Suteki Da Ne only showed up in FFX....once? (Macalania Woods scene)?

It'll be fine.

Never heard that theme before because I only played the beginning of FF X but if it only shows up once, then I guess I'll just play something randomly.

 

[jump_button]

Ashe, Basch, Balthier?

Ill give you Basch but that it Fuck know what happen to vaan brother maybe he still in that white room?

Ashe they didt go too deep into it most of that was the main story of the game

 

[Kagari]

The orchestrated theme for it was excellent. I doubt there'll be an orchestrated theme for My Hands. In fact, the general theme of Dear My Friend is sure to be several orchestral tracks in the localized release.

Most likely.

Reks died.

WTF. Did you even play the game? You see Reks get shanked. It's mentioned several times. Why do you think Vaan hated Basch!?

ARGHdsknfklndskfdn

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Why do you think Vaan hated Balthier!?

Because Baltheir was way cooler than him, though I don't see what that has to do with Reks dieing.

 

[jump_button]

Reks died.

They say it many times. :|

:lol yeah but Vaan have one flash back of him and that why you hate them you think they be more somewhere

same with Fran you get one little bit of info and that it nothing more

FF lost all its heart and now just a face keep pass it and there nothing

 

[Plywood]

Lol, I stealth edited but you quoted to fast, sir.

Vaan didnt Hate Balthier...

Read above.

 

[Shadowlink]

Its actually an okay piece though, but the theme is not as good as To Zanarkand.

Are you talking about FF X? I still need to listen to the FF XIII theme, then judge myself if it's good.

What?

Reks was a soldier in the Dalmascan army. He died a month or two after Basch(*wink*) shanked him. Vaan hates Basch because he see's him as the person who murdered his brother.

Vaan's desire to become a sky pirate was also fueled by his brother's death because it was something to help him ignore his fears and the sadness of losing his brother(he outright says this at some point).

Edit: Oh noes, off topic. Let's stop.

He ends up just going with it since he idolizes Balthier.

So, how about that battle system?

 

[Shadowlink]

Yeah, Suteki Da Ne, which is I guess the main theme of FFX. "To Zanarkand" is another main theme that I believe is better, But Suteki Da Ne is still good.

So is Zanarkand the NA/EU theme of FF X? Sorry but I've never heard any of these themes before. :lol

Anyways, I think I'll listen to My Hands later. I don't really like J-pop so I won't listen to the other theme.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm rather curious why the TGS2009 trailer was available for download in full 1080p from Japanese PSN in spoken Japanese but only 720p from American/European PSN in spoken English.

 

[Cloudy]

Speaking of "Suteki Da Ne", the Korean version is amazing. The way the lady sings it is just so nice..

[Fimbulvetr]

Japan is superior.

I'm tempted to take the "destroy it" scene from E3 and switch "fal'Cie" with "Japan". :/

 

[tebiro boy]

Any chance of a Japanese voice option in the NA/EU versions? Surely there's space on those Blu-rays these days... has there been any word?

Given this release date, and that Christmas postage means I wouldn't get the JP version til January anyway... I'm wondering if I should hold off.

Does anyone truly?

I always thought that it was some cruel joke played on us by the Japanese because of the atomic bomb. I cannot imagine them actually listening and enjoying them (except for Karma, Karma rocks!).

There are some exceptions here and there. No genre has absolutely nothing redeemable (with the exception of a few that I'd rather not name)

 

[ExtraKr1spy]

I wonder if they'll bring back the bullshit "don't open these or you cant get something later" chests from FF12.

Clearly evident by their pop music in games.

Do tell, because i cannot think of one, not one genre that is like that.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

I just looked back at one of the TGS demos shown by gamersyde.

Two things I noticed.

1) When picking TP to summon Odin(has a 3 TP cost), another command appeared on Lightning's menu(only had 1 TP cost).

Meaning, even though the devs said there would be no limit breaks, there may be some sort of special abilities utilized through TP.

Meaning I may still be able to use my precious Overclock.

2) When picking the summon command a completely different sub menu opens up(with Odin's name in it). Why have a sub menu(with the English word "Summon" on top) when each character only has one summon?

My l'CD theory just seems more and more likely now.

Alternatively it could just be a way to have you party members perform a summoning.

The other ability's Libra/scan. The 1 TP ability.

 

[Crash Station]

It's really just a personal preference. A genre that I REALLY hate. One that no matter how hard I try, there isn't one song I like. I didn't want to say it because I'm sure there are many fans here of it.

Spoiler

Rap

I know I said a few, but that's the only one. Ironically, I enjoy some hip hop.


On topic: So anybody going for 100% trophies/achievements? I'm thinking about it as long as there isn't anything super ridiculous mixed in.

Did't they say that some may have more then one Summon..... I'm sure I saw it somewhere

I hope they are more in some big sidequest's with a story and not just find A and take to B

 

[lorddarkflare]

As for the summons, i actually would like to see them follow through with the 1/character thing.

Also, maybe we get to see Serah's Summon at some point (boss battle perhaps?).

Well I am pretty predictable even though my tastes don't make much sense.

And it's not the lyrics I care about, I'm just not a fan of the tune. The song could be about hitting bricks with a spoon and I would still like it if the song was catchy enough. Hell, I barely listen to music as it is. There's really only 3 genres in music I like (Punk, Techno, Celtic/Irish Punk Rock) and even those I barely listen to.

But thanks for trying. Those songs aren't bad, just not my thing. And if he indeed looks like you, then you're damn sexy.

All we need are more summons like Alexander and FFXIII will pretty much be like Gurren Lagann but with pringles instead of drills.

You are not that predictable. If it was something like rock or pop, you would have said so. If it were multiple ones, you would have listed them and excluded that one.

Some people are under the impression that if they say they do not like that, some might take it as some sort of racial bias and attack them. How close am i?

If the summons exceed the size of Alexander, i am out. No galaxy sized mecha please.

 

[xenorevlis]

I hope this console limitation crap gets put aside and they give NA/EU an option to download the Japanese voice / music tracks for a few bucks. Kinda lame having so much storage capacity on one system, but not using it because of "fairness". Since when were either company about being fair to each other? They spend millions on exclusives, heh.

Making it DLC would still keep it "fair"

It has nothing to do with fairness. The work that is required just is not worth it from their PoV.

Besides, it would be nice if more devs stopped leaning on the Dual-audio crutch and actually bulk up their talent.

They'll probably save all that for Final Fantasy XIII: International a year after the game's release.

 

[Kagari]

Doesn't SO4 International have dual audio? :lol

Yep, sure does. Along with most other JPRGs to be localized.

I don't know, maybe it's just me but the FFXIII localization seems really rushed. As far as VA talent and the whole not dubbing the vocal song written by Hamauzu thing...

You got it. I can't tell you how many times people got pissd and called me racist when I said I didn't like rap. I'm not racist. In fact, I'm friends with at least one person in most races/religions. The weird thing is most of the people accusing me are white. This is a nice suburban town and seeing these rich white kids act all gangsta is pretty annoying.

And yes, as much as I love giant galaxy sized mecha, it would be dumb if it surpasses what everything else in the established universe is capable of.

 

[lorddarkflare]

Doesn't SO4 International have dual audio? :lol

:lol That was painful.

But i did say from their PoV. They should release Dual-audio as a matter of principle, not as a replacement for localization

I don't know, maybe it's just me but the FFXIII localization seems really rushed. As far as VA talent and the whole not dubbing the vocal song written by Hamauzu thing...

VAs are alright, dialogue is pure cheese. Song thing is stupid but I don't care because they only replaced crap with other crap.

Well i am black and have listened mostly to rock and metal most of my life. I get the entire 'stop acting white' thing from friends of all races, funny really.

I agree with fimb, it is the dialogue that makes it feel this way. The VA is pretty competent. Sazh needs to gain 20 years and Lightning needs to slow the hell down, but that is about it.

Now if we want to compare to XII...(also how was the script for XII? Was it as inferior as they say?)

 

[Styles]

Definitely, 3 months to finish the whole English VA compared to the 1 year it took for the JP VA? Really.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Wait, who the hell says the XII localized script is inferior?
