I can't wait to see her Hollow form!
I want to see Lightning's Quincy powers too.

I actually found that kind of funny. Good job sir, you finally made this Lightning fanboy lol.
not in a sarcastic way either, it was pretty witty.
That just means you can pummel straight through the story without the agonizing week-long wait to find out what happens. The penultimate moments are so fucking good.
On topic I wish they would just let go of the ATB system. It's stifling to have action costs separated so cleanly and discretely among 6 time slots, making the power of abilities also be separated equitably among cost. It seems what they want to do would be better suited as an action RPG ala Kingdom Hearts.

Maybe, but you know what, I'm excited for the demo.
Maybe it's funner than it looks.

I see this yet it's never the case for me

If Lightning could read this thread, I wonder what'd she do.... Besides fuck people up.
Wtf, is this a spoiler? Quincy Powers?
So now we are ragging on Bleach now too?
Bleach is freaking awesome. Probably sucks watching the anime with all those shitty fillers though.
"Fans of Final Fantasy XIII also like Bleach, and dislike One Piece" <-- this should be at the back of the box for Lightning Returns.

I dislike both so...
Speaking of which, Caius just won the award on gameinformer as the best RPG nemesis of the year:

I can't actually disagree, because I can't think of any other RPG villains right now.
Naruto and Bleach are part of a trinity, but it's sure as hell not a holy one...Hey, don't hate on my Holy Trinity of Manga.
Read the newer issues of this supposedly "final" arc.

Yeah, it will boost it's sales in NA.
They misspell his name in my copy of GI though. Kaius.
Read the newer issues.
Uhm great, thought we had some rules here for spoilers <.<, thanks

The mentioning of Hollow powers could be a spoiler too. Some GAF members are still on the pre-Soul Society arc.
At least he's now ripping off stuff that's of similar quality to his own series.
Does that mean two to four physical days or actually 24-48 hours?
True.
Its weird, the things people compare to LR to bag on it only makes me hyped more cause I like the things they compared LR too.
The new system is currently being called the Amazing ATB System.
It should be called the Visceral ATB System.

I don't think there will be any surprise here, the game will probably be long as most of RPGs and jRPGs in this generation. That means 18/20 hrs by rushing it, 27/30+ by doing all the rest. As for me, I don't care for the lenght as long as the game is entertaining all the way. And with the first open world (and interactive enviroment coming with it) in a Final Fantasy... consider me already entertained.
Ugh... whats with these comparisons? ~_~
Anyway...
Anyone feels like guessing in which month this game is going to be launched? The game is currently, what, 50% complete or more? Maybe July or August? Later?
How much of a difference will it be between the Japanese and the US/EU release? Basing this on the XIII-2 release it should be a month, tops. Right?
Also when will they place XIV? Anyway, I think that with LR and XIV out of the way, 2014 will probably, and finally, be Versus year then... or not. x_x

I'm pretty sure the game will be out in December in Japan and January in the west (a delay that exists solely for marketing reasons). A Realm Reborn instead will hit the market in August or September .
Well, they already have an English trailer so I don't think it would be too much of a wait between the Japanese and the US/EU release. They are probably working on the localization during development. It might be like FFXIII-2's release, so like you said a month. I'm thinking it will release around 2013 Holiday time in Japan too.
Nah Perfo, I would say 12 was open world first. As for release period, I would wager the end of the summer.

That's not open at all... every area has borders and it's virtually detached from any other. It's more like connected "areas" than open world. I expect something more like Dragon's Dogma from LR.
They don't have any other big hit for christmas in Japan, and DQ7, ARR ect. will be already out from months. Now, unless they release Versus under that season, there's no way LR gets released before that. It wouldn't make ANY sense.
That's awfully close to the release of the next consoles. That buzz will steal the thunder from FF13-3.
edit: FF12 is open-world like Xenoblade is open-world. That is large areas connected together linearly via corridors (and loading screens). I don't know if that fulfills the prerequisites to being called an open-world game, seems like a question for another thread.
October. Or a bit after September 22nd.
Ah okay. I see I need to brush up on what open world means. FF 12 does give you a lot of world to play in but I guess open world means one with no restrictions on where you can go?
That would be my prediction too. I think december is a bit to much, even if the holiday thing makes sense when you look to XIII and XIII-2, but still...
Don't worry, there won't be much thunder to begin with. Maybe a bit of a drizzle.
Pretty much. Early Q3 seems most likely.
What will it be then?
Was anybody else even in the running? Can't well lose a contest with only one contestant.
It can be pushed like that. I don't think there's anything big coming in the holidays.
If you play a certain way, sure. There's going to be story events you'll miss because of the path you take and the world always moving. Next time, it might be longer. To get the full story, you'll have to play through multiple times, it seems. But yeah, the plot seems to be figured out and its just world building/content/polishing, I guess.
The 2-4 days made it sound like the in-game time, not 2-4 actual days in the realworld. The reason why I say this is they said "time in LRFFXIII ends in 13 days, but whether or not you can continue past 13 days is still a secret. Test players are currently able to clear within 2-4 days," more as a whole.
I think it was also stated in an earlier interview than you can trigger the final boss before the end of the 13 days or whatever, so yeah.
Well, given the bare minimum of the entirety of 13 days could be a 13 hour playthrough... I can see it. Especially if test players have played through multiple times already.

Finally a Chrono Trigger sequel!
