Part of me wants Versus PS4 exclusive so we can Noctis and Stella character models at near CG quality!

Stella already looked superb in the last trailer.

Cross-generation would obviously hinder that.

 

[Seda]

I just hope the game isn't boring. Being pretty didn't help FFXIII

 

[MagiusNecros]

Someone should have stopped his reign of terror right there.

Fucking Kitase.

Kitase's basically been Toriyama's White Knight for a long time. I don't think Kitase really cares anymore. He hasn't been developing anything himself.

If they do everything they said they were going to do it shouldn't be.

The main thing Nomura said that appealed to me gameplay wise is that he wanted to set the difficulty towards the high-end.

Let's hope that's true. Battle systems shine when the difficulty is high., and I believe instantaneous character switching for cross character combos has potential.

But they need to do it right.

Type 0 was a step in the right direction in that regard but it can be better.

another scene which will not be in the final game.


But yea, I would love to have versus on PS4 with near CG look of characters

 

[fates]

Cautiously optimistic about this. Certainly hope this all doesn't turn out to be mobile or Eidos stuff.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

that's why a Kitase/Itou creative revolution needs to happen.
Those guys made absolute magic with limited 16-bit tech.
Could they repeat with modern, more expansive technology? I think so.

That looks superb? It looks really creepy to me.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

That looks superb? It looks really creepy to me.

Well Stella has always had a bit of a creepy/mysterious look to her.

In terms of the model itself it seemed a clear step up from the XIII real-time models.

 

[StuBurns]

That whole scene pales compared to the version on the FFXIII demo.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

They'll be showing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, as they supposedly are both 2013 titles. I'm not sure if it'd be very smart of them to distract from those titles by announcing new ones to throw on the pile.

No, those are titles which will probably be at their booth and playable to the press etc, they're not material for conferences. And you're forgetting that Square Enix have already stated a new Final Fantasy will debut at E3 - you don't debut the next FF on your own booth, you do it where everybody is looking.

For me it comes down to the story, a good story can make up for some really atrocious gameplay. I can adapt my expectations pretty well when the story seems to be something else.

I dunno man,they're not the same men they were all those years ago.

Things change, people change, nothing is like it was before and never will be again.

I'm quite the opposite.

It's the eyes dude. Shining waaaaay too much.

PS3 shimmering man.

It was like that in Uncharted 2 as well.

Nintendo Direct?

I kid. All I care about with Square is BDFF.

That is pretty much on par with XIII high poly models.

Nothing creepy about Stella.She actually seems passionate about what she is saying in the scenes with Noctis. She does have a very imposing/powerful image though. Like a really strong woman.

 

[kayos90]

BD is a Nintendo published game. Idk why it would be in the SE booth... even if it is developed by them.

As I said I care more for new IP's then the same old junk we've been tossed. It's like having the same Pizza and I have to eat it everyday.

They'll be too busy pimping Weather phenomenon returns.

 

[StuBurns]

Other than the few examples of direct sequels, any of the Final Fantasies could have been called anything else.

 

[kayos90]

I just thought I'd clarify. I've seen it multiple times the past month where people think BD and SE are tied together at E3 or whatnot. SE developed the game sure but it's a Nintendo published game meaning Nintendo will handle everything now.

 

[MagiusNecros]

And that's the problem.

It's a double edged sword for sure.

"Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess

Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest."

 

[HeelPower]

Why did they have to shove in the time mechanic for LR ? can't we just play a game that feels organic at all ? 13-2 was promised to be open but it hardly was due to the historia crux crap. They didn't even think about designing like the AMAZING Nexus so that it feels fun and part of the game.Not even a KH style world map to travel between "timezones"(which was really 5 areas max each repeated twiced with no real differences)

Instead here is this ugly ass historia menu that feels so out of the game , so intrusive and has super long loading times.

Because he wanted to make Lightning happy.

Spoiler

Which she already was at the end...but whatever

 

[MagiusNecros]

Toriyama's fav character was Serah. Irony.

Spoiler

Killing her sister was a great move to do so in accordance to make Lightning happy. And having the game say Lightning caused said death to happen is even more funny. Let's not get into the happy joy joy music that played during it. Or the DLC Farroncest whirls and swirls of 3rd Birthday take 2

 

[HeelPower]

LR is gonna be divisive yet again.There is NO way everyone will like the time limit bullshit.Its probably gonna have some gimmick mechanic that will turn people off.

Eh, Lightning Returns isn't for fans of FF, it's for fans of Lightning.

It will be interesting to see just how many that entails when sales hit.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Eh I wouldn't even say that. Lightning Returns is a game for Toriyama.

Sorry. I love Genesis. I have a thing for cool, overly flamboyant bishies yo. LOLOLOLOL

 

[MagiusNecros]

Nothing would forestall his return if Square finished that compiliation with his guest appearance in Dirge.

One thing you could say is that the Genesis of this Gackt looking character is he totally mucks up the entirety of FFVII's plot synopsis.

He pretty much goads old Sephy into teh evulz in the most bad cliche anime way possible.

Can someone remind me why CC is liked so much ? That slot machine mechanic makes it one of the worst battle systems in memory.Also the story really wasn't any better than XIII.I couldn't finish that game.Maybe because I amnot a VII fan and I can't relate to it ?

Something about Zack Fair being a decent character or some crap.

I don't like it much either.

(._. )

Music was pretty good though.

Zack...is decent ? He is pretty much snow but not as loud and obnoxious.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I don't like it much either.

Well Ishimoto did compose for it. Who also composed for Type 0.

Zack...is decent ? He is pretty much snow but not as loud and obnoxious.

Hey Japan apparently likes him so who am I to judge right?

 

[YAWN]

Angeal was cool too.

 

[kayos90]

World Domination.

 

[Meccanical]

Angeal was cool too.

Yeah I liked Angeal.

Can't say I'm a fan of any of the compilation entries myself.

Hate'em all.

Well Before Crisis was the only good one so...

Spoiler

Tabata worked on it. Therefore Japan onry

 

[HeelPower]

Tabata remains a mediocore director to me. His efforts in both CC and T3B were pretty lack luster.I can't rave about Type-0 when I can't play it.So yea.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Tabata's first real game where he had complete control was Type 0.

Toriyama kinda ruined both CC and T3B.(seeing a pattern yet?)

 

[YAWN]

Yeah, I'm honestly happy FFIX didn't get the compilation treatment considering the state of FFVII's.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I don't want Square to touch FFIX. Ever.

 

[HeelPower]

Hiroyuki ito is definitely the person most capable of driving the series forward . FFXII says it all. I really want them to make a game like once more. This immense gigantic monster.
