Eh, the announcer fellow was terribly annoying and the interviews were stilted and bland...

Still, Hype!!!!!!!!!

Plus the dinosaur area has a consistent framerate!

 

[imtehman]

I'm leaning towards the 360 version, even if I get a PS3. I guess I'll end up getting the game on both consoles.

i'll get this game based on the superior version, no matter how marginal it will be.

Why? Because i have that option

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Surprising amount of hate for the song. I don't have strong feelings for it either way. In the right scene it could work. It is a shame the originally written and recorded songs (or song) wont be in the English version but importing the Japanese OST is an easy option and one I am going to take!

Yeah it's an absolutely horrible, generic, R&B esque mess.

Give me My Furiend any day.

The harbinger of THE MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF ALL TIME

I'll repeat, it feels good being right.

March 9th muhfuckaz!

 

[Shadowlink]

Fixed.

Thanks! :lol

Square needs to release a Demo!

You don't have to rub it in.

The coolest douchebag ever.

Bet he's an optional character.

They did, but it costs a fortune. :lol

He's the optional boss that is stronger than the final boss.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

He's the optional boss that is stronger than the final boss.

:lol

 

[Fimbulvetr]

He's the optional boss that is stronger than the final boss.

His eidolon has to be a bigger douche than he is though.

 

[expy]

I saw it asked, but not answered: Who is that guy?

Don't know exactly, but I have an odd feeling that I've seen this dude somewhere before.

 

[brandonh83]

That dude should have been Justin Long.

 

[Perfect Blue]

You don't have to rub it in.

Yes, I do!

 

[Shadowlink]

They did, but it costs a fortune. :lol

I mean in NA/EU. :lol

Yes, I do!

You don't have to.

 

[Plywood]

His eidolon has to be a bigger douche than he is though.

But his eidolon is him.

bitches this right here is a good love theme, starting at 3:19 an on is where it's at. That's beautiful stuff. if you listen to Leona right after this, you will get ear cancer.

:lol Comparing Ennio Morricone to anyone is just cruel and unfair. You will never have something of that quality in a fucking final fantasy game.

Hamauzu is a talented guy though, that piece of shit song is an unfortunate hairy blemish on the so far spectacular XIII soundtrack.

 

[Shuusui]

I'm really considering importing this game, guys...

I'm a third-year Japanese student at the University of Maryland and reckon I would be able to get through it, but my comprehension of the story would be lacking. I just don't like the way the game is being handled for Western release. No dual-audio option on a BLU-RAY disc? Fuck off. A song by the talentless, Leona whatever her name is so that we Western gamers can have something we appreciate (I mean, we're used to shit music outside our games, right)? That extra cost is starting to look inconsequential now.

Import it and enjoy your J-pop.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

That stupid video was 7 minutes of talking heads, 10 seconds of gameplay footage we already saw in the TGS 2009 trailer, and 5 seconds of footage we haven't actually seen before. The only redeeming feature about that video was 3/9/2010, otherwise it was a waste of time and bandwidth. :lol

 

[Fimbulvetr]

I'm getting the 360 version unless the PS3 gives me the option to play my own music.... or I get a PS3 before the game releases. :lol

Don't worry about that. The game's story will be incomprehensible no matter what language you play it in.

Hey now, who doesn't want to hear FF developers regurgitate the same stuff they constantly say in interviews and magazines?

 

[Kagari]

just went looking for it myself, go to game videos then new arrivals

by the way, there's like absolutely no hype for this game on XBL. You see MW2 and L4D before the games come out getting thousands of ratings, but FFXIII? in the hundreds

Most FF fans bought PS3s for FFXIII and Versus XIII, that's why.

Funny that 360 has all the JRPGs this gen. Lost Odyssey did pretty well. Very much looking forward to this on 360.

Not so much anymore. Both HD systems now have equal amounts.

 

[Shadowlink]

I'm getting the 360 version unless the PS3 gives me the option to play my own music.... or I get a PS3 before the game releases. :lol

I thought the PS3 has the option to let you play your own music.

My response sounded better!

Not so much anymore. Both HD systems now have equal amounts.

Yeah but during the time, the 360 had more JRPGs. I don't see FF XIII doing very well on the 360 because there aren't a lot of 360 JRPG fans.

it will be interesting to see who wins in the NPD that month

Japan alone will win FFXIII for PS3.

Hardware or Software? Sony's got a whole lot coming out that month.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

In terms of XIII sales PS3 will win, I still think the 360 will have good sales though.

 

[Shadowlink]

I'm wondering if Versus XIII will be announced on 360 based on how it sells in the US/EU. Does Square usually tell us what they expect with sales here before the NPD?

 

[Perfect Blue]

FFXIII 360 will do just fine in NA when compared to the PS3 version. I wouldn't be surprised if the 360 sells more here.

 

[Kagari]

I'm wondering if Versus XIII will be announced on 360 based on how it sells in the US/EU. Does Square usually tell us what they expect with sales here before the NPD?

They expect 6 million world wide for FFXIII. Which is inline with past installments.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Had no idea we have so many 360ers in here!

 

[Shadowlink]

Sounds about right unless the past games haven't sold this much. I think the 360 will reach over 500k but 1 million would be great.

Had no idea we have so many 360ers in here!

Duh! It's impossible to miss out on Crackdown.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Are you kidding?

I meant specifically in this thread, I'm delusion its ok.

Well, if you count all those pirates. :lol :lol
Seriously, with no online component, that's like 1Million+ potential lost sales on that platform.

 

[Shadowlink]

:lol

-.-

Vexen, you fail at posting sometimes. :lol

Well, if you count all those pirates. :lol :lol

I forgot about Pirates! Now I expect this game to be pirated by a lot of 360 owners.

Everyone has to show off their e-peen gamer score online, otherwise it doesn't count.

True! Damn achievements. :lol

You're trying too hard. :lol

He's right though. A lot of 360 owners like playing games such as MW 2 or Halo 3 because it has online.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

[Perfect Blue]

A lot of generalizations about 360 gamers going on here.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Lets all get it for 360 for Christ's sake :lol
