of fucking Rooks glued together lol

 

[Shadow780]

Terrible Alexander design....

 

[Shadowlink]

So I saw the scan with Alexander. Looks like some sort of castle creature and the towers are the arms.

 

[Kagari]

More English VAs:

Lightning: Ali Hillis ... she was Liara T'Soni in Mass Effect.

and some new character?

Josh Robert Thompson ... Rygdea / Male Runner / Soldier (voice: English version)

Which, to be fair, is what he's always looked like.

Sounds like a Pokemon name.

this was Alex in FF9, how epic that was.

Good VA for Lightnning. But what gives with her lackluster performance in the trailer?

 

[Shadowlink]

Alex was in FF IX? I thought he was a new summon.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

She has never sounded good, especially in the trailers.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Most boring driving mode ever?

I was expecting Alexander to take the crown. He failed magnificently.

Bah, Nintendo.

Bah, Kingdom Hearts.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

goes all the way back to FFVI, mang.

 

[ZephyrFate]

I often forget how absolutely beautiful that game can be, and I'm glad this design is going off FFIX's, if not really in scale.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Alexander in FFVIII was badASS

Interesting. Did we ever find out if Snow was Troy Baker or not?

 

[Kagari]

It's him. I saw a video thing with him at some anime con or whatever and he mentioned he was in a big game coming out in Spring but couldn't talk about it.

 

[Crash Station]

Okay, wasn't sure. It definitely sounded a lot like him, especially since I was playing Persona 4 when I saw the English trailer.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Hmmm.

Decent enough choice I'd say.

 

[Crash Station]

Hmmm.

Perfect choice I say. One of the best VAs in the industry. He should be the one with all the protagonist roles, not JYB.

 

[Shadow780]

that's cool.

 

[brandonh83]

November 13th better bring a demo announcement with it

November 13th: oh hi I'm here go download the fucking demo and play it.

 

[Styles]

OR they could announce the western release date!

 

[bernardobri]

Huh, I was under the impression that Allison Keith (VA for Misato in Evangelion) was the one behind Lightning.

Who the hell was he in P4?

Kanji

Rather have the demo.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Kanji

Ohhh...

Very cool

 

[Diablos]

"YEAH.... RIGHT IN THERE......"

 

[duckroll]

Clean scans are out, but it's still really hard to make out what Alexander REALLY looks like. I'm warming up to the design though, unlike Bahamut the design actually looks somewhat sensible and I like the fortress idea. Alexander being split into pieces is a concept already used in FFXI anyway, so it's not alien to FF at all.

Some details about the use of chocobos in FFXIII:

- Chocobos have health meters represented by feathers
- Each time you get attacked by an enemy on the field, the chocobo loses a feather
- When the health meter is depleted, the chocobo will escape, leaving you without a ride
- The chocobo can also find hidden treasures on the field. If you see a ! appears over the chocobo's head, you can try digging for treasure

 

[zoukka]

No "hot & cold"

 

[Diablos]

No "hot & cold"

Kweh.
Kweh!?
Kwehhh!?

I like the Choco info I'm seeing so far.

 

[FFChris]

Oh jesus, these summons just get worse and worse. Hopefully Alexander looks a bit less rediculous when it's moving, somehow I doubt it though.

Looks like I'm the only one who likes the chocobos though. :lol

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

No "hot & cold"

CLOSE ENOUGH WOOO!!!!

 

[zoukka]

CLOSE ENOUGH WOOO!!!!

Eh sounds like they just are "chests" that you can open with a chocobo.

 

[duckroll]

There's nothing visible though. It could be entirely randomly generated each time you go on a field, like Hot and Cold.

Well as long there are some cues and good treasures I'm game.


Combo meter that rises for each treasure and improving the next one would ne nice. It would reset after you lose the chocobo eventually in battles or something.

 

[ZephyrFate]

I must be alone in thinking Lightning sounds just fine. I like bitter female characters that show no emotion in their speech. It's a nice change of pace from the ridiculously perky fuck-all throwaway generic heroines we've gotten in jRPGs recently. Aside from Lost Odyssey, of course, where at least Seth was voiced well (I always love Tara Strong).

 

[Captain N]

Any word on the trophies yet?

 

[BlueTsunami]

I loved that Chocobo Mini game in FFIX

Not yet, but you'll know soon enough.
