That was in the Sazh DLC for FF13-2.

Was it really that hard to just have her be that one random wacky character who doesn't really need a backstory?

Amazon finally delivered mine. No idea what was up with the huge delay since they are usually almost always here 10-11 at the latest.
The product code is for the Cloud stuff?

If there's anything I've noticed about Toriyama/Watanabe's style, actually, it's that every piece needs to fit together in a puzzle or be linked together in some manner for a small 'aha/wtf' moment. Depending on how you see it, this could be a positive or a negative.
That 'aha/wtf' moment probably didn't jive well with some people who played the DLC.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
If you notice: Whatever Toriyama/Watanabe write/direct, it's going to have a weird/shitty/unnecessarily convoluted story (see X-2, XIII, XIII-2). If you throw in Nojima and/or Kitase (as a director), it will neuter it (see FFX).

Yeah just the Cloud stuff. I dont think I ordered the more expensive version which came with more DLC stuff. There was some 6000ish yen one which is this one w/ first print Cloud code.
And some 7600? yen one around there anyways that came with some other DLC stuff along with the Cloud code.

I just assume Toriyama is on some crazy mushrooms which helps keep him sane in a world he believes detests is (crazy) story ideas.
His gameplay concepts have promise though, just never let the man write a story.

Haven't kept up on this thread, can anyone summarize if this game has:
-have open world towns or open fields to explore with day night cycles?
-intricate dungeons designs?
-puzzles?
-linear or non-linear missions & sidequest progression?
-is this still turn based menu based combat or real time combat like God of War?

Thanks god the good style makes it looking better than the usual "CoD"-like games. So it doesn't matter to me in the end – also the lighting in that bay-screenshot is especially good and remembers me of HL2
That's why I don't like when like in XIII-2 they re-use old tracks even if they have a full new OST to use. That's just lazy.

Would be weird playing FF in Chinese for the first time. Hope the translation isn't bad. Heard complaints from the Chinese community for the last 2 games.

YES, YES, YES!
A dungeon in a desert seemed quite complex, but to be seen if the game spots anything else similar or more complex than that.
Battles are turn based, sort of evolution of XIII's battles so ATB x more tempo actions like parrying and evading made in real tine. Definitely not full action a la KH.

So is there slow down everywhere like XIII-2? and do the textures still look about the level of quality as a background tree in Gran Turismo 3?

single tear. Guess I will be passing on this for the first few weeks of NA release... pretty sure its gonna crash in price faster than XIII-2 at this rate.
grass textures rarely ever look good on extreme close up, so this isn't really proof of bad graphics in any game.
However,there is no doubt, this game is graphically emaciated.

No doubt. If they knew it looked that bad they should've chosen a different camera angle...
So buying this now.
That's true of a lot of shots in the game. I mean I understand that Crystal Tools isn't really meant for what they pulled in the environments, but I feel if the game had a little more time to simmer a lot of the ugly could have been a lot more well-hidden.
Like these 2-sided cardboard cut-out bottles for example.
This almost feels like a RAGE megatexture discussion all over again.
Wildlands on the stream seemed a little slow but is picking up. Hilariously enough I felt the same lack of direction with Skyrim. I guess they are on target? :V

Well that's a neat little bonus you get for beating one boss in particular.

Was this made with Garry's Mod?
No surprise there it was bound to happen.

Come on, LR is made in like 1 or 2 years, and it features a large open world. Poor textures and polygons should be a given.
even she looks ashamed to be in it
I'm sorry but SE said it themselves that it will be the most polished FF game to date. I was just being sarcastic about it

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Yesss!
Hell yeah! Hope there is more like them.
Man....there goes my impression of Lightning as a stoic (statuesque, you might say) character. Holy jeez. Definitely not using that ever.
Watch it have great stats or some shit -_-
